Judith Fegerl’s contemporary artworks draw a fine line between art and scientific enquiry. Her technical explorations of vision and sensory experiences that influence our understanding of all environments are the focus of her minimal installations.

Die Malerei von Tom Fabritius fixiert das, was als flüchtig Wahrgenommenes ansonsten sich jeder Fixierung verweigert, mediale Momentaufnahmen, die über das Fernsehen in unser Bewusstsein treten. Was in bewegten Bildern Wirklichkeit simuliert, wird "still gestellt" zur Frage nach dieser Wirklichkeit. Die Malerei Fabritius' arbeitet sich ab an der mimetischen Qualität von Bildern, die in einem komplexen Gefüge von Medien Wirklichkeit zu behaupten suchen. Das Fotografieren vorm Fernseher und die Verwendung der so entstandenen Fotografien als Vorlage für malerische Kompositionen konterkariert unsere gewohnte Realitätswahrnehmung durch Medien, verkehrt gleichsam deren historische Entwicklung. Hier wird etwas zurückgeführt und als Bild schließlich isoliert, was im gewohnten Kontext Teilhabe suggerieren will.

Rosson Crow's slick and vibrant paintings of proverbial environments pulse with saturated tension. Crow uses lustrous paint and leaching marks to illustrate a referential dissolution of historical interiors and cultural allusions and render luxuriant spaces that appear to collapse in upon themselves.

In this exclusive look at the artist's private world, Bill Viola talks with remarkable honesty. Director Mark Kidel followed Bill Viola for over two-and-a-half years and accompanied him to places of particular personal significance: the Californian desert and the Basilica di San Francesco in Assisi. The film, which includes carefully chosen extracts from many of Viola's essential works, offers a unique perspective on the artist's work and his sources of inspiration.

My sculptural works and installations are comprised of numerous small-scale hand made objects. In the case of my ongoing project 'Inventory', the bombardment of data currently numbers over 1,500 individual elements. Presented en masse to the viewer, these apparently random images are drawn from a wide range of sources, including mythology, religious iconography, historical occurrence, popular culture and mundane reality. Taken from similar sources, my drawings and random lists written off the top of my head, function in parallel to the sculptural works and share the same stream-of-consciousness aesthetic.

David Schnell (pdf alert) usually employs elements of landscape in his paintings. Indeed, first-time viewers might be under the impression that they are looking at landscape paintings, but in reality they are witnessing Schnell's obsessive treatment of space - something he frequently intensifies by painting in large formats that seem to engulf the viewer. Equally striking is Schnell's compelling use of linear perspective and the vanishing point to create pictorial order.

Mon travail est structuré autour des notions de détournements et de recyclage d’éléments générés par les mass média : textes, images, sons, mais aussi de l’histoire de l’art, du cinéma et de la littérature… L’idée, qui conduit à ces formes de création, est la volonté d’une relecture (critique, poétique et/ou esthétique) d’un réel préexistant.

Kristen Schiele 's dreamy, visionary treatment of architectural space is matched by a resolute sense of composition that pairs folksy expressionism with a clinical facility for manufacturing eerie, otherworldly drama. In short, her paintings feel German.

My practice can be grouped under the interpretation of body and its relationship to its environment. I make attempts to emancipate the body from social and cultural norms and try to suggest ways to distance one from the limits imposed on the society by totalitarian establishments. I believe that even temporary emancipations can help us be aware of the limits forced on us by the regimes of society. I appear in unfamiliar places where supposedly “I do not belong” according to the tradition, laws, or patriarchal value systems.

100 wallets dropped in front of hidden cameras to test honesty...
...Each of the 100 lost wallets contained $2.10 in real money, a fake $50.00 gift certificate, some miscellaneous items and a clearly written ID card identifying the lost wallet's rightful owner. We were curious as to how honest people would be and wanted to see how different groups would compare to each other. - wallettest.com

Hannah Henry began to use photography in her artwork after studying media theory at Harvard. Although her work has a strong formal aesthetic, content is always informed by an awareness of the evolving power of the mediated image. Much of her work involves a process of magnifying low resolution imagery from video footage to web grabs.
