White Noir, Jane Yager | Paris Review
'whiteonwhite:algorithmicnoir, the new film by Eve Sussman and the Rufus Corporation... is, as the title promises, algorithmic. The film has no beginning, middle, or end. At each screening, a computer program live-edits a movie out of more than three thousand film clips, eighty voice-overs, and 150 pieces of music. Each of these movable parts is marked with loosely content-related tags (“horizon,” “anxiety,” “white”), and the computer fits the pieces together according to an algorithm that matches tags.'

Christian Marclay | Frieze Magazine
"Christian Marclay’s installation Tape Fall (1989) is a grower." A review from October 2002 about the artist's installation at SFMOMA. See also: "Video Quartet (2002), a new piece commissioned by San Francisco MOMA and the Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean, Luxembourg, is a much more ambitious approach to the intertwining of sound and vision. The 14-minute piece consists of four parallel audio-video channels, each one a montage of hundreds of musical scenes from classic Hollywood films, fused together into a dense and bewildering mix."

How Christian Marclay created “The Clock” | The New Yorker
On the art world's most recent hit, The Clock, and its creator. Lots of interesting tidbits here, such as his willingness to turn a blind eye to other's copyright to create his art while insisting that its display be under his control. I still want to see it, mind you.

The Future According to Mead | The Architect's Newspaper
Craig Hodgetts: 'Joining the throngs of the faithful as they jostled for a better view of his paintings, and searching in vain for even one fellow architect, one could not help wondering why the place was not swarmed by young designers. And one was reminded once again of just how insular the architects of the “Me Generation” had become. On display were images depicting cityscapes and buildings that might have been snatched from the most recent international competitions. Lustrous metallic surfaces, twisting towers, parametric volumes, all hauntingly beautiful, and all bearing dates—wait for it—from the early 1970s and ’80s!'

Jodorowsky’s Dune And The Greatest Films Never Made | The Quietus
On Alejandro Jodorowsky's ill-fated attempt to film Dune, including a look back at his career both before and afterwards. Full of moments of utter insanity, such as: "Dalí then insisted that he be paid $100,000 an hour to sit on [the throne]. He also deemed it essential that we see the Emperor defecating and micturating in the film — but a body double would have to do that for him." They don't make them like that any more. (Well, they didn't then either, to be fair...)

'"Walker Evans," the exhibition at Stanford's Cantor Center showcasing the photographer-artist who plumbed the poetics of documentary, makes this point only inadvertently. Consisting of vintage prints and related Walker ephemera from the collection of Elizabeth and Robert Fisher, it succeeds at least in making us wish for a refreshed view of Evans' work, even if that continues to elude us.'

Francesca Woodman -€“ review | The Observer
"Seeing so many photographs of Woodman, mostly naked, often posing in empty rooms with peeling paint and fading wallpaper, is a slightly disconcerting experience, though. It's not just that she becomes more elusive the more photographs you see, it's more the tightrope walk she takes between an almost adolescent self-obsession and artistic self-exploration."

"A [1960s] Air France card directs passengers to the closest axe—no further directions are given." A delightful piece about safety instructions, how they've changed, and their parallels with art.

All Real Atemporal Stuff. No Authenticity | POSZU
"Using a word like “nostalgia” is such a desperate sign of being out of touch, out of date, and so awfully-temporal in an atemporal time. “Nostalgia” assumes that there still was a temporal order in which someone could purposefully choose to “rewind”. It implies someone wants to “turn back a clock”, as if all our “wrist watches” weren’t synced to regulated network time via cell phone towers."

It all seems inexplicable to them." The NYT on Wojnarowicz, Sensation, Tate, the Smithsonian, and attitudes.

The slow-photography movement | Slate Magazine
"Defined more carefully, slow photography is the effort to flip the usual relationship between process and results. Usually, you use a camera because you want the results (the photos). In slow photography, the basic idea is that photos themselves—the results—are secondary. The goal is the experience of studying some object carefully and exercising creative choice. That's it."

"The essence of photography lies in its seemingly magical ability to fix shadows on light-sensitive surfaces. Normally, this requires a camera. Shadow Catchers, however, presents the work of five international contemporary artists - Floris Neusüss, Pierre Cordier, Susan Derges, Garry Fabian Miller and Adam Fuss - who work without a camera. Instead, they create images on photographic paper by casting shadows and manipulating light, or by chemically treating the surface of the paper." This is the sort of thing London does that I'll miss.

go see three screen ray in person | this is sippey.com
He's right: if you're in San Francisco, this weekend or next go and see Three Screen Ray at SFMOMA. (I'm intending to post a still to Flickr at some point; hopefully it won't get served with the takedown notice that hit the videos.)

Blood and tongues of fire | SFMOMA- Open Space
Subtitled 'volcanos and the psychology in the sky,' this is a look at the artistic response to vivid post-volcano sunsets. "An unscientific search of Flickr shows that the tag 'sunset' had a minor peak (about half again as many hits as usual) on April 15th and 16th–the dates the ash from Eyjafjallajokull began drifting over Europe. We’re reminded of Penelope Umbrico’s 5,377,183 Suns from Flickr, which [is showing] in the SFMOMA in the 75th Anniversary Exhibition."

A hagiography of sorts to Frank Pick and the art and design of the Underground in the first half of the twentieth century, contrasting it with the more recent efforts of Art on the Underground.

The Law, Ethics and Photography | Kunst Haus Wien
I half-remember bookmarking this when it was on in Paris (at Musée de l’Elysée) but I didn't see it there. Now it's on in Vienna.
