New Publication
Just got published in a new book last week! It's a catalogue of up-and-coming artists, 188 pages total, and it's quite lovely. Glossy pages, beautiful photos. Yay. :)
Trevor Gould, excerpt from book forward, Pg 8.
"Working from the notion that power is produced from one moment to the next with the help of every individual, I define my practice around societal issues that I desire to change. Using performance, ritual creation and object making, I focus on the invention of stories and myth which parallel our current societal space, yet create new ways in which society can relate to others and the environment. Through small actions, and an inclusion of others into the dialogue for societal change, I seek to change the structure of the system by changing myself."

"There is no way out of it, "we are now in a material environment," says jonathan Crary, "where earlier 20th century models of spectatorship, contemplation and experience are inadequate for understanding conditions of cultural creation and reception." The tension expressed in these works on display is precisely because they teeter on the edge of these circumstances that dominate social thought between depletion and renewal, belief and reason, digital and analogue, living and dead. Each of these artists attached to one or the other cognate field, expresses in their work this dissonance, a depletion of some form of social and cultural values embedded in history, while engaged in a kind of renewal based on completely different referent points."
