Teresita Dennis
Teresitsa Dennis uses opposite colours to create a vibration in pattern. They look like something sinister you might find in a petri dish.. luxurious insects all stuck together

Dennis uses her hands directly to make a first series of marks, then works back into the spaces in between with a brush. In Wanting we see a repeated black shape — something like a heart or a woman’s bottom — with clear indentations where Dennis’s fingers have smeared their way through the paint. The gaps are edged with reds, oranges and yellows; the overall effect suggests smouldering embers, something frighteningly hot.

Neo Rauch
Neo Rauch (born 18 April 1960, in Leipzig, East Germany) is a German artist whose monumental paintings mine the intersection of his personal history with the politics of industrial alienation. His work reflects the influence of socialist realism, and owes a debt to Surrealists Giorgio de Chirico and René Magritte, although Rauch hesitates to align himself with surrealism. He studied at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig, and he lives in Leipzig (Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei), Germany and works as the principal artist of the New Leipzig School.
"When I first agreed to do the Met exhibition, I thought about a way of working that would be about the nature of a museum. But straight away I realized that I was much more interested in those "visions from the Witches Circle" in my studio than I was in coming up with things in a purely thematic way. Calling them "visions" reflects my personality—they precede inspiration and spring from the moment when internal images appear at the prompting of intellectual decisions. I have no choice but to accept everything that I discover in this way" - Rauch

there is no where to make things
Today I cycled round the city trying to find a building where I am meant to have a studio. When I found it I did not have a studio. I have a class meeting next tuesday. I'm not going though. The last one made no sense. I don't want to be in the class anyway. There is no where to make things. So I am making things on a video camera. But it's not really good enough. I saw a students work, he hid in trees to see if anyone noticed as they walked past below. People don't look up that often.
