RERO (France) - Extra-Muros A text exists only through the interaction that it creates with its interlocutor and/or the context in which it operates. RERO has established his work through his innovative approach to street art. Though introduced to the street through graffiti, working for a time under the name Aurer, he eventually felt limited by a spray can. He then began exploring imagery through the use of typography, while retaining the same values of graffiti. With his distinctive visual style, RERO often inhabits disused and dilapidated spaces to explore the concept of “negation of the image,” presenting minimalist statements that combat our modern overdose on images and messages. He achieves this through the use of words and phrases with a stark black line crossing them out. RERO is artist in Residence at Studio 13/16 of Centre Pompidou from April 13 to 21.

Anastasia Mastrakouli (Greece) - Naked Silhouette Alphabet Anastasia Mastrakouli is a Greek photographer and  student of Fine Arts and Cinematography at Ionian University, Greece. Her photo Series “Naked Silhouette Alphabet” was accomplished by having the model press herself against a pane of wet glass.

Tumblr Monday 80 Fred Eerdekens (b.1951, Belgium) - A very short story - with a lot of fiction in the middle - and something real in the end. Copper, light, 96 x 4 x 8 in. (2005) Entering the artistic space of Fred Eerdekens places the spectator in a semantic landscape in which what one had thought of as stable meanings are continually twisted and turned. What better way to figurize this than by letting the spectators themselves ‘twist and turn’ in trying to make sense of the objects. In spiralling around the objects, they in fact become direct figures of the play of logic that rules the objects. After the linguistic turn, and in the wake of post-structuralist thought, the topography of our mental landscapes has become increasingly intricate. The work of Fred Eerdekens attests to this fact and it provides a conceptual map of this, in many places still unknown territory (Hanjo Berressem, “Differentials and diffractors. Objects by Fred Eerdekens”) Many thanks to showslow for this Tumblr Monday to share with us one of her favorites contemporary visual artists Fred Eerdekens!
