William Lamson – Think Globally Act Locally

Monday, March 1st, 2010

I became a huge fan of William Lamson after I saw the “Emerge” video about a year back. This is still from 2008 but I just saw it on Boing Boing so I figured I’d post it.

Wojciech Kosma

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

I’ve been hearing about this artist reading various blogs, the most notable source being her BLOW JOB performances which I wasn’t too into. I did get a chance to look at her other work today and I’m liking most of it.

Headfuck (be sure to read about this on her site):

Wait:

“New York artist Ross Racine creates aerial views of fictional suburbs, examining the relation between design and actual lived experience. No photographs or scanned images are used in the pieces above. Each was drawn freehand directly on the computer and then printed on an inkjet printer.”

Venice Biennale

Boston.com’s The Big Picture has put up photos from the Venice Biennale. I really personally loved Bruce Nauman’s work but I’m biased since Pinchneck & Walking in an exaggerated manner around the perimeter of a square has always been some of my favorite pieces of early video art.

Samson

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

samson_2.jpgsamson_1.jpgsamson_2.jpg

“Samson is a museum installation by Chris Burden. It is made of a 100-ton jack, a gear box and a turnstile. Each time when a visitor enters the gallery space and passes through the turnstile, the jack connected to the gear box expand a little and pushes against the walls. So when a certain amount of people visit the exhibition, it is possible that the walls could collapse.”

Syn Chron by Carsten Nikolai

Friday, May 8th, 2009

“‘Syn Chron’ is an installation designed by Carsten Nikolai back in 2004. He wanted to create an integral sculpture of light, sound and architecture. The crystal-shaped object has a translucent skin on which lasers beam animations insync to the sounds. You can also go inside the object to get the whole light, sound and space experience. Indeed it’s that big.
Gestalten.TV has a video where Carsten Nikolai talks about his work, more precisely about grids and his book Grid Index. You can watch it here.”

Stumbled on this great article at TATE ETC on Oskar Fischinger while browsing but does it float. I am really admiring his work.

Vauxhall by Roger Hiorns

Roger Hiorns

“Roger Hiorns makes works of art whose particular aesthetic lies somewhere between the representational and non-representational, and so disrupts our expectations of the boundaries between them. His sculptures have a seemingly straightforward, functional material presence, but this is always combined with an element which provides a sense of the imaginary, the poetic or the esoteric. The tension between these two aspects is a vital part of Hiorns’ work.”
