I would like to believe that the title Cai Guo-Qiang: I Want to Believe conveys the spirit of my art, as well as my identity as an artist. As this is a retrospective exhibition, apart from being an overall view of over 20 years of my artistic practice, the works themselves resonate with the title […]

Art is not limited to any particular media. You can use many techniques to express an idea. I use photography because I often have ideas that I think would be lost in the process of painting. I began to like photography when I was young and began creating photographs in March 2006. Many people told […]

As the title suggests, Sites, Routes and Traces is an exhibition concerned with place and the effects of placement. Conceived for the simultaneous staging of three solo positions in a 4000-square-meter gallery space, the exhibition was itself re-sited to Universal Studios’ auxiliary space when it became clear that the main gallery would be under renovation […]

My practice could be viewed as an engagement with the experiential. The decisions made around the work are based in my curiosity surrounding phenomena, how and why things appear. The work is informed by psychology and my sensibility shaped through the uncanny, uncovering the latent and the hidden within the work. Paulette Phillips is a […]

In his diary, a World War I French corporal describes his irritation when it cost his platoon an incredible amount of effort to get their shovels through the bones of corpses while digging trenches. Like this corporal, many people who have experienced the extreme hardships of wartime are no longer capable of processing the misery […]

Spilling white gouache on a smooth surface such as paper, embracing accidents. I work with watercolors in this way. Sometimes I use washable markers and pour water, dripping big drops onto the marker-colored surface. Letting the medium spread as it wishes, I work intuitively. I gather my own pulse and master it. I don’t have […]

Catherine Yu-Shan Hsieh: Last fall you had your first solo show The Girls Show Dostoyevsky the New Darkness at Marvelli Gallery in New York City. How did that feel? How did the audience receive it? Margaux Williamson: It felt ok. Growing up, I saw art mainly in art books, or Laurie Anderson at the hippy […]

I’m a New York-based artist working in video and photography. I started my studies at Marymount Manhattan in film and video, and transferred to the School of Visual Arts to focus on photography, without abandoning my interest in film. I started with black-and-white photography that I often ended up hand coloring and so eventually switched […]

I work in an interdisciplinary manner. My interests in the relationship between identity and place manifest themselves in a body of work that incorporates performance, video, and installations. Fascinated with the power of humor and its capability to grab the attention of a wider audience, I employ a tongue-in-cheek style in my work. However, the […]

“Like the Chapmans and Caine, there is an irreverence and dark humor that runs throughout Lanina’s work. She delivers a punked out, pre-pubescent ‘Boschian’ universe, one for the morally relativistic set.”   Pre-pubescent Bosch Carla Gannis The Mechanical Dolls of Yuliya Lanina were on view at Scope Miami 2007 Yuliya Lanina, Lullaby.
