In 1906, the ‘Coca-Cola’ company hired William D’Arcy, who set the tone of Coke’s advertising for the coming decades. He held the view that "‘Coca-Cola’ advertising should create scenes that drew people in and made them part of the pleasant interludes of everyday life". D’Arcy showed pleasant people drinking ‘Coca-Cola’ while doing sociable activities such as shopping and playing games.

In the 1920s, ‘Coca-Cola’’s advertising began to reflect the prosperity of the times. Advertisements depicted the rising middle class participating in activities once reserved for the elite in society. An advertising poster shows a couple of friends, chillin’ outside at a party. An other cardboard shows a young girl being pulled on a board behind a boat. The advertisements created images that people aspired to emulate. And with the growing prosperity, such a dream was within everyone’s reach.

One Shot

Image by Tony Van Den Boomen
About the One Shot Project
Visual Codec published a monthly online magazine from February 2006 to February 2007. Its core focus was in-depth coverage of the vibrant regional contemporary visual arts scene showcased by three pivotal Pacific Coast cities: Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, and Vancouver, British Columbia.??In conjunction with the magazine, Visual Codec spearheaded One Shot, a book project intended to showcase both emerging and established regional visual arts talent drawn from Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.??One Shot features work by 100 regional artists selected in a blind jury process. While the works presented in One Shot are by no means the first or last word on the enormous body of visual artwork currently being produced in the region, they do, perhaps, provide one conceptually compelling avenue of approach.??Each artist/team was allowed to submit only one work of art, and, while up for review by the jury, each entry was presented with only the medium it was created in, the title of the work, and the general knowledge that it was created somewhere in the region. No artist names, gallery affiliations, cities, resumes, or artistic statements were presented to the jury.

SALA DE MAQUINAS @ VISUAL BRASIL

Some cool visual art images:

SALA DE MAQUINAS @ VISUAL BRASIL
visual art
Image by visiophone
“Sala de Máquinas” (Engine Room) is an audiovisual interactive installation, which intends to reflect on the idea of the reutilization of what we have acknowledged as obsolete…in this case old modified TVs that react to sound!

An electronic oscillator is connected to an open circuit, in a way that when the user touches 2 metal bars he/she himself/herself becomes the electrical resistance therefore being able to vary the frequency of sound.

The old modified TVs react to this sound as an oscilloscope having all kinds of different patterns and reactions.

Church Street, Burlington, Vermont USA • Seen in an exhibition of the work of Sally Linder, at the Firehouse Gallery. Burlington artist Sally Linder’s work explores the experience of arduous, elaborate, mystical and cultural journeys and creates bodies of work in reaction to them. These projects have included spending a month alone in a remote cave in the canyon land of Utah, living with the Dayaks, Antandroy, and Bakweri tribes in the jungles of Borneo, Madagascar, and Cameroon, and traveling to the informal settlements around Johannesburg, South Africa. This retrospective surveys Linder’s paintings from 1992 – 2009, bringing together both her figurative and abstract bodies of work.

As the original sign carved into the building says: Ethan•Allen•Engine•Co•No•4 ? "Designed by A. B. Fisher, a prolific 19th century Burlington architect, this firehouse ranks as one of the most attractive buildings in downtown Burlington. Built in the heyday of volunteer fire companies, it was completed in the spring of 1889." *

Now operating as The Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts , The FCVA provides visitors with a fully-integrated arts experience through contemporary exhibitions and educational programming informed by the work in the Firehouse Gallery. The FCVA includes a community darkroom and photography studio; artist-in-residence studio; multimedia conference facility for lectures, film series, and panel discussions; and Resource Room and Library with public meeting space and Internet access. Burlington City Arts (BCA) opened all five floors of the building in 2004 after an extensive historic renovation, and has yet to complete the .5 million capital campaign. ? The Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts is programmed and managed by Burlington City Arts.

? * For some dates & historical details, I am indebted to the Chittenden County Historical Society, and their fine, three volume set: Historic Guide to Burlington Neighborhoods: Vol. I, 1991; Vol. II, 1997; Vol. III, 2003.

Dublin Contemporary 2011 – Iveagh Gardens In Dublin
visual art
Image by infomatique
A NEW VISUAL arts exhibition has opened in Dublin which features over 90 artists from five continents.

A major exhibition called The Office of Non-Compliance is housed in Earlsfort Terrace and I hope to publish some photographs later this week. The Iveagh Gardens are being transformed into a sculpture garden throughout the six-week event and I took the opportunity to photograph some go them. I assume that more are to be added, I will check on a regular basis.

