Vienna based photographer Lukas Gansterer is the author of the
provocative 2009 photo campaign for the Austrian fashion label Wendy &
Jim & DJ HELL. His work combines realness, acrimony and aesthetic,
fast-forwarding imaginative boundaries.

Porn aesthetics play a vital role in his work. As its name suggests,
this new solo exhibition focuses on the fetish of playing with milk.
In addition to the large scale photographs, the gallery space also
becomes an integral part of the work itself by being covered in
polythene sheets.

30 lx or ‘30 lux’ is the minimum light intensity required by the Buildings Department’s Code of Practice for the Provision of Means of Escape. Constructed using low cost materials, devoid of any ornamentation, these compulsory means of escape are perhaps the purest examples of entropic architecture. Virgile Simon Bertrand’s photographic studies draw attention to an inadvertent phenomenon, how despite the common genesis of these architectural features, each offers subtle but surprising structural variations that give rise to an elegantly minimal formal vocabulary.

The Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild offers month long Artist in Residence (AIR) opportunities for visual artists, composers, playwrights/screenwriters, and writers of fiction, nonfiction and poetry. Longer residencies are available for ceramic artists. The AIR sessions generally occur during the months of June, July, August, and September. Our goal is to provide solitude in a community and uninterrupted time in which to concentrate on creative work alongside fellow artists.

Opened in 1903, the Byrdcliffe Art Colony was placed on the National Register of Historic Sites in 1979 for its architectural and historical significance. It is located in the Catskill Mountains, 1.5 miles from the center of Woodstock, New York.

This collective brings together a multitude of imaginary landscapes with haunted scenes, massive architectural structures invaded by wicked nature, visions of overcrowded or devastated cities, brick walls in desolated areas, and artificially created parks and communities. Combined they depict personal interpretations of a sprawling world and
evidence of the need for a space for reflection amidst the bewilderment generated by our surroundings.
