  • THIERRY NOIR Howard Griffin Gallery Los Angeles October 2014 to December 2014
    THE LA RETROSPECTIVE: THIERRY NOIR Howard Griffin Gallery Los Angeles October 2014 to December 2014 From 11th October 2014, Howard Griffin Gallery Los Angeles presents a retrospective of the life and work of infamous Berlin Wall artist Thierry Noir. In 1984, Noir was the first artist to illegally paint mile upon mile of the Berlin Wall. Noir wanted to perform one real revolutionary act: to paint the Wall, to transform it, to make it ridiculous, and ultimately to help destroy it. Noir’s iconic, bright and seemingly innocent works painted on this deadly border symbolised a sole act of defiance and a lone voice of freedom. In this landmark exhibition for Howard Griffin Gallery in Los Angeles, the artist’s first US solo exhibition, original works will be exhibited alongside rarely seen photographs, interviews and films, juxtaposing old and new to reassess Noir’s enduring legacy and contribution to society. The event also marks another first as the inaugural Los Angeles exhibition for Howard Griffin Gallery. A number of artists, musicians and free thinkers settled in West Berlin during the 1980s despite the difficulties of the time. Within a group which included David Bowie and Iggy Pop, was a rebellious young French artist called Thierry Noir. Thierry Noir was born in 1958 in and his monsters are a metaphor for the wall itself, Lyon, France and moved to Berlin in 1982 with one each one relating to his experiences or feelings of what suitcase.

  • A NAKED LUNCH with the MODERNISTS Painting As Practice
    A NAKED LUNCH WITH THE MODERNISTS Painting as Practice By Aaron C Carter BFA Victorian Collage of the Arts - The University of Melbourne 2005 A THESIS ESSAY SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF APPLIED ARTS In Fine Art EMILY CARR UNIVERSITY OF ART + DESIGN 2013 This thesis project intersects between both formal and creative writing styles that explore the potential of the written language to generate and promote material practice. Contextualizing contemporary painting both art historically and opening it up to broader range of influences such as memory systems and creative writing, all help to support my notion of painting as an open thinking model that acts as an oblique reply to both the everyday and art history. The thesis traces the reductive Modernist agenda with a particular focus on Australian art history, Dadaist diagrams and Modernist painting from 1958 to 1965; as an enquiry into the semiotics of gesture and the narrative potential of mark making. Working towards Post Modernism and how this has opened up the creative possibilities of painting now outside a critical and stylistic agenda. Through intersecting existing historical practices with more contemporary painters, I aim to suggest that painting is a practice that frequently looks to the past for answers, which subsequently leads my enquiry into various modes of appropriation Key notions through out the text are painting as a diagram and network, with Cezanne’s technique of ‘Passage shape,’ which I argue has had transitive effect throughout the course of modern art up to more contemporary practices such as Jutta Koether, who enacts the behavioral passage between objects in a range of multidisciplinary crossovers.
