Bloggin' it up
Sorry if this is... obvious. BUT. I think this blog is working out pretty well. For now it seems to be a good place to just post anything and everything. I've just been commenting with my immediate thoughts. If any of you need a specific kind of feedback - just ask. I work a 9 - 5 job at a university which means I have LOTS of downtime, so I understand that I will probably be posting on this more than anyone else. (you guys have lives, I get it, I'm not jealous or anything - actually I probably am.) I will probably start using this as a place to think through some ideas out loud. Forgive me in advance for what will surely be long rants that will hopefully make SOME sense.
Here's a picture I made. It's Matthew Barney in his flooded studio on a boat. I put that spherical emoticon over his head. It's about how he's unsure how he feels about being on the boat.

ReplyDeleteTo bring the other conversation we were having on to the blog. . . So Printing. Would you print this image? How large could it be printed? Would it be really pixelated if you printed it, and would that in fact be poignant? Or would you envision a work like this only existing on a screen or projected?
Also I think that lacda juried thing prints the work for you - which is cool cause it is one less thing.
If I had complete control over printing I would experiment with printing large, using low quality images. I'm interested in the idea of using the "web" to great a physical space. The interesting thing about the web is how low quality most images are. I really want to see/experiment with what those images look like large and physical.
ReplyDeleteI will take a closer look at the lacda juried show. If they print the work for you I would definitely take a chance at entering it.
