• From Game World to the Real World – Janna Schoenberger

      A concept, script, design and soundtrack: these could be the building blocks used to compose numerous artistic productions like a film or an animation, maybe even a theatre production. Coincidentally, these aspects are also taken into consideration when creating a video game. Gradually, video game art has begun to pop up in galleries and to […]

    • Ilona Miko at the Seed Design Studio – James Scarborough

      Thursday, 5 October 2006 15:16

      A children’s song about an inchworm that’s so busy measuring the marigolds that she doesn’t stop to see how beautiful they are. Not the case with Ilona Miko’s brain cell photographs on display at The Seed Design Studio in Santa Ana. The product of the research of a developmental neuroscientist—Research Fellow, Doctorate, neuroscience—these photographs bristle […]

      The “Dada” exhibition opened in June at the Museum of Modern Art in New York with more than 400 objects in every medium existing at the beginning of the 20th Century. It was truly an international, cultural movement with artists organizing demonstrations, performances and publishing art and literary journals. The Dadaists’ revolt against the traditional […]

    • Portals of Life – Natalie Uhlmann

      Thursday, 5 October 2006 14:57

      Six years ago I started this project. Beforehand I had been thinking a lot about taboos, about fears and I enquired into the difference between eroticisim and pornography and the fine line in between. I was also continuously questioning myself in relation to my motivation. I knew more or less what a vulva looked like, […]

    • Artist Statement for Pun – Antoinette Prattis

      Thursday, 5 October 2006 12:44

      Photomontages are usually made up of images that come from other images. Being able to see an image outside of its original context and putting into another is recycling at its best. This is why I enjoy creating digital photomontages. I’ll see something in a picture, separate the image from the picture and put it […]

    • Nous Nous Sommes Tant Aimés – Sébastien Planas, director of the Collections de Saint Cyprien

      Wednesday, 4 October 2006 17:10

      It is very difficult to talk about love without being precious or dogmatic. On one hand, it is thought that love is ineffable, that it is a domain where reason ignores the heart’s expectancies. Hence, everything becomes flowery and eventually turns into an eternal repetition in a world of kitsch imagery. On the other hand, […]

    • Almighty Bruce – Suzie Walshe

      Wednesday, 4 October 2006 17:06

      There are certain artists who need no introduction; their work, reputation and influence is so vast it almost goes without saying. Bruce Nauman is one such artist. Nauman has been recognized since the 70s as one of the most innovative and provocative of America’s contemporary artists, yet he separates himself from the art world, living […]

    • Yes Men – Colleen Becker

      Wednesday, 4 October 2006 16:59

      “Halliburton Solves Global Warming.” While credited to “Halliburton Emergency Products Development,” a press release with a hook like this could only be the work of one organization—notorious prankster-activists The Yes Men. Give the document a quick once-over, and you’ll find all the attributes of a typical press release: it starts with a lengthy quotation from […]

    • The Birth of an Artistic Capital – Andrzej Lawn

      Wednesday, 4 October 2006 14:05

      Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real ‘wow, that’s big’ time. Infinity is just so big that by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we’re trying […]

    • To Infinity and Beyond – Christine Cavallomagno

      Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real ‘wow, that’s big’ time.
