SENSITIVE FREQUENCIES

Tuesday, April 24, 2012

This tank – the German word is Panzer – was built by Berlin-based sound artist Nik Nowak, has a power of 40,000 watt and 13 built-in speakers. But don’t expect techno – Nowak wants to be more violent than that and succeeds to make you feel some strong physical reactions with very low frequencies.

TRACES OF PIECE AND WHOLE

Monday, April 23, 2012

Traces made by the body. Color added as a mark to black and white. Helena Almeida’s materials are usually her body and Yves Klein Blue. The artist’s works give the impression of  being pieces of one gigantic piece of work. An aesthetic generated by fragments − first mentioned by French poet Baudelaire in the 19th [...]

Peter Land. Springtime

Tuesday, April 17, 2012

Peter Land’s (born 1966) solo exhibition in the Seitenlichtsaal of the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf owes its title to the Danish artist’s eponymous installation: Springtime (2010) is a large pile of bricks from which an arm protrudes.
