The channels through which photography finds its way to the buyers are still highly traditional. Original prints are mainly sold through galleries. But since new media channels, particularly the Internet, are gaining increasing importance in all sectors of the economy, including the fine art market, there is no reason why the trading of artworks through […]

My youngest sister was born when I was 13 years old. It was a few months before the sex education program started at school, and I had no knowledge about sex. Friends made fun of my parents for having a baby, and that was really confusing for me. I respect my parents. They were very […]

Leah Oates: You have an upcoming solo show at Charles Cowles Gallery in June. Can you give us a preview of what you will be showing, and, since this is a big show for any artist, tell us how you are preparing mentally? Pepe Villegas: I met Charles Cowles almost a decade ago through mutual artist friends, […]

Leah Oates: When did you know you were an artist, and how did you develop as an artist? Sebastian Lemm: It was a very gradual process. Growing up, I never really considered being an artist, although I’ve always had a desire for creative freedom. It took me a while to figure out how to best […]

We enjoy amplifying mundane issues and converting them into seemingly life-changing happenings, and what’s worse, we believe them to be universally significant. I take possession of […]

It seems, and this could be already the age, that my motivation to make art is getting more and more simple. At the current moment I could describe my work just as writing a diary before I go to sleep. I don’t care too much about the trends or preferred medias that current fashion dictates, […]

As a musician, I am interested in the sensual nature of sound, its power of synchronization, coordination, release, and change. Hearing represents the primary sense organ—hearing happens involuntarily. Our ears are always receiving, whether or not we are aware of it.
