PETER LAND. Hasty departure
Recording acts and, above all, their repetition, is a constant concern in the work of Peter Land (Aarhus, Denmark, 1966) by which the artist explores the basic conditions of existence and attempts to find sense in acts that appear senseless. The artist makes his recordings in strange, often grotesque situations, caricatured or taken to extremes […]
THORSTEN GOLDBERG. Things are generally different behind closed doors
The work of Thorsten Goldberg (Dinslaken, Germany, 1960) is characterised by minute detail, discipline and meticulous execution. Taking everyday points of reference, he produces comments that are light-hearted only in appearance, for underneath they are criticisms and precise observations of our times. His videos and installations often make use of ordinary bits and pieces transformed […]
JOOST CONIJN. Two Films
The work of Joost Conijn ( Amsterdam, 1971) starts from a fascination with alternative ways of living and cultures different from Western culture. His journeys, often linked to a will to carry out projects that seem totally impossible, trigger unexpected situations, ingenious solutions and enriching exchanges. As the artist himself explains, “an essential element is […]

SUMI MARO. Masterpieces

In his gigantic enterprises he faithfully copies works that are milestones in the collective memory, making subtle additions that bring their points of reference and interpretations up to date. This is the case of The Battle of Issus […]
FRANCESC RUIZ. Soy Sauce
The work of Francesc Ruiz ( Barcelona , 1971) explores new narrative models based on what could be called the expanded comic, in which he includes constant references to the city and its wide variety of sub-cultures. He frequently uses drawings of crowds or of multiple scenes in which a lot of action is going […]
SUMI MARO. Masterpieces (ESP)
La minuciosidad es una de las características principales del trabajo de Sumi Maro (Gifu, Japón, 1954). El artista lleva a cabo empresas colosales que le llevan a copiar fielmente obras que se han convertido en hitos de la memoria colectiva, a las cuales agrega sutiles detalles e incorporaciones que actualizan los referentes y su lectura. […]
OBSSESSIONS: ZERO % STANDARD (ENG)
In these increasingly standardised times in which the mass media holds sway, our individual space of action and definition is becoming more and more limited and subject to strict codes. There is only the mirroring of a space for individual presentation, which in fact allows us to act more as consumers than as private persons. […]
