Barbara Kruger: Paste Up

Ninja December 1st, 2009

barbara-kruger-paste-up

Barbara Kruger has an exhibition of her early assembled works at the Sprüth Magers London. These pre-digital pieces, aka ‘paste ups’ were influenced by her experience as a magazine editorial designer. Her pieces are composed of found images with overlaid slogans set in Futura Bold Oblique.

I work with pictures and words because they have the ability to determine who we are and who we aren’t.
–Barbara Kruger

Tuesday – Saturday, 10 AM – 6pm

Sculptor: Gregor Gaida

Ninja November 23rd, 2009

sculptor-gregor-gaida

Gregor Gaida learned his craft as a wood sculptor apprentice in Flensburg and is now pursuing a masters degree in Bremen, Germany. His haunting, blank-faced sculptures are part of his Sum of Stories show and will be exhibited at the Adler Gallery next year!

The result of my work is a translation of reality. With it, the spatial object is put into relation while the sum of perceptions reflects the ambiguity of reality.
– Gregor Gaida

When
January 16 – March 6, 2010
Opening reception: January 15, 2010
7:00 PM

Where
Adler Gallery
Hanauer Landstraße 134
60314 Frankfurt am Main
Germany

Those children and their chalk drawings hold me spellbound and simultaneously creep me out. You can see more of his work from the gallery here.
