Jackie Batey 27 April 2011 - 14 June 2011 Future Fantasteek! had been bubbling for some time before I thought of making it into a serial zine in 2006. I commute to work, about 3 hours per day - only 3 days per week though. I sit on the train and often draw or write to while away the journey. I soon noticed that my drawings were generally a visual rant about what had happened that day or week. Over the course of a year, I built up many images; some typographic; others drawn in the form of fake advertisements or patronising advice. When flicking through a batch of these sketchbooks it seemed like a fun idea to try and edit them into a serial zine. Themes kept reappearing - broken machines, rude people, apathy and quick fixes, fake medical promises, fashion, celebrity endorsements, xmas, commercialism, and on and on, and on... Strangely enough, drawing [down] everything This touring exhibition and catalogue celebrates the first that made me mad, made me smile more. So now I give the ten issues of Future Fantasteek! spanning the last 5 years. illusion of being happy person.

  • Google Photo Maps: Contemporary Art and Aerial Photography Visual Disturbances Mapas Fotográficos Do Google
    Google photo maps: Contemporary art and aerial photography visual disturbances Mapas fotográficos do Google: Arte contemporânea e as perturbações visuais da mirada aérea Grécia Falcão Introduction to the proposal In this paper, I propose a look to aerial photographs, more specifically, to photographic images captured from aircrafts and satellites to compose Google's popular geographic mapping system: Google Maps. This proposal consists of a reflection on the advent of the aerial glance in the art sphere, based on hypotheses about a possible “contact zone” between mimesis, abstraction and representation in the face of the visual productions in contemporary art. In order to mobilize these issues, I believe it is necessary to establish a keen eye to today’s artistic practices, set in a social reality that suggests the multiplication of the production and circulation flows of images in the current communication technologies. Therefore, I take as reference the work of Mishka Henner: Belgian artist who uses, as a source of research for his works, the photographic records that are available online, so that this reflective path will be developed from the description of two photographic series of this artist. The visual content that circulates on the Web is the source of inspiration and the empirical material for Mishka Henner’s art works: taking as example the photos available on the Internet, in addition to YouTube videos, digital graphic maps of USA geological survey, emails texts and algorithms that are on the Internet public domain. However, a good part of his art works is based on the appropriation of photographic images available in the research and map visualization services ALCEU – v.

  • The Wall Street Journal, September 2013
    The Wall Street Journal, September 12, 2013 With explosive disclosures about the long arm of the National Security Agency, the nation is engaged in an intense debate about privacy and spying. Now there is another snoop in town: the contemporary artist. Fine-art photographers are flocking to what some are calling "surveillance art"—a wide-ranging practice that includes trolling online to appropriate photos of strangers, presenting images of top-secret sites from the ground and air and using covert tactics to shoot unsuspecting subjects. The work is landing in major museums, appearing at high-profile galleries and fetching more than $60,000—even if some of it is lifted straight off the Internet. California artist Doug Rickard created portraits of blighted inner-city neighborhoods using Google Street View. Photographer Arne Svenson trained a Telephoto lens inside the apartments of a tony New York apartment building. British artist Mishka Henner used documents exposed by the antisecrecy group WikiLeaks to help verify his images of secret U.S. military outposts. German photographer Jens Sundheim tracked down more than 400 webcams with online feeds around the world and posed in front of them (he says New York City cops once questioned him for suspicious behavior by a traffic camera). "We're entering a place where so many pictures and possibilities are being uploaded onto the Internet in various facets—that's a new frontier," says Mr. Rickard. "I see it as a new age for exploration." Such work is being sought out by a new breed of collector as well as many established museums, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Tate Modern in London, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Yale University Art Gallery.

  • Edit Mishka & Henner Edith Tudor-Hart
    OPEN EYE GALLERY 2 MARCH – 5 MAY 2013 MAIN EXHIBITION MISHKA HENNER: PRECIOUS COMMODITIES ARCHIVE EXHIBITION EDITH TUDOR-HART: QUIET RADICALISM Open Eye is delighted to announce two major new exhibitions by photographer provocateurs Mishka Henner and Edith Tudor-Hart. Born in Brussels in 1976, Manchester-based Mishka Hennerʼs images derive from a multitude of sources – the Internet, satellite imagery and television, as well as the precious canon of photography. Hennerʼs recent works have stirred riotous debate within the photography community, calling to question traditional modes of production and authorship in todayʼs media saturated world. Recently shortlisted as one of the four photographers for the prestigious Deutsche Börse Photography Prize 2013, Hennerʼs exhibition in the main galleries at Open Eye presents brand new work never exhibited before from his series The Fields and Feedlots (both 2012-2013). For these works Henner has used Google Earth to capture meticulously detailed aerial photographs of oilfields in the Texas landscape, and the immense business of cattle farming, seamlessly compositing multiple images together to create ultra-high definition images which are printed large format. The exhibition also presents Hennerʼs controversial new work Less Américains, 2012, in which Henner has erased the faces from the portraits of Robert Frankʼs highly influential book Les Américains from 1958 (considered by many to be a ʻmasterpieceʼ of American photography). Less Américains is shown alongside a number of other works which investigate the photo book as a form, such as Photography Is (2010) which takes a live feed from Twitter every time the words “photography is” are used. Austrian born Edith Tudor-Hart (1908 – 1973) was a photographer, communist-sympathiser and spy for the Soviet Union, who used photography as a tool to communicate her political ideas.

[email protected] HOURS: Tue–Sat 11:00am–7:00pm ED RUSCHA: Books & Co. ED RUSCHA: Prints and Photographs Thursday, 12 March–Thursday, 7 May 2015 Opening reception: Thursday, March 12th, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm Gagosian Paris is pleased to present two exhibitions that explore Ed Ruscha’s innovation and legacy across printed media. The exhibitions are organized by Gagosian director Bob Monk. “Prints and Photographs” surveys Ruscha’s prints of the past forty years, together with rarely seen photographs produced since 1959, providing an in-depth examination of the unrestricted gestures that fuel his assiduous art. Ranging freely and dexterously across traditional, unconventional, or sometimes even comestible materials, Ruscha’s prints are a fluid forum for the spirited investigation of what a limited-edition artwork can be. His absorption and re-thinking of the requirements of each graphic procedure and format result in step-by- step transformations, a process that echoes the eternal return of the subjects that make up his broader oeuvre. Ruscha arrived in Los Angeles in 1956 to study commercial art at the Chouinard Art Institute (now CalArts), and underwent a six-month apprenticeship with a printer beginning in 1958. Attracted to the reproducibility, collaborative processes, and happy accidents specific to printmaking, he began to create lithographic editions, infusing the Pop and Conceptual sensibilities of the time with vernacular wit and existential melancholy.

  • Surveillance Art and the Politics of Digital Mapping Technologies Abstract
    Gustavo Velho Diogo Surveillance art and the politics of digital mapping technologies abstract In a moment in which the technological agency is creating ways to undermine our capacities to dis- cern vigilant systems, exercises of contestation over strategies and techniques of surveillance become a welcome domain of art. The focus on how artists are responding to issues involving the technology-based privilege of some to watch us and the power that such systems exert is put on Google and its digital mapping platform: the Google Earth. acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Martjin Stevens for the continuous support of my research. His guidance was essential for the produc- tion of this work. Also, I would like to thank Amanda Zacarkim for her patience, motivation, and immense affection. I could not have imagined having a better partner for this moment of reflection.
