Looking at artist Erika Harrsch’s figure, gestures and expressions is much like admiring one of her works of art. Harrsch is 36 years old, red haired and filled with sexual energy. Having received a traditional education in painting, this training is now something that the artist juxtaposes with a more multidisciplinary approach to art-making. Above […]

My fascination is with a smaller world. Maybe it can tell us about something deep inside ourselves, or maybe it just helps me work things out within myself. A focus loosely based on science, on a micro level, can help us to understand our greater thoughts, actions and interactions. An investigation of the thoughts and […]

Qualified in painting and printing by the Fine Arts School of Barcelona, my work has evolved from a pop-punk treatment and subject matter that can be seen ever since my late-80s record cover designs, posters, paintings, prints and comics, to the extremely personal portrait imagery developed in my illustrations for La Vanguardia, Lateral or Quimera […]

I am interested in collecting and collapsing the signals and objects of exclusion, separation and leisure. While restrictive images typically define and reinforce spaces of privilege, through the creation of sites of control, this work examines the breakdown of such over-determinations. I am particularly interested in suggesting speculative configurations, which imagine new social possibilities or […]

Trey Reed: I started painting three years ago when I started working with Chinese calligraphy and stuff like that, stencils too. That’s kind of where I started, I don’t know why, but I’ve always had some fascination with Chinese characters.Ann Wilson: Does that involve Chinese literature as well?TR: Not so much, it’s more just the […]

The artist, raised in Montenegro and schooled in France, gives the viewer fragments to consider—a series of crude geometric shapes, the silhouette of a shitting dog, dead cigarettes ritually piled in an […]

It all started with tape. While in my last term at the Art Center, I became obsessed with an old, weathered spool of tape. It was a yellow ochre and was almost falling off of its cardboard inner tube. It was toxic and unhealthy looking and so I was drawn to using it. This object […]

It’s easy to get trapped in doubt, laziness and a false sense of pride in this fast-paced culture. My work and life are an attempt to be direct and honest with myself, which automatically translates onto the canvas. Picasso said, “I do not seek. I find.” The finding is having confidence in every mark, color […]

Ann Wilson: You’re from New York. Would you call these nature paintings? Jaime Dalglish: I would call them Unitarian paintings. AW: Why? JD: Because it’s my work, and I believe in work, you know? I believe in the work that I create and make available. I also listen to a lot of music, you know? […]

In preparing for any discussion concerning the merits or characteristics of installation-based artworks—their physical and aesthetic properties and their ideological origins—it first seems necessary to elaborate upon the ways in which such works are experienced. This discussion relies upon an understanding of the different experiences encountered through narrative artworks and artworks belonging to a second […]