Theme

The title and theme of Dublin Contemporary 2011 is Terrible Beauty—Art, Crisis, Change & The Office of Non-Compliance. Taken from William Butler Yeats’ famous poem “Easter, 1916”, the exhibition’s title borrows from the Irish writer’s seminal response to turn-of-the-century political events to site art’s underused potential for commenting symbolically on the world’s societal, cultural and economic triumphs and ills.

The second part of the exhibition’s title underscores Dublin Contemporary 2011’s emphasis on art that captures the spirit of the present time, while introducing the exhibition’s chief organizational engine: The Office of Non-Compliance. Headed up by Dublin Contemporary 2011 lead curators Jota Castro (artist/curator) and Christian Viveros-Fauné (critic/curator), The Office of Non-Compliance will function as a collaborative agency within Dublin Contemporary 2011, establishing creative solutions for real or symbolic problems that stretch the bounds of conventional art experience.

Venues and Programme

The main exhibition hub at Earlsfort Terrace, former home of University College Dublin, will provide a range of unusual spaces for mini solo exhibitions that range from large-scale installations to smaller intimate hangings. The Office of Non-Compliance, located within the Earlsfort Terrace exhibition site, will function as a promoter of ideas around a laundry list of non-conformist art proposals. This element of the exhibition will include ad-hoc, accessible structures for discourse around art and its place in society.

Extending its reach across the city, Dublin Contemporary 2011 will partner with four important Dublin galleries: The Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, The National Gallery of Ireland and The Royal Hibernian Academy.

Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane will present a retrospective of the work of renowned Irish artist Willie Doherty. An exhibition of American painter Alice Neel’s striking, psychologically penetrating portraits will take place at The Douglas Hyde Gallery.

The National Gallery of Ireland will host works by a number of international artists as well as a new commission by the distinguished Irish artist Brian O’Doherty. The Royal Hibernian Academy will host an exhibition of works by American painter Lisa Yuskavage and a new commission by Irish artist James Coleman.

You Pull Just What Y[[ou (Visual-Text Poem iii.)
visual art
Image by DerrickT
I wanted to essentially try something a bit different here (in my own signifying experimentation) regarding empty space (like air-sockets in an abandoned field [no flowers, no plants, no human/mechanical activity]) and to let the disassociative textualizations provide the translation for the over-all piece, which I suppose may or may not confuse the matter further, depending on the viewer’s idealogies. The "dueling" text here is a product of meditation and/or procedures of "versus vs. versus" where the charactertistics of each letter/word becomes their own ‘personal’ conspiracy theory. The connection with each creates a tension that I adore, focused on the exploitation of defocused operatives and how the individual psyche’ responds to the (or ‘each’) specific letter/word and how the "space" warrants other engines.

At first, I was undecided if I wanted to give this piece color because I felt as though the "whiteness" of the piece was basically my perception of ‘space’ as far as non-color is concerned (which "white" isn’t a color anyhow). As you see, I couldn’t help myself and I didn’t want to "sleep on it" because it would have probably been smothered/suffocated in the morning and I didn’t want to go through the day knowing that I had smothered an idea, choking it to death like a comedy manuscript in the hands of a horror writer (if I can be imbalanced for a moment!). I felt like the pink-ish color was the articulation of fleshy things, which in my opinion, I feel as though words and textualizations are flesh-eggs waiting to be hatched from another dimension, another time-warp, another un/comfortable opening, eventually siphing off into something else. Something else, like other texts, words, disassociations, &c., &c. —

The drops of blue here is, well, just that: Drops of blue pinched from a sponge-source. After I "pinched" the amount I felt comfortable with, I used a blow-dryer’s hot ‘air’ to push the puddle’d liquidation down towards the bottom-end of the page, which is the tail-like river you see coming from each drop (or "pool"). The "girls"/women in the middle of the piece are trying to "hold" everything together. They’re like the Mother(s) of the text.

All-in-all, this piece was an idea I had when visualizing text as "dueling entities." My fascination with poor syntax, disassembled alphabetics/text, uneven wordings, misplaced grapplings and non-appropriates (somehow "breaking the rules" — which have already been broken many years ago — but knowing that I am ‘adding’ to the misconnectiveness of art’s visual interstices is a turn-on), language as a tool for digging out that sunken ship from the bottom of your mind’s ocean and providing it in a way so that it creates "tension", to me, is an obvious progression.
