Eva Grubinger
Eva Grubinger (born 1970 in Salzburg) is an Austrian sculptor and installation artist. Life Between 1989 and 1995 Grubinger studied at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin where she worked with Valie Export and Katharina Sieverding. Her graduation project, ''C@C, or Computer Aided Curating'' (1993–95), provided a branching interface for visitors to explore a social network of artists. While Grubinger began her career with works that reflected and commented, in a pioneering manner, on the early development of the Internet, since the mid-1990s she has worked primarily in sculpture and installation. These phases are not, however, disconnected: her latter-day focus on materiality and space, not least social space and how it subliminally affects us, might be seen as a reaction to the immateriality of the online world. Grubinger's method is primarily to focus on, and unsettle via various strategies, recognizable objects. Her scope in this regard is wide: she draws inspiration and ic ...

Her installation ''Extramission 6 (Black Maria)'' was included in Nicolas Bourriaud's Tate Triennial, ' Altermodern' in 2009. She was recently awarded the Derek Jarman Award with a commission of four short films for Channel 4; the Paul Hamlyn Award in 2010 and the Sharjah Art Foundation Award in 2012. She is represented by Matt's Gallery, London. Seers is associated with a genre defined by Mike Brennan as Neo-Narration. Nicolas Bourriaud in his book Altermodern (Tate Triennial 2009) describes her work as ‘ceaselessly re-editing the documentary of her life as a migrant woman in modern day Britain’, although in fact her works use biography more widely as a locus for a complex intertwining of events. Early life Seers was born in 1966 in Mauritius into a naval family. Seers didn't speak until she was seven years old after the family's departure from the island. During this time her mother claims her dau ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anne Hardy
Anne Hardy (born 1970) is a British artist. Her art practice spans photography, sculptural installation and audio. She completed an MA in photography at the Royal College of Art in 2000, having graduated from Cheltenham School of Art in 1993 with a degree in painting. Hardy lives and works in London. Work In her sculptural installation work Hardy constructs environments that hover between depiction and abstraction. Staging our encounters with these spaces through careful composition of physical and audio landscapes and precisely controlled perspectives, she immerses us in spaces that are at once functional and illusory. Hardy used to destroy the structures that she made. They were built in her studio, photographed and then discarded. These photographs of structures made in her studio were carefully constructed sets, sculptural assemblages of found objects and hand made marks. The materials she uses are often objects or Scrap, junk which she has found in market (place), market ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
New Contemporaries
New Contemporaries is an organisation in the UK that works to support emerging artists at the beginning of their careers by introducing them to the visual arts sector and to the public through a variety of platforms, including an annual exhibition.

For the annual exhibition, artists are invited to submit a portfolio of work, from which a selection is made by a panel of judges. The selection is made by artists and writers, and often the selector will have previously been exhibited in a New Contemporaries show. Founded in 1949 as the "Young Contemporaries", the exhibition has run annually as a means to provide an impartial and democratic stepping stone from arts education to the professional art sector. Established hierarchies that might otherwise become set within the art school system are able to be ass ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
