ARI MARCOPOULOS - ENTROPY
Written by Ari Marcopoulos
Ari Marcopoulos was born in Amsterdam in 1957 and moved to New York in 1980, at the height of the city’s art scene. An artist, filmmaker, and photographer, his body of work includes portraits, street scenes, and landscapes from places as diverse as Tokyo, Lebanon, New Orleans, Brooklyn, and the California coast. His subjects have been musicians, celebrities, artists, and friends, as well as the anonymous denizens of the boroughs he has wandered. His images are saturated with movement and transformation, with outsiders, the underground, and the periphery, with discontinuities and amnesia.Mahfuz Sultan in this book: "In 2017, while preparing for an exhibition titled 'Machine', he tried to make sense of all the through lines in his work. He struggled with the endless multiplication of images and the widespread appropriation of his style by amateurs and advertisers.
CHRISTOPH NUESSLI- GOOGLY EYES
Googly eyes' is an inventory of fried eggs on Deli store fronts in Brooklyn. Through re-photographing these food replicas and cutting up texts Nüssli explores a fast changing neighbourhood, while trying to understand current American politics and consumer culture without loosing his humor. ?Stick with us. Don't believe the crap you see from these people.
RUUD VAN EMPEL - MAKING NATURE
Written by Han Steenbruggen
The distinctive style of photographer and visual artist Ruud van Empel has evolved through an ongoing exploration of the tension between the camera and digital technology. He digitally dissects and reconstructs hundreds of diverse fragments taken from his own photographs to create synthesised, hybrid works that portray dreamlike scenes and natural utopias. Following in the romantic tradition, Van Empels stylised collages seek beauty, serenity, and the sublime; a subjective experience of the natural world fuelled by a disenchantment with our contemporary reality.Fotograaf en beeldend kunstenaar Ruud van Empel (1958) heeft wereldfaam verworven met zijn fictieve kinderportretten in paradijselijke omgevingen. In zijn recente natuurwerken is de enscenering nog uitbundiger geworden.0Het past in een romantische traditie - idyllisch, idealistisch, misschien zelfs sentimenteel - maar er wringt ook iets.
