I have an interest in all of the visual arts; painting, photography, film, and um, duh: fashion. This online quiz thing once told me I was a “Visual Thinker”... #OMG #SoTrue. So, I recently ended up in a Google black-hole exploring the work of Martha Rosler, an artist who primarily uses collage as her medium of choice. I was particularly interested in her most recent body of work, which incorporates images from modern fashion magazines within each piece. When someone decides to mix fashion within another medium, I totally geek out. Ok so at this point you’re probably like, “Fashion collages? Really? Giiiiirl, I decorated all my High School binders with cool fashion collages and you don’t see my shit hanging in no museum. Who cares?” So, okay, collage may not be the most difficult of mediums to master, but it gives Rosler’s work an emotional value that no other medium could not have achieved. An important aspect of her work is the fact that she uses only pre-made images, imagery that already exists in the world, independent of Rosler putting them together. The tension that this juxtaposition creates hits the viewer like a ton of bricks. See: We are a generation that has been inundated with war imagery. We are also a generation that has been equally as inundated with glossy fashion advertising. Separately, neither of these images get a rise out of us. We are desensitized to the violence of war just as we are desensitized to the facade of advertising. We have an equal familiarity with both. Rosler’s work forces us to confront this, and makes us think about the way the we process media today. Thoughts my fellow fashion lovers? PS- Sorry if this work has offended you but...well the best art does that, doesn't it? Until Next Time, Brittany
Une femme sensuelle au visage recouvert par un poulpe « couvre-chef », des cônes de glaces colorés plus grands que les grattes ciels, une femme sans tête tenant une brebis entourée d’une végétation dense; le monde réel n’existe plus. Décalés, loufoques et fous, les collages de l’artiste grecque, Eugenia Loli, sont pour le moins surprenants et inattendus.…

Posted on May 15, 2019 On this date in 2017, James Turrell opened the monumental art project he's been working on for more than 40 years to guests making big donations. An art project called Roden Crater. Roden Crater was a cinder cone - the remains of an ancient, extinct volcano - located in the Painted Desert of Arizona. And it wasn't for sale. This was back in the early 1970s. Artist James Turrell wouldn't take "no" for an answer; after working on the purchase for three years, he was able to buy Roden Crater. And then he was able to start building a naked-eye observatory for viewing the sun and the moon, winter and summer solstice, and other sky sights. What's the connection between a cinder cone and an observatory? Turrell is utilizing the remote location as a way of gaining darker night skies than most of us are used to. He's using the desert location as a way of gaining more sunny days and clear night skies than many other locations. And Turrell is utilizing the inner cone of the crater as a way of focusing our sight of the wide Western skies into a smaller viewpoint, a more narrow aperture. The observatory is not something that intrudes much into the desert landscape - it's what is called "minimally invasive" - and the tunnels and viewing spots inside the crater are specially engineered to create a truly different way of experiencing and seeing light. Now, when I first discovered that such a cool naked-eye observatory was being built - and so near me! - I assumed that there were one or two viewing spots within the crater. But there are TWENTY-ONE! And it may be that Turrell is planning an eventual 23 different viewing spots, plus six different tunnels connecting them! You can browse some of these spots, right now, before the observatory opens to the general public some time in the next five years, on this website. The lucky folks who already got to experience the Roden Crater had to pay quite a bit for their luck - they made $5,000 donations to Turrell's non-profit organization to fund further work. Some people kicked in another $1,500 for a hotel room, onsite dinner, and breakfast the following morning! Check out this video and this other video on Turrell's Roden Crater project, and this video that shows one of Turrell's other works (also seen in the still photo below).

Jan Lenica is the author of over 150 theatrical posters and film (e.g. Roman Polanski’s Knife in the water, Shakespeare’s Macbeth). They can be found in many collections and are often shown at individual exhibitions, in Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (1980), Kunstverain in Kassel (1981), Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (1982), Museum fur Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg (1991). Jan Lenica has been making animated films, in different techniques since the 1950’s. In the beginning he co-operated with Walerian Borowczyk in making Once upon... and House, which are now considered to be the classics of Polish animation. In 1959 in France he made his first individual film Mr. Head. His next films The New Janko Musician, The Labyrinth, Rhinoceroses and Still Life (the latter two made in West Germany) established him as one of the most talented artists of the genre. The distinctive work of noted Polish animator Jan Lenica is easily recognized by his simple but bold and sometimes surreal style. The son of a well-known artist, Lenica started out designing movie posters for Polish films. Prior to that he had studied architecture and music and art. He began animating with Walerian Borowczyk and with him made several award-winning cartoons. Much of Lenica's work is characterized by his use of cutouts, collage and carved backdrops.
