The Mediated Image: Simon Denny, Laeh Glenn, and Christopher Williams
Altman Siegel is pleased to present The Mediated Image, an exhibition including work by Simon Denny, Laeh Glenn and Christopher Williams. The artists in the exhibition facilitate images with varying methods, examining infrastructures including cyberspace, technology and advertising to reflect present relationship models and their role shaping global culture. While Simon Denny and Laeh Glenn conceptually organize their work through a consideration of post-internet imagery, Williams engages the history of photography and the politics of display. Like Denny and Glenn, Williams mirrors the structures of his chosen medium in conversation with his subjects, drawing attention toward image production and dissemination. Exuding a mediated stillness and once-removed disposition, Williams' work remains highly influential in its intuitive formal qualities-similarities shared with a younger generation of artists across disparate mediums.

Untitled (Beauty, happiness at ground level. A carpet of pure new wool embellishes everything that it touches. If you have never seen your furniture on a beautiful carpet, then you have never seen it. If you have never walked barefoot, in your house, on the softness of wool, then you are ignoring a great pleasure. Because a good carpet, of true, vibrant, natural wool, makes life more beautiful. Strict laboratory tests have verified all the qualities of the velvet, 100% pure new wool carpets that merit the Woolmark label: purity, strength, comfort, sound- and thermal-insulation, resistance of colors, non-inflammability, easy maintenance, permanent moth-proof treatment. Choosing a carpet is a serious matter. A matter of happiness. So, always check the Woolmark label. You will be certain to have a carpet of 100% pure new wool. You will be certain that you are making the best business. In pure new wool, it's a real carpet. Ask for Woolmark.) Studio Rhein Verlag, Dusseldorf February 29, 2016, 2016
