SAartsEmerging » Ismail Farouk
SAarts has an awesome write-up on the artist’s work (by Rat Western). Sampling:
Whether it be a film on a continuous animated loop, a structured video installation, a performance work or a still image; there is a dynamism which occurs between Farouk’s geographer’s observations of the unfair logic of exchanges which characterizes urban living in the developing world today and his artist’s eye for rhythm, framing and irony.
From Paddy Johnson (via email):
Dear friends and colleagues,
This email is sent to announce Geeks in the Gallery, an Interview series between artists Michael Bell-Smith, Tom Moody, and myself which runs on Art Fag City <http://www.artfagcity.blogspot.com> from Monday June 12 (today [er, yesterday]) through Wednesday, June 14. I am particularly pleased with the results of this discussion as I think the artists do a excellent job at explaining some of tech concerns their art brings to the surface, as well as providing some very lively debate about these subjects and more. Tom Moody will be hosting comments <http://www.digitalmediatree.com/tommoody/comment/36471/> during this time on his site, so I encourage you to join us there for further discussion.Best regards,
Paddy Johnson
The closing party this weekend at Outlet went well – aside from the aforementioned NY Arts and MacFormat features on the series, also check out these glowing reviews in Die Beeld (English translation) and Pretoria News; there’s not a bad one on LQF, either. Abrie has decided to let the show run an extra week, so get out to TUT campus if you haven’t yet!
Finally, take a look at my flickr to see pix from the closing on Saturday, from the Memento performance yesterday, and new images of Sidonie – now 20 days old!
update – beeld article translation now live (rumor has it that the original Afrikaans is way more poetic, but you get the idea)
Art Fag City: Make Up Plan for the Worst. Week. Ever.
Thanks for the linkage, Paddy – and no worries; I understand those kinds of weeks :) Glad you liked the article and are sending peops over… Hope next week is better.
And in case you hadn’t heard, y’all, AFC is "simply the best and bitchiest blog on the contemporary and digital art-based galleries in chelsea."
I have that on good sources.
update: also linked from networked_performance along with memento – thanks, jo!
Note that the closing party is tomorrow @ 4pm in pretoria, and that the show has been extended an extra week til next Saturday! See today’s beeld and tomorrow’s pretoria news for reviews/features…
Time and Seeing
an exhibition of Compressionist prints
come have a drink with us, look at art,
and celebrate the birth of Sidonie Ridgway Stern (sorry, she will not be joining us)
Outlet gallery, Saturday 10 June, 16:00
earth (2006), metallic lambda print, 50 x 25 cm
Time and Seeing exhibits selections from nathaniel stern’s Compressionism – a "digital performance and analog archive.” Stern traverses bodies, spaces and objects with his scanner face, while the head is in motion. After being Compressed into digital images the size of a small sheet of paper, the files are then stretched, cropped and colored by hand. Compressionism is an exploration of media and perception, a transfiguration in Time and Seeing.
*The 11 pieces on show at Outlet are a preview for a large-scale exhibition of Compressionist works – ranging from photographic to traditional prints – in negotiation for early next year @ Art on Paper gallery, Johannesburg.
