Nicole Awai




Nicole Awai :
I am focused primarily on two things, multiplicity of perspective (the many at once) and the elasticity of time . . . which stretches and bounces back and forth in our complex, collective human psyche. History dissolves, evaporates, and reconstitutes constantly and all at once, making the postcolonial predicament immediate and ephemeral, distant and perpetual. The shift space, the ooze, the place in between, is where meaning is elucidated and compounded all at once.

De Amiga 500 (ook mijn eerste PC 1990)
De Commodore liefhebbers uit de jaren 80 wilden net als heden te dage natuurlijk steeds meer computerpower. Na verloop van tijd namen zij geen genoegen meer met de 8-bits CPU’s. Helaas was de oorspronkelijke Amiga 1000 bij de introduktie erg duur en wachtten veel mensen in eerste instantie toch nog een tijdje af met een nieuwe aankoop. Gelukkig werd dit wachten beloond en introduceerde Commodore al snel daarna de Amiga 500 als gedoodverfde opvolger van de C64/128 lijn.

Simon Faithfull




Since he was a child, Simon Faithfull has suffered from “a melancholy awareness that I was tethered to this mundane realm. Like many young boys I was annoyed to find out that other things could fly and I couldn’t. Flies could even walk on ceilings! That didn’t seem fair.”

Nils Kasiske




Warum man ihn kennen muss: Seine Fähigkeit, die Strukturen des Alltags in der modernen Großstadt herauszuarbeiten, machen ihn zu einem der ernst zu nehmenden zeitgenössischen urbanen Objektkünstler Deutschlands.

Was ihn auszeichnet:
Nils Kasiske hält sich nicht mit Konsumkritik auf, sondern schafft dem Betrachter Momente für eigene Reflexionen. Dabei sind seine Kunstwerke stets ambivalent, vielschichtig und konzeptionell klug.
