Evan Robarts

I like these two scanner drawings made by Evan Robarts in 2010.  Basically the glass was damaged through a drill and an orbital hand sander in the second one into the post. The whole concept is great as both scanners as sculptures and the final monochromatic digital c-prints. I'm curious about to see random stuff scanned using these glasses, is like a drawing sign. Recommend to check out other nice paintings and sculptures by Evan Robarts. See more;

José Dávila

José Dávila takes simple industrial, building materials with appropriated images as his medium to create works that contest the inherent qualities of modern architecture and other constructed spaces.

As Marco Scotini explains "José Dávila's artistic practice ranges from photographs to the construction of architectural models. Each time, he produces a specular duplicate of an actual piece of architecture in which the reproduction stands as a reduced, precarious and defunctionalized but versatile and open model.  

What Dávila does is create a space that portrays the architecture as such, with interventions that refute the intrinsic qualities of the constructed spaces and question the languages that define their credibility: a column that does not support, a false wall, scaffolding that is not needed and architectural models created by circumstance rather than design are some of the elements that recur in the Mexican artist's work."

Jeongmoon Choi

"Jeongmoon Choi works with thread and traces this three-dimensional line directly into volume to create illusions of perspective. The thread is coloured and used to outline or redefine the architecture of the spaces the artist invests. Drawing directly into space with her hand, the artist addresses questions about our environment, as well as about aspects of lodging and the role of nature in our urban spaces.." - Galerie Laurent Mueller. See more;

"The drawings become project or even projection of an imaginary construction that takes form in its environment starting from a line, a thread, which represents the chronological decisions of a progression in space. The transition from a plane to a volume is just as important as the comparison between interior space for living and exterior space for living." - Galerie Laurent Mueller

JUNK JET 6: HERE AND WHERE

Yesterday 12.12.12, Junk Jet launched a new issue, the number 6 titled "Here And Where" it's the second issue published this year (see the previous one here) it runs a limited number of 999 copies. Apart from the great selection of artists, works and essays Junk Jet always publishes, this number comes also  with a sticker and a digital mixtape "Terrorismo Mexicano". As it introduces "Here And Where" — "The global is but the local on world tour. On this tour the local is not preserving identity – be that cultural, political, or social, but it is (re-)inventing itself, as art, activism, or enterprise. The local even aims at becoming a global subject, without knowing what forces – be that swarm, viral, or whatever, this depends on. 

The local is more or less ignorant about the www processes, but it is ready to get itself into anything – be that souvenirs, ruins­, folklorisms, vernaculars, clichés, promises, romanticisms, naturalisms, exotisms. 

Junk Jet N°6 is crazy about things of local time and place, in the form of objects, images, gifs, videos, sounds, architectures, or reflecting texts. Junk Jet comes  with works from your localhost­, or your local wifi kebab­ shop ..." - Junk Jet. See more;

Syn chron by Alba Prat

"Syn chron" is a beautiful collection designed by Alba Prat, a recent graduated in fashion design at the Universität der Künste, Berlin.

"The title of the collection Syn chron derives from synchronization, a common feature of the works of the German artist Carsten Nicolai. My collection is inspired by them. Known for his aesthetics of precision, his work lies at the intersection of art and science. He unites both fields together in form of sculpture, light and sound installations creating a minimal, cold and technical atmosphere.

My approach to Carsten Nicolai is through his visualizations of sound phenomena. The questioning of what is heard and what is seen is a recurring subject in his art. It is a play between the visible and the invisible where scientific methods of measurements of the laboratory are turned into visual interpretations. His works are explorations of the organizational principles found in nature. It is a world in which even the largest conceivable amount of chaos is subject to order." - Alba Prat. See more;

"Clothes are a barrier between the body and the environment, a layer that protects and covers the body. In order to make this layer more transparent, I have exposed something personal and natural from my inside. I have recorded my heartbeat in two different situations and used special software to visualize it in distinctive abstract forms, which are the basis of my prints. These define the two moods of my collection. One is more elegant and calm and the other is rather sportive and bright. The recording for the first print took place in a quiet situation. Through the graphic representation of its spectrogram I created the luminous digital print. For the other, I recorded my heartbeat directly after doing exercise. The transformation of the audio file into bits, the most basic digital data, is used to create the jacquard pattern." - Alba Prat.
