altblog – Lena Amuat et Zoë MeyerLena Amuat et Zoë Meyer interrogent l’influence des processus esthétiques sur la production des savoirs. Entamant en 2009, sous le nom d’Artefacts and Models, un travail de collecte photographique qui emprunte au registre encyclopédique, elles développent un système d’archives personnelles toujours augmentées, de l’ordre du substrat culturel, où se mêlent moulages antiques, artefacts ethnologiques, objets cultuels, modèles scientifiques ou encore pédagogiques.

altblog - PutPut

PUTPUT est un collectif artistique interdisciplinaire formé de Stefan Friedli et Ulrik Martin Larsen, basé à Copenhague. La rencontre de ces deux artistes, issus du design et de la mode, les amène à concevoir un univers à l’intersection de la photographie contemporaine, de la sculpture et du design. Leur oeuvres, constructions surréalistes et décalées, interrogent notre perception de la réalité et invitent à porter un nouveau regard sur notre environnement immédiat.

PAYSAGE AVEC LARGE RIVIÈRE, PARTIE 2

Filed under: Art contemporain, Peinture - Illustration, Photographie | Tags: , |

altblog – Jagna Ciuchta – Florence LoewyChacune des expositions de Jagna Ciuchta est une intervention in situ qui interroge l’inscription de ses œuvres dans un environnement réel. Pour cette exposition l’artiste emprunte à l’identité du lieu ses références et recrée au sein de la galerie une sculpture hybride, inspirée des étagères conçues par les architectes Jacob+MacFarlane, à la fois œuvre et support de ses œuvres. En ré-interprétant les formes existantes du lieu avoisinant elle fait courir à l’œuvre le risque, absurde, de se confondre avec son référent. Pourtant, l’œuvre de Jagna Ciuchta se déploie dans une toute autre dimension. L’artiste tisse des liens entre passé et présent, l’histoire et son histoire et entrelace les supports et les mediums, sapant ainsi tout cloisonnement des catégories esthétiques, temporelles et spatiales. Second volet de cette exposition in progress : une autre variation, un nouveau relief.

OUR NEW BOOK LAUNCH !

Filed under: Art contemporain, Photographie | Tags: , |

alteditions - Nicolas Lamas - 01

Four years after Pediluve, we have the pleasure to publish our new book during Art Brussels: Nicolás LamasBlind Gestures project.

Blind gestures, the newest photographic project of Belgium based peruvian artist Nicolás Lamas, gathers 25 images scanned from dormant IPad screens. Each scan registers the marks, scratches, fingerprints and dust indefinitely accumulated on the screen surface.

In the process of gathering these images, Lamas establishes an unusual relationship between two electronic devices, using the scanner as photographic tool to « expose » the information that constantly changes and focuses on the « action space » of the tablets. The forms that are revealed may seem to be spontaneous, tactile gestures without any criteria; but they are indeed the registered actions of clear logic made to activate various functions of the IPad, when it is turned on.

Each image is unique, unrepeatable and corresponds to a specific moment in the interaction with digital information. Beside each image is the name of the IPad owner, putting emphasis on the close relationship between the tablet and each user, and the traces left by contact with a personal electronic device that translates builds and interconnects a world that is on both sides of the screen.


Very very screen glossy cover – 56 pages
First limited edition of 250 copies
100 copies signed and numbered by Nicolás Lamas.
ISBN: 978-2-9601438-0-5
