Paul Kooiker Photographs Typical Clichés In A New Light

Steph Wade — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 10:00:38 +0000

Dutch photographer Paul Kooiker’s print publication Eggs And Rarities is a categorical examination of photographic clichés such as nudes, landscapes, and still lifes, taken with a voyeuristic and mysterious lens.

The series is drawn together from archived and unpublished work created over a period of ten years, representing his “encyclopaedia of life”. Eggs and Rarities plays on the curious relationship often noted in photography between photographer, subject, and viewer. The title for the series is a play on the term, “B sides and rarities”, the broad name given to the second side of many different vinyls created by musicians. In this case, it alludes to the broad but ironic nature of Kooiker’s photographs. When taking in the imagery, what at first appears familiar, soon afterwards becomes obscure. In what context are these images taken? Which ones are private and which are public? In what ways do they intersect? The answers, it seems, are for the viewer to discover. And the result of this work shows how the complexity of all clichés converge. You can purchase Eggs And Rarities here.

Clementine Keith-Roach Creates Anthropomorphic Vases

Rosie Flanagan — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 13:00:53 +0000

Whilst living in Athens, artist Clementine Keith-Roach encountered a unique number of anthropomorphic vases—these inspired her to work with clay and casting, creating urns that explore the female form.

Urns, with curves that seem to declare them feminine, are rendered dually so in the work of Keith-Roach. These works are created using a unique combination of methods; Keith-Roach moulding her own breasts and those of women close to her, and then transferring the plaster cast busts onto clay vessels. Each of the strangely anthropomorphic vases is a unique study of the female body and experience; merging subject and object in a way that feels personal and political. Despite gradual movement towards equality, in the 21st century, a woman’s body is still not her own. Rarely would one see a woman’s breasts illustrated with such physicality, the trompe l’oeil effects employed by Keith-Roach have rendered breasts visible on platforms like Instagram, where real female nipples would usually find themselves banned for simply existing.

Strange Plants III: Exploring Regrowth To Honor Ren Hang

Rosie Flanagan — Fri, 29 Jun 2018 07:00:34 +0000

Exploring plants through the prism of contemporary art, Strange Plants iii is the third in a series of beautifully designed botanical books published by the independent publishing house, Zioxla.

Through three sections—‘Pollination’, ‘Petals’, and ‘Regrowth’ (an ode to Ren Hang, whose work featured in Strange Plants ii)—the volume explores the literal and symbolic use of plants by artists. With the work of fifty creatives featured, the publication features luminous cactus, abstracted still lifes, and nudes silhouetted against the moss-clad lava fields. It is a rumination on nature, and our relationship to it: are we alien to the landscape, or are we organic matter—just like plants?

Strange Plants iii is available for purchase here.
