SUPERFICIAL HYGIENE

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

altblog – Magali ReusSuperficial Hygiene aims to introduce to the Netherlands a set of practices of a younger generation of artists who employ, adapt, and corrupt the grammar of our accelerated environment to propose a new understanding of the relation between the mediated image and text, and objects and the physical body. The most recent developments in image production allow for a new kind of realism, one, which has caused a further rift between objects and their representation. As a result, our physical relationship with images and things in our daily environment is changing.

THE VALUE OF VOID

Navid Nuur creates sculptures, installations and text works which often make use of the “aura” of a particular material. For instance, he produces a sculpture out of melting ice lollies just as easily as from blocks of Oasis polystyrene foam. In a nimble and poetic manner Nuur investigates the soul of the things that surround us.
