Cubist Mashup #3

This image combines several components: a carafe, a wine bottle, a glass goblet and a projector contemporaneous with those seen by Picasso and Braque. The goal is to re-create a Cubist image that incorporates elements of the early Cinema apparatus (the projector) to prove the theis that Picasso and Braque embedded the machinery into there Cubist images.

Cubist Mashup #2

Starting with a photograph of a woman from the Victorian era, Photoshop was used to create a second image transformed by simple reflection; the was then overlaid onto an image of a tripod in an effort to replicate effects found in several images by Picasso.

Cubist Mashup #1

Using Photoshop, an image of a cinematograph was combined with an image of a Mandora (a type of guitar) in an effort to duplicate effects in a painting by Braque. In Photoshop, the clone stamp tool allows for painting multiple sections offset from the original Mandora.

Van Gogh and Expressionism @ Neue Galerie - Art Review - whitehot magazine of contemporary art
Here is a great opportunity to see Van Gogh alongside his most ardent admirers. I went to see this show, and it is near perfect in size, intensity and purpose.

Artists Talk: Whitney@Altria

So I went to this 'artists talk' last night at the Whitney Museum @ Altria.
Here are my impressions:
First of all, the show is spectacular: not to be missed. Each artist contributed to the overall effect which gives evidence to a new aesthetic based on obsessive/compulsive construction, found objects, re-purposeing refuse and an idiosyncratic approach combined in thought-provoking and visually stunning ways.
For this, I salute the artists Diana Cooper, Charles Goldman, Jason Rogenes, Jane South and Phoebe Washburn, the curator and all involved.
That said, here are my thoughts on the 'talk'.

1. This is 2007, please don't use a slide projector from last century in a show concerned with technology... please. "Next slide, please...next slide please..."
2. Learn how to speak into a microphone (rehearse, if you have to!).
3. If you plan to show projected images, please place the screen where it can be seen.

This may sound like a rant but this was the most unprofessional event I have attended in recent memory and I had to excuse myself in the middle because:
I couldn't hear the artists speak (faulty microphone? no rehearsal?),
I couldn't see the artists (they could have been on a platform or even in the raised section of the Altria space),
I couldn't see the slides,
and finally, these artists had very little to say other than drop names of grants, residencies, schools and other self-serving trivia that added little at all to the experience of the work on view.

All that being said, the show itself is a gem.

Glitter and Doom: Last Chance

Last Chance (closes on February 19, 2007) to see this exquisite jewel of a show. This exhibit evokes the spirit of Joel Grey in Cabaret and the Weill-Brecht Weimer Republic in all of its' decadence; a mesmerizing detailed depiciton of the demi-monde .

Brice Marden@MoMA : Last Chance to See It

Went to see the Brice Marden retrospective@MoMA a few days ago and I was reminded how different a paintings looks ‘in the flesh’ as opposed to a reproduction of it. Brice Marden’s paintings (more than most) suffer from the inability of a reproductive process to capture the nuance, the surface quality and the subtle transparencies and incidents that are the real subject of his art. The intense looking that is required of his images does not travel well to the small-format printed page. On the web, these paintings look like cartoons.
I must say that the earliest monochrome paintings literally pale next to the later, richer and denser images. These paintings sing with color and light and the sure hand and eye of a master painter in his prime.
