Glitches in Reality: A Conversation with Mike Nelson
Mike Nelson, whose practice stretches back to the early 1990s, is best known for hauntingly realistic built environments constructed from salvaged materials and time-soaked objects.

Materialized Nature: A Conversation with Anna Hulačová
Anna Hulačová’s “Bucolica,” currently on view at Kunstraum Dornbirn in Austria, contrasts ancient and modern practices related to the land, fine and folk art techniques, as well as abstract and representational imagery.

Martin Puryear
BOSTON Museum of Fine Arts While Puryear’s forms may hint at the figurative, the language of abstraction has always been his vehicle for structural realizations that transcend any particular artistic style, or easy interpretation.
Moving in the In-Between: A Conversation with Olaf Holzapfel
Olaf Holzapfel’s works bridge sculpture, painting, and architecture, traditional craft and contemporary art, nature and culture, the virtual and the real. Born in Dresden, in former East Germany, the Berlin-based artist has long been interested in borders and boundaries—the purposes they serve (overt or hidden) and how to overcome them.
