Heart As Arena (visual art blog)
July 2007, " Complement" by Brent Burket
"There are some really nice pieces in the group show at Peer Gallery . I checked out the show when I learned that Sebastian Lemm's work was in it. As ever, Lemm's work was excellent. No surpises there.... Letha Wilson's sculpture reminded me of a 3-D manifestation of works from Lemm's Lapse series without the complications...."
The Village Voice
2006, "Turn Off the Set" on 'progressive coma' by Deborah Jowitt
"...Stillwell remains naked to assume a series of poses with Bradley (now also nude),
backed by projections of photos by Sebastian Lemm. In these, the camera strokes
and caresses their enlaced forms in such extreme closeup that you often don't know
what body part you're looking at. The artfully constructed pictorial reality .... manipulates
our vision and our responses...."
Heart As Arena (visual art blog)
2006, "Here And Almost Now"by Brent Burket
"...Over at 511 W. 25th there's a strong show at Margaret Thatcher Projects,
Landscape Re-Imagined. I went there to see Sebastian Lemm's glorious c-prints
and found other thrills as well...:"
2006, "Sebastian Lemm Update" by Brent Burket
"...his shit rocks and you should see it..."
2006, "California Dreaming (Still)" by Brent Burket
"Last Sunday I stopped at Pierogi in Williamsburg. I always make a point to look back
and see what they have hanging around the office. (Art fetishist rule #1: Never miss
the back room.) Hanging up high on the wall was a piece that grabbed my attention
and held it. I asked who it was and the answer was Sebastian Lemm. His work
was the strongest in a very strong group show at Bank in downtown LA and here it
was again, taking me down. I'm pretty sure that Lemm doesn't have a NY gallery...
proving once again that crack is way too inexpensive here..."
2006, "Downtown" by Brent Burket
"...A couple blocks away from Bert Green was a really strong group show,
SPRAWL at Bank gallery. At first I thought these C-prints by Sebastian Lemm
were paintings. When I realized what they were, it didn't matter. Lemm finds
the ghost in the machine of the natural, and exposes and explodes it's interiors...."
Los Angeles Times
2006, "Structure of human identity" by Christopher Knight, LA Times Staff Writer
"... Finally, at the nearby Bank Gallery, "Sprawl" brings together five artists who
work at the intersection of landscape and urbanism. Virtual space is a leitmotif....
electronic manipulation inflects Sebastian Lemm's extruded landscape photographs,
where feathery leaves are woven into cat's cradles and Rorschach blots...."
