The Next Decade of Inspiration
Crossroads by Gregory Orekhov |
Gregory Orekhov’s “Crossroads,” made of polycarbonate and painted over with marking paint, is a crossing across the river, among fields which seemingly have no end. This land art object is located in the Moscow region, in the area of Nikolina Gora. With this work, the artist raises the question of social, ethical and environmental behaviour.
The 21st century has faced itself with acute problems of capital constructions, which contradicts the basic principles of urbanism and summons a lot of controversy and discontent among local residents. In pursuit of non-ecological development of the economy, the authorities allow more and more ground to be built upon, the nature of which is illegally destroyed for the purpose of self-gain without any clarity or thought.

“Crossroads” is an attempt to turn the world's attention towards heritage preservation and to remind people about the ability of choice. Gregory Orekhov stands at the crossroads between the quiet, foggy natural world and an impending catastrophe. The object is situated at the intersection of historic events that took place here at the time of the Second World War, and those that are yet to come.
This installation is not a personal reflection, more so, it is something that each of us encounters on a daily basis. This is about the unrestrained transformation of the space around, because of which, tomorrow, we can forever lose memorial places, favourite

Wooden sculpture by Peter Demetz |
Italian sculptor Peter Demetz masterfully creates life-sized of wooden scenes that challenge the spectator’s perception with their spatial unfolding and seduce with their illusion as well as with their photographic quality of represented world
“The works of Demetz seem to be still frames of a serial, which needs to be discovered and of which the artist anticipates only some clues; not recognizable stories, but attitudes, something in a potential state, which attends to be resolved into a narrative.”

Self-taught and self-starting American contemporary artist Sophie Sturdevant focuses on the woman's body in her work and art, interpreting her as strong in her vulnerability and beautiful in her femininity through abstract figuration. “A woman’s beauty is like nothing the world has ever seen; she has a unique ability to be strong, but kind, and powerful, but soft, simultaneously”, Sophie states on her website

“It’s not about the advanced technical challenges. It’s more about letting the film influence the final artistic result of the picture. I focus on narrative photography, which is a metaphor that tells about human beings. Thus a human being is the main subject of my photos”

A new reality: Maxim Zhestkov for BMW |
A new reality
by Maxim Zhestkov
To celebrate the reveal of the new all-electric BMW i4, BMW invited Russian media artist Maxim Zhestkov to freely interpret the new vehicle, and create a series of digital artworks using the BMW i4 design and technology as his inspiration. The result is a series that is as mesmerising as it is unique.
“I started out studying traditional architecture, but somewhere down the road I came to realise that the 3D software we used for mapping and modelling had so much more potential. It felt like it was being used to create the final product or output, and then… the process was seen as over. It was very finite, and it just didn’t sit right with me. But then I saw that, in fact, the software, if I found a way to use it right, could become much more. It could be used to discover and experiment in ways that didn’t have a goal in itself. It could be the way itself; the means to explore .something new and unexpected.”
Zhestkov describes this realisation as a process of “personal and creative liberation.” By plugging into the ever-evolving and ever more advanced visualisation and rendering software he had available, he was able to explore spatiality, physics, visuals and mathematics in a way he hadn’t thought possible. He quickly became hooked.

Sea Plants by Mariko Kusumoto |
“From polyester, nylon, and cotton, Japanese artist and designer Mariko Kusumoto fabricates sculptural forms that resemble the creatures and everyday objects she finds most fascinating. She uses a proprietary heat-setting technique to mold the ubiquitous materials into undulating ripples, honeycomb poufs, and even tiny schools of fish that are presented in elegant and fanciful contexts. Whether a pastel coral reef or a fantastical bracelet filled with mushrooms, rosettes, and minuscule bicycles, Kusumoto’s body of work, which includes standalone objects and wearables, uses the ethereal qualities of the translucent fibers to make even the banalest forms appear like they’re part of a dream.” - via @Colossal

Nathaniel Rackowe |
Nathaniel Rackowe (b. 1975)
Rackowe’s work is designed to recreate the experience of navigating the city around us. His works are abstracted impressions of today's metropolitan experience evoked through the vicissitudes of light as it fluctuates throughout the city. Influenced by Modernism, film and video games, Rackowe uses the mass-manufactured derivative products of the modernist era - glass, corrugated plastics, concrete, scaffolding, breeze blocks and strip lights - to recreate the collective experience and visual sensations of urban contemporary life, while incorporating a deeply personal emotional response to flowing through built space.
GP04
The second semester of 2021 is lined up with exciting projects for Rackowe: used to working in the public sphere, the artist has a new commission for the Canary Wharf outdoor sculpture exhibition with Brooke Bennington, “On the Other Hand”, from the 26th of August to the 12th of November 2021. The show will explore notions of revival and value, bringing together a group of contemporary sculptors who incorporate - or use as their starting point - found and human-made objects.
Later in the year, Nathaniel will exhibit new works with FOLD Gallery, the London-based gallery bringing UK based and international artists together. Also this year, the Art Design Lebanon will include one of Rackowe’s works for a group show in Beirut. And in November from the 10th to the 14th, the Lichtfestival Gent will include an outdoor light installation from the new MTArt Agency artist.
Pathfinding London
“It’s really exciting to be joining the MTArt Agency roster of artists. Marine and her team have a unique approach to supporting and growing the artist, while finding wide ranging ways to bring their work to the public eye. The breath of their engagement perfectly meshes with my diverse art practice, with so many fascinating ideas for where this new collaboration may lead.”
Rackowe’s public art projects are completely aligned with MTArt Agency’s vision for the public sphere which is working towards providing everyone with access to art whilst investing in local communities and allowing artists to broadcast their artistic stories to inspire as many people as possible. Nathaniel Rackowe is part of a new breed of established artists (like Robert Montgomery, Walter and Zoniel, among others) who believe in the agency’s values and efforts to change the industry, and were attracted by our recent growth - as highlighted in this article on The Art Newspaper.
“What a dream to bring Nathaniel Rackowe on board, for the past twenty years he has proven that conceptual art could be integrated into the public realm. Bringing artists with this level of credibility is a dream come true for me as a founder”

