Adam Pendleton
Installation view, Belgian Pavilion, 56th Venice Biennale
http://adampendleton.net/
Adam Pendleton (b. 1984, Richmond, Virginia) is a conceptual artist known for his multi-disciplinary practice, which moves fluidly between painting, publishing, photographic collage, video and performance. His work centers on an engagement with language, in both the figurative and literal senses, and the re-contextualization of history through appropriated imagery to establish alternative interpretations of the present and, as the artist has explained, “a future dynamic where new historical narratives and meanings can exist.”

Steven B. Smith
http://www.stevesmithphotography.net/
"Steven B. Smith‘s Close to Nature and The Weather and a Place to Live “chronicle the transition of the Western landscape into suburbia.” They are studies of the ridiculous ways that man interacts with nature, by turn extraordinarily strange, funny and depressing in their bleakness. The man-meets-nature-and-produces-weirdness thing is not exactly uncommon, but I think Smith has a very keen compositional eye and does not go for the obvious subjects, often focusing in on the more easily overlooked details. A great trip into American suburbia that makes you want to go back for more but to never, ever live there."

The dandy, 2010

"As an image-maker I am foremost interested in storytelling or in the least, a certain implication of narrative." "I am also interested in the idea of nostalgia, folklore, the folk hero, archetypes in film and literature, and the traditions and sagas of different cultures around the world."—Toby Thane

The work of Casper Heijkenskjold, a danish designer currently doing an internship at Sagmeister's office in NY— is insightful and at timesinterested in inspiring a reflection upon the rol of design in society. "I see the process of communicating visually as a way to explore new paths and a way to get to know myself and the world around me better. It enables me to think about how things are connected and to have fun while I am here."

Bela Borsodi
http://www.belaborsodi.com/
—In still life photography, every thing can be investigated in so many more and different ways. There are endless possibilities and each one of them has the potential to eventually change our perspective.
—It’s about playing with lots of objects all the time and trying things out, as long as it’s fun and worthwhile. I’m finished with a project when I’m happy with it and that’s when it all falls together and makes sense. The only purpose to reach an end is to finish a project - but it is really not that important to find all the answers. What is really interesting are the questions because they make you try things out, make you think and investigate. The process is what’s interesting and that can lead you to situations and possibilities that you couldn’t have anticipated. The results are then also a documentation of that process.
—If I can manage to have real joy with my projects this can likely also communicate my excitement to other people and perhaps inspire. That’s what I really want to share: humor, obsession, intelligence, curiosity, making an effort…
Interviewed by Pingmag.
Bela Borsodi was born in Vienna and has lived and worked in New York City since the early 1990s. He studied fine art and graphic design and often incorporated photography in his projects. His work offers a surreal imagery that makes clothing and accessories 3-dimensional. His “Foot Fetish” story for V Magazine received both negative and positive responses, which ended up sparking discussions on how the female body is sexualized and objectified in fashion and in art.

Untitled (Hair) 2008. Artificial hair, cart.
—My work explores perceptions of beauty and horror, comfort and discomfort. I use anatomical and medical imagery as a point of departure to explore these dualities and our ambivalence towards the human body. This juxtaposition creates a response that fluctuates between seduction and repulsion, comfort and alienation.— Laura Splan is a New York based mixed media artist. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from the University of California, Irvine where she originally studied Biological Sciences. She received her Master of Fine Art in Sculpture from Mills College in Oakland, CA.

An idiosyncratic dress pattern takes a viral turn, generating a dreamlike virtual space beyond the sleeping figure it engulfs as it threatens to move beyond the paper.—Gonorthgallery.
"The painted and collaged patterns act as a form of camouflage to hide and protect the body. These detailed patterned spaces are often psychologically charged, dealing with issues of control, power, entrapment and escape."
