Zines

Thank you Francesca, I'm really enjoying this book.
Ideas so far that I'm in to:
-We make zines because we are losers.
-People who make zines have above average intelligence and below average social skills.
-Zines are a rebellion against the mainstream. (Duh, but it's nice to hear)
-Zines are not commercial publications (double duh...but wait now days you have publishers, commercial artists, and book stores like making "zines" - are zines contemporarily too commercialized or has it not pinacled?
-Zines are a novel form of communication and creation that burst with angry idealism. (This may pertain mostly to 1980s / for me society in general is less excitable...they're a bit more comatose)

This book is slightly dated, it was published in 1997, but none the less it has some validity and it's definitely a great history lesson on zines made in the US.

Ill keep reading, maybe it'll be inspiring.

notes on books that I'm currently reading

I have been reading a few books lately. I picked up the Yayoi Kusama catalogue two weeks ago after seeing her retrospective at the Whitney Museum. I found her work to be colorful and exciting, but her story of self obsession and self imprisonment seemed even more enchanting.  Hans Ulrich Obrist's collection of interviews with artists titled Conversation Series, I began with book six, one of my favorite artists Wolfgang Tillmans. I've seen Wolfgang speak a few times, each time I get something new to walk away with. Jerry Kosinski's Steps was recommended to my by Tuomas.  The Bhagavad Gita is a book that I picked up at my mom's house last week.

Florian Maier-Aichen

if you happen to be in belgium check out florian maier-aichen at baronian francey.....

"Revisiting the American West in Der Spaziergang (Red, White and Blue), 2011, Maier-Aichen borrows the desert landscapes of cartoon animator and director Chuck Jones to fully engage the spiraling relationship between painting and photography. Using transparent cels, acrylic and watercolor, the constructed scene is finally registered to film on a copy stand. The marriage of techniques, unique to traditional animation, is offset by the pronounced minimalist imagery of the circular form. Similarly, the painted triangular peaks of Österjön II, 2011, rising out of the dark waters like an iceberg or the last portion of a fatally wounded hull, are suspended in an interchange of form and meaning. In Ennis House, 2011, the artist's drawn symbols gain playful buoyancy as balloons, or props liberated from a nearby film shoot. As their seemingly random orientation plots our gaze onto the Frank Lloyd Wright landmark, eclipsing Hollywood's hallmarks, we are reminded most of the artist's hand." full statement here

Ryan Foerster in a Group Show at Laurel Gitlen Gallery

My friend Ryan Foerster is a part of a group show at Laurel Gitlen Gallery Septermber 14 - October 23rd 2011.

Jessica Jackson Hutchins

Ryan Foerster is showing new photographs in a group show along with artists Jessica Jackson Hutchins, who is showing amazing ceramic sculptures, and Chadwick Rantanen who is showing radical drawings.

A little blip on Ryan Foerster:

"Ryan Foerster's practice combines photographs, zines and found objects, all taken from the artist's own experience and immediate surroundings. Many images begin as biographical or narrative, but through abstractions from available light become atmospheric compositions, blurring the line between action and accident. Coupled with residual images and errors from a shared darkroom, the works obscure private and public, as representational and abstract images are combined with the readymade."

Adam Marnie at Derek Eller Gallery

My friend Adam Marnie has a solo show at Derek Eller Gallery Septermber 9 - October 8 2011.

Adam Marnie, No Title / October Bouquet (twice split), 2010, color photographs, scotch tape, 6.25 x 6 inches. Photo: Courtesy Derek Eller Gallery.

"Marnie envisions Locus Rubric as a series of movements,

interrelated but distinct. In a process he describes as “remixing,” he collages photographs directly onto

the gallery wall then cuts out a sections of collaged wall, and either frames the removal or

reinserts it elsewhere in the gallery. In another movement,

he cuts through his framed photo collages and into the wall creating a continuous

hole/wound/void that opens into the dark space behind the walls. This in and out, this merging of exteriority and

interiority through rupture generates dynamic irregularities and emphasizes

the corporeal vulnerability of his materials and the images

(often flowers) he represents. He writes, "As an unbroken

image, it is incomplete––a disturbance, a distortion, a fissure of some kind is crucial

to open up the image into an activated space." Marnie's cutting, removing, remixing, and reinventing synergizes into a "volumetric hum" that resists categorization and the quiescence of resolution."

MSG - Opening Ceremony - New Age///\\\New Life - Back Yard Projects

My Friend Morgan Silver Greenberg just had a show at Back Yard Projects called New Age///\\\New Life.
Opening Ceremony did a nice interview with him written by Elizabeth Hirsch.
Check it out....

I remember seeing Morgan's photographs four or five years ago, that he had been casually taking with a small point & shoot camera. They were dreamy, magical, sensitive, thoughtful, and graphically inclined images from his adventures alone and with friends. I encouraged him at the time to show the work to people and pursue his ideas more in depth. Morgan is incredibly intuitive, his creativiity is magnificently abundant, and his humility and openness really shows through in his work. Congratulations Morgan!
