Felipe Russo Lugar Dito

What to do with the business of time? From 2020 to 2023, we were forced to face this question by the global pandemic. It will forever mark generations of people in the 21st Century by its unnerving qualities, its obvious malady, and, more to the point of this conversation, what we were meant to understand […]

Thomas Boivin Place de la République

    Place de la République is a central meeting point in Paris. Several underground metro lines stop at its station, and its wide-open square is a gathering place for many people, particularly younger people. When you first enter the square, there is a flurry of activity, but it never feels overly crowded. Suppose you […]

Carla Rossi Bellissima

She’s posing for consumer products now and thenFor every camera, she gives the best she canI think I saw her on the cover of a magazineNow she’s a big success, I want to meet her again -Kraftwerk, via Big Black Of course, I know nothing about modelling. Still, I can assume that there is a […]

Dana Lixenberg De Wallen Amsterdam

  With Dana’s work, one cannot help but be mesmerized by her ability to capture people in situ. Her career has been broadly defined by her portrait work, both commercially and for her own personal subjectivity. Whereas having a career built on poraiture no doubt inspires a healthy relationship with the craft of photography, there […]

Robert Leblanc Tin Lizards

  Sloppy 7-Eleven soap box orators, holding court and council on piss-stained curbs, the newly defined character of a shared and collapsing destiny, glory faded, by sun, by blood, spittle the color of grey, lungs concretized with coal dust, and alcohol vapor. Halfbent, and drooling, a new performance piece, the fent creating a series of […]

The Blueprints of Robert Rauschenberg & Susan Weil

The cyanotype is a very flexible process developed from water. One paints or layers ferric ammonium oxalate and potassium ferricyanide on a substrate, usually paper, but also fabric. One then exposes a negative or an object to direct sunlight. After a test has been made, the print is washed in water, revealing a beautiful Prussian […]

Daniel Shea Distribution

If ever the premise of a body of work was betrayed by its execution, this is that work. I should clarify that this statement is not intended as a pejorative, but rather to note that the simplicity of the means in Shea’s initial premise is a bit of a false lead. It starts with a […]

Daphne Kotsiani These Earthly Shores

There is a penchant, over the past ten to fifteen years or so, for photographic image-making to re-examine landscapes as scratchy abstractions, almost imperceptibly detailed beyond the reach of their granular vistas. This is most evident in the work of Korean/American artist Jungjin Lee, whose series of books and bodies of work detail the shift […]

INTERVIEWS

An Interview with Goran Bertok: Dead Meat, Bright Lights

“There is a relevant question: can I learn anything from a dead body, from a corpse without a name and history? It is only a dead piece of meat that has a certain shape but it has no story. So I document dead piece of meat, indeed”. An Interview with Goran Bertok, by Brad Feuerhelm […]

Mutsuko Ota of IMA Gallery @ Unseen

” I believe that art has a power to challenge our preconceived perceptions and suggest new perspectives. Fujiwara’s “Code Unknown” is an ambitious work that explores a new approach towards the issue of portrait rights and privacy that we often face in today’s visual culture”. By Brad Feuerhelm IMA gallery’s main focus is to help young […]

An Interview with Felicity Hammond @ Unseen

“I tend to find that my sculptural work comes from far clearer visions before they are constructed. I start by making drawings, like blueprints, mainly of new architectural features. I then allow the processes that I use between photography and sculpture to inform the final work.” Fanny Landström with Felicity Hammond, ASX, September 2015 A […]

Interview with Tristan Lund @ Unseen: Theatre of The Fair

”It’s like theatre and actually for those days of the fair it is a bit like being on stage with the artworks. The opening day of any fair, Unseen and Paris Photo especially, are like hosting a party, you catch up with friends and colleagues but meet new ones too. It can be a lot […]

An Interview With Brett Rogers of The Photographers Gallery @ Unseen

“I agree that London and Amsterdam are significant players – along with Paris – within the European photography scene. I feel that right now Amsterdam and London are edgier though than Paris – in the way they engage with photography presenting on the whole a less canonical approach to the medium.”   An Interview With […]

An Interview with Kehrer Gallery @ Unseen

”A book and a space are two different media, or in other words: display cases. Thinking about the gallery program for us means thinking about showing substantial art in a space in order to meet the constant challenge of making good exhibitions”. An Interview with Kehrer Gallery @ Unseen By Brad Feuerhelm BF: Kehrer Gallery […]

Beni Bischof @ Unseen: “Try Out Something Today”

“Every media has its own effect and fascination” Beni Bischof’s a product of his generation. His artistic output seems to make peace with being raised in the 70s and 80s. There is a consumptive pattern of material use. Absurd images of advertising enabled by an errant hot dog here and there and the drip of […]

In his images of cowboys and businessmen, well-composed ladies, and fidgety […]

Todd Hido: “House Hunting” (2001)

“Todd Hido’s large color photographs of suburbia are lonely, forlorn, mysterious… and strangely comforting. Hido photographs the interior rooms of repossessed tract homes, and the outsides of similar houses at night whose habitation is suggested by the glow of a television set or unseen overhead bulb. Seldom does the similar evoke such melancholy. Yet rather […]
