Assemble Your Own Book: Lucas Ihlein in Publicity at Artspace

2007-05-25T07:53:00.000+10:00

Lucas Ihlein's residency in Petersham became the blog the Sham and now becomes an object, that is to say a book, and one that you have to put together yourself. It's all about becoming and collaboration. At Publicity at Artspace.

My copy speaks volumes about me: A little bit rough around the edges, shoddily stapled and with a special misprinted cover and inscribed "Foe Margie, Where we sat in my kitchen. xx Lucas 24/5/07" I will post pictures as soon as the batteries are recharged :).

" These mechanized assemblages derive from natural laws and principles, such as chaos theory, fractal geometry and biomathematics. For Smith, these systems are the means by which to organize the larger world, as well as the basis for an artistic language that elucidates our appreciation of nature and its essential beauty.
Smith’s installation consists of multiple sculptural elements created out of natural and man-made found objects. His materials range from industrial supplies, like fine grade steel wires, to electrical and computer-controlled parts, up to and including glass beads, insect specimens and rare-earth magnets. His chandelier-like sculptures call to mind biomorphic structures such as jellyfish, viruses (magnified), or dandelion seeds, each then set in motion by the air flow of tiny fans or the viewer’s movements."

Dylan Martorell makes nice drawings

2006-10-21T19:06:00.000+10:00

It seems you always discover the best things if you're willing to walk up or down a set of stairs.

That's what I did when I first happened across the work of Melbourne artist, Dylan Martorell, at a shop on (I think) Brunswick Street when I was visiting the city for the first time in 2002. I seem to remember he was on the phone trying to scare up something really hysterical like a chainsaw and a bear wearing a kilt. That's not it but it's the spirit of the moment so you'll have to settle for that version of the past. I took home a flyer that had a nice drawing of a crocodile on it and pinned it to the wall.

He makes dreamy, intricate little worlds and some of the meanest (in a senstive kind of way) band posters this side of Seriographe Populaire

He also seems to be doing really well...I came across his work again today on Tokion and see that his zines are being published by Nieves

Candle Building-11 Spring Street

2006-10-21T12:18:00.000+10:00

The Wooster Collective has a nice little story up about 11 Spring Street, a building in Manhattan.

I remember this building well. Or rather, I have a lot of half memories, half dreams about it and I'm not sure which are true and which are false. Did I stand and gaze at the candles in the window and speculate wildly? Did I once talk to someone going inside? Did I go inside? I'm not sure. One thing for certain, the mystery is about to end. File under inconsolable.

Hope Gangloff

2006-09-09T08:39:00.000+10:00

Hope Gangloff has a show opening this month at the Susan Inglett Gallery in New York City. I first encountered her drawings in pen in association with Sweet Action, porn for girls, and loved the use of simple black, blue and red pen. (Reminded me of those 4-colour Bic pens from high school.)

The bleary-eyed hipsters who populate Gangloff's drawings are inconsolable, possibly a bit incorrigable, but in all the right ways. (And not to worry, they have forgotten theirs in a whirlwind of late nights and romantic distractions.)

I like illustrators. Ran across Roderick Mills work today in a New York Times story about debates in the US surrounding science and politics. His illustrations are drawing that seems influenced by the printing process and layered media.

the problem of an inconsolable memory

2005-05-22T10:16:00.000+10:00

"It sometimes seemed as if the author of the Book of Fish, the storyteller William Buelow Gould, had been born with a memory but neither experience nor history to account for it and had spent forever after seeking to invent what didn't exist in the curious belief that his imagination might become his experience, and thereby both explain and cure his problem of an inconsolable memory."

from Gould's Book of Fish
by Richard Flanagan
