Dan Colen: Dead Flowers
25/07/2012Artist Dan Colen takes his latest exhibition Dead Flowers to KARMA's Amagansett location on Long Island this August. The show is comprised of three flower paintings, M&M-painted rock sculptures and a metamorphosed park bench. "This collection of artworks seems to exist as in a dream or altered state; mutations and disruptions can be acknowledged without affecting our ability to wholly accept the resulting phantasmagoric landscape. The planar world contorts, stained and bent, into a world of vortices.

Interview with Ana Kraŝ
25/07/2012Ana Kraŝ has just moved from Serbia to New York. She is a maker of alluring objects and illustrations, and a taker of seductive photographs. Whatever she turns her mind to has an earthy and simplistic appeal, nothing too showy or sterile, but rather works that are imbued with the hand of the artist behind them.
Clementine Widdowson – de Pressigny: Ana can you tell me about growing up and studying in Serbia, and how youthink this has informed your work?

Santiago Sierra: "NO", Global Tour
24/07/2012Team presents a new feature-length film by Spanish artist Santiago Sierra, the protagonist of which is Sierra's monumental sculpture of the word “NO”, constructed in a generic bolded sans serif typeface. Crossing most of Western Europe, the Eastern United States and touching down briefly in Japan, the six-foot tall, fourteen-foot wide negation distills the artist’s practice of site specific artworks into a single simple gesture adaptable to a variety of settings. As the sculpture travels, its meaning changes with its setting.
