"We don’t copy the objects we use, we try to transform them and we hope they go on transforming as you look at them. The idea of endless public dialogue.. visual dialogue.. is very important to us."

On May 11, 2012, we officially opened the newly rebuilt and improved Far Rockaway-Mott Av terminal on the A line. The sparkling, steel and glass, state-of-the art transit facility includes "Respite," a new glass panel artwork by Jason Rohlf made in jewel-toned colors from original paintings. The artwork dramatically diffuses the light inside to create a richly saturated interior space. The work can be seen throughout the station as well as from outside, adding visual impact to the existing architecture. Photo: Metropolitan Transportation Authority / Rob Wilson.

fifty two heartbeats [a requiem for 2009]

the entire 8 here:
www.flickr.com/photos/the-g-uk/sets/72157622990446749/

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.

the|G|™

[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.

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.

Les brouillages / Scrambled – 13
visual art
Image by jlndrr
This series is part of an ongoing research on visual ways to dissolve pornographic imagery in abstraction and absurd.

For the Scrambled series, using video footage downloaded from Internet, I exploit the artifacts, errors, blurs inherent to heavy digital compression and incomplete files.

Dozens of snapshots are generated. Here, the creative process in itself rely on selecting the right images : identifiable as pornographic, but somehow deactivated.

MONA 4 of 7 photos

MONA – Trash Chaos Vessel – OOAK

Mona Lisa, and a tiny handmade clay human head in the bottom of the interior. This is amongst my favorites. The "Trash Chaos Vessel" series are a commentary about society: our over stimulating culture, bombardment of visual "noise" and attention deficits, as well as being graphic, eye catching conversation pieces made from trash usually thrown out in the garbage.

"MONA" measures 5.5" wide by 4.25" wide, and 3.5" deep.

Gee’s Bend: The Architecture of the Quilt
visual art
Image by Walters Art Museum
Gee’s Bend: The Architecture of the Quilt, which was on view at the Walters Art Museum from June 15, 2007 – August 26, 2007, featured four generations of quilters and demonstrated how the influences of architecture and the environment appear in the quilters’ visual vocabulary. The rich aesthetic traditions that have evolved in Gee’s Bend, a town of about 750 people on a remote peninsula created by a bend in the Alabama River, and its neighboring community, Rehoboth, can be counted among the most vibrant quilting legacies in America. Continually renewing their designs with a combination of tried-and-true techniques and bold innovation, the artists of Gee’s Bend have improvised upon well-known quilting patterns found elsewhere, such as housetop, bricklayer, medallions, and strip quilting. Here you will see a selection of 16 of the over 40 quilts that will be on view at the Walters venue. For more information, please visit thewalters.org/eventscalendar/eventdetails.aspx?e=374.

A few nice visual art images I found:

The Barber Institute of Fine Arts
visual art
Image by ell brown
This is the The Barber Institute of Fine Arts building on the University of Birmingham main campus.

It is listed currently as being on University Road, and no longer Edgbaston Park Road (I would assume that University Road is the road that goes from Edgbaston Park Road into the University grounds proper).

It is a Grade II listed building built between 1935 and 1939, designed by architect Robert Atkinson.

It is an art gallery and concert hall, and is an Art Deco building. It was opened by Queen Mary.

1935 completed 1939, architect Robert Atkinson. Sophisticated design marrying
elements of traditional institutional classicism with Dudok inspired stone
dressed brick modern. A 2 storey compact block with shallow full height portal
wing to right hand of front. Ashlar faced ground floor and blind lst floor of
brick with flat coped roofline. The horizontal emphasis of the strip
fenestration of the ground floor is suavely combined with the vertical accent of
the slightly battered portal. The latter is complemented in small scale by
ashlar panels carved with symbols of the Arts on the first floor and reflected
by the visual stop of the larger panel at the end of return east elevation.
The banding and strip fenestration of the front follows round on to the side and
rear elevations giving a crisp linear definition to the design.

Glastonbury Pi 2008

A few nice visual art images I found:

Glastonbury Pi 2008
visual art
Image by evan grant
Arts and technology collective seeper baked a giant interactive Pi for the Glastonbury Festival. The filling being the audience.

They asked: “If there is no beginning and no end, then what?” their answer” Pi, Pie or a circle?” In this instant a 16 metre round Big Top tent in the festivals Trash City area, that responds to the motion of the people within it.

Standing inside the Pi people were tracked by cameras and saw a silhouette of themselves on the walls of the space. As they moved photons, plasmas and other particles radiated from them and were sent flying around the space. Their movement also controlled sound as one of a series of instruments. Scratching a beat, playing a bass or strumming strings made the audience not only the filling but also the players, conductors and composers of their own collective Pi.

[ C ] Marc Chagall – L’Âne rouge dans le ciel (Donkey in the red sky) (1965)
visual art
Image by Cea.
Painted circa 1965, Marc Chagall’s L’Âne rouge dans le ciel is an exceptionally energetic example of the artist’s visionary, fantastic œuvre. Comprised of visions taken from his mind and his memory, Chagall’s paintings consistently combine floating lovers and flying beasts in magical compositions that exude charm and beauty. Chagall had a passion for dreaming, and his whimsical, folkloric paintings serve as testimony to this. His instinct was to abandon logic to the joy of creation, and as such Chagall’s paintings become an expression of his internal thoughts and feelings rather than objective projections of the outside world.

In the present work, Chagall brings together some of his most celebrated motifs of animals and lovers suspended in a dreamlike setting: winged beasts and floating lovers are depicted soaring through the sky with complete disregard for the forces of gravity. Indeed the composition of this work is so dynamic and the mystical aura so pervading that the viewer is instantly transported into this whimsical world. We are invited to join these mystical characters and experience the magic and mystique of the subconscious. The painting is a visual feast as well as being a testament to the fact that ‘the themes in Chagall’s art are timeless, not confined to a single epoch of history, but reminding man of the continuity of life for generation after generation, since the earliest days of recorded time’.
