Bruce Nauman: One Hundred Fish Fountatin
Bruce Nauman: One Hundred Fish Fountatin
08/08/2012The Gagosian Gallery is currently home to One Hundred Fish Fountain, a large scale sculpture by Bruce Nauman. Since the 1960s, Nauman's convention-challenging approach to an array of disciplines has seen him produce new methodologies for making art and meaning. Recurring themes in his work include body and selfhood, the role of language, spatial awareness and the relationship between artistic process and viewer participation.

Dr. Romanelli Interview
Dr Romanelli is a name synonymous with reworking something classic and applying something unique to define it. No matter if it is vintage clothing, art, whatever the medium is the outcome is one to appreciate. Having worked with the likes of Nike, Converse, SOPHNET., Medicom Toy, each project Dr Romanelli works on is defined by the genuine individual who is dedicated and humble creates something to appreciate on many levels. I sat down with the doctor recently while the talented Clement Pascal captured the man in his office.

Barbara Kruger: BELIEF+DOUBT
06/08/2012Bold graphics and towering text printed on vinyl occupy the lower-level lobby of the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum in a confronting colour scheme of red, white and black. The installation is “Belief+Doubt” by internationally renowned artist Barbara Kruger. Commissioned as a long-term piece, the site-specific work explores themes of power, money and faith, challenging viewers to do the same while resisting the temptations of ideological certainty.

The collaboration between the two started with illustrating books and magazines during their BA in communication design - a partnership that continued to flourish while the pair developed an eye for product design on the IM masters course at Design Academy Eindhoven, where they graduated in July 2009 with a thesis based on traditional Sicilian folk craft.

Juergen Teller: The Master
Juergen Teller: The Master
04/08/2012In 2005, Steidl published a small booklet of Juergen Teller's work, titled, The Master. The publication offered an examination of his world and persona as a photographer with a mix of fashion and commissioned work, and has since become a benchmark in small book and zine design. Quickly going out of print, The Master II was published, and following that, The Master III, beginning a series of brilliant, affordable books, that will no doubt continue to be produced.
