Enlace-moi
Sound: Mardi
Apophenia, curated by Laura McLean-Ferris
French artist Céline Duval works with an archive of images amassed from personal albums, fleamarkets, magazines and newspapers. Often creating connections between images in books and slideshows under the name documetation céline duval, she has made a new work, Enlace-moi for artreview.com in the first on a series of works curated by Laura McLean-Ferris on the theme of apophenia — the habit of making connections where none necessarily exist.
The Artist in Residence page (formerly called the Project Space) on artreview.com is a unique (web)site-specific space for commissioned artworks by today’s most exciting emerging and established contemporary artists. We invite artists to create high-impact propositional, narrative, interactive, or text-and-image-based works in the form of slideshows, videos and animations — all to give pause in the fast-moving online environment.
Browse the archive below and click on a work to watch — and check out interviews with resident artists.

Jeff Gabel
10 November 2008Brooklyn-based artist Jeff Gabel draws and writes hyperanalytical and often scathing portraits of imaginary people (and of himself) that unfold exponentially and spontaneously across gallery walls and in dense detail on small wood panels. Here, Gabel started with the idea of working site-specifically for the Project Space, but things changed... Read more ›
Peter Garfield
27 October 2008Brooklyn-based artist Peter Garfield works in video, photography and installation to make riddles where layers of what we thought was reality peel off one by one, and we're made awkwardly aware of our political projections onto the field of vision. For the Project Space, Garfield presents images of his painterly piles of seasonally colour-coded trash. Read more ›
Tony Chakar
27 October 2008Beirut-based architect Tony Chakar's practice involves ways of thinking about the built environment that go beyond traditional architectural approaches, by incorporating literature, philosophy and theory. Chakar's project for artreview.com includes his own photographs and ruminations on Beirut, alongside amnesiac architectural plans for the reconstruction of the southern suburbs of the city. Read more ›
allsopp&weir
18 Sept 2008London-based duo allsopp&weir have been working together since 2003, producing videos, sound installations and performances that explore an ongoing fascination with repetition, language, struggle and collapse. For artreview.com the duo teamed up with Charlie Fuss – hence the title, Charlie’s Vision For a New World. Read more ›
Laura Buckley
18 Sept 2008London-based Irish artist Laura Buckley combines video and kinetic sculptures to create dreamlike environments with an industrial aesthetic. Her piece for the Project Space uses documentation of the recent installation Gasworks/Colourbox to transfer a sense of movement and the play of light from a three dimensional space onto an online platform. Read more ›
Tauba Auerbach
11 Sept 2008Bay Area artist Tauba Auerbach uses her graphical skills in a conceptual pursuit of hidden confluences - and glitches - in our system of signs and symbols. For the Project Space, she looks into the porous border between the analogue and digital realms. "Recently I have been collecting various instances of randomness," Auerbach says. "Both applause and static are phenomena that can go either in the totally uniform white noise direction or phase in and out of patterns and sync up into something placeable... Read more ›
Jacco Olivier
04 Aug 2008Dutch artist Jacco Olivier turns his paintings into animations, drawing on his local art history and landscape to produce dreamy non-stories, like this one he made for the Project Space. "It is about freeing up," Olivier says. "I was frustrated my paintings were too serious, too stiff. The animations added fun." Read more ›
Matt Keegan and Cody Trepte
24 July 2008Matt Keegan, a Future Great in ArtReview magazine this year, and fellow New York artist Cody Trepte, are both sensual conceptualists who enjoy giving ambivalent embodiment to complex ideas, scrambling codes and making language spatial, physical and — sometimes — transparent. They collaborated on this very revealing and self-reflexive Project Space, responding directly to the generic tech specs we give to artists, and turning the terms of the invitation back onto the work itself. Read more ›
Doug Fishbone
8 July 2008American artist Doug Fishbone ransacks Google Image Search to illustrate - and undermine - his arresting, repulsive and downright amusing monologues on the dregs of the media and our political (sub)life. For the Project Space on artreview.com, Fishbone made a new work considering the dubious nature of our very system of knowledge... Read more ›
Moriceau & Mrzyk
20 May 2008French duo Moriceau & Mrzyk present an adaption of their animation Looping for the Project Space. Most often Moriceau & Mrzyk just draw, often directly on gallery walls, but here they demonstrate their equal aptitude for the moving image (they've made beguiling music videos for Air and hop hop artist Katerine). The spirit is the same throughout: a rampant imagination, an anonymous and scathing wit, looping surrealism... Read more ›
Kim Waldron
30 April 2008The young Canadian artist Kim Walrdon had her childhood meticulously documented by her father on his cine- and video- cameras, and – often simultaneously – by her mother's choreographed photographs. Nothing unusual about this, except for the Capturing the Friedmans-esque vast quantity of the material. Waldron, whose photographic practice has always been concerned with self-portraiture-through-others, recently plunged into the enormous family archive and found many moments where her mother and father's documentation overlapped. (Here are some more). I had an instant message chat with Waldron about what this meant to her about her family – and about video and photography. Read more ›
Amy Granat and Drew Heitzler
17 April 2008Video and film artists Amy Granat and Drew Heitzler present in the Project Space this week an evocative excerpt from T.S.O.Y.W., a highlight at this year's Whitney Biennial. Named after Goethe's cult epistolary novel The Sorrows of Young Werther, (1774), the film tracks in split screen – one is Granat's, one Heitzler's – a modern day Werther (or perhaps a 1970s version) on a lonesome motorcycle ride through the terrifyingly sublime landscapes of the American west. In the clip, we see Werther arriving at Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty (1970). Interview by James Westcott. Read more ›
Tommy Hartung
14 April 2008Tommy Hartung is a New York based artist who first came to our attention with his video The Story of Edward Holmes, a disorienting stop-motion tale of a colonial expedition, told in a deceptively comforting storybook-style. Hartung is working on an extrapolation of the story, and we see a foretaste of this in his Project Space work, edward holmes & the family tree... Read more ›
Dorothy Yoon
4 April 2008
artreview.com: Can you introduce yourself and your practice?
Dorothy Yoon: I am a London-based Korean artist, which means I can take advantage of being between Western and Asian cultures. I was born in 1976 in Busan, the second largest city in Korea. Since relocation in the UK after my second MA degree, at Goldsmiths, I have developed my current photographic works, which have been exhibited in London, China and Korea. However, I think of myself as a multimedia artist. Read more ›
Takuji Kogo
17 March 2008
artreview.com: Can you introduce yourself and your practice?
Takuji Kogo: I'm running my curatorial / collaborative projects under the name of *Candy Factory Projects for both online and in exhibition spaces. I first started an alternative gallery space in Yokohama, Japan. Since I closed the space I have been working with several institutions to organize exhibitions and produce Internet projects. I have also worked with publishing artists books and audio works. More recently I initiated the Kitakyushu Biennial, which is really just a continuation of these projects. Read more ›
Amina Bech
10 March 2008This week, Amina Bech presents her dramatic widescreen images of a very derelict warehouse in Norway. We first encountered the images here on artreview.com and Bech is the first member of the site to be featured in the Project Space. We're on the lookout for more... Read more ›
Uri Aran
4 March 2008This week's Project Space artist, Uri Aran, is based in New York and works with video, sculpture and drawing – but you wouldn't know it from his cryptic website, which contains nothing but an image (a video still?) of someone hugging a dog. His video/slideshow Pole Vault is equally mysterious, containing hidden charms... Read more ›
Young-hae Chang Heavy Industries

