Suspended States: A Conversation with Camille Norment
Camille Norment shapes sound in relation to time, space, and the human body. Her work, which embraces sculpture, architecture, and history, explores sonic and social dissonance—as well as harmony—through her notion of cultural psychoacoustics, which includes the investigation of sound as a force over cultures, societies, and minds, as well as human and non-human bodies.
Colors in Motion: A Conversation with Daniel Buren
Comme tombées du ciel, les couleurs in situ et en mouvement (As if fallen from the sky, the colors in situ and in motion), Daniel Buren’s spectacular color and light intervention at the Liège-Guillemins train station in Belgium, takes a precise approach to the notion of “as-is,” minimally altering yet radically transforming what already exists.
Sound Has Form: A Conversation with Oliver Beer
Acoustic resonance—the production of sound through vibrations—is a key material in Oliver Beer’s eclectic practice. His sculptures, installations, and immersive performances release the resonant voices natural to every space, every hollow object.
Translating the Intangible: A Conversation with kelli rae adams
kelli rae adams examines invisible and intangible subject matter—invisible labor, care, and money. Trying to get at things we can’t otherwise grasp is the common thread running through her work. In many ways, the consideration of food, as labor and sustenance as well as art material, has played an important role in her very particular, and personal, approach.
Sonic Objects: A Conversation with Tarek Atoui
Most people find the sound of a dripping faucet irritating. But Tarek Atoui, a multimedia visual artist and musician, hears the water drip as one tiny note orchestrating the music of the spheres.
Henry Jackson-Spieker
SEATTLE MadArt Jackson-Spieker creates visual blind spots and distortions that he hopes act as a metaphor for the things we don’t see or question in our everyday surroundings.
“Hurly-burly”: Phyllida Barlow, Rachel Whiteread, Alison Wilding
PARIS Gagosian Karsten Schubert, Wilding’s late gallerist, affectionately dubbed the trio of English artists “the three witches,” and this exhibition fittingly recalls the tumultuous “hurly-burly” they navigated during what was, back in the day, a particularly capricious and fickle male-dominated art world.
Markus Copper
HELSINKI Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma Informed by personal experience, an interest in performance art, and tragic events, these visually compelling works can physically affect the body and veer into thematic territory that some viewers and critics have found shocking.
