My work investigates post-industrial culture through the common uses and origins of modeling, gaming and information technologies. In my projects 3D models represent a quixotic attempt to make sense of things. To me games draw attention to the rules we (un)knowingly agree upon from one situation to another. I also use games and models for their association with childhood, which I see as an endless condition. MORE>>> |

My art is the best method to communicate with others. I want to share my feelings with other people because I can get inspiration from my ordinary life and others are in my story without their will and opinion. So I want to give a little present to them in return. When I carted my statue on the street, many people asked me to take picture of me with my bronze twin, and I was glad to pose with their children and answer their questions. MORE>>> |

My body of work reflects my own heritage, culture, and identity as blue collar and as a son of immigrants. I have manufactured representations of my environment with minimal iconic imagery inspired by vacant urban factories. These factories are now obsolete remnants of industry which serves as monuments to labor and as symbols of social class for generations of working class families. MORE>>> |

My paintings describe the aesthetic relation between organic and inorganic forms and its visual and social implications. The paintings are inspired by the expansive and improvisational qualities that exist in nature and by the light and colors of the Caribbean where the light seems to emanate from almost any direction, sometimes even from the ground. This is especially true in Puerto Rico, where I was born and raised. The materiality of painting amplifies light and form, and by extension all natural phenomena it attempts to capture. The works make allusions to the classical Apollonian-Dionysian split, where presentation and negation, organization and disorder, become ever-present. MORE>>> |

My goal is to make simple and effective modifications to everyday objects in order to open up their meanings triggering new associations for the viewer. For me, the best art engages and stimulates perception. I hope to exploit an object’s communicative potential and lead the viewer to consider the source and function of the object within the material culture and the contradictions and complexity of such culture. I work with a variety of media including craft, video, ready-mades, and found objects. MORE>>> |

Following one of the most cliché definitions of the art as a self expression method, I am trying to open each area of my life to it. Everything that I perceive combines with the imagination and becomes a reflection of the human being. Even though that I have attempted to do this in different ways, academic music has been dominant. But unfortunately, in some certain cases music can not be sufficient to express myself. MORE>>>

Josue Pellot
My work is based on personal experience, convictions, education, and personal taste. My current primary focus is on concepts of identity (in general), the idea of a sponsored identity, consumerism as a creator of identity, and post-colonialism. This subject matter can be very specific and personal at times. MORE>>> |

When art and life intersect at a pivotal tension point, a dialogue develops in multiple dimensions. The
tangibility of symbolically charged materials such as cemetery flowers or fabrics now acts as an agent of
communication in my developing body of work. I have been experimenting with performative installations
where improvised rituals and materials converge. MORE >>> |

Marilyn & Peter Frank
The Franks are often inspired by language, communication, and the unspoken ideas that are exchanged between the constructed environment and the individual. Much of the work employs the use of text, signage and objects carrying multiple layers & interpretations. The Franks attempt to find the complexity of the seemingly "simple," by deconstructing objects and exploring the inherent characteristics and relationships they possess. The work is intended to contain a significance that is not purely identified with thought. MORE >>> |

When does something become so fine it disappears? Layers of dust sift over the edges of books, on the periphery of furniture, in the corners. Hair and skin ground down into a fine powder, an ongoing residue. Paper drifting on the wood floor, gathered and burnt, turned into ash yet still a ghost. My work reflects the process of transition – objects in motion, imagery submerged just below the surface, the traces of an explosion. I am interested in examining how evidence is presented, how events are reconstructed. MORE>>> |
