Erik Steinbrecher

> Bookstorming
What at first sight seems to be an ironic and humourous reply to the frequently touted purity in minimalist art represents the very substance of Erik Steinbrecher's work: Minimalist Kitsch signifies a productive contradiction between reduction and immoderation.
The monograph gathers recent works, works on view in the two corresponding solo exhibitions at Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich and at Villa Merkel, Esslingen, as well as a few works from public and semi-public spaces.

Figments : Judy Gordon, David Barnett

> Bookstorming
Figments is a collaborative work bringing together digital panoramic photography, image manipulation and performance. A series of seven images in which figments of urban life and a working forest collide. The viewer, surrounded by 360 degrees scenarios, with a cast of five actors, is invited to interact.
This work by Judy Gordon and David Barnett emerged from their residency in King’s Wood and at Kent Institute of Art and Design. It was commissioned by Stour Valley Arts as part of their international contemporary art programme.
Each image is a response to different aspects of life in King’s Wood that the artists experienced during their six-month residency, This site-specific work was developed through visits, staying overnight, walking through the forest, recording conversations and making images in different seasons using digital photographs, video and sound.
