A Tension

Magnus Thierfelder works with installations, simple forms and frequently with industrially produced materials like drain pipes or electric cables, materials that relate to the surrounding space, redefine it and create different spatial sensations. In style and content Thierfelder uses in his drawings a reductionist method. The objects and motifs are simplified in an ingenious manner making one believe that one can still recognize the context.

Sarah Oppenheimer

Sarah Oppenheimer opens apertures in existing architectures, modifying the modular units that make up our standardized urban world. These apertures demarcate new lines of sight within the space of display, and can function as both “holes” and “screens.” This effect forces the viewer’s gaze to toggle between object and void. The space of display is transformed from a container for specific objects into a vectored but non-linear series of filmic views.

Perrine Lievens

Lievens works with objects that we know from our familiar surroundings. By sculpturally reworking the objects and reinterpreting their function, she questions established patterns of perception and forces us to rethink the use and function of the objects; they appear to have acquired an additional poetic dimension.

Dead Artists by Benjamin Cottam

Cottam draws and paints. His ‘Dead Artist’ series features portraits of artists who have died since 1950. He draws their portraits in delicate silverpoint; always a small head, isolated and lost, barely the size of a coin, placed in the centre of a sheet of paper. In his drawing style Cottam exhibits a love of detail; he is meticulously exact in the drawing of the portrait so that the viewer tends to recognize the person depicted. 

Every Book by Aspen Mays

With a keen sense of humor, Aspen Mays explores the relationship between scientific investigation and the photographic medium to question what knowledge can be gained through systems of cataloguing, classification and documentation.


 Every book is a series of photographs that document every book about Albert Einstein available through the Illinois Collegiate Inter-Library Loan service. These were then organized by Mays according to the color spectrum to create a series of individual "rainbows" -- referencing Einstein's theories about light and gravity. With these works, Mays asks how the systematic presentation of individual parts affects our understanding of the whole.
