about contemporary artists... "turning even the most utilitarian machines into vehicles for creative innovation" isnt this what i've been doing! "these works test the limitations and possibilities of how we see: not only what images will be shown, but also for how long and in what order" by Doreen Bolger director at the baltimore museum of art
"slide projection bridged aspects of still photography and film in a distinct and meaningful way" my work in a way is a direct link between the still and moving image "we notice a growing interest in continuity and imagistic flow in later slide works replacing an earlier fixation on the still image as the structural foundation of slide projection." Darsie Alexander, February 2005
"the strongest proponents of slide projection came from Conceptual and performance art, which emerged in the 1960's and 70's to explore the concept of time." good job i've researched the Conceptual movement..."a way to capture time by operating as a vehicle for photographs made at split-second intervals; moreover, as a system for automating and moving still images, it registered time, breaking and accelerating the time intervals between pictures"
"this is not simply an art which is dependent on the environment, or includes a comment on it, or can be conceived as a function of it. It is principally an art which acts on and transforms the environment" a critic on the rise of kinetic and light-based art "No moment is created: things-moments-are sufficient unto themselves...we see and measure things only by related distance or in terms of ordinal placement..things don't happen; they merely replace themselves relative to the framing edge and to each other."..."[it was] the analysis of motion which first moved artists" Dan Graham speaks about slide projections, and in particular the work of Eadweard Muybridge and Marcel Duchamps Nude Descending a Staircase (1912)... a work I had never seen before but strikes me as a interesting balance between cubist-movement, shape, and the language of nude paintings. However it is the MOVEMENT that really arrests me.
