Sun Young Kang: Reader’s Art 12

Sun Young Kang: Reader's Art 12 Reader's Art 12:Longing for Home   Sun Young KangMost people experience the situation of being a “fish out of water.” As a foreigner far from my country, the meaning of this phrase has become painfully evident to me. In my experience, homesickness has not merely been a feeling of melancholy but something more like the suffering a real fish out of water might experience. I have struggled with my identity as an outsider, lost the ability to express myself because of language barriers, and struggled in a different culture. The fish in this book represents me: I have not been able to escape the feeling of being an outsider badly missing my home. However, the true focus of this book is that if we have patience and are willing to make an effort, there is always hope in even the most desperate of situations. For fish, water is their home and gives them life. Although the fish out of water could not survive. At the end of this book, it creates its own water. We can never permanently leave or lose our homes. Because our true home is what we create throughout our [...]

Claire Siepser: Reader’s Art 12: Longing For Home

2023-06-08T01:25:46-04:00Exhibition, News, Artists|

Claire Siepser: Reader's Art 12: Longing For Home Reader's Art 12: Longing for Home Claire SiepserChoices : This artist’s book is a personal exploration of reproductive choice. With the numerous and intense political messages and brash facts and figures, sometimes it becomes difficult to see the intensely personal nature of the choices we make about our bodies. Despite all the political rhetoric, it remains taboo to speak about reproduction in most circles. This book acts as a place of calm reflection about the choices I have made and why I feel strongly about women's rights. I have deep convictions regarding my own body but, despite these convictions, this issue makes each of us deeply vulnerable. I decided that I should create a piece that made me deeply vulnerable and shared my difficult trek towards being positive about my reproductive life. I wanted to share my vulnerability with the world in the hopes that it might speak to other individuals trying to make their way in the world. Reader's Art 12: Longing for HomeMarch 16- April 26, 2012 About Susan Hensel Gallery – Contemporary Art by Susan Hensel Opened September 10th, 2004 Susan Hensel Gallery was a gallery/ workspace presenting [...]

Elizabeth Schendel: Reader’s Art 12 Longing For Home Artist Elizabeth Schendel Elizabeth Schendel- I have always enjoyed looking through my family’s collection of photographs and listening to the stories that have been passed down and told over and over again, and I recently realized that my family’s stories are significant to me not just for what I can learn about the past, but also for the new perspective that I can take on the present.

About Project Gutenberg Project

2023-06-08T01:26:30-04:00Exhibition, News, Art|

About Project Gutenberg Project Project Gutenberg Project Description. Commentaries on the pace of everyday life are far from unique. But remain important as humans increasingly forfeit physical relationships for digital immediacy. The Project Gutenberg Project celebrates the beauty of book structures. Honors traditional book art processes, exposes overlooked materials, and draws attention to the gratification that comes from tactile experiences. Using the remains of books scanned into digital libraries. Project Gutenberg Project speaks to the lack of physicality in contemporary art and the trend toward fetishizing book objects. Full of irony, the project both embraces and criticizes technology while elevating and violating its subject matter. Equal parts commentary, prophecy and preservation. The Project Gutenberg Project compels viewers to reflect on their interactions not only with books, but with all physical objects in their lives.

An orderly procession

2023-06-08T01:27:59-04:00Articles, News, Art|

An orderly procession Project Gutenberg, the online archive of literature, ironically destroys printed books in order to salvage the information. Ironically, the process turns well ordered, collated text into a collection of dis-bound, chaotic materials that may or may not convey conventional information to us. With the project Gutenberg project Jeff Rathermel has collected this discarded material and compiled and re-ordered it into comprehensible collections of information. He has reconsidered the book in all its parts and has chosen attributes to highlight. Project Gutenberg project by Jeff Rathermel September 23- November 18, 2011 Opening Reception Friday, September 23, 7-10pm Susan Hensel Biography – Contemporary Art by Susan Hensel Learn about contemporary art by Susan Hensel. Susan Hensel received her BFA from the University of Michigan in 1972 with a double major in painting and sculpture and a concentration in ceramics. With a history, to date, of over 200 exhibitions, more than 30 of them solo, twenty garnering awards, Hensel’s desire to communicate ideas through art continues to be a powerful motivator. Hensel’s artwork is known and collected nationwide, represented in collecting libraries and museums as disparate as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and The Getty Research Institute. [...]
