I read with interest Katherine Berger’s well written analysis of how a growing number of filmmakers in the 21st century are using both handed down handmade, direct-on-film animation techniques as well as their own new ways of making use of interacting with the analogue film itself. As Berger points out, these direct-on-film techniques are by their nature process oriented, in which many artists discover the film’s form and subjects in the course of the film making. Berger goes on to point out that many art movements are based on theories of discovery and chance. The specific use of found, or appropriated footage adds a layer of questioning truth and authorship into the mix; film artists are questioning filmed or photographed images as “historical truth.”

Owen says, “I paint what I see around me. The physical union of individuals with objects that occur in my paintings suggests that although the individuals are in control of the objects – a car, an I-pod, an office desk – we are also paradoxically controlled by the objects.” His world view and intentions translate into his work in a bold and figurative way, representing his unique, creative vision. I’d like to see the artist explore more vivid colors in his palette; he’s got a long career ahead to make such explorations if he wishes.

This great abstraction remains unblemished, unfortunately some people in The Mission and other neighborhoods are taking to the awfully distasteful, horrible habit of tagging street art that an artist has probably spent hours, days or weeks working on. Ah, the price you pay if you post your work out in the open. I know, right? Still, you’d like to believe we could live in a world where whoever needs to vent their anger, frustration, creativity or any other mood that strikes he or she upon pulling out the spray paint,  would find somewhere else to do it and not destroy somebody else’s work. Or, not do it at all since, well, it’s illegal. Graffiti on graffiti? Somewhat oxymoron-ish, isn’t it? Suppose city supervisors and lawyers would have trouble trying to fashion a law protecting street art. So we leave it to neighbors and other local residents to LEAVE THE STREET ART ALONE!

had a great time working on this one – an exploration within an exploration, searching within. Earth tones, terrestrial looking visual themes continue to be explored, a sense of movement – on the way somewhere, or watching others in motion.

Watz has exhibited at venues like the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), Todaysart (The Hague), ITAU Cultural (Sao Paulo), Museumsquartier (Vienna), and Galleri ROM (Oslo). He is a lecturer in Interaction Design at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design.

Watz is also considered to be one of the primary theorists of generative art, what it is and what it could be, analyzing technology, culture and art theory to continually investigate the rapidly evolving generative art aesthetic. He gave this presentation to the Eyeo Festival in 2012; the 2013 Festival is June 5-8 in Minneapolis, MN – full details here.

According to Dolby Chadwick’s exhibition notes, “Robert Kingston looks at his work as the piling on of mistakes and hesitations, using this as a journey of contemplation and discovery. The results are beautifully complex layers of gestures and markings – making for oil paintings that are cultural explorations reminiscent of cave markings totemism, semiotics, iconography and other non-verbal means of communication.”

He is often compared with Cy Twombly, both drawn to ancient or tribal cultures, markings, scratches, primitive visual histories, abstract visual cues, legends, myths, codes and systems of cryptic communication. What makes Kingston’s work unique are his use of space, the rendering and meaning of his markings, his beautiful palettes and composition.

The comparison to Twombly and other Abstract Expressionists suggests to this writer that Kingston is tapped in to many different interpretations of culture, history, and on a personal level, a highly trained, albeit intrinsically human curiosity about our need to interact and express with the world’s rush of images.

(BLOUIN ARTINFO:) After more than 75 years in the shadow of its glamorous cousin, San Francisco’s “other” bridge is getting a chance to shine. The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge has been turned into the latest — and by far the biggest — backdrop for New York artist Leo Villareal, who has individually programmed 25,000 white lights spaced a foot apart on 300 of the span’s vertical cables to create what is being billed as the world’s largest illuminated sculpture.
