Tony Oursler:  Imponderable

Oursler creates 5-D images that allow the viewer to plunge into the experience.  His pieces are influenced by “mysticism, psychedelia, popular culture, and media history,” and surrealism.  The film characters, as well as story, that is similar to his own history.

Nan Goldin:  The Ballad of Sexual Dependency

The artist, Nan Goldin, elaborates the hidden life between the sheets.  Her emphasis is on the sex, drugs, and violence no one thinks about.  However, she also contradicts them by showing the relationship between children, as well as dancing and other activities.  It appeared to me that she is playing with the idea of the forms of pleasure and pain.

Teiji Furuhashi:  Lovers

An interactive room, Teiji has created the images of embrace and motion.  The computer generated figures never touch though.  When you walk into the room, the loop on the figures resets, creating a new experience for each viewer.

Merz was a follower of the avant-garde movement, which aided her in the creation of this collection.  She tends to use metal tin, wire, clay, and many other things to make soft waves with sharp corners.
