"before i die..."

installation on an abandoned house in new orleans. chang utilized the house as a medium to immerse the residents of the area in a space that allows them to share their hopes and aspirations. in turn, the community will be able to learn more about what dreams the people that surround them embody. the piece is located in the marginy in new orleans. chang is currently working on expanding the project.

carlos cruz diez

exhibiting now at the museum of fine art in houston. highly recommend checking out this show. (spectacular).

diez's reflection on art has expanded our ideas about color to the point where today we can understand that perceptions of chromatic phenomena do not necessarily have to be associated with form. he conceived his proposition by what he qualifies as spatial structures, “chromostructure” or media for chromatic events, giving origin to what we know as “physichromie,” “transchromie,” “induction chromatique,” “couleur additive” and “chromosaturation.” these are the focus of all his research and works — works in which he shows that color, when it interacts with the observer, is transformed into an autonomous event capable of invading space without the aid of form, without narrative or symbols.

sabine tress

as much as music is able to create a mood and complete a space, sabine´s paintings seems to do exactly the same. colour seems to be omnipresent and traces of former painting processes are visible on the studio floor. it´s like a big “colour-symphonie” in which the paint-pots represent the instruments and the colours stand for the sounds and melodies. -marion hetzel

peter van stralen

netherlands photographer, peter van stralen holds a keen for female dancers- he is inspired by their potent balance of grace and power. in his latest work 'odd bodies' he captures the nude female body in a way so unfamiliar- it is neither crude nor erotic. rather, abstract and beautiful.
