William Webb (1987), and Christopher Wilmarth (1943-1987).

Troika - Modern Painters
"Don't Touch anything and you'll be safe, You're very close to death." says Sebastien Noel. We're huddling under a shed of sorts built from small timbers and draped in plastic. The structure covers a 5 by 10 foot sheet of woven matte photo paper that is sprawled across tempered-glass table, which the Franco-Italian artist and his German partners, Eva Rucki and Conny Freyer, known professionally as Troika, use to create their increasingly popular "light: drawings.

Much contemporary art (though perhaps all art, always) has trust issues. It asks us to question what we think trustworthy. Take Troika's 'Limits of a Known Territory', a site-specific installation currently on display at NC-arte in Bogotá.

A beautiful day on the atoll. Water lapping at the beach, ships out on the water. Sea birds screeching, a light breeze mussing the palm in the foreground of a black-and-white view of the lazy Pacific. Then the bomb goes off.

For a brief few weeks around the close of 2014, it felt as if you could divide your acquaintances into two groups: those who were listening to Serial and those who were not. Devotees of this spin-off from the popular podcast This American Life soaked up the insistent, questioning voice of investigative journalist Sarah Koenig as she unpicked the frayed ends of a true-life murder case.
