In the search for anonymous images there is no beginning or end, nor rare images, only incandescent projections which subjugate and instantly become absolutely indispensable. AAnonymes.org is one of the many histories of contemporary photography. AAnonymes.org shows “abandoned” photographs, antiquities of a reality that has ceased to exist in its original state, images which, like […]

Looking at the absurdities and conflicts of living in an urban society in transition of “living 200 years in the past and 30 years in the future” simultaneously, my works broadly address the visual and cultural overlaps of language, image, and taste that create the most fantastic collisions. Looking at this phenomenon with humor, my […]

I cite various art historical and cultural sources in my work. My provocative, large-scale portraits theatrically confront the intersection of contemporary critical theory and global politics by drawing on a personal interest in design, fashion, art history, cultural analysis, philosophy, and psychology. The faces of my transnational, racially and sexually ambiguous characters are densely painted. […]

Born in Huizhou, Canton Province, China in 1935, Yu-Tian Cheu immigrated to the U.S. in 1962 to pursue his dreams of being an artist. He had always been influenced by the history of Western art. Counting Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, and Pollock among his seminal influences, he had always aspired to come to the West to […]

Diana Al-Hadid’s sculptures are like Robert Smithson’s “quiet catastrophes,” moments of disaster and decay frozen in time and space. She builds elaborate, intensely physical, large-scale sculptures of what she has called “impossible architecture” in various states of decline. Depicting forms more historical than contemporary—cathedral spires, classical columns, large pipe organs, and Gothic towers, which are […]

Established in late 2008 by Noah Venezia, a Pratt Institute graduate and practicing designer, Stupendous is a biannual publication currently designed and printed in New York, NY.

The final result is ultimately informed by submissions of its contributors, a […]
