altblog – Kasimir Malevitch
« Voici une dizaine d’années que j’ai entrepris un travail, principalement de peinture, qui s’attache
à démontrer qu’il demeure un usage contemporain possible et valide des formes issues du modernisme historique. Au moyen de figures simples, de procédés élémentaires empruntés tant au vocabulaire abstrait qu’à une réflexion sur le langage héritée de l‘art conceptuel, je m’intéresse à montrer ce qui subsiste au-delà de l’image, ou malgré elle : la pratique et l’énonciation. Autrement dit, littéralement, ce que l’on fait, et ce que l’on dit. »
Nicolas Chardon, 2011

Altblog – Sarah & Charles – Netwerk
In the internationally traveling solo exhibition, An Unbelievable Truth (previously seen at Nest Hague under the title: Moving a brick through water), Sarah & Charles show work from the past two years. A re-interpretation of images and visual language (in-and-of-itself) are central to the exhibition, arising from narrative, fiction and mise-en-scene in the different works discussed.

SIXTEEN WORKS

altblog – Daniel Gustav Cramer
Daniel Gustav Cramer’s exhibition is in its essence a portrait of a landscape, of a man on a road, lost in his thoughts; it’s a portrait of the experience of a single moment. If you take this image as a starting point, the exhibition unfolds and reveals the different faces a journey can have.

BolteLang, Zürich. 24.10.2015 > 28.11.2015.

altblog – Pieter van der Schaaf – Glassbox
«Depuis mon arrivée à Paris, je photographie des pierres sur les chantiers et dans les rues en travaux, particulièrement des pierres sur des palettes. Ce qui m’intéresse, c’est la manière dont elles sont emballées : les palettes et les attaches soulignent l’aspect temporaire de leur présence. Je vois les fragments présentés sur les palettes comme des pièces d’un puzzle, des parties d’une image impossible à reconstituer.» Pieter van der Schaaf

NEW ARRIVALS

altblog – Bruno Zhu – 02

With New Arrivals, Bruno Zhu (Portugal, 1991) remodels the Foam 3h library into another reading room – one that flattens the representation of reading itself. Twisting time and space, both physically and conceptually, the installation juxtaposes visual motifs from the private space into the public and vice versa. This way, Zhu light-heartedly explores his fascination for photography’s ambivalent symbol as surface and object, representation and appropriation.

SET

altblog – Na kim
With a background in graphic design, Na Kim creates expansive work that freely traverses the boundary between fine art and design. By doing away with pre-existing rules and symbolic meanings, Kim studies the essential elements in form, rearranging it based on its geometric standards.

In « SET, » Kim’s work from the past 10 years will be exhibited in one space, and a namesake catalogue will be shown as part of the exhibition. Regardless of production year, medium, commission, etc, the catalogue comprises of design and other works that are reordered according to the visual elements found in each work.

The production and editing of this catalogue is a collaborative effort with graphic designer Joris Kristis. As it is the first time Kim has handed over the designer role to another person, she intends to redefine the notion of the artist and the designer’s role.

Along those lines, the wall and floor space of the exhibition will be divided in a similar proportion as the catalogue’s design, then the works in the catalogue will be made into wall drawing, serving as the set for a performance that will coincide with the visual aspects of Kim’s work.

In this way, Kim’s work brings out the intrinsic distinctions between fine art and design, tearing down the boundaries of process and form. And by expanding into the realm of installation and performance, the artist shows the possibilities of a cohesive and unified body of work. It is these reconstituted and restructured heterogeneous elements that point towards and reveal new meaning and potential.
