Quotes Dawkins.

Now playing at Jenkins Johnson (and their Armory Show exhibit), Courtney Johnson’s Glass Cities should inspire a resurgence of cliché-verre experimentation. Johnson works in a variety of techniques, including cyanotype and emulsion lifts, as well, and all of it can be seen on the site linked below. This process experimentation is often a focus of commentary on the work, understandably. But the style is not, solely, the substance, nor does it obscure the themes and viewpoints of the artist.

Courtney Johnson – Glass Cities – Jenkins Johnson Gallery, New York, NY – February 11 – April 3, 2010.

The Satisfaction

As I dipsydoodled deliriously through James White’s work, I had a moment of lucidity devoted to Chuck Anderson, contemplation of which only floated me higher into my giddy delight. Alas, web pages are not infinite, and I reached the bottom, only to find the aforementioned eye medicine man atop a fairly short shoutout list. So I wasn’t *that* high.

Oh, who am I kidding? There may be many more. Or a spinoff site: Even More Miniatures. I can’t resist them. Nor diorama. I like to think these cars are transporting the meats of my earlier post. The link is to Lost At E Minor, but click deeper to see the apparatus revealed.

How Can You Make A Bargain With A Pack Mule?

January 13th, 2010 arantxa No comments

Recently at a busy opening, filled with illustrations, installations, and videos, I sat still, under headphones, for 29 minutes, while friends and strangers circled about intermittently, curiously, impatiently. Normally I would have returned at a quieter time to view the whole piece. But I could not interrupt the program, I tell you. I was mesmerized by Barry Doupé’s magical media potion, At The Heart Of A Sparrow. I contacted Mr. Doupé about sharing the mesmer here, and he kindly pointed me to a stream of the complete work at Lumen Eclipse, linked below.

UPDATE: Barry just sent along this link to an interview he gave in 2008 talking about his process and other sagacities (I hope I made that up). Thanks Barry!
