Björn Braun: nest
$45.00
(available to order)
Summary:
For his paper collages, Björn Braun carefully cuts out photographs from old illustrated books and reassembles them in fresh ways: a mountain range might grow out of the shingles of a church roof. Braun's sculptural works follow a similar logic--nothing can be destroyed unless something new is created from it.

Summary:
Name, Class, Subject by Aisha Khalid is inspired by the exercise or 'copy' books used by government schools in Pakistan to teach writing in Urdu and English. Khalid’s book project recalls her experience as a child growing up in Pakistan under the imposed hierarchy of a society shaped by a bilingual culture. The book is produced from over three hundred original two-sided paintings of ruled pages painted in the traditional Mughal style of miniature painting, making each printed page unique. ‘Errors’ in the printing and discrepancies in the lined sheets highlight distinctions between the Urdu section and the uniform English-ruled pages. The book is also intended to be written in.

With his muscular combination of words, forms and ideas, the works are both narrative and non-narrative. Gillick has created over 2000 multi-dimensional works exploring ideas about capitalism, social organizations, social volatility and the myriad possibilities of instability. The artist's quest has continually been something of a causal chain that investigates concepts such as utopia, parallelism, space and time, using them all as a search for utopia.
