Artist

Jude Griebel

Jude Griebel creates detailed figurative sculptures and drawings that visualize our entanglement with the surrounding world. In his works, landscapes, the species we affect, and the waste we create, coalesce in vivid forms that illustrate the reach of our impact and consumption habits. Both harbingers of ruin and agents of transformation, his works build on art historical traditions of the anthropomorphic body to reflect a planet in a state of crisis.

Jude Griebel has exhibited work at Massey Klein Gallery, New York; CHART, New York; and Esker Foundation, Calgary, among others.

Giorgio Andreotta Calò

Giorgio Andreotta Caló’s research developed though a process of withdrawing fragments from reality and the reappropriation of architecture, landscape and his own history. Calò comes to create works that cross boundaries between sculpture, actions and direct architectural intervention. Therefore, the artwork presented to the public is never a specially-­made object or simply the result of a project, but rather a time-based process immersed in physical matter and space and given its shape by the environment with which it interacts and the energies unleashed from within it. He seeks out and pursues his visions with extreme lucidity, revealing how real and essential they are before tracing them back to everyday situations. His artworks may be interpreted as “active residues” of processes and actions that have taken place in a specific time and space.

Giorgio Andreotta Calò (born 1979 in Venice) studied sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti, Venice from 1999 to 2005 and at the KHB KunstHochSchule, Berlin, from 2003 to 2004. Since 2008 he has lived and worked in Venice and Amsterdam where he was a resident artist at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten. In 2011, his work was presented at the 54th Venice Biennale. In 2012 he won the Premio Italia for contemporary art organized by the Museum MAXXI, Rome.

 

 

Soda_Jerk

Soda_Jerk is a 2-person art collective that works with sampled material to construct rogue historiographies. Taking the form of video installations, lecture performances and cut-up texts, their archival image practice is situated at the interzone of errant pedagogy, documentary and speculative fiction. Projects currently in development include two new dual-projection lecture performances. The first, Terror Nullius, excavates the true horror at the heart of Australian film mythologies, while Netsploits rewires a matrix of samples from cyber films and web sources to construct a counter-history of internet antiheroes.

Formed in Sydney in 2002, Soda_Jerk moved to Berlin in 2010 to participate in the International Studio Program at Künstlerhaus Bethanien. More recently they have been based in the US, undertaking residencies at Flux Factory in New York, and LoBot in West Oakland. They are currently based in New York where they are also participating in the 2014 Art & Law Program at Fordham Law School. They have exhibited at institutions such as the Museum of the Moving Image, New York; Studio Museum Harlem; Grimmuseum, Berlin; Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and microcinemas such as Spectacle, Union Docs, Anthology Film Archives and Other Cinema. Their work has screened internationally in experimental film programs and festivals including New Forms, Vancouver; Abandon Normal Devices, Liverpool and the 10th Anniversary of the Pirate Bay, Stockholm.
