Hannah Putz

"Young Austrian photographer Hanna Putz´s body of work is characterized by her precise composition and arrangement of people within her photographs. Her strong visual language, suggests a quiet complexity which, often makes the protagonists of her photographs function as abstract sculptures rather than human beings posing for a photograph.This comes across especially in her compelling series of mothers with their children.

Hanna Putz was born in Vienna in 1987 and currently lives and works in London."V

Maya Angelou on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight: INTERVIEW

“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou

I DECIDED TO LEAVE

Anders Oinonen

 

 "Oinonen plays with us, he draws us into his pictures using a cool subtle palette and soft gestural brushstrokes, a lush style that soon overwhelms us, keeps us transfixed, his mournful faces growing out of the paintings, sad, confused and all too human. These are paintings full of empathy, there is an understanding between Oinonen, his subject and the viewer, he urges us to engage, to participate, to project ourselves into the image so that we might awaken our emotions and contemplate our very being."MutantSpace

I had NO idea they jumped or "flew!"

Kjell Varvin

“When a new experiment is started a whole world of possibilities lies ahead. You know that by initiating it, the variations will multiply rapidly. Insignificant pieces of wood, plywood, iron rods and glass are collected and put together, mostly without knowing what will be the result. Single objects find a way to coexist in a kind of vulnerable harmony. Their instability is an expression of the general, fragile, temporary presence. The installations sometimes collapse before they can be documented with the digital camera.

I like to build and rebuild; to form structures and let them develop freely, see them succumb spontaneously and then re-emerge as totally different systems.
I am not trying to postpone the inevitable or prolong any illusion of stability. The result of my work should be understood as proposals, not final statements.” KV

Katie Bell

Katie Bell is originally from Rockford, Illinois and is currently based in New York.  She graduated from RISD's MFA painting department a few years ago. She has said to be very influenced by her parent's work. "My dad is a construction worker, building and restoring homes, and my mom is an interior designer. They often work together on projects. They are makers and always had friends around the house with similar interests. It wasn’t until recently that I realized how much my work is exactly a product of their world."SHK

I love that these are about communication and miscommunication- the idea is beautiful to me.

Don't hug me I'm scared - Kick Starter

I love their first video!  They are now raising funds to make 4 more episode to continue the series.  They've raise a 1/5 of their goal so far.  I can't wait to be disturbed by their next creepy weird videos.
