Leonora Hamill - Art in Progress (2009-12)
Artist’s statement:
“Art in Progress is an exploration of art schools across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.
I photograph empty studios in art schools marked with the richness of the activities undertaken by the students. These images, shot with a large format camera and printed analogically, are intentionally detailed, frontal and neutral. They invite the spectator to enter the studios in these schools and observe the freshly used tools of the trade which are perceived as traces that indicate, or allow us to imagine, the artistic experimentations that take place there.”
Sasha vom Dorp
Sasha vom Dorp is an artist who works with vibrations. In his most recent series, Sound Bending Light, vom Dorp explores the dynamic interplay of light, sound and water. To create this series he made a machine that would bring all these elements together. As he describes the series,
“These photographs aim to capture the beauty and turmoil that occurs inside the most pedestrian events. Sunlight bounces on water; sound waves march toward oblivion.”

Windswept by Charles Sowers
Art installation fixed outside a gallery’s wall, displaying natural flow and turbulence of the wind - via dezeen:
Hundreds of spinning blades reveal the invisible patterns of the wind in American artist Charles Sowers’ kinetic installation on the facade of the Randall Museum in San Francisco.
The installation, titled Windswept, consists of 612 rotating aluminium weather vanes mounted on an outside wall. As gusts of wind hit the wall, the aluminium blades spin not as one but independently, indicating the localised flow of the wind and the way it interacts with the building.
“Our ordinary experience of wind is as a solitary sample point of a very large invisible phenomenon,” said Sowers. “Windswept is a kind of large sensor array that samples the wind at its point of interaction with the Randall Museum building and reveals the complexity and structure of that interaction.”
