On the Road to Tianzhu
“Want to know what is going to happen next? Please listen to the next chapter.” I heard these words every day during my childhood. Every day at noon, 12 o’clock sharp, everybody would sit around the radio waiting for the upcoming program, a story-telling program featuring just one man. It was a one-man show, in […]
Riding the Waves
I take an experimental approach with my photography: different angles, themes, and equipment coupled with my work ethic. Over the past four years, my work has not only transformed the magazines I work with into category leaders, but it has reinvigorated the entire world of surf photojournalism. Whether I’m swimming in the impact zone on […]
A Pieced Reality, A Woven Dream
My photographic work is driven by a strong sense of narrative, often with a dark dimension. My aim is to create small stories out of the snapshots I gather from the world around me. These photographs are not staged, but are chance happenings: a little out of the ordinary, somewhat removed from reality. I like […]
An Inner Touch
Impressions from the Interior was the first exhibition of work in the U.K. by Swiss artists Andres Lutz and Anders Guggisberg. Consisting of video, painting, installation, and sculptural pieces, made since these two artists began their partnership in 1996, the exhibit was a judicious survey including spectacular new work. Epitomizing Lutz and Guggisberg’s funny melancholy […]
A Narrative Gesture
My main focus through my work is to explore what constitutes the universal. This translates to repeating motifs that are often inspired by myths and spiritual symbols. It also takes root in my process of art making. I am very obsessive; I find myself creating a world through repetition of line and shape. This has […]
The Human Condition
I am a documentary photographer who has spent the last four years photographing the African-American community in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. I have photographed people in their homes, on the street, and in their churches. About two years ago I started to take portraits against a brick wall in Carey Gardens, a housing project […]
Unearthing an Era
Without a doubt, Sculpture Center’s early summer show, Decoys, Complexes, and Triggers: Feminism and Land Art in the 1970s, was an excellent exhibition of under-recognized work by female installation artists and sculptors of that decade. These exemplary artists—Alice Aycock, Mary Miss, and Nancy Holt, to name a few—created large-scale, abstract works of minimalist aesthetic that […]

Order in Chaos
Catherine Y. Hsieh: It’s been a while since you last showed in China. As Beijing 008 is getting ready to open, why did you choose to do an exhibition this year? Why at the same time as the Olympics? Qin Yu-Fen: Dr. Ulrich Bez, CEO of Aston Martin, suggested the opening time for Beijing 008. […]
