<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b>Lois Weinberger</b> is working on a network, devoting his attention to peripheral areas and questioning all sorts of hierarchies. He sees himself as a field worker and started in the early 1970´s with ethno-poetical works, which are the basis for an artistic debate - developed over some decades - concerning standard social behaviour in both natural space and that of civilization. Ruderal plants involved in all areas of life, are initial and orientation point for notes, drawings, photographs, objects, texts, films as well as big projects in public space.</span></div>

Thomas Hirschhorn's current exhibition "<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/28/arts/design/thomas-hirschhorn-exhibitions-at-gladstone-and-dia.html">Concordia Concordia</a>" is the artist's recreation of the recent <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa_Concordia_disaster">wreck of a Italian cruise ship</a> where 34 passengers were killed. This interpretation of the tragic disaster illustrates the simulations that Baudrillard wrote of in "The Precession of Simulacra." Hirschhorn is removed from the event, using pictures and video to shape the installation. The viewer enters the gallery with only that knowledge as well, thanks to media and news coverage. It is hard to tell from photos how much he has disguised the space and how convincing it is as the site, but it could be extremely powerful as hyperreality. </div>

When Hal Foster wrote about the fine line between site specific work and tourist site in "Artist as Ethnographer," I thought of <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/26/arts/design/carsten-holler-exhibition-at-the-new-museum.html?_r=0">Carsten Holler show at the New Museum</a> last October. I did not see the show, but I remember reading about how, due to popularity, the museum extended its run and about the lines visitors had to wait in to ride the slide he installed. These lines, viewing windows throughout the slide, and the waiver visitors have to sign before participating in any of his experiences (which also included the taking of pills and the opportunity to feel your nose grow) add to the spectacle.

Stephanie Pierce approaches painting with perceptual problems foremost in mind. In order to explore her visual questions, she has arrived at a form which defies traditional representational conventions while still being entirely about seeing, and the experience of perceptual reality. Although her work is deeply indebted to her teacher, Ann Gale, there's a lot of unique work to see on her <a href="http://stephanie-pierce.com/home.html" target="_blank">website</a>. Neil Plotkin also interviewed her for the Painting Perceptions blog <a href="http://paintingperceptions.com/interiors/stephanie-pierce-interview" target="_blank">here</a>. A quick quote from the interview: "I feel like if anything, the paintings are like these confessions of all
my inability, or some kind of record of how I struggle to understand
something or come to process this thing I see."<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415832267636845668.post-27577465451018925312012-09-16T12:33:00.001-07:002012-09-16T12:33:02.514-07:00Sam Durant<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of the many stellar works at Documenta 13, I think Sam Durant's sculpture <i>Scaffold</i>, located within the Karlsaue park, resonates with the themes we've been discussing in class. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Durant states: </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px;">Because of the intricacy and complexity of this structure, it may not be immediately apparent as to exactly what its origins are or how it is to be used; while children use it as a play structure, adults, perhaps attracted by its architectural novelty can slowly discover its origins and meaning. While some might see a resemblance to constructions in an adventure playground from the 1970’s, the sculpture is actually made up of a combination of reconstructed gallows (or scaffolds as they were once called) that were used in executions of significance throughout U.S. history. Through this formal uncertainty there is an attempt to signify both the free play of childhood and the ultimate form of control, capital punishment.</span></span><br />

His filmic fables, the focus of this exhibition, articulate the profound within the ordinariness of everyday life. Everson, who was born in the working-class community of Mansfield, Ohio, depicts details in the lives of people living and working in similar American communities: a mechanic repairing an old car in a backyard, a black beauty queen in a segregated pageant, men boxing, snowplow operators in winter, young men walking into a courtroom, the aftermath of a murder.<br />

Some of Everson’s films are constructed from appropriated news and film footage, uncovering forgotten details of African-American life in the 1960s and 70s. In other films, the artist explores the waxing and waning of a community’s sense of itself and the migration of black people from the South to the North in order to find work. Everson, whose work was included in the 2008 Whitney Biennial, approaches race, sexuality, and economic circumstances with a poetic yet unflinching eye.Art Sexy: Exposing Art, Myths and Monsters of the Seahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01884154300945254708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415832267636845668.post-15371872793949343012011-05-24T09:59:00.000-07:002011-05-24T09:59:39.839-07:00Eric Kniss at CUE Foundation<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidVTVK5slnRI_xqQGQ2LUuHe2nwnMLvwVUyLMiWXFr_gbUskTFlM0grYmZchs8YhM8bT-0VsLrMg716d9VCcfar4R-YaXX-plwaUVJfx9Lfkfdha-SaZy-ZNS6BdfGtO3CzQtaXDyHCnE/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-05-24+at+12.58.06+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidVTVK5slnRI_xqQGQ2LUuHe2nwnMLvwVUyLMiWXFr_gbUskTFlM0grYmZchs8YhM8bT-0VsLrMg716d9VCcfar4R-YaXX-plwaUVJfx9Lfkfdha-SaZy-ZNS6BdfGtO3CzQtaXDyHCnE/s320/Screen+shot+2011-05-24+at+12.58.06+PM.png" /></a></div><br />

Her exhibition is a great example of how limitations just might unleash all kinds of favorable and unforeseen outcomes, AND for those of you who will be heading out into the world soon--having to think anew how work will get made without the environment of school and ready space--Feinstein's low budget experiment is interesting to see.<br />
