These stoneware sculptures by New York based ceramicist and artist Ebitenyefa Baralaye are so beautiful in material and shape – and love the woody look (big surprice!). His work focuses on issues of identity through abstraction and his imaginative interests lead to creative explorations from an early age and ultimately to a committed dedication to the arts.

Une garde-robe pour mon ombre
Canadian artist Amélie Brisson-Darveau traces her friends’ shadows to make patterns for clothing that she tailors afterwards. The clothes are lying as dismembred bodies or cartographies on the floor. A lightning system
allows the visitor to cast his/her shadow on the clothes in order to
suit them. Inspired from dance, this work is a research about stillness
and movement and about play between absence and presence. I'm a fan!

100 posterworks
Anna Gray and Ryan Wilson Paulsen are two people who structure their
lives around reading, writing, and talking; making various kinds of art;
and playing with their son. With the project 100 posterworks they address philosophical questions, comment on
political or artistic issues, quote, complain, poke fun and indirectly
document our lives.

Everyday Objects
The Turkey-born, Hamburg-based artist, Sakir Gökçebag, keeps his selection of objects limited. His work is more about the possible varieties and arrangements that he creates out of these objects. By cutting the objects in pieces and bringing these pieces together in an impossible setting, he totally changes the context of the object. Through his obsessive preciseness he creates optical illusions. Cutting out shoes, boots, brooms, brushes, baskets, Gökcebag demonstrates his humorous approach, but his sincerity in searching the possibilities results in a certain fascination. Check his website for much more! Via Trendland.

Two or One
Reality or fiction? That's the question Czech artist and photographer Tereza Vlčková asks in the series Two, where she placed computer
generated clones amongst biological twins. It is then up to us and our imagination to
judge the genuineness of the photos and analyze their likeness. I'm not sure which are for real and which are clones, but I know for sure that I would run very fast if I meet the girls in the first or second photo a dark, rainy night – they are really eerie!
