  • 1 Speaker Abstracts Paintings, Like Computer Files, Are Storage
    Relationality in American Art Speaker Abstracts Caitlin Cherry, Assistant Professor of Painting and Printmaking, Virginia Commonwealth University “Painting OS (operating system): Self-Touching the Other” Paintings, like computer files, are storage containers for visual information. As some painters increasingly refer to “digital experience” as content, others unconsciously embed the peculiarities of the parallel reality of a computer's underlying code, replicating via a paintbrush issues unique to .PNG and .JPG file formats. As painters and computers develop a symbiotic relationship, the machine enfolds under the skin. In the process of making, the artist chooses to accept or veto the decision-making processes of the machine. If conflict between these two arises, it is characterized by our ergonomic and politicized relationship to the computer, and likewise by the blank canvas as a similar cultural storage container. Our orientations towards these interfaces and objects are gendered, raced, queered and imbued with personal and cultural history, influencing the outcome of any artwork produced with this machine as aid or collaborator. This lecture will examine emergent painting phenomenologies grounding my own artistic practice by viewing the painting as an object, exploring painting's relationship to the computer as a storage device, and utilizing painting-installation as a multistable technology. 1 Jennifer Doyle, Professor, Department of English, University of California, Riverside “Marxism for Artists: Life in the Iron Mills/Death of the Artist” For several months last year, Jennifer Doyle led a reading group with this talk’s title. This reading group was intended to create a space for artists and art workers to read and discuss Marx together, and to do that through a shared primary text — “Life in the Iron Mills,” an 1861 short story centered on an iron worker with the soul of an artist.
