a new decade. new directions. new connections.

this is a beat poem for the eyes in eight parts.

some sections have been considered, some are purely accidental.

fifty two pieces. diverse. from landscape to dada to abstract to portrait. and beyond.

the people, the artists, have made my year better. their gift to me.

this is a visual echo to them. to you.

a new decade.

may it treat you well.

[NB]

this work is in not in ‘absolute’ order of preference.

though of course, from the beginning, i thought about those who have a deep connection for me, so there is a modicum of ‘hierarchy’.

however, i suddenly remembered people who are dear to me toward the end of the process!! you cannot read too much into your ‘placing’ in the mosaics, and that is as it should be.

if you are not in the mix, i can only apologise. it was quite a lengthy process 😮
i will certainly have forgotten people [i can think of several now] who should have been a part of this process, but a year only contains a finite number of weeks.

you are not forgotten.

the best to all my contacts.

should you be interested in the fundamental reasons for many of my contacts being held in high esteem and great regard, please feel free to cast an eye over my new year video. it explains much with regard to how i view my contacts:

once again.

thank you all, for being who you are.

TodaysArt 2010 – Structet
visual art
Image by Haags Uitburo
Eén van de meest geslaagde optredens tijdens TodayArt was de indrukwekkende audiovisuele performance van Structet in het Atrium van het Stadhuis.

Structet is a fluctuating formation constisting of 52 visual and sonic improvisers from the ArtScience Interfaculty and other departments of the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. The group reformed in september 2010 to develop and perform the sequel to their performance at TodaysArt in 2006.
In the Atrium of the The Hague Town Hall Structet presented a monumental, architectonic vertical matrix of improvised electronic music and projections. An army of hidden musicians on laptops and custom built instruments formed an electronic orchestra that performed on seven floors. A ‘conductor’ behind a mixing board for both image and sound transformed the different inputs into one single piece of music and projections.
Structet adapts itself to the building or spatial structure where it performs, with a preference for the vertical dimension. The structure of the improvisation is based on a study of the proportions, scale, colour, history and function of the location of the performance. This performance was based on a study of architecture of the Town Hall by Richard Meier.

Thoughts about Photography…..

There is a difference between looking at photographs–which has become a common cultural practice in connection with reading newspapers–or seeing the image. The latter refers to reconstructing the photograph by exploring the deep structure of the image–which involves the application of practical knowledge and creative insights and relies on the cultural or historical consciousness of the reader. Looking is the visual routine of readers, seeing is the visual practice of the literate. The professional or artistic disposition of photographers reflects a commitment to the image as an expression of ideas or feelings that are beyond words.

Image by MTAPhotos
The completion of the work to rehabilitate seven stations along the D Line in Brooklyn was marked on August 2, 2012, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by MTA leaders and local elected officials.

We installed great new artwork at each of the seven stations. Here are details for the artwork shown in this image and its location.

71st Street Station –
Artist: Joan Linder
Title: The Flora of Bensonhurst
Date: 2012
Medium: Laminated glass
Location: Platform windscreens
Fabricator: Tom Patti Design

Joan Linder’s artwork will provide an elegant and dynamic tribute to the natural landscape in Bensonhurst. Linder’s proposal presents drawings of flora taken from the actual wild vegetation from the streets and lots in the neighborhood. These botanical images also flow in the direction of the train as the visual indication of departure and arrival. The work will be installed in the windows above the stairways that can be seen from the platform and the street level. In the medium of glass, the work will be aided by the strong light available to this particular station.

The Carnegie Arts Center, Covington, Kentucky

Image by elycefeliz
The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center is a multidisciplinary arts venue for all ages which provides events, educational programs, and art exhibitions to the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati community. The Carnegie facility reflects its threefold nature: within its 17,000 square foot facility are The Carnegie Galleries, crowned by a landmark Beaux Arts dome; the magnificent, newly renovated Otto M. Budig Theatre; and the newer Eva G. Farris Education center. The Carnegie is the largest arts venue in Northern Kentucky.

The Carnegie was established in 1972 in a former Carnegie Library which originally was constructed in 1902. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places. Saved from the wrecking ball by local residents during the 1970s, The Carnegie has grown from a grassroots arts alliance into a major venue in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region. It is an Associate Member of the Fine Arts Fund and receives funding from the Kentucky Humanities Council, from local businesses and corporations, from individuals, and private foundation grants.

Located at 1028 Scott Boulevard, The Carnegie public library and adjoining auditorium were built in 1904 for a grand total of ,000 with funds given to the city of Covington by Andrew Carnegie.

The interior of the original library building is made up of two floors, connected by ornately carved dual winding staircases. A circular balcony and open rotunda overlook the main floor underneath an impressive amber glass dome.

Elegance is the attribute of being unusually effective and simple. It is frequently used as a standard of tastefulness, particularly in the areas of visual design, decoration, the sciences, and the esthetics of mathematics. Elegant things exhibit refined grace and dignified propriety.

=====

Some associate elegance with simplicity and consistency of design, focusing on the main or basic features of an object, its dignified gracefulness, or restrained beauty of style. One may also attribute elegance to place something in an opulent light—a in tasteful richness of design or ornamentation "the sumptuous elegance of the furnishings."

=====

The proof of a mathematical theorem is considered to have mathematical elegance if it is surprisingly simple yet effective and constructive; similarly, a computer program or algorithm is elegant if it uses a small amount of intuitive code to great effect.

=====

In engineering, a solution may be considered elegant if it uses a non-obvious method to produce a solution which is highly effective and simple. An elegant solution may solve multiple problems at once, especially problems not thought to be inter-related.

=====

In chemistry, chemists always look for elegance in formulations as well as effectiveness in dosage form design.

Visual stimuli are frequently considered elegant if a small number of colors and stimuli are used, emphasizing the remainder.

Camille Pissarro, Ashmolean Museum Oxford

Camille Pissarro, Ashmolean Museum Oxford
visual art
Image by Martin Beek
Camille Pissarro (July 10, 1830 – November 13, 1903) was a French Impressionist painter. His importance resides not only in his visual contributions to Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, but also in his patriarchal standing among his colleagues, particularly Paul Cézanne.

Known as the "Father of Impressionism", Pissarro painted rural and urban French life, particularly landscapes in and around Pontoise, as well as scenes from Montmartre. His mature work displays an empathy for peasants and laborers, and sometimes evidences his radical political leanings. He was a mentor to Paul Cézanne and Paul Gauguin and his example inspired many younger artists, including Californian Impressionist Lucy Bacon.

Pissarro’s influence on his fellow Impressionists is probably still underestimated; not only did he offer substantial contributions to Impressionist theory, but he also managed to remain on friendly, mutually respectful terms with such difficult personalities as Edgar Degas, Cézanne and Gauguin. Pissarro exhibited at all eight of the Impressionist exhibitions. Moreover, whereas Monet was the most prolific and emblematic practitioner of the Impressionist style, Pissarro was nonetheless a primary developer of Impressionist technique.

Pissarro experimented with Neo-Impressionist ideas between 1885 and 1890. Discontented with what he referred to as "romantic Impressionism", he investigated Pointillism (as seen in this work above) which he called "scientific Impressionism" before returning to a purer Impressionism in the last decade of his life.
