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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

It’s easy to think of mankind and nature when coming face to face with the work of artist Jackie Sleper, who is based in Utrecht, the Netherlands. For in every work of art that she creates, be it a painting, a photograph, or one of her intricate jewel-like sculptures, no matter what the subject matter […]

She is a white collar (toplofty looking and designer-clad), sometimes dazed, suffering from paranoid schizophrenia; she is a part-time prostitute, a masturbator, addicted to both cheap and expensive drugs, both with the same overwhelming pull; she has a love for pistols (dummy ones, of course), a wild imagination, which is actually her subconscious desire to […]

This can’t be a group of hills! From a distance, they look more like mushrooms or fungi sprouting up in the grass following a spring rain. Seen from high up, they look like a group of mollusks, spread out in idle conversation. Fungi never stop evolving; man never ceases to alienate himself from others; space […]
