Viktoria Binschtok Work from her oeuvre. “In her image cycles Viktoria Binschtok traces the paradoxes of daily life – sometimes she observes the accumulation of the trade mark LVNY in our urban street setting, sometimes she reveals the traces of an ever increasing need based community at the job center or points to the separation [...]

Zoe Leonard Work from You see I am here afterall. “The cards Leonard has amassed range in date from the early 1900s, when postcards were first allowed by the U.S. Postal Service, to the post-War era, when they had become a ubiquitous part of the American travel experience. Along with other reproductive media, postcards contributed [...]

ME YOU USI am an artist looking to collaborate with a wide range of people (artists, non-artists, whomever!) for a new project I have started. Bellow are some calls for artwork. This will be a great experience to learn about other people and yourself a…

Jill Magid’s work involves infiltrating systems of authority and power to explore issues of vulnerability, observation, and trust. By drawing institutions closer, exploiting their loopholes, seducing their agents, repeating their logic, and pushing the limits of revelation, she has developed a highly conceptual, performance-based practice.

“Rape is horrifyingly widespread in conflicts all around the world,” writes The Economist, with a focus on Congo. Besieged is a collaborative project by photographers Ying Ang, Agnes Dherbeys, Sarah Elliott, and Benedicte Kurzen, intended to put …

Allora & Calzadilla Work from Back Fire. “The ‘Back Fire’ series are colour photographs of constellations, stars and galaxies, which have been set fire to from the back with matches. This action has generated a new space both physically and photographically. The burning of the photograph fires-back an unstable image, which has been re-photographed at [...]

For the exhibition Time Capsule, Ondák expands on this trajectory with the creation of two new works that reference recent world events. The first work, an installation entitled Time Capsule, makes direct reference to the incident at the San José mine in Chile in 2010, in which 33 miners were trapped 700 meters below ground for 69 days.

All travel is retrospective. We don’t travel for the experience – most traveling time is spent waiting, after all – but in order to have something to remember. The easy editing abilities of digital photography have transformed utterly the modern idea of travel. It’s all peaks, no troughs: the past perfect. Journeys only really exist [...]

Work from Covers
“Ofer xeroxed old, cloth-bound book covers creating a complete black and white book. by isolating each book title and removing it from its literary context, Ofer allowed the simplicity of the word, the font, and t…

Qajar
In the series Qajar, I tried to reconstruct the atmosphere of a previous era by using old backdrops. My models, chosen among close family and friends, are shown wearing clothes from the turn of the 20th century and are carrying objects, mostly smuggled, into contemporary Iran.
When I was working on this series of photographs, [...]

Brian Khek Work from his oeuvre. “Interpreting our relationship with information as a visual spectrum of didactic signifiers, the images in my work subjugate and expand physical experiences simultaneously. The fixed image inherently rephrases an experience. Documentation of this work is not interchangeable with the original object. It instead behaves as a different language through [...]

Through endless variations and concatenations in a variety of media including photography and video as well as installations and objects, the artist demonstrates how complex human perception is. Space plays a significant role in her presentation of her works, which perpetually call for new contexts and settings that endow them with fresh meaning.

If deprived of intimacy—without the closeness of another human’s body and touch—a human child has little chance of survival past infancy. In societies where the majority of people have all their basic needs met—food, potable water, clothing, shelter—our need for intimacy, both physical and emotional, remains the one essential need that neither charitable organizations nor [...]

According to Juror Peter Howe:”Early Morning, After Dark: Dawn’s First Light to Dusk’s Last is a broad topic for a photographer to undertake. This has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side it allows for an almost inexhaustible range of su…

Moshekwa Langa’s art is amongst the most difficult to pigeonhole. “People can’t reconcile my idiosyncratic views with their own desire to classify me”, he says, but his work, meandering along contradictory trajectories, often tempts the viewer to arrive at false conclusions. In many ways, Langa’s work mirrors the artist’s life and his activities as they oscillate between Johannesburg and Europe, between nostalgia for his rural South African home and his life as an expatriate in Europe.

What are the limits of knowledge? Where is there still mystery, and how are researchers moving towards these “unknown” territories?

Gaël Odilon Paccard Work from Bits and Pieces. Bits and pieces is simultaneously familiar and foreign. This dichotomy, however, is not necessarily what draws me to the work. The images patently acknowledge the image as an effect of process. While one could argue that the image of image inherently addresses the function of the photograph, what is often missing is the [...]

Valerie Green Work from her oeuvre. “Recently, rather than taking photographs you deal with the materiality of photography, whether it’s the symbols on rolls of film or material (Sintra) on which photos are commonly mounted. Can you talk a bit about your relationship to photography and exploring the non-image side of it? You seem to [...]
