Gregor Schneider
Marienstraße, 2010.
Best known for his architectural manipulations, Gregor Schneider subverts reality to expose an unease with the ordinary. Transforming houses into doppelganger replicas of themselves and transporting entire rooms and buildings from site to site, Schneider revamps domestic interiors, creating a creepy sense of the uncanny in their mundane detail, turning everyday experience into horror.
Kimberly Clark
Kimberly Clark is an art collective founded in Rotterdam in 2005 by Ellemieke Schoenmaker, Josepha de Jong and Iris van Dongen.
Kimberly Clark makes sculptures and installations refering to escapades they stage on the street.
During those actions they create sceneries moving between clumsiness and seriousness, in a complex world in which beautyideals and behaviourcodes define acceptation.

Daniela Di Maro & Roberto Pugliese
Ivy Noise, 2009
Electric wires climb the white walls, following not a casual pattern, but a defined one, after an accurate study of the growth of the ivy. Black lines design organic forms; brances form which unusual flowers blossom: conical speakers of various dimentions. A previously defined soundscape is given forth by some of these peculiar buds which acts as a background to the acoustic improvisation, determined instead by the human presence. Every noise is being captured by a series of microphones and random samples are taken in real time by a custom designed software, and rendered back through the speakers. Voices, steps, movements, nourish the installation. The totally synthetic sound, generated by this technological parasite creates however the illusion of being in a natural environment. A psychoacoustic journey, in which nothing stands still; everything is being transformed in an unstoppable and impromptu process of metamorphism. An experience which through multisensory stimulation creates a relation between man and technology, hypothesizing not only a peaceful coexistence of the two elements, but even an eco-sustainable hybridization, reinforced by the use of recycled materials.
Winkler + Noah
LES FEMMES HÉRÉTIQUES
For Winkler+Noah, photography was the most fitting point of arrival for an artistic itinerary that they began instinctively from childhood, exploring all the forms of expression that they encountered — painting, drawing and sculpture — amalgamating them and trying out blends between different media.
This creative need for self-expression matured over the years, first becoming curiosity and then a strong will to create and to photograph. After a professional detour as an illustrator and graphic designer, Noah met Winkler and this acted as a detonator, producing a mixture fusing traditional photography with experimentation.
What their pictures reveal is a sensation of hyper-reality: the protagonists of their portraits appear in a real context, but they stand out from it as if highlighted by reality itself. They are stark, intense photos because each single picture encloses an idea and conveys powerful emotions to the observer. The artists deal personally with post-production so that the creative process joins up with itself like a circle.
They have received recognition all over the world and their works are been exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, London, Seoul and Milan.

Barry Le Va
Cleaved Wall, 1969-70
Before New York artist Barry Le Va, born 1941 in Long Beach, California, turned to art, he spent the early 1960s studying maths and architecture.
His works are the result of a process of distributing, spilling, scattering, blowing, layering, dropping, throwing or crushing—using common materials like wooden slats, ball bearings, pieces of felt, aluminium bars, viscous oil, flour, powdered chalk, cast concrete and neoprene rubber.

Roger Weiss
I AM FLESH
Human bodies have long been photographed and described. Many have been seen and read about. And every community, through its institutions and leaders, has always espoused certain body-types and shunned others. Showing off the desirable ones, and hiding the undesirable. All those who might be perceived as excessive or upsetting.

“Autocombustion”, 2007

Documentation marks the starting point for his work. Using a slightly scientific way of working, he registers insignificant, incidentatlly grotesque moments that possess an abrupt and unexepted monumentatlity.
Oliver Kosta-Théfaine
Symphony (Detail view of the solo exhibition "W")
Flame of the lighter on ceilling & video documentation, 2009
Born in 1972, Oliver Kosta-Théfaine lives and works in Paris, France. In each of his interventions, Olivier Kosta-Théfaine plays with the codes and clichés of popular culture. He uses the languages and codes of the city and its suburbs, changing or modifying their original meaning so it can be understood by a broader public. His reflection is essentially based in rehabilitating the, often deconsidered, elements that belong to the city. His fascination for the suburbs has switched to a passion that is essential to his everyday work. The city is his muse, the drive for his artistic inspiration. He tries to decipher a discredited world through simple and ironic little mechanisms which he then transposes into galleries. By introducing the language of popular culture into the white cube, Olivier Kosta-Théfaine uses the suburb’s many clichés, plays with the truth and distorts the elements of pop culture.
Claire Fontaine
They Hate Us for Our Freedom
Claire Fontaine is a Paris-based collective artist, founded in 2004. After lifting her name from a popular brand of school notebooks, Claire Fontaine declared herself a "readymade artist" and began to elaborate a version of neo-conceptual art that often looks like other people's work. Working in neon, video, sculpture, painting and text, her practice can be described as an ongoing interrogation of the political impotence and the crisis of singularity that seem to define contemporary art today. But if the artist herself is the subjective equivalent of a urinal or a Brillo box - as displaced, deprived of its use value, and exchangeable as the products she makes - there is always the possibility of what she calls the "human strike." Claire Fontaine uses her freshness and youth to make herself a whatever-singularity and an existential terrorist in search of subjective emancipation. She grows up among the ruins of the notion of authorship, experimenting with collective protocols of production, détournements, and the production of various devices for the sharing of intellectual and private property.
Theo Mercier
The multi-disciplinarian Theo Mercier is an artist, a sculptor, a painter, and a photographer. He uses his work to transmit the ironic magic of simple things revealing the aura living inside of them. An element that absolutely must exist within his art is humor. He is also attracted by the extremely rich and dense topics of sex and death. “I like talking about death with a rotten cabbage and a missing tooth and to deal with sex with eggs and dirty socks. I like to inject those notions into objects that have nothing to do with sex or death, using, for instance, an innocent tea pot.” Said Mercier.

Ken-Ichi Murata
Born in 1957 in the city of Osaka, Japan, photographer Ken-Ichi Murata still lives and works there.His art is a sensational new discovery.
The pretty Japanese girls in his hand-colored black-and-white photographs transport us into the erotic fantasy worlds of a Japanese artist who is inspired by thousand-year-old traditions and sexual rites.
Murata enchants us with nymph-like princesses and half-nude girls in kimonos. Here are stimulating role play and exotic charm in their purest form.
Murata began displaying his art photography at a public exhibition in Tokyo in 1996. It was a huge success and was the first glimpse the work got into the amazing dream world of this most amazing artist.
