      "Büchler's exhibition at Ikon involves a wide range of media including text, found objects, obsolete technologies and appropriated digital material, characteristically combining philosophical scepticism with a smart sense of humour that draws attention to the fundamentally strange nature of everyday life."--Ikon Gallery website (viewed November 2015).

      Dexter Dalwood Dexter Dalwood ist nicht nur ein aussergewöhnlich begabter Künstler, sondern auch geradezu prädestiniert, mit seinen komplexen und visuell einnehmenden Bildern die Konstruktion und Interpretation von Geschichte zu erkunden. Die Nebeneinanderstellung von Zitaten und Verweisen aus einem breit gefächerten und eklektischen Themenspektrum findet in der Übertragung in die Collagetechnik des Ausschneidens und Einfügens auf die Leinwand ihren Ausdruck. Dexter Dalwood verfügt nicht nur über ein fundiertes Kultur- und Geschichtswissen, er weiss auch um die Verbindungen zwischen Kunstgeschichte, Politik, Musik, Literatur und persönlichem Erleben und deutet diese auf bemerkenswert subtile Weise an. Seine Bilder lohnen die Betrachtung aus der Nähe, da die dargestellten Ereignisse immer mit einer bestimmten Malweise einhergehen, die während der Zeit entwickelt wurde, auf die sich das jeweilige Werk bezieht.

      "In Jeff Koons's One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank (1985), a Spalding basketball floats in the centre of a glass tank that rests on a simple black metal stand. The work presents what Koons called 'the penultimate state of being' - neither death nor life, but a suspended state of rest. It has been called one of the defining works of the 1980s, but was also described as 'an endgame', 'misleading' and part of a 'repulsive' practice"--Jacket

      A poignant, often humorous, recollection of the siege of Khe Sanh--a pivotal turning point in the American war in Vietnam. Under constant bombardment from the enemy, Michael Archer and his cadre of young Marines--Orr, Pig, Old Woman and Savage, just to name a few--managed to survive and, in the process, learn about manhood, sacrifice and the darkest recesses of fear and loneliness.
