Photo Awesome

Today Avantika informed me that Susan Krause is helping to curate a show in Mexico. The work has to be sculptural and fit in a pocket (Avantika suggested small crumpled photos for example.) If interested you are supposed to email skrause@scad.edu or sjarvis@scad.edu ASAP. Peace.

hey folks.
My dad made it through his bypass surgery today.
The hardest parts over but we’re still not out of the woods.
Thanks for all the good vibes.
I hope you all have a great summer break!

Art House is sending out 300 disposable cameras to people all over the country. There are 27 exposures per camera, which leaves up to 8100 pictures to plaster our gallery walls with. Entry is open to anyone. $12.00 entry fee covers shipping the disposable camera to you and back to us and developing and hanging of the photos. There will be a grand prize and a bunch of smaller prizes for random categories!

“‘They wait for me to let my guard down, like predators,’ said Bilal, an Iraqi artist who has holed himself up in a Chicago gallery for a month with a paintball gun that people can shoot at him over the Internet, at http://www.crudeoils.us, 24 hours a day.”

So we’ve all mastered photography, artmaking, video production, editing, web design, broadcast, webcast, castnets, castanets, etc. You get the picture.

What’s next, you ask? Good question.

How about LIVE HOLOGRAPHY?!

Honestly, this is what one can call a super original project. Check it out!

(I, myself, have a handful of new little secrets unshared, thanks to photography…)

Enjoy!

Just relent and let the gospel in.

Open Letter

In an effort to increase awareness of PhotoAwesome.com, I’ve created a sign that anyone can print out and hold up in a photo. Sounds stupid, right? Yeah, I did this like 5 years ago, and it works remarkably well. The people in the photo almost always want to see themselves online. So if you’d like to participate, take some photos of random people with the sign this summer and send it in to be posted.

There’s a page devoted to this now which can be accessed from the menu bar at the top of the page under “Love“. All the info for submissions is on that page.

Hey,

Try this out.

This is the article on plagiarism/appropriation that I mentioned yesterday, by Jonathan Lethem for Harper’s magazine.
harpers.org/archive/2007/02/0081387

and this is the Washington Post story that led me to it…

“The Brooklyn-bred novelist (”Motherless Brooklyn,” “Fortress of Solitude”) is fascinated by what he calls ‘the mysteries of authorship — the idea that things arise in culture that don’t quite belong to anyone.’”
