You will be upoading studio exercises and outcomes, readings, reflections, and artist statements and examples of artist works here; as well as your own work in development. 

Each Week: I would like you to post up to 5 images from TWO new artists to PADLET each week.

They should be NEW aritsts you have discovered through current research. They could be from varied artistic fields - theatre/film/ photography/ sculpture etc however must relate to your current research.

Artist Research Channels: Try reading photography or art magazines (VAULT, Blindspot, GUP, Foam, British Journal of
Photography, Aperture, Art in America, ArtForum). Also, look at galleries and museums- both current and past exhibits. 

MOST IMPORTANTLY: 
I would like you to locate the artists' statement and copy it (or a link to the statement) here on PADLET - include the source of the images or the artist’s web site etc.

Each Week Post on PADLET:
1. TWO Different Artists
2. Up to Five Images from each artist
3. Artist statement or a description of the series
4. Link to the Source of the images and text.
You should have at least 24 different artist entries by the end of the semester.

She was hooked by the understanding of how colonial legacy shaped manuscript painting's fate. In this work she has repurposed some of the elements found in her earlier works and I particularly enjoy the layering of the paper and scroll like nature of the arrangement. Unfortunately I couldn't find an artist statement regarding this work. https://www.shahziasikander.com/artworks/echo ]]> 2021-08-13 04:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_williams19/fok024e0y33v69bt/wish/1677748198 Echo, Shahzia Sikander krho2691 https://padlet.com/amanda_williams19/fok024e0y33v69bt/wish/1677752622 Alternative view]]> 2021-08-13 04:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_williams19/fok024e0y33v69bt/wish/1677752622 Cave of Forgotten Dreams, Werner Herzog, 2011 krho2691 https://padlet.com/amanda_williams19/fok024e0y33v69bt/wish/1677768232 I recently watched this documentary about the cave paintings in the Chauvet cave in France. These are one of the oldest paintings ever found and are from the Aurignacian period (dating back 32,000-30,000 years ago) when Ice Age animals still roamed the Earth. For me, what was most surprising was the sophistication of technique in the animal paintings. It was something I wasn't expecting at all and always imagined these cave paintings to be mostly stick figures, however these paintings are shaded really well and many animals have multiple legs to show movement. Something that really stuck with me is that a lot of the scientists said that they felt as though they were being watched when they were inside the cave and that all sense of time and space was non-existent. This is a really interesting film and if anyone wants to watch it, it is currently 90cents on Apple.

The creation is somewhere in between photography and sculpture, functioning both as portraits and as fascinating scientific canvases that make you question the logic behind the organization of each piece.

From his earliest work at Vogue to his latest series of personal work, this resulted in powerful images that invite contemplation of Penn’s acute awareness of objects and their placement.
Penn frequently included elements of memento mori and selected subject matter that could, at first glance, seem unworthy of close examination, which give his images a "bite" that lingers.

This is a quote from Bill Fontana recalling his experience seeing and hearing a solar eclipse: "During the minutes just before the moment of totality (having a duration of 2 minutes), the acoustic protocol between birds, determining who sang at the different times of day became mixed up. All available species were singing at the same time during the minutes immediately proceeding totality, as the normal temporal clues given by light were obliterated by a rainforest suddenly filled with sparkling shadows. When totality suddenly brought total darkness, there was a deep silence. This recording was seminal for my work because a total eclipse is always conceived of as being a visual experience, and such a compelling sonic result was indicative of how ignored the acoustic sensibility is in our normal experience of the world. From this moment on, my artistic mission consciously became the transformation and deconstruction of the visual with the aural."

Seeing is much more immediate than hearing, sound is far harder to ignore than sight, sound is much more mysterious, much more of an enigma, than sight (in some cases)
