All Art Friday
All Art Friday Spotlights
✦ Dutch photographer Jacqueline Hassink has published a new book, Jacqueline Hassink: View, Kyoto (Hatje Cantz), a multipart series for which Hassink photographed, between 2004 and 2014, Japanese gardens and Kyoto's Buddhist temples to examine the "undefined" boundaries between public (exterior) and private (interior) spaces. What results are "living sculptures" that transform from season to season and with shifts in spatial arrangements. The text is by Hassink. Some of her photographs from the series may be viewed online at the Website for Benrubi Gallery, New York City.

✦ The x-ray color photography of Jim Wehtje is all about the image. Wehtje has been making x-ray photos for nearly two decades, and almost anything, from tulips, to toys, to animals, catches his eye. (My thanks to Spencer Byles for the introduction to Wehtje's work.)
✦ Photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto is designing his own art complex, which is scheduled to open in Sagami Bay, in eastern Japan, in 2017. Read "Hiroshi Sugimoto Creates His Own Museum" at Phaidon News.
✦ Abstraction and "observed imagery" (representation) figure in the work of Julian Kreimer, whether he's on location or in his studio in Brooklyn. Kreimer, who teaches painting at SUNY, recently had a solo show in San Diego at Lux Art Institute, where he also was Resident Artist. Take a look at his newest paintings.

✦ Today's video introduces Berlin-based Ryoichi Kurokawa whose installations comprising integrated audio and visuals have been receiving significant attention. In the video, Kurokawa discusses how he uses technology to create his artworks. Kurokawa most recently had a solo exhibition at Espacio Fundacion Telefonica in Lima/Peru, where he presented an audiovisual concert.
My thanks to Sedition, where I first saw Kurokawa's syn_mod-1, syn_mod.2, and syn_mod.3. See Kurokawa's Waterfalls at My Modern Met.
