It took Israeli artist, Ayala Serfaty six years to create, Soma, which represents the topography of light using thin glass filaments that are woven into a skin like membrane. The artist has created a number of variations of this piece all with different topographical landscapes. I think it looks like the glowing white of a fresh snow fall because of the inner lighting.

SOMA BY AYALA SERFATY. http://mocoloco.com/art/archives/012555.php Midden I have taken inspiration from the Australian Aboriginal ‘midden’ by representing the dry, bleached shells with organic wax shapes. I have made three sizes of organic shapes, the three lives represent the male and female adult and the children in the tribe. I have stacked the shapes to show the layers and generations and the passing of time, the interior illumination represents the spirituality of the site. A 'midden' is the remains of an occupation site of the Aboriginal people. It is where they left the remains of their meals, discarded artifacts and sometimes burials occurred in ‘middens’ if the surrounding soil was too hard. Some locations have substantial deposits that grew over layer by layer as generations used of the same area, and some middens are as deep as three metres.. When the Aboriginal people temporally settled in a certain area, they intentionally left the remains of the food they had eaten to the top layer of the ‘midden’ pile so that the next group of people to visit the area could see what had just been harvested. They would then choose something else to eat so they didn't over-use the natural resource. In this way ‘middens’ were a blueprint for the sustainable harvest of the local resources. ‘Middens’ are also an archaeological treasure trove because along with the oyster and cockle shells there were animal bones, artefacts and tools made from stone, bone or shell as well as human remains.

I decided to used a combination of wax and light for my exercise. I used fruit such as watermelon, rockmelon and passionfruit to mould my shapes. The individual shapes were quite delicate and a little difficult to handle therefore I would present my piece as a marquette and would suggest that the final piece be made from acrylic for example. I used whatever lighting sources I had at hand; a halogen desk lamp, a small halogen torch and a mechanics light, unfortunately this gave different colours from a blue/white light to a yellow light. I would prefer just one pure white light throughout the entire piece. The Wax Each component was created by dipping either a watermelon, rockmelon or a passionfruit into the hot wax. I found these pieces were very fragile to handle but the delicate nature would allow the light to grow and be defused within the shapes. I wanted to create an organic type shell shape in three different sizes. The different sizes represent the individuals in a family, the father, mother and child. The shell shape is gives the opportunity to stack, fill and upturn to allow variation and randomness. The Light I used a number of different light sources; what ever I had on hand. A flood light, a halogen light and three small spot lights. I set my wax pieces on a piece of Perspex, covered the negative space with black paper and set my lights under the Perspex allowing for the light to defuse through the shapes. The different types of lights gave different colours. I would have preferred the one colour. The spot light gave the whitest looking light and defused more evenly through the piece. Close-up of components Resolution Luminated view from above Resolution iluminated view from above Resolution Luminated Side view Suggested Installations My wax and light model is a maquette for a future project. The wax has given the translucency I was looking for with the up lighting. The lighting I would choose would be permanent pure white lights. The final installation will be made from white opaque moulded acrylic sheets in a much larger scale than the model. The larger ‘shells’ would be approximately two meters in diameter, making the overall size approximately six metres long and two metres high. Background Image: Howard, Caleb. 2002.

English language. doi: 10.1386/tear.4.3.169/1 Art games: Interactivity and the embodied gaze Graham Coulter-Smith Southampton Solent University Elizabeth Coulter-Smith Staffordshire University Abstract Keywords One of the most salient differences between fine art and new media art lies in art games the possibility for interactivity. Interactivity is not simply an inherent quality of art into life new media, it also relates to a crucial ethico-aesthetic premise informing decon- creativity structive art from Dada and Surrealism through radical art of the 1960s and installation art 1970s and into the present. The ethico-aesthetic premise in question concerns interactive art breaking down the barrier between the viewer and the work of art and bringing relational aesthetics art into life. More specifically the goal is to bring creativity into everyday life as an antidote to alienation and reification. Whereas new media art finds it rela- tively easy to devise art games that encourage creative involvement on the part of the viewer, fine art is severely hindered in its attempts in this direction by the traditional focus on the artist-genius and the transformation of the artistic prod- uct (whatever its material) into a precious object. It will be shown that creative games exist in fine art but they are for the most part designed by the artist for the artist. This is even the case with the most radical fine artists celebrated at the turn of the millennium such as Rirkrit Tiravanija who Nicolas Bourriaud put forward as a prime instance of so-called relational aesthetics.

  • Press Infinite Jester Frieze, October 13, 2005
    MARIAN GOODMAN GALLERY Infinite Jester On the occasion of his major retrospective at the Guggenheim, New York, from issue 94, 2005, Tom Morton on Maurizio Cattelan By Tom Morton (October 13, 2005) Maybe I’m just saying that we’re all corrupted in a way; life itself is corrupted, and that’s the way we like it.1 –Maurizio Cattelan In Philip Roth’s novel The Human Stain (2000) three anonymous men sit on a bench in the grounds of an American Liberal Arts college, debating the fall-out of the Monica Lewinsky affair. They’re brassy guys, with brassy manners, and one of them offers up the opinion that ‘If Clinton had fucked her in the ass, she might have shut her mouth. Had he turned her over in the Oval Office and fucked her in the ass, none of this would have happened.’2 His companions concur; yes, this would’ve been the President’s best course of action. After all: ‘You give somebody something they can’t talk about. Then you’ve got them. You involve them in a mutual transgression, and you have a mutual corruption.’3 Since the late 1980s Maurizio Cattelan has been making art that’s tough to talk about, or at least with much rigour or much candour. There’s plenty of noise made about Cattelan, sure (few of his contemporaries share his profile), but this is mostly composed of gasps of faux astonishment, or of a frenzied clapping that, while it applauds the artist’s work, also attempts to fend it off.

[email protected] NYC 1993 Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star Major Exhibition Featuring Over Seventy-Five Artists Examines Works Made or Exhibited in New York City Twenty Years Ago February 13–May 26, 2013 New York, NY…“NYC 1993” looks at art made and exhibited in New York over the course of one year, providing a synchronic panorama in which established artists and emerging figures of the time are presented alongside the work of authors whose influence has since faded from the discussion. Centering on the year 1993, the exhibition is conceived as a time capsule, an experiment in collective memory that attempts to capture a specific moment at the intersection of art, pop culture, and politics. “NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star” will be on view at the New Museum from February 13–May 26, 2013. The social and economic landscape of the early ’90s was a cultural turning point both nationally and globally. Conflict in Europe, attempts at peace in the Middle East, the AIDS crisis, national debates on health care, gun control, and gay rights, and caustic partisan politics served as both the background and source material for a number of younger artists who first came to prominence in 1993. At the same time, an increasingly active international network of artists, curators, and dealers contributed to a burgeoning global art world, amplified by the nascent tools of digital information.
