our current political and physical environment.


Perry Bard
“Logic” DVD 2006
Philosopher Nick Pappas expounds on Aristotle’s definition of a syllogism using the
Department of Homeland Security as inspiration. Footage of Homeland Security at work in NY subways and airports mix with pure color while the syllogism dissolves into babble.

Aunrico Gatson

“Media Center” 2003 is a single channel video shown on three
monitors. It is a meditation on the atrocities of the War in Iraq through
the use of images lifted off the internet. The soundtrack is a Tibetan
Buddhist chant that expresses both chaos and order.

Horror Cycle: The Bloom of the Triffid
video • 2006

animation • 2006
The Bloom of the Triffid is a one and a half minute animation loop. In August 2006 one of the world’s most rare and remarkable plants, a corpse flower, bloomed in Brooklyn’s Botanical Garden. Visitors came in droves, attracted to the flower's monstrousness. Notably, in Victorian times, ladies were not permitted to view such a bloom due to it’s phallic visual reference. A webcam was trained on the bloom which released a gruesome stench. Throughout the week-long bloom, I tracked the webcam, fanatically downloading images. The title and soundtrack reference "The Day of the Triffids", a novel written by John Wyndham in 1951 and made into a cult film in 1962. Triffids are fictional plants that are capable of various animal behaviors including attacking and killing humans.

"Homegrown Allure" DVD 2007

Young tobacco plants open, close, and gently sway
in styrofoam cells. Fifteen hours become eighteen
seconds, only to become eternity. Excerpted from
a timelapse animation created during a month-long
exhibition at artMovingProjects in the spring of
2007.

Paul Slocum with Chad Hopper

"Hats"
"A big chunk of Slocum's screen space is taken up with a banal jpeg of
baseball hats on an armchair; the rest is a confused multiplicity of
windows opening and closing as well as overlapping and interrupting a guy
confessing on YouTube his unfaithfulness to his girlfriend." Tom Moody

Nuclear weapon in Iraq?

Send letter to Condoleezza Rice about Darfur

http://ga6.org/campaign/petition_rice/ixw3b7n24w7md75?
As an activist, a concerned American, and a supporter of the Save Darfur Coalition, I write to urge you to help reinvigorate and coordinate international diplomacy aimed at ending the genocide in Darfur during the upcoming summit in Paris.

I have recently learned about the unprecedented opportunity for the United States to join with France and China and form a diplomatic "troika" heading a new Contact Group of influential nations to end the crisis in Darfur. Such a coordination of international diplomatic efforts, complemented by the President's recent announcement of "Plan B" sanctions, could help bring real pressure on Khartoum to end its war against the people of Darfur.

It is clear that influential nations such as the U.S., France, and China could accomplish more working together than they have thus far by working separately. It is also clear that it is in each country's best interest to help end the conflict, build a lasting peace, and help bring stability to Sudan. And yet to date, none has done as much as it could.

The opportunity to launch that new initiative is upon you, with the "expanded Contact Group" meeting the French government has convened for June 25 in Paris. That meeting needs to begin a permanent process of sustained and coherent diplomacy to supplant the four years of ineffective and disjointed international engagement that has allowed needless death and suffering in Darfur to continue unchecked.

Effective international diplomacy and American leadership are long overdue for the people of Darfur. We urge you to support where possible and lead where necessary the efforts to coordinate international diplomacy towards Sudan. Strong and coordinated leadership from the U.S., France, and China could end this genocide. I hope that you therefore make the most of your opportunities to create that multilateral leadership during, and after, your upcoming trip to Paris.

Hillary Clinton divests

One has got to question this. Here is someone who is making money from the enemy.
Trust included stock in oil and drug companies, military contractors and Wal-Mart.
The blind trust held stock in pharmaceutical companies, including $250,000-$500,000 in Biogen Idec and Johnson & Johnson and $100,000-$250,000 in Amgen, Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline. It also invested in General Electric and Raytheon, two leading defense contractors. The trust had a varied portfolio, with investments in numerous other companies, including Exxon Mobil, BP Amoco, Walt Disney and eBay.
How can she claim not to know- is this what she is going to say as president. Say i did not know i have heard that before.

Propaganda in the studio

Barak Obama in progress. I have to wonder if taking what was a private studio practice and putting on-line demystifies things. Considering how esoteric things have been this is probably a good thing.
Hillary Clinton tape on tape off. While these works bear a formal resemble to Chuck Close
and will be related, my intentions are completely the opposite. This is not going to become a schtick, Sorry Chuck. http://www.barbarakrakowgallery.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/313
This is an artist i have thought alot about, and is not meant as a dis just something i had to try. In the end they flirt with photo realism i find that form of representation really empty and boring. Simulation is where it is at. For me each pixel could as well be a piece of code.

I say propaganda in jest as well, how could i promote two politicians at the same time?
Also, these last two paintings are made from the actual pixels, screen shots of very small images off their websites. Since starting this blog my video editing has stopped.

Recruiting at artMovingProjects

A young recruit the army is getting desperate.

Some of you might remember the truck shows artMoving did in the late 90's we pulled up in front of our host gallerys (Postmasters, Pat Hearn, Team to name a few during their opening and siphoned off their crowd. Well the U.S. Army has heard about it and are doing the same.

Zing 21

I curated a section of the Zing 21 that should be appearing on news stands shortly.
The page above is a teaser, Perry Hoberman (top) and Fred Tomaselli (bottom). The project is titled Democrazy in it we find some of my favorite artists covering my work. The painting underneath was my early critique of Pieter Ludwig.
