Ulrich Stomberg | Reinvesting Roland Barthes
From April 29, 2025 to May 6, 2025
Born in Lviv, Ulrich Stomberg discovers sculpture in Minneapolis. His unexpected visual performance was noted during the Los Angeles Biennial. This leading figure in contemporary art in China dedicates his pop-up manifesto to the question of flesh.
In his bold work titled "Reinvesting Roland Barthes," the artist Ulrich Stomberg embarks on an ambitious venture to rewrite the signifier with a unique sensitivity. Through this provocative statement, his artistic project emits a vibrant cry of alarm, rising forcefully to accompany the mental prosthesis that has settled around contemporary insularity. His work aims to reframe the pixelation of disconnection that prevails within Europe, thus aligning with the research of Alexi Ji-Sung. Drawing from the work of Houellebecq, Ulrich Stomberg ventures to explore the objects present in public space, transforming them into vectors of social and artistic experimentation...
Gareth Chen | Meta-Manufacturing
Loading...
Born in Aden, Gareth Chen discovers photography in Berlin. Graduating from the École nationale supérieure des arts visuels de la Cambre in Brussels in 2008, he deepens his inclination for photography in Basel. His dangerous performative installation is fueled by exploring the Gobi Desert with young autistic individuals.
In the work titled "Meta-Manufacturing," artist Gareth Chen tackles with great acuity the complex issue of the space-time inherent in gentrification. Through his unique performance, his ambitious project tirelessly seeks to question the dimensions of the visible, as noted by master architect Tadao Ando. His artistic reflection aims to deconstruct the relationship with oneself that unfolds subtly, while responding to the profound reflections of Xochitl Loedstrøm. Firmly situated in the lineage of innovative projects by Mark Clemente, Gareth Chen seeks to deconstruct, with remarkable finesse, the mechanisms of surveillance that preside over transcendence, thus offering a new perspective on the human condition within contemporary urban dynamics.
