FRAGMENTED NOSTALGIC GRACE 

Back in Feb 2010 I’ve posted some of MARLO PASCUAL’s work. But I’ve just found some more work by her that I love on triangulationblog. Marlo Pascual (b.1972) is a Brooklyn based artist who creates photo-based images, sculptures and installations that re-examines the viewer’s relationship to the photographs.

Money can buy you love

Collages by American conceptual artist BARBARA KRUGER (b.1945 New Jersey). Most of her work consists of found photographs in black and white with provocative phrases – the idea being to question meaning and create new ones. Her early work as a graphic designer and art director for magazines such as Condé Nast Publications, Mademoiselle, House and Garden is a great influence in her work as an artist. Barbara lives and works in NYC and LA. She is represented by SPRÜTH MAGERS gallery in London.

NEW PHOTOGRAPHY 2010 @ MoMA

Los Angeles based artist AMANDA ROSS-HO (b.1975 in Chicago) is currently part of New Photography 2010 @ MoMA (Sept.29,2010-Jan.10,2011) together with Roe Ethridge, Elad Lassry & Alex Prager. NEW PHOTOGRAPHY 2010 explore the relationship between straight and constructed photograph, image and picture. Amanda combines apparently mismatched media, including found objects, drawings, paintings, photographs, video and sculpture into her work. Check out my previous postings with work by Elad Lassry & Alex Prager. Amanda’s work is inspired by the material culture and the idea that everything can be recycled in the creative process. Amanda Ross-Ho is represented by Cherry & Martin in Los Angeles & Mitchell-Innes & Nash in NYC. She was part of the Whitney Biennial in 2008.

The joy of destruction rather than the making

For VALERY HEGARTY, the joy of her work lies in its destruction rather that its making.
Valerie Hegarty speaks of her works as living things undergoing change. For the past several years her process has involved copying and then modifying iconic American paintings, making them look as if they had been pummeled by waves, attacked by birds, or signed by fire. (Museo Magazine)
Her pieces evolve through spontaneity and improvisation. Love the idea behind her work of replicating iconic paintings in order to later trash them as if they had been hit by nature’s destructive potential.  The frame sculpture I have posted looks as if it has been destroyed by nature and as if nature has made the work more real. It’s growing. Valery is represented by Guild & Greyshkul gallery & Nicelle Beauchene gallery in NYC.

The Art of light and space

Above installation views from Californian artist JAMES TURRELL (b.1943) ‘Wolfsburg Project’ – a walk-in sculpture of light where you’ll get a sense of infinity. The ‘Wolfsburg Project’ was exhibited @ Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Germany – Oct 2009-Apr.2010. Turrell is probably one of the best known artist working with light and space. Liberating light from its source and letting it spread freely throughout a room is the essence of Turrell’s work. He is influenced by the celestial architecture of various advanced civilizations. Coudn’t resist posting the lowest sculpture as well entitled ‘Bouliée Boula’ from 1988. A future house perhaps?