Miltos Manetas
19 February 2008Miltos Manetas is a a digital artist and schemer who also keeps a hand in more classical activities, such as painting (he makes huge paintings of Mardenesque loops and curls, though his pieces are simple depictions of loosely tangled USB cords). This is all part of Manetas's regime of self-regeneration, which leaves him free to pick and peck at ideas and roles like a magpie. When we asked him to contribute some work to the Project Space, he had no hesitation in reconfiguring his 2003 classic, Jackson Pollock.org. Read more ›
The Errorists
13 February 2008This week's Project Space artists, The Errorists, are Hilary Koob-Sassen on visuals and vocals, and master cellist Andreas Köhler from Germany. In this clip, The Errorists introduce themselves in preparation for their new album and accompanying film in which they lay out their proposals in their full. Read more ›
Darren Bader
4 February 2008Darren Bader is a young New York artist who traffics in (perhaps) random images, lo-fi conceptual art (like letters to museums making knowingly futile proposals to do bizarre things like pin a sandwich next Balthus's The Mountain at the Met), and sculpture of the voila variety. I had an IM chat with Bader about his work for the artreview.com Project Space... Read more ›
Cory Arcangel
29 January 2008artreview.com asked the digital appropriationist, pop-media protagonist, trash-technology koan-maker Cory Arcangel, notorious for hacking old Nintendo game cartridges to produce a slow and super-surreal Mario world, to make some work for the Project Space on our homepage. We sent him a demo version of the Project Space that our web developer had made, just so he could get an idea of the space. Here's what Cory said. (And here's his website.) Read more ›
Lu Hao
15 January 2008The Chinese artist Lu Hao returned to the traditional techniques he'd learned at the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts to make a staggeringly detailed and comprehensive record of every building, park, junction, storefront and empty space on Beijing's rapidly developing Chang' An Street. It's a super-long timed exposure in paint, knowingly out of date before completion. artreview.com emailed Lu Hao a few questions about this process... Read more ›
Nedko Solakov

Per Hüttner
26 November 2007The Swedish photographer and occasional performance artist Per Hüttner, who lives in Paris, talks about how Goya, dreams, and "something extremely humane" informs his photos on display in the Project Space. Read more ›
