Berlinde De Bruyckere’s work inhabits a psychological terrain of pathos, tenderness, and unease. Her sculptures express vulnerability and fragility, the suffering body—human and animal—as well as the overwhelming power of nature (and time).
Emotional Structures: A Conversation with Liva Isakson Lundin
Liva Isakson Lundin, who was educated in Stockholm and currently works in New York City, creates environments that respond to their sites with great sensitivity. Her installations and sculptures are inspired by Modernism’s century-long legacy, but their formalism is invested with a searching energy and emotional resonance that are thoroughly contemporary.
Mundane Acts: A Conversation with Oscar Tuazon
Oscar Tuazon works in and out of and between sculpture, architecture, and the meditative spirit. His practice also expands toward activism related to land and water access and infrastructure. Often using architectural techniques and materials, he produces quasi-functional objects, parts or representations of spaces, and constructions that are open to use and appropriation.
Open Books: A Conversation with Jukhee Kwon
Jukhee Kwon, who has been making three-dimensional, paper-based works for over a decade, uses discarded books as her primary material, carefully slicing, cutting, and otherwise manipulating their pages to create a variety of unexpected forms—from intimate, small-scale objects to large-scale installations.
Endless Inventory: A Conversation with Florian Slotawa

Out of the Ocean: A Conversation with Duke Riley
The junk-based sculptures and film installations in “DEATH TO THE LIVING, Long Live Trash,” Duke Riley’s current exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, take aim at the environmental villains, past and present, responsible for the destruction of the world’s oceans.
Mean Functionality: A Conversation with Irina Kirchuk
Irina Kirchuk’s works walk a fine line between abstraction and figuration. The Argentinian artist, who lives and works in Buenos Aires, observes the urban landscape and recovers objects from it, collecting and classifying them, exploring what she calls “their material obsolescence and mean functionality.”
John Henry: One Idea Leads To Another
A life is not a timeline. The supposed linear movement, building one moment adjacent to another, is a false construct. Adding another dimension gives a planar view of bright moments, scattered like diamonds on a field of velvet.
Prohibido Olvidar: Una Conversación con Leo Nuñez
“Exhibo en mis trabajos los contextos económicos y políticos que atraviesan los países de mi región. Desde el espacio llamado de ‘subdesarrollo,’ trabajo la obra tecnológica a partir de los conceptos de las últimas tecnologías pero utilizando materiales territorializados.”
