Learning from Bildzeitung !
 |
| From montag |
Yesterday I read on one of my favorite +- 800 followed blogs, that 2009 will be (not) the Year of Twitter, no, but, the year of Video ! Wow, wasn't video for a long time integrated, we think ? Yes, it's used wildly since the big days of Youtube but maybe not with the documentary and artistic power and with the network potential this medium has.
A small+easy to use VideoCam called Flip is a huge success in the US (Thanks to Oprah, who also gave Twitter a boost recently) and Bild, the biggest German+European yellow press news paper reinvented Flip for a much cheaper price, called Vado, nice name btw, and selling it very successfully on Amazon for under 70 EUR. Bild now gets videos from all over Germany by its readers. Jeff Jarvis covers this development on his blog with "Flipping for the Flip" + 2 interesting video interviews
Lets take on this nice idea. Sure all of you have a little videofunction in your cell phone or photo camera (I even consider to get myself a Vado) and can shoot a minute or two about you and your studio, show us the progress of a recent work or things which you inspire.
Post them to Youtube and embed here or send them to me and I'll do it.
Lets interact more closely. Give me your ideas of our video-network.
Lets TWITTER ;-)

Horse Thief Issues
 |
| From Art Club Caucasus works by various artists |
This is Maya Green on horse back, an Australian artist I met in Georgia back in 1996, who gave me a great time this evening with the hint to discover the famous, but to me so far unknown, paintings on the Horse-Thief-Bush-Ranger-Australian-Legend-Theme of Ned Kelly by Sidney Nolan ! Wow ! I think when digging very very deep in my conscious, I heard of both of Nolan and of Kelly. But to be honest, that was a real discovery to me !
The famous bushranger Ned Kelly inspired Australian painter Sidney Nolan on a lengthy series of paintings imagining images in the bandits life - leading him to great pictoral inventions.
Ned Kelly's short life is so extraordinary packed with adventure that you should take the time (+-20 min) to read on in one of the best !! Wikipedia Articles I ever experienced.
Sidney Nolan got inspired by that colorful and violent short life, and I can imagine not a minor role played that strange Don Quixote like armor Kelly wore in the Australian bush fighting the State Police:
"At about dawn on Monday 28 June, Ned Kelly emerged from the inn in his suit of armour. He marched towards the police, firing his gun at them, while their bullets bounced off his armour. His lower limbs, however, were unprotected and he was shot repeatedly in the legs." Wikipedia
and here a slide show of 24 works (Burke and Wills Series, great camels + desert !)
There is a book on Amazon I ordered already: http://bit.ly/31uW1
(Contact me for if you are in Tbilisi to see it)
I am fascinated to have discovered this theme of the "Horse Thief" again in a way very unexpected, thank you Maya !!

Franklin's comment on criticism
and on the big general problem of art today:
"Given the track record of the last forty years, it's not impossible to imagine that art will never significantly influence the culture at large again. The primary driver of visual culture (not just art, but design, illustration, and any man-made thing with a visual element) right now isn't a style, it's a tool—the computer." more of this note at artblog.net here

Will Slow Art help us to survive the Time Warp ?
Ivan Pope describes the interesting idea on his blog about saving artistic quality and dignity through slowing down and calls it Slow Art. The question to me is, if art created outside the real-time conditions today can measure up, if it can have a real impact on us. I know Ivan as a fast producer of art, concepts, ideas and projects - in fact I doubt the seriousness of his proposal a little bit, because he himself wound need to change into someone very opposite. Please read his interesting concept first and then lets have a little discussion !
