I had the pleasure to fly to Beijing for a MESO project recently. Very exciting city with, believe it or not, lots of Chinese! More surprises caught with my camera:

frankfurt’s museums
Sunday, 16. September 2007

…are definitely worth a visit. Best spots to go so far:
MMK - ugly from the outside, but great collection inside!
Schirn Kunsthalle - nice, changing exhibitions. Currently the “John Bock Films” can be recommended.

toilets 2006-2007
Wednesday, 25. July 2007

Yes, perhaps a strange way of recapitulating past events. But it works.
Being on a public toilet can be quite boring, so I started taking photos of this boring looking doors I was staring at. I’m doing this for about one year now, and I think it’s a good point to release the first “results”. The rules:
- every toilet is photographed when visiting it the first time
- the point of view is authentic and the image is not being composed in any way
- take the time to name the image correctly or you’ll forget the details…

ways to deal with public ads (update)
Tuesday, 17. April 2007

anti advertising

The growing amount of public advertising displays leads to creative contact with this medium:

update: the Grafitti Research Lab starts the projection battle.

Pixelator:
“In an attempt to broaden the scope of MTA’s video art series, Pixelator takes video pieces currently on display and diffuses them into a pleasant array of 45 blinking, color-changing squares. Since the project is an anonymous collaboration, the resulting video is almost entirely unplanned and unanticipated, with the original artists helping to create new works of art without any knowledge of their participation.(Translation: Pixelator turns those ugly, blinding video billboard ads into art.)”
Obviously influenced by Aram Bartholl’s TV Filter.

The Light Criticism Project by the Anti-Advertising Agency and the Graffiti Research Lab is not very recent, but fits perfect:
“We used black foam core ($10/sheet) cut with a laser cutter - but this project can be done with an x-acto blade, black paper, and duct tape. It can be repeated using any backlit display - bus shelters, display ads or television store windows.”

black spot
Monday, 16. April 2007

Black Spot is a project by Phil Coy:
“The first stage was to obtain a Satellite image of an area - in this instance Hyde Park, London. The second was to pinpoint a single pixel on that photograph and replace it with a black square of Polythene. The third was to take a second satellite photograph of the same area.”

I think he should have called it “dead pixel“…

The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal
Friday, 6. April 2007

grafitti

I recently tumbled over an interesting (and artistical) documentary which deals with the removal of graffiti by overpainting them. This seems to be a big thing in the USA, especially in Portland - I’ve not yet recognized something like that in this dimension in Europe.
The Movie is directed by Matt McCormick and spoken by the gorgeous Miranda July*. So, if you wonder where to get it, have a look at this great blog.

reminds me of: urban curators

* did I already mention that you absolutely have to watch me and you and everyone we know?

urban curators
Monday, 19. February 2007

What a lovely idea:
“The goal of the Urban Curators project is to engage the public in the celebration of the decaying urban environment, recognizing its inherent aesthetic qualities as well as the important role that it plays within our cultural habitat. The project achieves its goal by elevating common, overlooked objects and spaces within the city of Providence, Rhode Island to the level of high art.”
There’s a nice video on the official website
