Luka Fineisen: Bubbles

LF_BubblesBfromdavids

The work of artist Luka Fineisen seems like it may exist for only a moment. Giant bubbles are scattered throughout the gallery floor. The size of the bubbles are contrasted by their seeming fragility. Fineisen in this way freezes a tense moment, stretching a delicate life long enough for close inspection. The gallery’s reflection on each bubble reminds the viewer of the delicate and temporal

Mary Ellen Johnson has created a series of dessert paintings. The realism of her work is impressive. Upon first glance, the images appear to be photographs; closer inspection, however, reveals that these works are indeed paintings. The artist’s touch is so light and supple that brushstrokes are impossible to find. In fact, there are few hints of the artist’s work at all.

The appearance of the gallery from outside is distinctive with soft grey colours and no decoration or windows. Waiting at the entrance for the

Anders Krisár: Visions Of A Missing Double

2-Anders-Krisar-christian-larsen-yatzer

This is touching. An exhausted phrase, perhaps, though to be touched is what we want, possibly more than ever. But what does it mean to be touched? At the very least, along the porous lines of the seen, felt, and heard, to be touched is to encounter the trace of an Other, either face-to-face or along the course of centuries. When registered, being touched can

“You are the fiery life of divine substance, you blaze above the beauty of the fields, you shine in the waters, you burn in sun, moon and stars.” — Hildegard Von Bingen “In archetypal symbolism, clothing represents persona, a kind of camouflage which lets others know only what we wish them to know about us and nothing more. We are often “clothed” in our own
