Lauren Kelley's stop-motion animation video "Get the Bones from 88 Jones: Because She Also Eats Meat" was shown
on the wall of La B.A.N.K. (Bank Galerie France ) on the tiniest of screens, but the originality and humor caught my
stop-motion-animation-loving eye. Using dolls and claymation, Kelley explores stereotypes of femininity and race in
a demanding and oversexed world. Kelley breathes life into plastic characters, a world in which dolls and puppets are
caught in endless streams of consciousness and are trapped in a bizarre theater of the absurd.
Kelley currently lives and works in Houston, Texas.

I enjoyed this "Dust and Beast" piece from Steven Tabbutt,
even more impressive was the nice framing job, to go with
the beastly brown.

PETER KOGLER

Working on the fringes of decorative and digital art,
Peter Kogler's synthetic motifs are drawn from a universe of
electronic culture (tubular forms, lines of ants, capsules, bulbs, etc),
equally at home printing, painting or doing large-scale installations
c/o Mitterand-Sanz Zürich
