Nick Hornby: Sculpture (1504-2013)
In his first solo exhibit in the U.S., British sculptor Nick Hornby takes on the icons of his practice and pulls their works into the present with four new works. At the centre of Churner and Churner, New York, stands the outline of one of the most famous artworks in the world, Michelanglo’s David. The relaxed contrapposto of David – the apotheosis of the grand narrative of human perfectibility – moves to zero, having been extruded to a single point and balanced upright. Half a ton of 150 micron marble dust glued together balances on a tip that hovers just above the ground.

As every second year, since 1895, the Venice Biennale reunites the art elite of the world and those who want to be part of it.

In art class we learned a lot about artists. Gilbert and George inspired us to do our first stop trick video seven years ago.

Licht flutet den Raum in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Dem nussbraunen Klavier an der Wand sieht man sein Alter an. Die Tastenklappe ist geöffnet. Neben sich wild stapelnden Notenblättern auf dem dunklen Holz, einem überfüllten Anspitzer, einigen roten Bleistiften und Radiergummi, lächelnde Gesichter von alten Fotos. Nostalgisch. Tonlos.

I graduated as a Graphic Designer, but my heart lies mainly in Illustration. As my graduation project I’ve backpacked through Scandinavia for one month, and made etchings of the places I’ve felt at home. My theoretical research was therefore about ‘home’, and the impact of ‘place’ and nature. I bought a small amount of vintage lockets, as a talisman to keep home close to your heart.

Read moreWe outsourced everything…
News from L’Atelier-Kunst(spiel)raum: This month the gallery displays a project by Clémence de La Tour du Pin and John Henry Newton, curated by Judith Lavagna. Until the 24th April 2013 you can visit a world of the “inbetween.” The exhibition “We outsourced everything and now we are bored” aims to reach the problematic between online and offline.

When I was a child, I used to collect minerals. I still have a bunch of plastic boxes with mineral samples of every rock I collected at that time. But somehow I’m still fascinated by it all. Mineral collecting is the hobby of systematically collecting, identifying and displaying mineral specimens.
