Jody Hanson: Imperfect Your exhibition title, Imperfect, is a bit unusual. Can you explain how you came to this title? Though I had moved away from traditional silversmithing, this was not my only break from it, back in my studio I was These days I’m thinking of myself as a “reformed working with Plexiglas, liquids and light. While I thoroughly perfectionist.” While my works are formal in design and enjoyed the process of working with metal, I found that these format, these works allow for natural variations due to the other materials/mediums where more appropriate to the choice of medium and the handmade quality of the work. works that I wanted to make at that time. Allowing these uncontrollable factors to remain as a part of Where does your work go from here? the work has been challenging for me, but this past year has I am always interested in light. Sometimes the works are so been a period of transition and thinking about perfection. subtle –they take a real quietness to appreciate. I have a framed Thinking about how in the end perfection is a flawed concept series in mind to start next and it will be very different from and so daunting to attain –which is not to dissuade the the oil or salt drawings, as it won't be about materials pursuit –but to know how to temper it. It can be paralyzing to migrating or growing. I might have the salt integrate with strive for ultimate perfection because you’ll need to come to light because there is an intriguing potential for light-play off terms with coming up short. How did you start working with salt? the salt surface. I'm still figuring the materials out, learning what is possible In 2003, I was living in Salem, MA while working on the and how to try to achieve certain effects.

I picked up different papers and boards yields completely different results a copy of Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky at a local and I am so often surprised at what happens. For the recent bookstore as well as some specialty salts, also in the area. I work, I have been working primarily at night because that is a had a spare room in my scholars’ suite and I started laying quiet time. The first thing I do when I get up the following down salt solutions onto paper at night. morning is see what transpired overnight! Michael J. Beam, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions Interview with the artist conducted in August 2013. Salt drawing (2003- ) The initial investigation of this series began while living in Salem, MA, a region steeped in history and a formidable import/export center from 1782-1812. Among the many import items was salt, used heavily for its preservative qualities. The technique used to create these works includes multiple varieties of salt, dissolved in a water/salt ratio that is then applied to the paper, allowed to absorb and grow crystals. As a further exploration of crystal formation, the works included in this exhibition use chemicals such as Copper Sulfate, Potassium Ferricyanide, Chromium Potassium Sulfate, Aluminum Potassium Sulfate. When transitioning from a liquid to solid state, these chemicals naturally grow into crystalline form. A variety of salts provide a range of colors and patterning. Using the basic concept of a Mandala, I have created meditative focal points of patterns, energies and radial balance. The Mandala, Sanskrit for circle, has a history of use by many cultures and Eastern religions. The process of creating and viewing the Mandala involves a spiritual journey, in an attempt to reach and share a peaceful plateau.

Le cas de Williamsburg à New York et 798 à Beijing Christian Morgner Introduction 1 Conceptual debates on the rise and decline of art districts often rely on an explicit or implicit use of the gentrification model (Zukin, 1982; Hudson, 1988; Miles, 1995; Ley, 2003; Cameron & Coaffee, 2005; Curran, 2007; Pratt, 2009; Dörfler, 2010; Harris, 2012). Gentrification often explains urban cultural change as having either organic or preplanned roots1. The first model explains that artists (painters, sculptors, dancers, writers etc.) move into derelict, poor or sometimes crime-ridden areas as part of a wider bohemian lifestyle or as a way to find affordable space in which to create.
