An atmosphere of live experience prevailed at this year’s GI Festival.  This is the 5th year of the biennial event and under the direction of Katrina Brown, the festival has expanded to include 130 UK and international artists showcasing work across 50 venues in Glasgow with more than 90% of the work newly commissioned or […]

Since the last century, Malka Architecture has devoted itself to neglected urban spaces and their reappropriation through alternative implantations. Stéphane Malka has recently completed an experimental work entitled Le Petit Paris which proposes dozens of projects around Paris. In this open call to publishers, Malka Architecture offers an exclusive sneak preview of this chronicle of […]

Nadja Sayej: Popularity, to me, should never be the end goal, but the side dish you get along the way (if that). I just got back from dOCUMENTA (13) where people were recognizing me left and right and I thought I should make footage of that, but it was too self-congratulatory. Something I’ve learned about […]

We are modern explorers. We travel the country searching for unwanted, overlooked, and under-appreciated urban spaces. We first observe and analyze the territory and then create site-specific installations in an attempt to engage and communicate with the natives. Making art outside of the gallery gives us the distinct advantage of surprise. Upon seeing our work, […]

At the recent opening of Documenta 13 in Kassel, Germany, perhaps the greatest gathering of the contemporary global art world, a familiar image caught my eye. Not on the wall, but in the postcard racks in the exhibition bookstore, were numerous copies of photos by Del LaGrace Volcano. This ambiguous presentation encapsulates Volcano’s curiously ambiguous […]

The Palais de Tokyo near Trocadero was built for the 1937 International Exposition. A veritable white elephant in the academic “column-beam-slab” style, its 22,000 square feet has a tumultuous history, to say the least: part of the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) until the late 70s, it then served as the Musée d’Art et d’Essai, […]

For the past five years, Art Elysees has brought together over sixty galleries of modern and contemporary art. Housed within two pavilions located on the Champs-Elysées avenue, from the Grand Palais to the Place de laConcorde, Art Elysees promises to transcend the fair’s anticipation and present the highest quality of art during the third weekend […]

Joo applies this highly reflexive paint like a defiant Abstract Expressionist confronting his oppressors. The paint is at once a motif of socio-politicised territoriality; an issue of political divides and boundaries that become physical. It also serves a conceptually multifaceted purpose as the paint works to tie space together—even the face of the shields to […]

GP: I’m not sure if art (and I speak of visual art) has much of an impact on the non- art person these days. And yet the irony is that the art world is bigger than ever! I see the young more influenced by video games than art. But art is there for anyone who wants to look and […]

All The Boys and Girls brings together the work of Ben Alper and Judith Shimer in an intimate meditation on the passage of time and the passing of us, an exploration of the way in which we fulfill our desire to capture and thereby preserve our own fleeting experiences with visual records that offer us […]
