I’m moving into a new space in W. Oakland. A new studio is a rare and wonderful opportunity to start all over with eagerness to work, refined organization, and a total lack of clutter, which, as you may be able to imagine, I have problems with sometimes. I’ll be posting more once I’m moved in and settled.
Jeremy Mayer came by my studio yesterday to photograph his deer sculpture (the one on the left). We decided to do a group portrait with one of mine as well.
This is an informal talk with the artists featured in the exhibition “Machinations” at gallery 5 Claude Lane in San Francisco (July 14 – Aug 21, 2010). David Pescovitz from Boing Boing interviews artists Benjamin Cowden, Nemo Gould, and Jeremy Mayer and speaks with them about their works in the show.
Post on BoingBoing announcing a talk that Nemo Gould, Ben Cowden, and I will be doing tomorrow at 5 Claude Lane Gallery. Come on out and ask us something.
Great review of “Machinations” at 5 Claude Lane gallery in San Francisco, CA. Work by Nemo Gould, Ben Cowden, and me. Review by Cherie Turner for Visual Art Source LINK. More details at http://5claudelane.com
Jacob Epstein, Rock Drill, (Reconstruction by Ken Cook and Ann Christoper RA after the dismantled original), 1913-15, Polyester resin, metal and wood 205 x 141.5 cm
From the Royal Academy of Art Magazine, the article “In Search of Wild Things”, written by Richard Cork:
“Epstein may first have decided to make this immensely daring tour de force while watching men and machines cutting stone in a quarry. He later recalled: ‘My ardour for machinery (short-lived) expended itself upon the purchase of an actual drill, second-hand, and upon this I made and mounted a machine-like robot, visored, menacing, and carrying within itself its progeny, protectively ensconced. Here is the armed, sinister figure of today and tomorrow.’”
Applied Kinetic Arts (A.K.A.) is a community of artists working within the medium loosely defined as “kinetic”. Works incorporating motion, light, sound, and interactivity are represented by the group’s ever expanding member base. A.K.A. was founded in 2007 by artists Christopher T. Palmer and Nemo Gould with the intention of raising public awareness of this art form and providing a support network for its members, and others working within the genre.
