Helping collectors build exciting collections
From the upcoming Handbook of Lesser-known Artists In an age where sound art is often reduced to ambient noise or immersive spectacle, Henri Pagnol (b. 1955, Marseille) has pursued a path so peculiar that even seasoned curators admit they have difficulty explaining it to audiences without provoking laughter. Pagnol’s chosen medium is whisper erosion,the slow … Read more
By Dr. Anika Scholz, Professor of Art Theory for the Handbook of Lesser Known Artists In an age saturated by digital replication and hyper-visible authorship, Silvio Neris (b. 1961, Ferrara, Italy) offers a profoundly unsettling counterpoint: artworks that eat themselves. Best known for his decades-long project, Codex Termitaria, Neris created works in a medium so … Read more
Tracking the Elusive Cool Across Europe By Jessop Dinton of Art & Elsewhere Magazine There are people who chase wildflowers in Provence, others who follow the aurora borealis across Finland. And then there’s me: riding trains and local buses, dodging security guards, and mispronouncing things in five languages just to catch a glimpse of a … Read more
Review of Mucosal Rapture: A Multimedia Excavation of Internal Landscapes Let me begin by saying I have experienced a lot of art in my time: the sublime, the confounding, the moving, and the outright fraudulent. Rarely, though, does a show actively fight back. Torbin von Eel’s latest atrocity, Mucosal Rapture, doesn’t just blur the line … Read more

Vey’s work is not visual in any traditional sense; it is the act of saying everything she thinks, unfiltered, no matter the … Read more

In the 18th century, George Frideric Handel composed oratorios from a townhouse on Brook Street; two centuries later, Jimi Hendrix made a home just next door, filling it with guitars and Portobello Road trinkets.

In a remote hangar on the outskirts of Toulouse, a Lufthansa Airbus A320 glows iridescent under the lights. Not from its metallic fuselage, but from a dizzying cascade of brushstrokes on its body. This is not a corporate stunt or a conceptual prank,it’s the latest work of Marja Klein, the reclusive Dutch-German painter who has … Read more
