Pornalikes
Piotr Uklanski
Zurich: Edition Patrick Frey, 2018.Piotr Uklanski’s Untitled (Pornalikes), 2002-12 was first presented as part of the exhibition Piotr Uklanski: Czterdziesci i sztery, Zacheta Natoinal Gallery of Art, Warsaw, 2019. “Pornalikes is a book of portraits with a difference. Culling his materials from a 2002-2018 photo archive of porn actors who resemble or actually even portray celebrities and public figures, Polish artist Piotr Uklanski (born 1968) draws on men’s magazines such as Hustler and Loaded, as well as meme-culture material from websites and blogs, to assemble this challenging take on portraiture and celebrity . In Pornalikes Uklanski subverts the original expectations of traditional art-historical portraiture, exploring the pop-cultural tensions between sexual identity and exploitation, man and woman, fiction and reality and challenging both easy moral parameters and good taste. Pornalikes picks up where his cult series The Nazis and Real Nazis, also published by Edition Patrick Frey, left off.” (publisher’s blurb)

Garbage Man
Tal R
[Zurich]: Nieves and innen, 2021.“Garbage Man — could refer to Tal R himself as manic collector of what other people would perhaps refer to as refuse. Collecting and arranging of images is an integral component of his artistic practice and arises in its own manifestation from an inner necessity. The Yiddish word “Kolbojnik” (Waste, Remains) also runs through the work of the artist within the titling of many of his works. His collection, which can be found within the individual collages, consists of an eclectic mix of “primitive tribal art”, art history masterpieces, pornos, comics, private photos, childhood pictures, sketches and picture book illustrations, and was collected by Tal R over a period of 25 years. The works evoke in their pseudo-encyclopaedic phenomenon associations, Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas, or, to refer to another artist, the Atlas by Gerhard Richter. Similar to him, the arranged pieces within the collages from Garbage Man served and serve the artist also as templates for paintings and sculptures.” (publisher’s blurb)
