ART Pen, ink, mouse Curator Yasu Nakamori’s provocative exhibit, “De- cipher: Hand-painted Digital,” opened at the Rotunda Gallery in Brooklyn Heights on Jan. 13. The show, on display through March 5, features art- work by 10 artists who employed digital technology in some way to create them. Through “Decipher,” Nakamori, a native of Osaka, Japan, explores the rela- tionship between works that are created by hand and those done on a computer. “Marsha Cot- trell and Claire Corey use incred- ible, detailed ges- tures and marking in their works that relate back to the 1950s and ’60s,” (718) 834-9350 The Brooklyn Papers’ essential guide to the Borough of Kings January 22, 2005 Nakamori told GO Brooklyn. “Certainly there’s a historical relationship between the current art practice and Jackson Pollock and those guys from Abstract Expressionism. In his time, he was activating new methods of artwork, too. You can draw an analogy.” Cadence Giersbach’s paintings investigate tourist sites, first by photographing the locales and then digi- tally manipulating the photos. An example is her “Ni- agara: Maid of the Mist” (2004), pictured above. “[Giersbach] grew up in the 1970s in New York As he likes it City and is very much interested in certain popular kitsch sites like Niagara Falls,” said Nakamori. “At Niagara Falls, the natural beauty is declining and Shakespeare director casts you look around at the horrible industrial site that surrounds the falls — the division between nature and industry. She’s interested in those dynamics of his daughter in production at the site.” Nakamori explained that Giersbach takes a pic- ture, manipulates it on her computer and then begins painting the image — from memory.
