Luka Fineisen

It's really inspiring to see the organic forms and textures from Luka Fineisen's works.  Last month of March took place "Phase transitions" a two month solo exhibition at Hosfelt Gallery, NY, where Luka presented ambitious sculptural works that explore moments of becoming, by using different materials for each work such as frost, foam, food, glitter, resin, viscous liquids and molten metal. Luka presented new and previous works, I enjoyed to see how the Organic Matter II generates and makes to flow that organic texture made of water and pigment. See more;

"Phase transitions" is a term used in thermodynamics to describe the shifts between solid, liquid and gaseous states of matter. At a literal level, this is what Fineisen represents in her work - tipping points - the transitional moments when a substance changes from one condition to another. While playing with formal sculptural concerns of modernism and post-minimalism, she explores movement, evanescence and potential.

The work is dichotomous - scientific but sensuous, liquid and solid, monumental and fragile, simultaneously in the process of being created and destroyed. Fineisen is unafraid of creating something delightful, but fascinated by the moment when that allure becomes unnerving. When sensuality becomes dangerous. When attraction turns to repulsion. Fineisen shows us the exact moment when she loses control over her creation and the coinciding love and fear of that instant." - Hosfelt Gallery

The following works are; Organic Matter II, 2010 (metal, plexiglass, water, pigment, submergible pump) - Bubbles, 2012 (plastic) - Enough for All, 2012 (cardboard, cellophane, tape) - Melange I, 2010 (plexiglass, resin)

Matt Hinkley

Stunning forms, patterns and colors created by Matt Hinkley, they were exhibited at Sarah Cottier Gallery in 2010.

Matt Hinkley's drawings and sculptures confound the eye in their meticulous and painstaking delicacy. Almost imperceptible renderings on existing graphics, and obsessively hand-drawn patterns captivate and mesmerise the viewer. In the age of digital reproduction these hand-made pencil drawings and delicate carvings are perversely anachronistic. See more;

Disconnect

"Disconnect is a full-scale installation by Alexandros Tsolakis, Bastian Wibranek and Sebastian Kriegsmann, starts from a simple proposition: more often than not, public space is communally occupied. Despite the immutable forms of architecture, space transforms the moment it’s inhabited; what we do, and what we don’t is spatially inscribed by the simple fact of our engagement. By installing a stretchable membrane across the gallery floor, Disconnect allows visitors to physically register the movements of their co-habitants. As people move over and under the surface, the fabric’s stretch manifests the influence of other bodies as a sensible force. Projected beams of light mark contour lines on the fabric as shifts with movement. Continuing a line of projects initiated by PROGRAM that aim to instill spatial sensitivity, Disconnect similarly seeks to address a wider range of visitors, including the youngest ones." - Program Initiative for Art and Architecture Collaborations.
