Rebecca Hastings Art on ELLO
DCN Partners at ELLO Creative Network presents
Australian artist Rebecca Hastings "draws a line between the technological suffusion of first world childhood and environmental neglect .. The children in Hastings’ works are strangely ambiguous: simultaneously of this world and alien, contemporary and futuristic, childlike and ageless. They could be representations of the real, or they could be fantasy humans like those created in the digital quest for verisimilitude — the quest that has given us the term ‘uncanny valley’ to denote the point at which the synthetic human’s fine differentiation from the real causes abjection."

Los Terrenos by architect Tatiana Bilbao
For this new house project, Los Terrenos (The Terrains), Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao conceived a trio of small buildings (just under 2,200 square feet in total), each of which serves a specific function and emphasizes one of the three main materials in the project’s palette.
The largest of these, a structure covered in its entirety with a mirrored facade that contains an open living/dining/ kitchen space, allowing it to disappear into the surrounding vegetation; its peak-roofed profile mirrors those of the mountains, and concealed doors open the interior to the terrace beyond.

People Matching Artworks through the lens of Stefan Draschan
"France-based photographer Stefan Draschan always keeps himself entertained at art galleries by creating his own art projects. One of those projects is “People matching artworks”. Although at first Draschan’s images seem perfectly staged, the secret behind them is actually patience. The photographer enjoys visiting different museums mostly in Paris, Vienna and Berlin where he waits for visitors to suddenly match with a piece of art in a funny way. "
Maxim Zhestkov Launches on Sedition
Our friend and talented motion artist Maxim Zhestkov launches on our partners Digital Auction Platform Sedition Art
Ahead of the launch of Maxim Zhestkov’s first digital edition on Sedition, Elements, this October 2017, they interviewed the visual and motion graphic artist from his studio in Russia to discuss his surreal animations, his approach to his own work and its subsequent reception.
Elements is an experimental video work by Maxim Zhestkov, which explores nature, physics, art and love through digitally animated ‘particles’ or ‘elements’. More than two billion particles, governed by tensions and forces influenced by those occurring in nature were used to replicate the motion of collective behaviour. As well as patterns of motion, the particles tell stories and evince emotional responses.
The film is a trial by the artist to explore the idea that everything around us and inside us is made from simple elements or blocks, which can be arranged in complex relationships and become compound structures. It demonstrates that there is a relationship between the tiny and individual, and the enormous and multiple. The ideas the work explores brings together emotions, behaviours, thought processes, relationships, life, planets and the universe.

Sculptures by Massimiliano Pelletti
Massimiliano Pelletti was born in Pietrasanta, a land of noble sculptural roots that gave and gives a lot to the contemporary art. In Pietrasanta he also grown up, and he trained technically in the study of his grandfather, the sculptor Mario Pelletti. He made his debut as an artist in 2006 by winning the 12th biennial of young artists of Europe and the Mediterranean.
Pelletti makes experience of the shape with rigorous attention compositive, strictly consistent with the creative mood of his territory.
He puts togheter the mannerism with the conceptual relevance and the narrative sensibility, because he realizes that the aesthetic perfectionism contains in itself the conflicting root of the emotions.
Uncovers by Pol Kurucz
Pol Kurucz’s "Uncovers" photo series is a Franco-Russo-Brazilian co-production that pokes fun at conventional magazine covers. Rather than posing to sell, the Uncovers models follow their own aesthetic and behavioural norms to tell a colourful story. Uncovers wants the fashion-savvy crowds to reflect on conventionalism and the lack of freedom in the representation of women in commercial publications. The shootings took place in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo during Pol’s transition phase from the fine art world to the more polished and glamorous universe of fashion magazines. The series was a delicate balancing act between the amazement, the deep respect and the irony that the fashion industry inspires to the photographer. This unpublished photo series will be part of Pol Kurucz’s upcoming exhibitions
