Julia's photography has a cineamatic quality to it. Repetition, pattern, colour.

Common Sense

Image is a process drawing for the work titles: Newsstand of the Future

The exhibition: Common Sense: An Exhibit about the American Dream has an interesting support website.

It discusses the work and demonstrates some of the working that went into the pieces. All the works are a response to the exhibition title.

Common Sense is a collaborative effort between Karl Sluis and Craig Stover

Looking at Things

This flickr collection of images came up called "Barack Obama Looking at Awesome Things". Made me laugh, the one with the Narnia wardrobe is particularly good - photoshop has a lot to answer for.

But more seriously....

I'm starting to look into the idea of looking, viewing and the contemporary issue's surrounding it. I'm not having much luck, most info is relating to 'how to look at art', which despite being good it is not what I am after.

Nobody talks about looking? I have a few books that I am reading but am after some more immediate gratification and hopefully links to artists who really consider this.

How do you communicate looking?

An 'unfashionable' future?

Marjetica Potrc, The Curve.

Frieze article: Future Conditional by Jonathan Griffin discusses images of the future and how in the past we would seek out books that depicted images of the future, today - these books do not exist. Film has moved into this territory.
Marjetica Potrc is mentioned alongside N55 and Fritz Haeg who have a focus on the future in conjunction with what we know through science, the works are often a commentary on current global crisis.

Revealing Evidence

The exhibition: Revealing Evidence by Shelly Goldsmith & Sarah Pickering may offer some insight into the idea's of making the unseen visable. Must read this article and report back.
