    Published in The Guardian, November 2004

    In a painting, the smallest things matter, the most cursory little incident. What gets better and better in Dumas’s work is the tension between the articulated and those other areas she passes over in silence, or falls into uncouth passages of collided strokes and rubbings-out, the places where the painting suddenly fumbles.

    Published in The Guardian, The Guide, November 2004

    Known for her depiction of bodies - often strippers or prostitutes - the work of Amsterdam-based painter Marlene Dumas has always been haunted by the evanescence of the flesh and the possibility of redeeming it through painting.

  • Beyond Words ~ Francis McKee

    Published in Parkett, 2004 ( No. 71 )

    Banner’s new work simply gives us objects instead of words; the objects evoke a visceral and physical response through their lines and form. Fighter planes, like many modern weapons, are fetishized; in military magazines there is normally it centerfold image of a jet, a feature which echoes the layout of pornography publications.

    Published in Sculpture, 2004 ( 23 p. 28-33 )

    Penone’s works demonstrate a persistent commitment to the Arte Povera obsession with the body and nature. His actions of the ‘60s and early ‘70s uniquely combined humanist empiricism with a sense of craft, a European artisanal approach crossed with avant-garde actions.

    Published in International Herald Tribune, 12-Jun-04

    The artist appears to have reached down to touch upon certain fundamentals, and to have come up with a highly original mutation of this deeper, hidden culture. As a result, his work is touched with the rays of various newly developing ideas concerning the fundamental human experience of time, memory and the transitory.

  • Look into the Artist’s Eyes, those Mirrors of the Soul ~ Harry Eyres

    Published in Financial Times, 6 June 2004

    (Penone’s sculptures are) strangely moving - as if they were human sculptures that laid bare all the stages of growth from embryo to adulthood. Moving also is the contrast of massive strength and fragility, and the overriding sense of time and finality: they are autopsies of once living things.

  • Sight, Sin and Redemption ~ Nicole Davis

    Published in Artnet, June 2004

    Dumass painterly quality is so sensuous that it furthers the hunger for her images. She is a self proclaimed Abstract Expressionist Painter working very quickly by moving the viscous mixture of paint and thinner across the canvas creating an almost blurred and diaphanous sensation, reminiscent of Michaux and Richter.

  • An Artist with Symbols in his Eyes ~ Richard Dorment

    Published in The Telegraph, 5 May 2004

    So how do you look at work by Penone? The answer is: not as an objet d’art but as a process, and not as an act of creation but as an act of revelation. In a famous early piece, which is being shown in several variations in Penone’s magnificent retrospective in the Centre Pompidou in Paris, he took a beam of lumber, then carved into it until he exposed the trunk and branches of the sapling which, unbelievably, still retained their original shape even after the mature tree had been felled, sawn, and planed for sale.

    Published in The Independent, The Information, 3 April 2004

    One of a new generation of emerging British artists, Anna Barriball often produces time-inflected art: a grid of coloured candles are allowed to burn away until there is nothing left but puddles of wax and wick, which she then christens with titles such as Nine Hours and One Minute. We know exactly what happened when we weren’t looking.

    Published in The Independent, 10 February 2004

    John Riddy has always been concerned with the poetics of space, with the relationship between photography and architecture, spatial illusion and dreaming. His interiors and landscapes, along with the cityscapes he photographs, are devoid of human presence. Whether they are brightly lit offices or a shepherd’s hovel in the arid plains of South Africa, they represent the traces of human presence, the evidence that we leave of our various lives.

    The paintings incorporate the random and arbitrary… within a practice that nonetheless requires finical accuracy; there is a degree of almost mindless repetition and filling in involved, but the resulting forms are unpredictable and uncategorizable.

    Published in Art in America, January 2004

    (Apfelbaums) installation at the ICA was glorious, perhaps the most beautiful midcareer survey I’ve ever seen. The earlier, more object-insistent works were upstairs, with tour of the artist’s major, room-filling floor assemblages of cut and dyed fabric occupying the ground floor. To cap it off, Apfelbaum introduced an audacious new piece as an architecturally unifying gesture by covering the walls that form the two-story atrium space with wallpaper patterned in stacks of 1-inch monochrome ovals, open in their centers like zeros.

  • The Dilation of Attention ~ Carol Armstrong

    Published in Artforum, January 2004

    The dilation practiced in Horsfield’s large black-and-white work is a magnification of the reduced minutiae of the photograph until they pass through the looking glass and take on the breadth of the shadowy wall, the support surface on which pictures, including photographs, are suspended in time. And this dilation is an extension and maximization of the equivalence between the surfaces of silver-coated paper and animal hide, fabric fiber, skin grain, not to mention the viscosity of the human gaze, to the point that the transparency of the photograph gives way, not to a single, reductive opacity, but to an expansive meeting between materialities.
