Quando se trata do grande cubo branco — expressão usada pelos artistas para definir a galeria — tudo é muito confortável. O espaço destinado a receber obras de arte oferece a segurança de que ninguém vai pisar ali com outra intenção além de contemplar os trabalhos dos artistas. Permite-se um certo grau de ousadia e, às vezes, até uma excentricidade considerada por muitos como maluquice. Foi para questionar exatamente a segurança e o conforto da galeria que um grupo de 10 artistas fez o movimento contrário.

With contemporary graphics layered under the patina of paint, these pieces almost feel like we are peeling back the scales from the antiquated to find that what is hidden beneath is not obsolete, but avant-garde. Heather’s work can be found in private and corporate collections in Canada, The United States, Germany, New Zealand and England. A selection of her paintings is now a part of the permanent art collection at the Canadian Embassy in Ankara, Turkey. I stuff the prescription in my pocket and go into Claudia’s apartment.

Moondog
" Moondog was the pseudonym of Louis Thomas Hardin ( May 26 , 1916 – September 8 , 1999 ), a blind American composer, musician, cosmologist, poet, and inventor of several musical instruments. Although these achievements would have been considered extraordinary for any blind person, Moondog further removed himself from society through his decision to make his home on the streets of New York for approximately twenty of the thirty years he spent in the city. Only in the final decades of Moondog's life did the public begin to appreciate the extent of this man's talents, primarily because of his stubborn refusal to wear anything other than his own home-made clothes, all based on his own (sometimes too singular) interpretation of the Norse god Thor. Indeed, he was known for much of his life as 'The Viking of 6th Avenue'." sourceRebecca Horn - official website
Since the beginning of the 1970s, Rebecca Horn has been creating an oeuvre which constitutes an ever-growing flow of performances, films, sculptures, spatial installations, drawings and photographs. The essence of their imagery comes out of the tremendous precision of the physical and technical functionality she uses to stage her works each time within a particular space. In the first performances, the body-extensions, she explores the equilibrium between body and space. In later works she replaces the human body with kinetic sculptures which take on their own life.

the A-Z enterprise encompasses all aspects of day to day living. home furniture, clothing, food all become the sites of investigation in an ongoing endeavor to better understand human nature and the social construction of needs. The Interlopers HC is a formalization of a loosely knit hiking club that began as The Feral Spaniels in Los Angeles in 1998 for the purpose of pancakehikes in the LA Foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. The smockshop is an artist run enterprise that generates income for artists whose work is either non-commercial, or not yet self sustaining. A smock i a simple double wrap around garment designed by Andrea Zittel - then sewn by artists who reinterpret the original design. As an active testament to Zittel's principle that "rules make us more creative", each resulting smock is completely unique and one of a kind.

Free To Air
Introduction Free to Air is an ongoing series of exhibitions and events, which takes as its starting point Roosevelt’s famous ‘four freedoms’ – freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want and freedom from fear. The project sets out to explore some of the multiple meanings of ‘freedom’ in contemporary society. For 2010, the theme of ‘freedom from want’ will be reflected in a major new commission and a programme of associated screenings and artists’ talks across London.PHOTOGRAPHIE
