Cally Spooner
The installation Self Tracking (the five stages of grief) was realized from a performance that is to be re-activated. One of the rows in the piece corresponds to the artist’s metabolism data, another to the artist’s ranking data in Artfacts.net and the data of the World Trusted Currency Authority on the exchange rate of the pound sterling against the euro between 2012 and 2016. There is an interposing orange line, a trace of self-tanning lotion that signals the presence of the body.

Xolo Cuintle
In a post-apocalyptic setting, a layer of dust petrifies everything in an eternal state of latency. Thick as it is, a rocking chair becomes imponent and can no longer rock. The growth of vegetation has been hampered by concrete and could be mistaken for rocks.

Lola Gonzàlez
In Summer Camp , Lola Gonzàlez filmed a group of friends at the home of her parents in the department of Charente (France) in the process of transforming the house into a training camp. They are doing exercises with the furniture as if they were training to fight against something yet to happen. Gonzàlez ’s films persistently evoke the same fear of an external threat, one which is never explained but which can be placed in relation with the current political situation and social tension.

Oscar Tuazon
Oscar Tuazon‘s sculptural oeuvre is situated at the border of art, architecture and technology. Engaging different methods of construction, he frequently uses wood, concrete, glass, steel, and piping as materials to create his structures and installations. Tuazon’s works have roots in minimalism, conceptualism, and architecture, and have a direct relationship with both the site in which they are presented, as well as with their viewer, often through physical engagement.

Davida Nemeroff
In one series, she considers issues of spectatorship at the Los Angeles Zoo. Box Stall (2013) shows the back end of a horse, highlighting what is included and excluded from the frame of vision.

Emilija Škarnulyte
In the video, the artist follows her grandmother, Aldona, during her daily walk through the Grutas Park in Lithuania. Founded ten years after the collapse of USSR, this privately-owned sculpture park features close to a hundred Soviet-era statues collected from all over the country. As similar statues were often taken down or destroyed in neighboring Soviet countries, the sculpture park became a unique yet controversial resource.

Alejandro Almanza Pereda
This still life falls apart, or rather floats apart as the composition is proved unstable and constantly morphing. An impossible attempt at achieving a fixed state, some objects remain buoyant and some objects sink, constantly tilting the overall scale and arrangement. Properties of weight, mass and shape have their own will but a hand appears in the scene, pushing back on these mysterious forces.

Daniel Boccato
Birdstones is a series of flat concrete slabs made from moldings of different shapes, each with two small holes. They stand vertically in space in a precarious stance. Heavy by the density of the concrete, they are also airy and floating.

Elena Damiani
In Fading Fields 7 by Elena Damiani, the unstable transparency of the print on silk chiffon is relative to the light and the viewer’s position, varying continually as one moves around the work. As apparitions or ghosts, the images portrayed appear or vanish in the space as faded recollections of a distant landscape. These impressions appear as oscillatory surfaces that fluctuate between presence and absence; they are contingent objects that shift as a result of their environment.

Collier Schorr
In the Collage II (Marie) (2013), Shorr seems to have an ostensibly clear subject, a female subject identified in the work’s title as “Marie,” a slim but athletic woman with brown hair pictured reclining atop a brilliantly white sheet draped against a marbled tan-and-white backdrop. Although photographed topless, Marie is depicted in slightly contorted poses that emphasize the curves of her figure while also obstructing the viewer’s gaze. Printed on high gloss paper, Marie’s portrait has the polished veneer of magazine spread, and the two portraits on display offer different vantages of the same subject.

Yang Zhenzhong
Peasant Sensation Passing Through Flesh – 3 consists of a massage chair fixed to a wall. With its cushions removed to reveal its internal mechanisms, the chair’s programmed rubbing, kneading, patting, and vibrating motions create a strange sight and soundscape. The work explores the relationship between flesh and machine as they come together through technologically simulated social behaviors, challenging normative ideas about human interaction.
