Adrian Villa Rojas



I was lucky enough to go and see his last exhibition at the serpentine gallery, it has been a great inspiration. Inside of the space I would feel 'home', which is a very hard sensation to get in the middle of London, where it seems time never stops. In this exhibition it was not only about the pieces that where shown, but the atmosphere he was able to create through the cracking grey clay and the brick wall, which was not attached with concrete and would make a rattling, although pleasant noise.





Here is an interview of him about the serpentine gallery exhibition:

Wow... 
Rewind
Rewind is a digital clock collection designed to revive a physical link with the reading of the time that has become pervasive and unconscious since the digital revolution. While the movements relative to the reading of time are now gone, each clock offers a unique way to rewind its mechanism. When nowadays the gesture of interaction is minimized to touch, they propose to give it a more physical dimension by playing with recharge or energy release and either to rewind the clock to display the time, or to go back in time with the nostalgia evoked by the type of interaction. Their codes, drawing on childhood memories, transform what was once seen as a task into a fun activity.

you may see the video on the link below. It's amazing.

Lyonel Feininger

Lyonel Feininger


I was lucky to discover this artist at the Bauhaus, looking in between books. When looking through the process of his work, I did find interesting his paintings, but what made the connection to his art was the special way he used the Bahaus space with light, and transmitting it through photography. 
Many know Lyonel Feininger as an accomplished painter, printmaker, and caricaturist whose work is forever linked to the Bauhaus movement. He was Walter Gropius’s first faculty appointment to the Weimar art school in 1919, and he helped shape an artistic movement that would influence artists for decades to come.
Lyonel’s early work includes moody nighttime shots of the Bauhaus building and the surrounding area. His photographs were not publicly exhibited because of the objections of his wife, who encouraged him to promote his career as a painter instead.





What made his work so special for me was the simplicity of the combination of the light and architecture.

Timothy Goodman & Jessica Walsh

Timothy Goodman & Jessica Walsh


Two separate artist join to analyse one of the main personal issues....dating? They describe it as an art piece as well as experimenting about relationships.





Things that I liked while reading about their project:
''I’ve tried to encourage her to have some fun, date around, and let go of the expectations.''
''Why can’t you commit?I’m a big fan of Winnie-the-Pooh. There’s a quote where Owl says, “A girl sees what she likes, a boy likes what he sees.”Why can’t you commit?I’m a big fan of Winnie-the-Pooh. There’s a quote where Owl says, “A girl sees what she likes, a boy likes what he sees.” ''

At the same time they are both two very successful artist which have their place at the art world in NY. They both work in the graphic design section, (Jessica Walsh) sagmeisterwalsh.com and (Timothy Goodman) tgoodman.com, which a specially liked.
Timothy Goodman did his own project before about the reaction through tweeter with the other people on the day of San Valentines. He dedicated cards to the sigle people that followed him on tweeter. Brilliant! You may see his project at: http://valentinetweetmarathon.com/

Hope you enjoyed! Cause I did!

Douglas Gordon

Douglas Gordon


It was last weekend when I was able to discover Douglas Gordon's film. It was the film of 'Play dead' that attracted me at first. It was after the poetic relation between them that I admired. Hope you enjoy!

DANAE FALLIERS

DANAE FALLIERS

If I was curator Falliers' s work would be one of my photography choices, the way that he uses the speed to make an abstract image from a real view, while even making the colours and the focus of the picture run through our view.
''A blur of colour shoots across your field of vision. Swathes of wildflowers create a striped landscape, beckoning, taunting, haunting. In contrast, the sky threatens to open and pour forth its rage. The latest works in Danae Falliers' Wildflower series are striking images that border on the abstract and delight with their intensity.''

Callum Cooper

Callum Cooper



Callum Cooper is an artist that experiments and shows different points of view from the camera  playing with the effects, by giving us a range of perspectives. Its not only the camera but at the same time he does interesting structures which seem like sculptures to go a step further.

Massoud Hassani

Massoud Hassani

If I was curator I, Massoud Hassani' s work would interest me, as he is making art at the same time of resolving a mayor problem. The piece is at the same time aesthetically attractive as well as economic...



Here is another interesting video about the project:https://vimeo.com/51887079

Olivia Albanell

Olivia Albanell


 


If I was curator Olivia's work would be one of my targets. Her way of working with the drawings, it seems they are just a simple illustration, but through them you may see so many other things. In my opinion what makes them stand out it's there originality, being able to look at her work from different views. When analysing her pieces you may find sweet scenes done in a rough way and viceversa, which it is the main magic around it.

Here are some more drawings, which I chose as my favorite ones:

Antonio Cartagena

Antonio Cartagena


If I was curator I would chose Antonio Cartegena, he transforms art into realty, showing the back part of the trunks from a bridge, demonstrating a large reality in many places around the world. The perspective of the photographs demonstrate the point of view perfectly.

DAVID SHRIGLEY

David Shrigley






If I was curator, I would without a daut use David Shrigley' s work. I feel his work talkes clear in a very humours and intelligent way. He is able to play with simplicity and transform it into something which is as complex as simple. 

My favourite one is his animation of 'Who I am and what I want':
It is a natural and transparent view of life which I think we many feel.

'New Friends':
'What the hell are you doing':
