LSD

 

                   

        This is a photo taken by Benoit Paille. It is titled "LSD" which I feel is deemed appropriate seeings as how the caption was so beutifully typed by someone who was clearly intoxicated. I do love this photo for it's intermingling of nature and the astronomical beauty of the stars. I think the reds of the leaves correlates well with the dark blue sky and stars.

MICHELANGELO ANTONIONI’S FILM CLASSIC AND PHOTOGRAPHY

                 This article is about the film ‘Blow-Up’ by Michelangelo Antonion and how he used the photographic ideas from famous photographers and incorporated those ideas into the making of the movie. Blow Up tells us about a fashion photographer by the name of Thomas, played by David Hemmings, who secretly photographs two lovers in a park and then later enlarges the picture believes he has coincidentally documented a murder. I like how he went out to study fashion photographers in their work while preparing to create this movie. I think photographs seen in this article are really good for the time and era they were taken in - this one is my favorite because it creepy and in a sense dark, which gives the movie some angle.

#FF: 13 Aperture Summer Open Photographers On Instagram - Aperture Foundation NY

                                   

                  On July 17, Aperture held a summer expedition to view photographs by artist outside the contemporary demographic. I thought this was a good idea because it was a good opportunity for other photographers to get to have their work viewed by a broader spectrum. Executive director Chris Boot, chose a select few photographs to display on the walls. He mentions that by doing this project he could see that for photographers today, "serious photography, above all, was characterized by a sense of joy." This particular photograph, among them, was perhaps my favorite. The photographs were selected from Instagram which has grown into a widely popular social media used by nearly everyone with a smart phone. This photograph was my favorite displayed because I enjoyed the vintage technique used in taking the photo and the actual photo itself - I also love how the colors all correlate into the shot.

Showing a Career, From the Legs Up

 

                                                                 By, Ken Johnson

              I chose this article for the art content because I enjoy this particular type of art. It's very creative and fun! This picture is festive and shows a mans legs cleverly and carefully installed into a wall - becoming the wall, thus becoming part of the art work that is! This particular art work was crafted by Robert Gober who continues to make really creative objects and implementing them into modern day art.

Article Review 9/25

                                                    



                                   Acacia Johnson's Origins

              

                 In this article the author discusses art expressed in romanticism and surrealism - specifically Acacia’s Johnson’s “origins” photography. In this photograph by Acacia Johnson, we see a wonderer gazing the land of Alaska in a way that seems so nostalgic. I only say nostagic because that is how I feel when I look at this photo. I feel nostagic for a place I've never seen or experienced. That is what makes this photo wonderful to me, the fact that I can feel something that may not even be what the photographer was feeling when she took the photo. I like the way the author brought to question about photography being seen from beneath the surface, looking beyond what we see or even looking at it from the same perspective of what the maker sees. The author discusses art and talks about how the work you put into it should reflect through the photos you take. When I look at her photographs I can feel the sense of beauty she sees in the world and I wonder about the amount of time and energy the photographer took to take such beautiful photos.

 

 

Greg Sand: Altered Memory

By, Aline Smithson

 http://lenscratch.com/2014/09/greg-sand/

            In this article the author discusses the work of artist Greg Sand and the surrealism she felt in his photography. The article is appropriately titled “Altered Memory” because that’s exactly what his photos entail – everyday things we are used to seeing altered to make you question what you are looking at and question what you know. The title immediately grabbed my attention to the article and I was interested even more when I saw the photographs. I really like what Greg Sands photos entail. I like that he took a simple photos and turned them into huge question about life and existence. In the article, Greg Sands talks about how photography allows us to capture a fleeting moment and see the temporality of life in that moment. I really enjoyed this article for the photos and I think it is a wonderful idea to play with photography the way Greg Sands did here. Our minds get use to seeing the same things everyday that we need more altered art in order to expose our brains to different ideas.

                                             Objective in the Mirror #2 Art Fair Incident
                                                                   by Clark Flood

                                                                      A Review
       
       An artist travels to Clear Lake to meet with a big time collector who would hook him up with an art dealer to hopefully buy and promote his art. When being stood up by the collector, The artist and his own collector were displeased, but found the dealer at a booth in a different art fair. Clark associated him with the devil righ away. The dealer had no clue about the Clark or his art and this unexpected meeting surprised him. Clark and the dealer engaged in small talk but clark left the matter on a disappointed note. He had no choice but to let loose the rest of the night and enjoy the party that held there shortly after. It was then that he forced down a terrible bite of sushi, which led to 3am heartburn. His healer witch told him that the sushi bite was a terrible omen and to not do business with anyone whom he istinctively thought was the devil. Some time after he got word that the dealer was not interested in his art, but that he would suggest him on to someone else. Appauled at the dealers disinterest, Clark thought of the bad sushi he swallowed that night, and he thought of what the healer witch said. The situation would come as a lesson to him. Don't take a bite from the bad sushi.
