In talking about artists who turn their life into art, one has to mention Carmen Einfinger as a primary representative of our day. Without any artificial attitude, Carmen Einfinger transforms every aspect of her everyday life into an art piece: her clothes, her furniture, her whole Soho loft, everything she deals with gets that colorful, […]

“The only task left is to consider how I received this idea. For I did not get it through the senses, nor has it ever appeared to me unexpectedly, as the ideas of sensible objects are wont to do, when these objects are presented or seem to be presented to my external organs, nor is […]

There is a cultural shift happening right now. I can sense it. Just listen to the radio. There’s more R + B, Hip Hop is mixing with other forms and Indie Rock is pop. There is a general mining of post war 20th century culture going on. But, this is not your standard retro thing, […]

This past fall in London, the commercial gallery Riflemaker and the peripatetic organization, Centre of Attention—far from similar art world denizens—mounted concurrent exhibitions based on the city’s obsolete, avant-garde spaces. Matrices of alternative sociality and radical aesthetics driven by malaise with art world commercialism and an often unchecked idealism, these spaces offered significant challenges to […]

A focus loosely based on science, on a micro level, can help us to understand our greater thoughts, actions and interactions. An investigation of the thoughts and […]

Qualified in painting and printing by the Fine Arts School of Barcelona, my work has evolved from a pop-punk treatment and subject matter that can be seen ever since my late-80s record cover designs, posters, paintings, prints and comics, to the extremely personal portrait imagery developed in my illustrations for La Vanguardia, Lateral or Quimera […]

I am interested in collecting and collapsing the signals and objects of exclusion, separation and leisure. While restrictive images typically define and reinforce spaces of privilege, through the creation of sites of control, this work examines the breakdown of such over-determinations. I am particularly interested in suggesting speculative configurations, which imagine new social possibilities or […]
