Kevin Zucker Steps Up To the Web 2.0 Plate

January 23rd, 2007
Kevin Zucker, Encyclopedia, 2006, Acrylic transfer on Canvas, 96 x 160 inches

I suppose the biographical notes of artists have little to do with their work, but at the same time I loath to omit the fact that at the age of 30, painter Kevin Zucker has already had two solo shows at Mary Boone, with his most recent exhibition, Search Within Results, opening at Greenberg van Doren this past Thursday. I have not yet seen the newest work, but having just been forwarded his artist statement I now know I need to make the trek out.

Made up almost exclusively of links, the 1980 version of this statement would undoubtedly be intolerable as it would consist of footnotes to texts a reader would never look up. The genius of Zucker’s document lies in the fact that it becomes the vast archive that his paintings and drawings depict. I have published it below, as I find the narrative flow of these links not only illuminating and political in nature, but also pretty damn fun.

[Editors note: Apologies for links that run over the blog roll. There is no way to maintain the integrity of the statement and have the format fit within the blogger column width.]

Seeing the forest for the tree

January 18th, 2007

Lawrence Weschler’s Convergence of Convergences Contest over at McSweeney’s revisits the above photo of a clear-cut forest in Sweden – where the void left behind by logging has visually reproduced the very thing that void destroyed. The return of the repressed, indeed…

(Image of Swedish forest originally submitted to McSweeney’s by Walter Murch).

January 17th, 2007

Image via Sears

Alright art nerds, I hadn’t planned on posting the rest of the day, but Make has made this impossible. Phillip Terrone has just posted Craftsman’s latest woodworking tool, an $1800 computer controlled CNC machine. Boing Boing’s Cory Doctorow describes it as a 3-D printer, which doesn’t mean that it prints holograms on wood, but rather that you can rip, cross cut, miter, contour, joint and route, without having to own a separate tool for each job. Hello all-in-one printer of the woodworking world! Product description below:

“Compact, computer-controlled, 3-dimensional woodworking machine with an easy-to-use interface. It allows a novice to make a complete project without a shop full of tools.The unique configuration allows it to perform many other woodworking functions, including ripping, cross cutting, mitering, contouring, jointing and routing. The CompuCarve can work in most soft materials, including wood, plastics (polycarbonate or cast acrylic) and certain types of high density foam. Set includes CompuCarve machine, (1) 1/16 in. carbide carving bit, (1) 1/8 in. carbide cutting bit, CarveWright Memory Card, starter software package, (2) 1/4 in. bit adaptors, vacuum bag adaptor, bit removal tool, hex wrench, owner’s manual and Quick Start Guide.” - Link.

Collateral - The Projections of Jean-Christian Bourcart

January 16th, 2007

holyshit1.jpg

holyshit2.jpg

holyshit3.jpg

For the last year or so, Sara and I have been receiving over 300 - 400 emails a day. Every once in a while we open an email and our jaw drops. I look over at Sara and say - “Holy Shit.”

This is one of those instances.

From Jimmy comes a link to the website of Jean-Christian Bourcart. The projections above, called Collateral, were done Tivoli in New York State in 2005.

Jean-Christian writes -

“I projected photographs of mutilated and dead Iraqis on American houses, supermarkets, churches, and parking lots. I was thinking of this new generation of kids who will be traumatized for life by growing up during wartime. It was a desperate gesture: my personal protest for the lack of interest for the non-american victims. I found the images on the web. Some American soldiers post their own pictures on a website. They would show a cut leg with the caption: “where’s da rest of my shit?” Or a blown up head with the caption: “need a hair cut” .
I could not help thinking of those images as some kind of restless ghosts that endlessly wander in the intermediate level of the web. I took care of them like a embalmer would; downloading, revamping, printing, rephotographiing, then projecting them as if I was looking for a place where they would rest in peace and at the same time haunt those who pretend not to know what was going on. “

If you can stomach it, we highly recommend that you check out the full gallery of photographs on Jean-Christian Bourcart’s website.
