BERLIN Hamburger Bahnhof Here, immersed deep within Hosnedlová’s sculptural imagination, and despite the dystopian undertones, the environment feels safe enough, and choice still operative.
Cuestión de piel: Una Conversación con Nadia Guthmann
Nadia Guthmann, artista visual y doctora en biología, establece una conexión entre ambos campos, haciendo que los fundamentos sensibles y racionales se entrelacen orgánicamente. Su producción se compone mayoritariamente de esculturas en mallas de metal y ocasionalmente realiza con ellas instalaciones con o sin movimiento, proyectando las sombras en pantallas traslúcidas.
Ann Hamilton
SALTAIRE, U.K. Salts Mill The immensity should, perhaps, be overwhelming, or difficult to deal with, but it is not. Viewers effortlessly enter the fabric of the work, becoming part of its subtle interweaving of time, people, and space, as mind and body are touched by sound, color, and texture.
Object Lessons: Dana Barnes
Entwined grew out of my preoccupation with how nature reasserts itself in abandoned, vacant places. I’m drawn to the way that vines spiral into emptiness, how they fill voids left behind, their tendrils reaching without logic or order.
Perpetual Ungroundedness: A Conversation with Linda Sormin
For 20 years, Linda Sormin has explored fragility, upheaval, migration, survival, and change through ceramic and mixed-media sculptures and site-responsive installations. Her work has always been influenced—at times unwittingly, she says—by her family roots in Thailand, China, and Indonesia.
Thresholds and Traces: A Conversation with Lydia C. Thompson
Lydia C. Thompson’s ceramic and mixed-media sculptures combine architectural form with layered storytelling, exploring the porous, transitional nature of “home” as physical space and social construct. Her hand-built, perforated structures invite reflection on thresholds of movement, vulnerability, and resilience amid gentrification and migration.
Embodied Listening: A Conversation with Marc Vilanova
The work of Spanish visual and sound artist Marc Vilanova occupies the intermediate spaces between art, science, nature, and technology. His sculptures, installations, and performances are designed to “promote active listening to the often-unnoticed voices of the world around us.”
Andy Goldsworthy
EDINBURGH Royal Scottish Academy There’s a tough practicality about his approach, an unromantic ruggedness that recognizes the tensions and everyday realities of the context in which he works.
Liz Larner
NEW YORK Anton Kern Gallery Perhaps Larner is able to better illuminate, by way of cold metal abutments that strike at the core of material and form-based juxtaposition, that which is visually sensuous and apposite for organic-seeming sculptural objects. Indeed, her most pleasing forms are those that appear to be collected from nature and hardly contrived.
Steve Locke
NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS MASS MoCA Locke may be acting as witness, but he is also an artist. The work’s interpretive moment occurs in the neon words, “a dream,” which hover over the list of the dead. Which dream, and who gets to dream this dream?