Opening The Future by Joanna Grochowska |
Buried, Joanna Grochowska
Joanna Grochowska is a contemporary artist exploring trans-humanism and human enhancement technologies.
Her work contributes to the dialogue about morphological freedom and the future.
The conceptual basis of her art are the notions of Transgression and Singularity.
An artist defines herself as a Project.
Opening the Future constitutes an immensely powerful and sophisticated body of work, which pursues the aim of exploring new post-human figurativeness. The dominant theme addresses the subject of transgressive corporality and encompasses the contexts of future, morphological freedom and human enhancement technologies.
The logical and inevitable progress of technology evolution implies the emergence of new paradigms of gender, body and identity. The body becomes a symptom of the unnatural, edited and superior life form, posing a question of the possible shift of ethical lines and a change in definition of what is human.
Opening the Future extends the discourse of the Post Human, a visionary series of exhibitions curated by Jeffrey Deitch in 1992, which manifested the embrace of artificiality and projected the role of artists beyond redefining art; towards redefining life. The work of Joanna Grochowska integrates with the concepts of human enhancement technologies, the ideas of Elon Musk, Raymond Kurzweil and Jennifer Doudna, awarded the Nobel Prize for the development of a revolutionary genome editing method; seeking the new aesthetics of the future.

The exhibition Opening the Future is presented at the Storpunkt Gallery Munich; on view until August 7, 2021 every Thursday to Saturday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. The general corona rules apply.

Roman Casus |
Russian artist Roman Casus explores conflicts, politics, nudity and anonymity. Painting allows him to impart these digital phantoms with a substance.
“I observer the digital stream. The modern content delivery methods such as instant posting and live broadcasts, allow viewer to be in the epicenter of events without physical participation. I construct my own stories based on these impressions. Painting allows me to impart these digital phantoms with a substance.
Sketches for my works are assembled from digital artifacts. I produce digital manipulations with fragments of news, videos, and live broadcasts. I combine contradictory elements to deconstruct the original narrative.
While creating painting I combine figurative and abstract painting. Elements of realism make works plausible. But random deformations, cropping of forms, breaking of space, and color distortions make the interpretation almost impossible. Each fragment dissolves its meaning within the frame. Blurring one image into another, one narrative into another, one way of seeing into another. Stories behind these forms capture the unpredictability and redundancy of reality.”

Robotica by Giuseppe Lo Schiavo |
The CG video ROBOTICA by Giuseppe Lo Schiavo is a 58 seconds animation inspired by contemporary theatre, combining elements from ancient greek culture, robotics, and digital art with a photorealistic visual aesthetic. Lo Schiavo is fascinated by some of the greatest masters of contemporary theatre and dance of the late twentieth century as well as by Bill Viola’s video art and Crypto Punks.
Despite robotic figures, the video is all about projecting humanity through technology and is inspired by artists such as Dimitris Papaioannou, Pina Bausch, and Bill Viola.
The performance is divided into three main scenes. They all manifest a particular feature of human socialisation.
The first dancing act is inspired by the idea of humans as a unique collective organism, a group of synergistically interacting organisms of the same species all working for the collective benefit. This view attains liberation from self and individualism.
ROBOTICA official release 30th June on @SuperRare x @AsteCambi

The second act is about domestication and the epigenetic principle that the environment also shapes part of our DNA. I like to believe that our personal choices and the information we absorb are stored in our epigenome and passed into future generations. So each choice has an impact on our society.
For the final act, the artist staged a procession, a celebration to express belongingness and community inspired by the ancient greek ceremonial Panathenaic festival rituals where people were marching on the streets of the ancient cities with their offerings. In this scene, the robots carry an original Cryptopunk sculpture created by the artist and made of 576-pixel boxes.
About the artist
Born in Italy, Lo Schiavo currently lives and works between London and Milan.
He studied architecture at La Sapienza University in Rome with a specialization in visual design.
Giuseppe Lo Schiavo is an award-winning visual artist based between London and Milan. His research is aiming to create a bridge between art and science. Using AI and machine learning, virtual reality, infrared systems, or microorganisms in the lab, the artist’s research often focuses on opposing elements: creation-destruction, past-future, analog-digital, real-virtual
