MASS MoCA :: Sol LeWitt :: Timelapse



MASS MoCA :: Sol LeWitt :: Timelapse

Anticipating the creation of my second temporary wall painting, a nod to Sol LeWitt, whose gesture of instructions was most pure.

Edwin Deen



“Edwin Deen is an artist of comic relief in daily life. Displaying remarkable collections of combined natural and cultural objects which at first sight seem quite trivial, however with a closer look uncover a web of cross associations in shape, color, function and meaning. Using existing objects as mind triggers. Whether the objects are empty shampoo bottles, a juicer, a pressure cooker, parts of a freezer, Deen sorts, organizes and converts the objects stimulating a broad range of associations triggered by his manipulation. Because many of the objects have been stripped of their every day identity their definition becomes undetermined, hereby opening their reading to be interpreted anew.

Edwin Deen’s work and practice is very close to that of a scientific laboratory, with projects like Terra Incognita (2009) showing water and plastic’s ability to transform from solid to liquid to gas undergoing phases of melting and evaporation, his endeavors are of utmost focus however he deconstructs what we “know” as opposed to building on it. In science things are proven based on previously proven facts. Science needs imagination and intuition other wise there would be no progress just as in Edwin Deen’s homespun laboratory the search is into the unknown. In Deen’s work the facts are disappearing and the imagination is physical.”

Action Office



Mika Tajima Versus the Cubicle | "New York Close Up" | Art21 - YouTube: artist Mika Tajima

“She needs decor, color, warmth, vitality and something as basic and all inclusive as dignity. She’s an action secretary and she need Action Office.” From an Art 21 about artist Mika Tajima. The same better-living-though-design sentiment that drives my recent work.

Advertising - Speaking to Imagination and Emotion to Sell Paint - NYTimes.com

As I continue to prepare The Sherwin Series for my Colorado State University exhibition, Denis Wood brought this NY Times article to my attention. Spot on.

Does anyone know the German equivalent to Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Franklin paints? I need the local pop culture references on top of my color research at the Bauhaus Archives.
