Alighiero Boetti, Artist
GAME PLAN
Boetti scratched his signature across the ridges of a sheet of corrugated cardboard with his fingernail, then cast the sheet in iron twice (making one regular and one mirror-image version). Language was a fundamental means of visual expression for the artist; here his signatures function as a double self-portrait. At this time, Boetti was becoming interested in the idea of twinning himself.

Kendall Buster, Artist
New Growth-Stratum Model- Kendall Buster Featured Artist Apr/May 2013
2009, Suyama space, Seattle Washington
New Growth: Stratum Model reflects a merging of the natural and the built environment. Designed to operate at once as landscape and architecture, the schematic of stacked planes seen from a bird’s eye view toggles between topography map and building in plan. There is an illusion from this vantage point that the form has been compressed into a single plane. But viewed in elevation or perspective these horizontal levels decompress and expand to suggest accessible spaces.

Untitled, from the series Little Nothing 1964-1966
Japanese paper

"When a friend appeared with a stack of rice paper, Schendel found both her medium and – in a sense – her message. Rice paper is there and not quite there, something on which you can paint but almost invisible in itself, a surface so diaphanous it is nearly transparent. Her Bordados(Embroideries) were made by laying rice paper on sheets of glass sprinkled with talc and ink and drawing on the paper with her fingernail. The effect is a Zen-like poetry of tiny marks – symbols, numbers and letters that nearly amount to words but stay just on this side of visual abstraction." -source is The Guardian
