dazzling melodramatic nostalgia

10 October 2018 questionsandart

surreally

19 September 201820 August 2019 questionsandart

It’s hard to imagine there was ever a time where the world was not oversaturated with images. No billboards, advertising, 9gag, Instagram, photobooks, or whatsoever. Think about it, how normal we find it to come across images. And how normal … Continue reading surreally

looking back in moving forward

24 August 201824 August 2018 questionsandart

Fed up with an inaccessible and market-driven gallery system, alternative art spaces were sprouting up in New York in the 70s. The traditional gallery system was very difficult to enter if you were not a white male. Because there where … Continue reading looking back in moving forward

mirror, mirror

17 July 201817 July 2018 questionsandart

Did you ever felt down the rabbit hole of contemplating the complexities of self-presentation? It’s very self-conscious – very millennial, I know. Although there is no way of fully knowing it, there is an unavoidable discrepancy between how do you appear … Continue reading mirror, mirror

underrepresented histories

25 June 2018 questionsandart

History in the Global West is mainly taught as global lines of linear progression. “First this happened, and then that happened afterwards because of that.” Classical Greece, Roman Empire, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Enlightenment, French Revolution – you get it. … Continue reading underrepresented histories

high ‘n lo combo

4 June 201820 August 2019 questionsandart
