MATÉRIAUX

Filed under: Art contemporain | Tags: , |

Raphael Hefti a suivi une formation en électronique avant d’étudier l’art, le design et la photographie. Au fait des techniques industrielles, il travaille sur les altérations et les possibles erreurs des procédés mécaniques, en les poussant à leur paroxysme afin que ces altérations initiales se transforment en esthétisme. Ce n’est pas la relation entre l’objet et son image qui l’intéresse mais les propriétés mêmes des matériaux.

Art : Concept, Paris. 28.06.2012 > 28.07.2012.

ESPACIO DE CONTINGENCIA

Filed under: Art contemporain, Photographie, Spectacle, Vidéo – Film | Tags: |

Contingency space is the gradual transformation of a physical space through different elements that are related at different levels of perception, language and meaning. Multiple possibilities of relationship between different information levels are linked in a common area. Through different visual and conceptual approaches connected, Nicolás Lamas has generated a conceptual mapping with differt poetic connections and reconsiderations of the rol of representation systems as constructor of what we know as reality.

More pictures of the process and the final result of the installation on NNM.Studio soon.


CARL PALM SOLO IN BRUSSELS: WE LIKE A HARDBOILED EGG IN THE MORNING BUT DON’T LIKE TO BE 6-8 MINUTES LATE

Filed under: Art contemporain | Tags: , |

Carl Palm works toward an everyday reading of concepts and sculpture independent of text or biography in an underplayed tone so that they finally turn over into psychological settings that activate a state of elevated consciousness in which one understands the careful logic of the works: Titles, acted out concepts, the craftsmanship of handmade chairs and tables, printed matter, sound and light conditions – all balance each other and point at considerable openness, mute but deeply social, to be created always anew. (Cultivatus)

Komplot, Bruxelles. 22.06.2012 > 31.07.2012.
Every Saturday from 14.00 to 18.00 or under appointment.
