SELECTED PRESS

Rachel de Joode, the Berlin-based multimedia artist talks about her new works on show at London’s ANNKA KULTYS GALLERY, interviewed by Olivia Gavoyannis. De Joode says that when she views art in person, she sometimes moves closer out of reflex. “Phones are almost a prosthetic for the way we look at art… we now have to move around [artwork] in order to activate the kinds of zooming in and out we could easily accomplish on a screen,” she says. →

Artforum has mentioned Rachel de Joode’s installation as a “standout piece” at the group show That Time in Reykjavik . The exhibition features the works of about 50 artists, both local and international, and aims to erode boundaries between art and music through a strong focus on interdisciplinary practices and collaboration. →
