Asgar/Gabriel: Bucolica Obscura
(08 January 2009) - Since 2005, the young Vienna-based artists Daryoush Asgar and Elisabeth Gabriel of Asgar/Gabriel, have been collaborating on a radically contemporary form of figurative painting. Drawing upon historical movements such as baroque, pop art, and abstract expressionism, while referencing contemporary developments in graffiti and photo-realism, the duo create intricately layered canvases in which linear narrative falls prey to the chaos of our image saturated times....

Mühlbauer Campaigns
(23 December 2008) - Among felt molds, colorful ribbons and other bits of visual stimuli found at the Viennese workshop of Mühlbauer, the family-owned hat-makers that goes back three generations, I was particularly taken by the ad campaigns lining the halls. Spanning the decades with smart depictions of stylish women wearing hats, the colors, compositions and aesthetics of the vintage ads are like a walk through a history...

Vienna Design Week 2008: Numen Light
(09 October 2008) - On first glance Numen Light looks like just another mirror trick but on closer inspection the infinity point gapes open revealing an uneven black space that then closes, going back to infinity. Check out a video of its mesmerizing action on Rado's site. This trippy effect is the work of the Vienna design collective For Use, who use a two-way mirrored surface that flexes...

Vienna Design Week 2008: Carpetplots
(08 October 2008) - Reinterpreting the carpet as canvas, Carpetplots is a series of six limited editions each by a different Austrian designer. The project is the work of Vienna-based design duo Danklhampel, who curated the group of designers, and the furniture retailer Prodomo, which hosted the show at their gallery space, Prodomo Windows. What's unique about these carpets (compared to other similar collaborations) is a process, that's...
