Barcelona-based artist Max de Esteban, takes us back-to-the-future with his latest project Proposition One, where he meticulously deconstructs the cutting edge technology of yesterday. The cameras, tape decks, typewriters and projectors—all tools of used in the creation and dissemination of visual and sound art—are shot layer-by-layer and photographically reassembled. The result is retro-chic, x-ray-like artworks displaying an evocative look into the inner workings and complex designs of these devices. The Artist Reception for Max de Esteban’s Proposition One is Thursday, November 3rd, from 6–9, the exhibit will be on view through December 9th at Klompching Gallery, New York City.

With her newly released work of Doppelgänger II, Cornelia Hediger continues her exploration of the uncanny, constructing complex pictorial narratives into segmented tableau vivants, consisting of up to eighteen individual photographs combined into a single composition. In each artwork the central characters—doppelgängers—are interwoven into a performative psychological struggle, displaying an undercurrent of the sinister, of angst and moral ambiguity. Hediger was selected as one of PDN’s 30 in 2009. The artist reception for Doppelgänger II is Wednesday, September 7th, from 6–8pm, the exhibit will be on view through October 21st at Klompching Gallery in New York.

“Donna J. Wan does literally put us “In the Landscape.” How we look or how we see is at the heart of this work. Man’s presence is important in this work because it provides us with a sense of scale, the way in which we are dwarfed by the enormity of Nature. She gets it right. Seeing from the photographer’s distant point of view we share that smallness, like little specks of humanity, flies on the wall … of a mountain”.— W.M. Hunt

Donna J. Wan, Ahron D. Weiner, Skott Chandler and Harold Ross will be exhibiting in Klompching Gallery’s FRESH exhibition, co-curated by W.M. Hunt and Darren Ching. The exhibition launches with an opening reception on Thursday July 21, 6pm—8pm and continues through to August 13.
