Through dynamic contrasts and an ashen palette, I sense my own distance from the motion of modernist </span><span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer; font-family: times new roman;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1213798018_3">Europe</span><span style="font-family: times new roman;">. There's a nostalgia to Wells' brushwork, and it's mirrored in the monument depicted. It feels as if I've found it in a photo album. The central figure suggests an eroding, Utopian confidence. As melancholy and wonder overlap, I'm reminded of the ideological phantoms that undoubtedly inhabit my world.</span> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-family: times new roman;">In Rubens Ghenov's </span><i style="font-family: times new roman;">By the Rivers of Babylon</i><span style="font-family: times new roman;">, there is greater emphasis on gravity. His strange landscape of objects is solid and heavy, but his touch is ephemeral. My eyes become nomadic; they pass through the image. As Ghenov gathers artifacts from the cultures that define him (Brazilian, American), I sense him passing through this landscape as well. His approach is more metaphysical than Wells' (maybe?), but it finds its expression in </span><i style="font-family: times new roman;">things</i><span style="font-family: times new roman;">. A drum-set, a bird, a soccer ball-- as these objects merge, a portrait arises. In a sense it's a scavenger's image. But it's one with the grace of a monument. - Dan Schank</span><br /></p>Dan Halmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07989123208915518199noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070757869647552381.post-45221310087170773292008-06-18T06:53:00.000-07:002008-06-18T06:59:31.889-07:00Megan Sullivan selects...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmXU3rzNFSIXIne2ZIW8lqc1Q9taftJwiFwD7pmmj3wnqdV-WbXF_dIMadFt7HmN17tObQOOh9h7dl-_fJXCrBmVk4Wfu2nVXItDlp01p0yZ2dZHCMDYIbL_0a5rdu7axsJUTlNFuG5pUJ/s1600-h/NO+LA+2005.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmXU3rzNFSIXIne2ZIW8lqc1Q9taftJwiFwD7pmmj3wnqdV-WbXF_dIMadFt7HmN17tObQOOh9h7dl-_fJXCrBmVk4Wfu2nVXItDlp01p0yZ2dZHCMDYIbL_0a5rdu7axsJUTlNFuG5pUJ/s320/NO+LA+2005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213219853053796930" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">Scott Jackson, </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: times new roman;">New Orleans, LA</span><span style="font-family: times new roman;">, 2005</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC-VvdidcxFvgcKR86xxh5qTEl_YTOoOTdXNnGrJkPrCevUTtDVMZOoildPOhYuWSH150lzeQYxqO4cRroDN3PdUGLmQQCuSbAH3_wHmDRenop90ZV-gFJeyGcMSZLsFAUTM6r6RoMHbgj/s1600-h/Ven+Hurr+Katrina+1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC-VvdidcxFvgcKR86xxh5qTEl_YTOoOTdXNnGrJkPrCevUTtDVMZOoildPOhYuWSH150lzeQYxqO4cRroDN3PdUGLmQQCuSbAH3_wHmDRenop90ZV-gFJeyGcMSZLsFAUTM6r6RoMHbgj/s320/Ven+Hurr+Katrina+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213219857405163074" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">Tiffany Matula, </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: times new roman;">Venetian Hurricane Katrine Scene</span><span style="font-family: times new roman;">, 2007</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">I picked these two pieces by these artists because of the similar theme of New Orleans, but I like them for very different reasons.

Kachouh's video installation brings to mind the questions of "What am I watching?" or more specifically "Is it snow, falling ash, or actually nothing but a computer animation of shapes in motion?" and Rosenberg's "Anchor" can remind one of a trivial occurrence such as trying to use an umbrella on a windy day. While the immediacy of these thoughts can be important as an entry into the work, with a little more time viewing they seem insignificant. After leaving the realm of nostalgia, these pieces remind me of the importance of the experience of looking at or into art and become the sensuous embodiment of something more profound that is at once silly, elegant, and poetic. - JJ Pakola</span>Dan Halmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07989123208915518199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070757869647552381.post-91527971343673800792008-05-12T10:38:00.000-07:002008-05-12T10:44:20.628-07:00Carl Baratta selects...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB5l14VwD8G_33mQSCCNQiPi1SoTN2VgCwH5FqVtyaSJlklPMPyy9eqbGv791Vn3y-jn5EG8lAK8fr4enANwrgza0aWPqtFzkgpaNcpRZhM4yCuLe4To3NQ358SV29e7QJlpKm4RwNGG3d/s1600-h/jj3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB5l14VwD8G_33mQSCCNQiPi1SoTN2VgCwH5FqVtyaSJlklPMPyy9eqbGv791Vn3y-jn5EG8lAK8fr4enANwrgza0aWPqtFzkgpaNcpRZhM4yCuLe4To3NQ358SV29e7QJlpKm4RwNGG3d/s320/jj3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199547788610175010" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">JJ Pakola, </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: times new roman;">Is it hot in here or am I just sweating?

If you stare through their elemental swarms, you glimpse something no one thought could happen. It's cold outside. Their fires offer no warmth, none at all.

While fantasy is often employed by artists to represent an exotic, otherworldly universe, Carl Baratta and Jeremy Somer's work manages to retain a tenuous, vital, even mythic link with our own experiences and world. Logically, such a cacophony of monstrosities, Venutian foliage, electric reptiles and Pleistocene insects should be content to reside in a habitat far from the concerns of 21st century. However, in the hands of Somer and Baratta the creatures and environments are somehow analogies, allegories or even explanations for what resides beneath mundane existence. - Isak Applin</span>Dan Halmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07989123208915518199noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070757869647552381.post-63280153832978286372008-04-29T07:10:00.001-07:002008-04-29T07:14:01.106-07:00Kim Hoeckele selects...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvl3spzuAskvhHZ9peq1EDySkRdq6zf768RJlITX7k5nAwAOcSMDz-Aojq2aoLnsG3grHiwR5O666PMRerOgJZ3nPXFj5W8MKDr0XOyRyndHLF5Hogp31CKlFTQsgvhrAIExqVQ_VghACX/s1600-h/b_moon_untitled.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvl3spzuAskvhHZ9peq1EDySkRdq6zf768RJlITX7k5nAwAOcSMDz-Aojq2aoLnsG3grHiwR5O666PMRerOgJZ3nPXFj5W8MKDr0XOyRyndHLF5Hogp31CKlFTQsgvhrAIExqVQ_VghACX/s320/b_moon_untitled.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194669571091406722" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">Beth Moon, </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: times new roman;">Untitled</span><span style="font-family: times new roman;">, 2005, acrylic on fabric</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji-J7PepGvfdVJFjgdOEddoiJMZ2mh18dQuAvHFnu6VUHVRaewbjQ7-QFkpcNtUWB-WQNa9u_uBx850U4YcE_9bOh2llDIeogvnhctz3L67863CCayPYJVR3aERdzxMs0cisu1ZZsRMTEM/s1600-h/k_witham_luxe.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji-J7PepGvfdVJFjgdOEddoiJMZ2mh18dQuAvHFnu6VUHVRaewbjQ7-QFkpcNtUWB-WQNa9u_uBx850U4YcE_9bOh2llDIeogvnhctz3L67863CCayPYJVR3aERdzxMs0cisu1ZZsRMTEM/s320/k_witham_luxe.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194669579681341330" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">Kimberly Witham, <span style="font-style: italic;">Luxe</span>, 2007, digital collage</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">Both artists explore the relationship between animals and humans in their current work.
