Anouk Kruithof: Be Like Water
Dutch conceptual artist Anouk Kruithof (born 1981) reimagines photography and sculpture to create liberating and disturbing artworks that explore the interactions between people, nature and technology. This is the artist's first comprehensive retrospective, surveying two decades of her multimedia practice.
Anouk Kruithof. Transhuman Nature
Anouk Kruithof (B; 1981) is a Dutch visual artist whose multi-layered, interdisciplinary approach encompasses photography, sculpture, installation, performance, books, video, animation, websites, and interventions in the public domain. She collects images related to urgent societal topics like privacy, government surveillance, pollution, and climate change, subjecting them to critical scrutiny by extracting existing imagery from the digital sphere and translating it into her own three-dimensional visual language. Her self-published book ?Trans Human Nature?, full of vibrant green leaves and cybernetic ghosts, was inspired by the several months she spent living in the jungle in Suriname.
The Bungalow
This fascinating artists book by New Yorkbased Dutch artist Anouk Kruithof transforms selections from collector Brad Feuerhelms vernacular photo collection into five dramatic, mysterious and erotic visual narratives that Kruithof calls image-stories. To accomplish this the artist isolated herself in a bungalow for an extended period of time with digitized versions of the photographs and played with their organization and layering on the computer screen. The resulting alterations and collages saved as screen-shots comprise her experiments with making sense of this voluminous archive. Interspersed between the stories are excerpts from the email correspondence between artist and collector. Kruithofs work has most recently been shown at the Stedelijk, Amersterdam, and is the recipient of the 2014 Charlotte Kohler Prize and ICP Infinity Award, New York. Feuerhelm is a London-based American collector and dealer in vernacular photography. Brief essays on the project by Kruithof and Feuerhelm bookend the image-stories.
Anouk Kruithof: Automagic
Automagic is a book-object by Dutch visual artist Anouk Kruithof (b. 1981 in Dordrecht, the Netherlands), which contains images drawn from her "automagic archive," taken with iPhones and small digital cameras over the past twelve years. The book does not seek to present a clear narrative, which is created rather by the viewer's own memories and associations provoked by the nine visual stories presented in nine different books, joined together with a book of text in a transparent acrylic glass box. Automagic is an exploration of an image archive transformed by means of analog photomontages, screenshots, reproductions, editing, and the addition of text. The diversity of topics and concepts in each book is highlighted by the use of different papers, which make a multi-layered sculpture of this book-object. It demonstrates the resourcefulness, the adventurousness, the sheer infinity of possibilities of the medium of photography, and shows how the computer and the human mind can act as processors of ways of looking at our world. 9 volumes of photographs + 1 volume of text, in the same format, in a Plexiglas slipcase Multilingual Edition (English / Dutch / Spanish)
A Head with Wings
"'Do you see something there? Why are you standing still all of a sudden?' With those words begin Anouk Kruithof's trip into the Little Brown rabbit hole. Using hand-made montages of photographs she took in Belize, Mexico, Egypt, Morocco and Berlin, Kruithof spins a hallucinatory yarn of anxiety and desire." --Publisher description.
Universal Tongue
Universal Tongue' celebrates the great diversity of the global dance kaleidoscope in the era of the Internet. It was born from visual artist Anouk Kruithof?s fascination with dance videos distributed online as a representation of self-expression, cultural identity, empowerment and fun.00In collaboration with a team of 50 researchers from across the globe, she sourced over 8800 dance videos online, which were edited down to a 1000 unique dance styles that she blended into a dynamic 8 channel video installation with a four hour duration, accompanied by a unifying soundtrack. The researchers provided a short text for each dance style presented in their found videos. These 1000 edited texts comb...

Raw Plus Material Equals Art
The newest development in alternative art: the use of salvaged and repurposed materials by contemporary artists. Tristan Manco reveals how artists of all kinds are bringing creativity to basic, often unglamorous materials—from broken bottles, old flip-flops, and skateboards to sustainable resources such as wood, straw, and paper. Through hundreds of illustrations, in-depth artist profiles, and detailed discussions of various materials, he showcases the work of more than thirty innovative and inspiring artists from around the world, from the United States, Mexico, Brazil, and Chile to the UK, Spain, France, and Italy. Some of the artists have invented new techniques—American artist Rosemarie Fiore uses fireworks to create paintings—while others have pushed the envelope in the presentation of their work by creating fresh, dynamic forms of display. Whether it is Chilean artist Carlos Zuniga’s creative use of text pages from found books and directories or Brazilian sculptor Henrique Oliveira’s ambitious organic forms in salvaged plywood, the book highlights how imaginative approaches to media and technique encourage us to look at the world in new ways.
Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel
This richly illustrated publication chronicles for the first time the collaborative artwork by Mike Mandel and Larry Sultan. Their prolific artistic collaboration began in 1973 when they were both graduate students at the San Francisco Art Institute. During the course of the next twelve years, they created nineteen projects together.During this period their projects took the form of artists' books, How To Read Music In One Evening, 1974, and Evidence, 1977; a series of a dozen outdoor billboards in the form of hand painted photographs, silkscreen posters, oil paintings and digitally printed posters, 1973-1983; a film, JPL, 1980; and an installation, Newsroom, 1983.Although they both pursued individual projects during this twelve year span they nurtured and developed an intense and focused artist collaboration. Their seminal work, Evidence has been widely recognized as a landmark photographic book.
