Michael Joo
Daniel Birnbaum, Michael Joo
MIT List Visual Arts Center, 2004
Exploring how science, religion and the media shape consciousness, Michael Joo's artworks knit together the physical and the metaphysical. Matter and subject matter, energy and waste, the visible and that which cannot be seen--this is the stuff of Joo's sculptures. His densely layered works are accretions of meaning brought about by succinctly-handled conjunctions and disjunctions in a space. ...

There's more.
+ Best of the best
+ It's a gas, man!
When I first got this, I think I paid somewhere like 30$. I was under the impression that it was like around 15 minutes long. So when I found out it was 6 minutes instead, I did feel a little cheated, even though I loved the video. Then a while ago I really took an interest in the artwork. Then I ...

Pierre Huyghe: Float
Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev
Skira, 2004
Pierre Huyghe's reputation in the international contemporary art scene is based on installations, films, and collaborative projects that probe our collective imagination. His works tend to generate a sense of instability by imposing unusual strategies of perception on the narrative structures through which it is constructed. They engage the observers, causing their own stock of visual images ...

Echoing Rimbaud's "Je est un autre," Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone uses the question of identity as a main theme in his multimedia creations. His works are a balancing act of ambiguities--from art to commerce, the fashionably hip to melancholic withdrawal, seduction to rejection. Exemplifying these undercurrents are ...

The fictions that he weaves extends outward from the objects of his art--film, video, sound installations, photographs, and text works--to encompass his own artistic persona. Douglas Gordon's Vanity of Allegory , an exhibition conceived specifically for the Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin, explores the notion of the veiled self-portrait as an ...

Peter Doig: Works on Paper
Kadee Robbins
Rizzoli, 2006
For what this book is, page after page of drawings, you cant ask for more
Doig has been gaining quite a following over the last few years. His art is exploratory and innovative in my mind. More than anything his work is about the mark and texture along with its correspondence to mood and composition. So what this book does so very well is give the viewer a full breadth ...
