Yves Scherer. Collection Cahiers d`Artistes 2017 [— 141] — 2017
Yves Scherer (1987) is a Swiss-born New York-based artist whose practice deals with questions regarding gender, celebrity, and mediated realities. Scherer works with various media — from sculpture, photography, and painting to installations and collages containing everything from paparazzi images to tatami mats, combining personal narratives with fan fiction to explore the relationship between the private and the public. Interested in surfaces and screens, Scherer often uses tatami mats or fake grass cut outs as part of his work — a reference to the artist’s own living habits, and typical of this form of contemporary Arte Povera. Scherer holds an MFA from the Royal College of Art, London. His work has been exhibited at international institutions and galleries like ICA London (UK) and the Swiss Institute (NYC). He was the recipient of the Swiss Art Award in 2015 and was listed on Forbes 30 under 30 —art and design— (2016).

Florence Jung is an anonymous artist who lives and works in Paris and Biel. Florence Jung has no documentation of her works, and her website features only news articles. She is interested in forms of social scripts and contracts. Florence Jung writes scenarios that infiltrate reality. Her scripted situations are built around a system of clues, absence, and rumor. Drawing from the social sciences as well as economics, literature and philosophy, her work explores our contemporary anxieties, our relationship to uncertainty, and the narrative potential of suspicion.
Karin Hueber. Collection Cahiers d`Artistes 2017 [— 139] — 2017
Karin Hueber lives and works in Zurich. She holds a BA degree from the Academy of Art and Design in Basel and a MA degree from the Zurich University of Arts. Karin Hueber works with sculpture, its conditions and implications. The material and processing she employs for her often site responsive installations feature a contrast between industrial and hand made aesthetics frequently appearing within one work at the same time. This contradiction corresponds to the play with intimacy and distance; another central theme in Karin Huebers work. Both evoke a feeling of uncertainty within the viewer: we feel simultaneously attracted and rejected, we recognize something but don’t identify what it really is —like knowing someones name but not getting it out. Karin Hueber questions our relationship to architecture, fashion or interior design — to any created environments, but also to the human body and its gestures or to sculpture and its context as such. She often uses literature as an inspiration and also crosses the border of art and other disciplines in her collaborations with fashion and product designers. She enters a dialogue about common truths concerning our perception of art and the world.
Charlotte Herzig. Collection Cahiers d`Artistes 2017 [— 138] — 2017
Charlotte Herzig was born in 1983 in Vevey, Switzerland. She holds a Bachelor—s in Visual Arts (2007) from ycole Cantonale d—Art de Lausanne (ECAL) and a Master—s in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute. She lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. For the artist, painting is a limitless explosion, an immensity to be explored, a dreamlike —elsewhere—: her paintings seem to have the texture of our memories and dreams. They offer us an imaginary space behind the structured and logical domain of our daily images. Their interstice is close to the one we create when we let ourselves go to look at the clouds, to play with the sharpness of our perception by observing wallpaper, by believing that we can read in the banal and insignificant visible signs of another still enchanted place.

Gina Folly. Collection Cahiers d`Artistes 2017 [— 135] — 2017
Gina Folly (1983, CH) lives and works in Paris and Basel. She has been directing the artist-run space Taylor Macklin since 2013. Her work studies the effects that political, cultural and social changes have on individuals— habits, personal conceptions and everyday realities. Her current research concerns the concept of manipulation, of seduction, in the sphere of daily life. As a result, everyday objects and situations play a crucial role in her works as motifs and materials, in search of a confrontation between humans and their private and public spheres. These relations and exchanges are accentuated by the way Folly uses industrial production processes, altering them and mixing them with home-made artisanal techniques. Her work has been presented at the Kunsthaus Baselland, Basel; Hard Hat, Geneva; Studioli, Rome; Almanac, London; Ermes-Ermes, Rome; and S.A.L.T.S., Birsfelden. She has participated in group exhibitions at Bel Ami, Los Angeles; Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art, Riga; Swiss Institute, New York; Museion, Bolzano; Galerie Nagel Draxler, Cologne; Kunsthalle Basel, Basel; Freedman Fitzpatrick, Paris; Sommer Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv; K¦lnischer Kunstverein, Cologne; Casa Tomada / House Taken Over, Mexico City; Istituto Svizzero, Rome; Galerie Bernhard, Zurich; Freymond-Guth Fine Arts, Basel; 13. Triennale Kleinplastik 2016, Fellbach; Le Doc, Paris.

