Constant Dullaart @ Import Projects

30 August 2013

Berlin-based artist and curator or Dutch Internet Absurdist? Whatever you want to call Constant Dullaart his fun making approach to his practice has ended with a talking Google search engine reciting his own standard ‘Terms of Service’ and a campaign to remove the Twin Towers from a miniature scale replica of New York City in an amusement park in China. All this in the name of interrogating accessibility, visibility and representation in this global tech age.

For his exhibition Jennifer in Paradise at Import Projects, running from September 8 to October 23, he’s referencing the banal title of an equally banal (and slightly creepy) image of an unaware sunbather, the first ever to be photoshopped, to explore “human and machine, image and code, part and whole” via “theme parks, Special Economic Zones and the birth of the Compact Disc”.

Amalia Ulman @ Future Gallery

7 June 2013

“Does an illusion of constant activity make me think of my life as something more valuable, more interesting?

Amalia Ulman certainly has a way with words and she interrogates social structures and human interaction in some of the most tenderly melancholic language imaginable. For ‘Moist Forever’, her solo exhibition, opening at Berlin’s Future Gallery  on Saturday, June 8, and running from June 13 to July 6, follows the incessant noise of modern living and its ultimate vapidity through a synopsis of literary art and first person narrative:

Simultaneously we have the expression of frailty and of resilience, life before the incident and life after. Yet the object is not the same. In its rebirth it assumes a new identity that incorporates yet transcends the previous identity. Like the cycle of reincarnation, one life draws to a close and another begins.
