MAURIZO GALIMBERTI
Maurizio Galimberti is an Italian photographer known for his technique: Polaroid Mosaics, through which he found his own way of expressing dynamism by re-inventing reality. The creation of his Polaroid Mosaics was inspired by Futurism and Cubism. His works freeze time by deconstructing multiple photographed images into a single montaged composition. The subjects become so abstracted by the layering and overlapping that they give the viewer an almost three- dimensional perspective, turning the motifs into a complex illusion of depth and volume. The technique used by Galimberti has been influenced by Boccioni and Duchamp and consists in doing a collage of polaroid’s each one with a different particular of the same image to portrait.

DOHO SUH
Photographs, objects and space can all remind us of our place. However, we can not bring those exact objects or space with us all the time. Do Ho Suh is a very interesting Korean artist. He explores the theme of personal space. His colourful installation highlight the ‘invisible memory of our daily experiences at home.
Do Ho Suh precisely constructs proportionally exact replicas of dwelling places, architectural features, or household appliances from stitched planes of translucent, coloured polyester fabric. These large-scale works are also able to be compressed into two- dimensional ‘drawings’. His portable modules of space were designed to be placed in his suitcase as he travelled between continents. He chose to work with this type of fabric because it is used in traditional Korean summer wear and it was cheap and readily available. Suh is interested in the linking of spaces that is why his installations are constructed with transitory, connecting spaces-corridors, staircases, bridges, gateways, through which the body travels between cultures. His works engage with migration and cultural displacement. They highlight the important connections between physical places and memory. His installations exist between imagination and reality which allows visitors to walk through for a unique perspective on the artist’s personal’s space.

MONIKA GRZYMALA
I would like to express my feelings, by attempting to translate these intangibles into tangible objects. Monika Grzymala is a Polish-born, Berlin-based artist specialising in site-specific drawings that respond to the condition and configuration of a given space in both two and three-dimensional space. Grzymala works mainly with adhesive tape which she applies directly to gallery walls to create three-dimensional drawings. The tape spins into vertexes, vortex whirlpools, wraps around corners and spills on to floors. She describes her use of materials in terms of distance rather than weight or amount. She sees her works as performances rather than conventional installations as she documents the physical effort she invests in every work and measures the tape in length rather than number. Grzymala wants audience to experience the work with the whole body, not only with eyes or ears. It is the holistic way of looking at things. Her work is another language to express emotions and ideas.
“Time is a very important component of my work. The pieces are all like time capsules.”

SARAH SZE
Sarah Sze's work attempts to navigate and model the unending creation of information and objects in contemporary life. She is interested in the idea of how something is seared into memory or how something is burred away. Her works incorporating elements of painting, architecture and everyday objects, Sze investigates the value we place on objects and explores how objects ascribe meaning to the places and times we inhabit. Her works are leaved raw process of experimentation and often seem to hover in a traditional state between growing and dying. It often looks like sequence studio where she can layout her ideas. Bringing the studio into gallery space, bringing all the process because seeing thing made in time of revolution of that process are more values than the performance itself. Within her practice, sculpture becomes both a device for organizing and dismantling information and a mechanism to locate and dislocate oneself in time and space. Sze sculpture are site specific therefore each has their different stories to transform the visitor’s perception and experience.