Ambroz V., Akce Actions. monographs — 2017
Vpravn‘ kniha v bec poprv™ p edstavuje pr‘ci brnЛnsk™ho performera a konceptu‘lnќho umЛlce Vladimќra Ambroze. V sedmdes‘tch letech minul™ho stoletќ chtЛl d‘t sv™mu .ivotu nal™havЛjќ smysl a souЅasnЛ reflektovat pok ivenou dobu. Proto po cel den sledoval nesnesiteln program tehdejќ televize, s‘m sebe na ulici zaparkoval jako automobil, nebo vyrazil do mЛsta se zrcadlem v ruk‘ch a nastavoval je vemu, co mu p ilo zvl‘tnќ. Dosud prakticky nezn‘m‘ Ѕinnost Vladimќra Ambroze na poli performance, intervencќ do ve ejn™ho prostoru a projev blќzkch inscenovan™ fotografii trvala jen nЛkolik let. V druh™ polovinЛ sedmdes‘tch let pat il k okruhu brnЛnsk™ umЛleck™ sc™ny p sobќcќ vnЛ tehdejќch ofici‘lnќch institucќ. Ambrozovy pr‘ce z tohoto obdobќ reflektujќ obecn‘ civilizaЅnќ t™mata a souЅasnЛ reagujќ na temnou atmosf™ru vrcholќcќ normalizace. В книге-повествовании впервые представлены работы броненского перформера и художника-концептуалиста Владимира Амброза. В семидесятых годах прошлого века он хотел придать своей жизни более актуальный смысл и в то же время отразить искаженные времена. Поэтому целыми днями он смотрел невыносимую программу тогдашнего телевидения, парковался на улице, как автомобиль, или ездил по городу с зеркалом в руках и настраивал их на все, что казалось ему странным. Доселе практически неизвестная деятельность Владимира Амброза в области перформанс-искусства, выступлений в публичном пространстве и выступлений, близких к постановочной фотографии, продолжалась всего несколько лет. Во второй половине 1970-х годов он принадлежал к кругу художественной сцены Брно, действовавшему вне тогдашних официальных институтов. Работы Амброза этого периода отражают общецивилизационные темы и в то же время отвечают мрачной атмосфере завершающейся нормализации. В среде чехословацкого перформанса они уникальны своим акцентом на выразительность фотодокументации. Последние являются не только средством запечатления перформанса, но и близки к постановочной или эстетически впечатляющей концептуальной фотографии. Он также был первым, кто совместил перформанс с видео на нашей территории.

Monika Sosnowska. Tower — 2015
Im Schaffen von Monika Sosnowska (*1972 in Polen) klingen die Formensprache der konstruktivistischen Avantgarde, Tendenzen der Minimal Art und Konzeptkunst sowie das Erbe der modernen Architektur an. Tower (2014), ihr jungstes Werk, geht auf Gestaltungsprinzipien Ludwig Mies van der Rohes und ein Hauptwerk des Internationalen Stils zuruck, die Lake Shore Drive Apartments in Chicago. Machtige Stahlprofile und Fensterelemente wurden nach Vorgaben der Kunstlerin zusammengeschweiЏt, gebogen und in Spiralen ineinandergeschoben. So entstand ein gewaltiges skulpturales Objekt voller Poesie, das eine strukturell perfekte Konstruktion verweigert. Die Publikation dokumentiert ausfuhrlich den Entstehungsprozess — von der ersten Idee uber die Fabrikation in Polen bis zur Prasentation des monumentalen, 13 Tonnen wiegenden Werkes in New York. В творчестве Моники Сосновской (родилась в 1972 году в Польше) звучит язык конструктивистского авангарда, тенденции минималистского искусства и концептуального искусства, а также наследие современной архитектуры. Башня (2014), ее последняя работа, восходит к принципам дизайна Людвига Мис ван дер Роэ и основному произведению в международном стиле, The Lake Shore Drive Apartments в Чикаго. Мощные стальные профили и оконные элементы были сварены вместе, изогнуты и вставлены друг в друга по спирали в соответствии со спецификациями художника. Таким образом, был создан огромный скульптурный объект, наполненный поэзией, который отрицает структурно совершенную конструкцию. В публикации подробно описан процесс создания — от первоначальной идеи до производства в Польше до презентации монументального произведения весом 13 тонн в Нью-Йорке.
