inside bleak

i wasn’t able to
get much as far as
photos go at the
opening night and being
that i only brought my phone
the quality is pretty terrible,
but here’s the few i was able to grab.
The show was massive
and truly exceptional.
clare has journeyed
into a realm of abstraction
and clarity that deepens the
narrative of her characters to
nearly audible levels.
even within the din of the opening scene
(it really was like a hollywood
installation encased within the show)
the monotony of domestic life
peppered with moments of
ease joy loss and loneliness
we all experience are
hauntingly recognizable.
for me the best moment of
the evening was when clare’s
folk singing self peggy honeywell
had us all
(art world elite, models,
bev hills gals in 6 inch stilettos
big hair and furs
mullet wearing hipsters
and me in my birth control glasses)
sitting on the floor to
quietly watch the lovely performance.

really my photo don’t
come near doing the work justice
(bordering on insulting)…
if you can go see the show for yourself, please do so.

my dear friend
charles mayton
is in this group
show opening on
friday at
front desk apparatus
5:00pm - 7:00pm

about the show:

The works in the exhibition have been chosen because in various ways and on various levels they articulate the spirit, or rather the spirits, of the project. In some cases these procedures, or reasons, and their attendant poetry, are fairly explicit; in other cases they are more muted, or even openly occluded. But the general logic is one of substitution, which means multiplicity, and the knowledge, taken for granted, that the one is already many, and for the best.

entropy

jim kazanjian's
entrancing images
and
equally enthralling
artist statement

am interested in a kind
of “entropic” image, an image
that has the capacity to
de-familiarize itself.
My current work is an attempt
to unravel the photograph and play
with established notions of time,
space,
and the understanding of
what gives things context.

Photobucket


Through fragmentation and re-composition
of the photographic space,
the non-linear nature of reading the image
is folded in on itself.
The structure of the photograph is
unwound and reshuffled.
This reshaping becomes an iterative process
that spurs the generation
of something altogether different.

Something ineffable.

sheila hicks

looking at
the fiber art
jackets at suno again
i realized i'd never
done a post on sheila hicks

she is one of my greatest influences
and inspired my initial weaving desires
there was a physical shift in my mind
the first time i saw her work
in a library book as a wee one...
i had been obsessed with learning
fiber arts from my great grandmother
but this...this was an entirely
different dimension.
