BORDERLINE – PAUL D’HAESE

Posted on 2020-07-27

The northern French coast is marked by history: the Atlantic Wall, the liberation, the refugee camps. With this in mind, the artist investigates, in a non-documentary way, all kinds of interactions: the one between land and sea, solid and turbid, intern and extern, locked up and liberated. Paul D’Haese links these themes to the search for identity, with as an extreme case, the “borderline” personality disorder.
Three years ago, he conceived, for the first time, the idea of exploring this boundary line. Since then, he has been following a route, about 350 km as the crow flies, from Bray-Dunes to Le Havre. He crosses about fifty villages and towns, with his camera, first by car, then by bicycle, and finally on foot.
Borderline follows Winks of Tangency, a project where he only “touched” the surface, the screen, the wall, the border. This time, he perforates the borderline by photographing it.

ERIK MADIGAN HECK – THE GARDEN

Posted on 2020-07-27

The Garden is an ongoing body of work depicting Heck’s wife and two young sons in a variety of richly colourful surroundings. The photographs draw upon Catholic iconography and other mythic pictorial traditions to develop a color-based narrative evocative of spiritual archetypes and the processes of dissolution and rebirth.

The series moves through a singular world, a fairytale in which figures and settings become tableaux for hyper-concentrated tonal arrangements. Images are composited and oversaturated with color to create painterly and surreal compositions in which the familiar and fantastic are merged. Completing its aesthetic fantasy through lavish clothes, gestures of dreamlike poignancy, and an Edenic environment, The Garden expresses the supramundane innocence and spontaneity that art makes possible—a life lived in the direct, immediate experience of beauty.

Opposite – Untitled, The Garden, 2019

I’M HORNY – TOM GILES

Posted on 2020-07-21

“In his new book I’M HORNY, TOM GILES has been documenting the sexual hysteria that has gripped the nations. Working with photographer Adriana Roslin, the photographic book contains submissions from over 35 creatives across every medium, exploring each artist’s own horny isolation experience. Whether alone, with friends, lovers, boyfriends and girlfriends or more, what Giles hopes to achieve is to ‘dismantle some taboos surrounding things we think we should keep secret: texts, photos, searches, thoughts and actions in pursuit of fulfilling these desires in a safe, consenting, responsible way.'”

Release for order, 3rd August 2020.

JONATHAN BLAUSTEIN – EXTINCTION PARTY

Posted on 2020-07-20

Since 2008, at the onset of the Great Recession, photographer and conceptual artist Jonathan Blaustein has been working on art projects that investigate consumption in America, and he brings them together in one narrative in this first book, Extinction Party. In an unprecedented time of the Covid-19 pandemic, Extinction Party was (coincidentally and appropriately) released in March 2020. With the photo essay- the images and titles, forward essay by Kevin Kwan, and the metaphorical story in between, the book could not be a more timely commentary on the state of our Earth and humanity.

Opposite – From the series “The Value of a Dollar”

Exhibition runs through to August 29th, 2020
