Congratulations to our gallery artist Jackie Mulder on the publication of her new monograph ‘Thought Trails’. ⁠
⁠
This is Mulder’s first artist book and will be available in both hardcover and special edition format.⁠
⁠
Jackie Mulder has been working on the series ‘Thought Trails’ since 2020. This project blends photography with mixed media art in a way that challenges and expands the boundaries of the medium. In this project, Mulder’s innovative approach to art begins with self-made photographs or a combination of multiple images. She then embarks on a process of deconstruction and reconstruction, resulting in unique, multilayered, and tactile artworks that invite the viewer to reconsider the very nature of photography itself.⁠

She lives and works in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

We looking forward to working with Danish artist, Susanne Wellm – now represented by Taste Contemporary – on her upcoming exhibition [with Akiko Hirai] at the gallery.

Since the 1990s, Wellm has explored and merged a number of photographic techniques. Wishing to return to a material-led approach and be reminded of why she was originally drawn to photography, she recently developed a technique that combines photography and weaving. ‘I could see that my background as a textile designer would show me a path back to more craft-oriented, tactile work’ she explains. ‘I started with some small textile and photographic experiments and eventually began weaving my prints.’

Time, memory and the construction of narrative are ever-present themes in her work. Her starting point is a vast archive of found imagery from old family albums, historical movie stills and original captures. Through these, Wellm draws connecting lines between the personal dramas of everyday life and the collective history and trauma of modern Europe.

Susanne Wellm is a graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Architecture, Design and Conservation. She has exhibited widely and is represented in several museum collections.
