I first learned of Duane Michals, like many, in a history of photography course in college. Squished between formalist foundations and the radical love of Nan Goldin was Michals. I still remember seeing his photographic sequences of angels leading a figure away from their deceased body for the first time on a murky projector in a

Bei Etienne Willem fallen mir zuerst immer seine Charaktere ein: ein Hase, der tapfer sein will und noch nicht weiß, wie schwer Tapferkeit werden kann. Oder ein Affe, der in einem Cockpit sitzt und den Himmel nicht als Freiheit verkauft, sondern als Risiko. Oder eine junge Frau im Paris der Weltausstellungen, die umgeben ist von […]

Florian Satzinger inspiriert mich seit Jahren. Das klingt erst einmal groß, fast zu groß für einen Künstler, dessen Werk oft mit Schnäbeln, Matrosenmützen, Raketen und Cartoon-Augen loslegt. Doch genau darin liegt für mich der Reiz. Bei ihm beginnt der Witz nie beim Gag allein. Er beginnt bei der Form. Eine Figur kippt den Kopf, der […]

Before the white chrysanthemum the scissors hesitate a moment — Yosa Buson This poem touched me with a simple truth: even death pauses before the beauty of life. It made me realize what stops time for me—my children, the most fragile and tender beauty I know. Through them, childhood became in my mind, a fleeting

Cozette Russell builds densely shadowed worlds that reverberate through imagery and surface, considering time as a tactile material in itself. Intimate moments of her life are split, repeated, and coerced into forms that echo a rhythmic heartbeat on their own. Russell’s work is autobiographical and closely questions overlapping elements of care, feminism, and the many

When I think of Mexico Week I don’t just see it as a series of interviews, but as a compass of what’s yet to come. Seven artists, each working from a different place—whether it’s femininity, nature, society, history, identity, architecture, or the unconscious—share an undoubtable longing to express themselves in an innovative and true way.

I remember the day it happened. I was in second grade, snuggled beside my mother as we watched their innocent faces fill the television. These images formed a heartbreaking mosaic of the children who lost their lives in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. She turned the TV off, shaking her head in disbelief
