| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Canal I With Frame from the series 43-35 10th street 2017 © Daniel Shea | | | Winner Foam Paul Huf Award 2018 | | | | | | | 23 November - 27 January 2018 | | | | Earlier this year, Daniel Shea (US, 1985) was awarded the Foam Paul Huf Award 2018 for his work in which he presents a seductive and disconcerting world of concrete, steel and glass, which traverses the boundaries of fact and fiction. His cityscapes are poetic and timeless, yet they address the very real effects of capitalism on the urban landscape – and society at large. The title of his latest project 43-35 10th Street refers to his studio address in Long Island City: a residential neighbourhood in New York City that is rapidly gentrifying. However, Shea’s construction wastelands could have been (and in fact were) photographed anywhere in the world. Layering photographs from different times and places, the series transcends the local scale and addresses developments that affect cities globally. | | | | | | | | | | Untitled, from the series 43 – 35 10th street, 2017 © Daniel Shea | | | ARTIST TALK

In their monumental works, Broersen and Lukács reflect on nature as a mirror of human perception. In today’s visual culture, fiction is usurping the place of reality. Broersen and Lukács respond to this trend by creating video animations presenting a parallel world of spectacular images that wholly absorb the viewer: true-to-life projections of tree trunks that melt into digital pixels, virtual images of wilderness, breath-taking landscapes that endlessly fall apart and integrate in rapid succession, or a fluttering cloth that morphs into a landscape. The endless loops and metamorphoses of images have an addictive effect, which reflects our mindless consumption of images. The work also raises questions with respect to authorship, the divide between perception and reality, and the social and political agency of images.
Foam is supported by the BankGiro Loterij, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, Gemeente Amsterdam, Olympus and the VandenEnde Foundation. | | | | | | unsubscribe here
