NATHALIE DJURBERG (w/ music by HANS BERG) @ CAMDEN ARTS CENTRE

‘A World of Glass ‘ is Nathalie Djurberg’s new exhibition at the Camden Arts Centre, which consist of brilliant and beautifully displayed glass-like objects and four synchronised animated (claymation) films that are both wonderful and disturbing, complete with great soundtrack by Hans Berg.

‘The crude materiality of the animations seems playful but the scenarios enacted are often disturbing, uncovering taboos or difficult aspects of the human condition such as vulnerability, desire and suffering.’ – Camden Arts Centre

faded reality

Inspiring work by Paul Graham, which is now being exhibited at the Whitechapel Gallery until 19 June. I especially love his American Night series, which includes the three images above. The washed-out images have been cleverly printed, giving the viewers a sense of gloominess. It also seems to inform the viewers that the reality is fading. If you look closely, you will notice that the locations are deserted, with the exception of one person, presenting its depressing mood in a post-apocalyptic kind of way.

Damián Ortega: The Independent

Immigrant Song (30 August 2010) - Damian Ortega

Head to the Barbican Centre to see Damian Ortega’s new works for The Curve. Interestingly conceptual, the artist created new works in response to aspects of daily news (for a 30-day period from 20 August through to 27 September 2010). His sculptures were accompanied by newspaper articles (pinned to the wall), which he used as inspirations . The free exhibition is open until 16 January (2011).
