In the Studio Robin Kid, Rambouillet, France

Robin Kid works with images that feel less made than encountered. Cowboys, cops, fragments of cartoon Americana: images that existed long before he picked them up, suspended somewhere between memory and mass culture. Raised in the south of the Netherlands by his grandparents, in a former mining neighbourhood bordering an American army base, he grew up with the idea of the U.S. glowing faintly from the other side of the fence.

In the Studio Megan Plunkett, Los Angeles, CA

American artist Megan Plunkett turns away from depicting people, instead focusing on everyday objects. Drawn from consumer culture, and the film industry, her carefully constructed photographic series cultivate a sense of estrangement within things that might otherwise feel familiar.

Collector Stories Birgit Vollmeier and Yudi Warsosumarto of PEACH, Vienna

For more than seventeen years, Birgit Vollmeier and Yudi Warsosumarto, under the agency label PEACH, have worked strategically and creatively within the gallery scene. Passion for art is not solely defined through the agency’s services. For some time now, PEACH has run an “art window” in a vitrine in a store in Vienna’s sixth district and has become something of an institution in Vienna’s art and cultural scene. We spoke with Birgit and Yudi about the beginnings of this unusual agency and the deep connection of both founders with the art and cultural scene.
