(a sort of paradoxical statement about the presumed dichotomy of abstraction and represenation.)<BR/><BR/>Similarly, the small, precise, idiosyncratic and closely observed paintings of Thomas Nozkowski are essentially abstract (bearing no recognizable subject matter) but they’re each loaded with a sense of a particular place or scene. Their content is the moment that we’re stopped in our tracks by mundane scenes from life which strike us with the force of art for no reason other than purely visual serendipity. Nozkowski is always credited with a protean inventiveness which would be better praised as an observant attentiveness to life’s unbidden visual epiphanies.Elwyn Palmertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12960036240060080086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-61475803288168890892008-05-19T17:58:00.000-04:002008-05-19T17:58:00.000-04:00Hey, see Blogger are now breaking these long threa...Hey, see Blogger are now breaking these long threads into pages.CAPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861096695503969576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-54489224004996135732008-05-19T10:01:00.000-04:002008-05-19T10:01:00.000-04:00frederic he's taking cues from forms found in life...frederic he's taking cues from forms found in life, and bending them into the paint. but the imagination is an environment also. there is no direct link, but there are some passages. whether an artist suggests it or not, there is no other way but to read from the cue-card of the environment around in some way. denial of this gets a lot of academics and other punks fairly excited, but in the end it's futile. from the outset we are all affected effected and predisposed. playful ability to invent (or reinvent) the real and the imagined in a debonair manner gets most people respectin no matter how much they might protest otherwise. or so i believed two minutes ago...webthinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01326120672162293479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-78915511214990038872008-05-19T09:58:00.000-04:002008-05-19T09:58:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.webthinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01326120672162293479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-10931284535442693272008-05-19T07:48:00.000-04:002008-05-19T07:48:00.000-04:00All in a day's werklehre, kamarad.All in a day's werklehre, kamarad.CAPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861096695503969576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-24723382939596496642008-05-19T04:43:00.000-04:002008-05-19T04:43:00.000-04:00Is he always directly referencing the environment?...Is he always directly referencing the environment?

That was the real issue in 1968, and we weren’t able to change it. Capitalist development has already bypassed it. On that level, we finally won: The State stopped being the Nation-State. We understood that through work, through the activity of singularities, which are distinct from masses or classes, and we could move from class struggle to a new form of social activity. The working class as such could turn into a multitude.

Nothing succeeds if prankishness has no part in it. Excess strength alone is the proof of strength.<BR/><BR/>Now therefore, while the youthful hue<BR/>Sits on thy skin like morning dew,<BR/>And while thy willing soul transpires<BR/>At every pore with instant fires,<BR/>Now let us sport us while we may;<BR/>And now, like am'rous birds of prey,<BR/>Rather at once our time devour,<BR/>Than languish in his slow-chapp'd power.<BR/>Let us roll all our strength, and all<BR/>Our sweetness, up into one ball;<BR/>And tear our pleasures with rough strife<BR/>Thorough the iron gates of life.<BR/>Thus, though we cannot make our sun<BR/>Stand still, yet we will make him run. <BR/><BR/>Rosenberg suggested that from the mid-1960s onward progressive culture ceased to fulfill its former adversarial role. Since then it has been flanked by what he called 'avant-garde ghosts' to the one side, and a changing mass culture on the other, both of which it interacts with to varying degrees. This has seen culture become, in his words, ‘a profession one of whose aspects is the pretense of overthrowing it.’<BR/><BR/>In painting he specially emphasizes Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse as pathfinders. The chapter Pyramide (Pyramid) shows the relationship and the differences between the arts. Kandinsky strives towards a joining of the arts to form a “monumental art”.zipthwunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761727194113640578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-34395247699306737432008-05-18T09:53:00.000-04:002008-05-18T09:53:00.000-04:00unrelated but doin the easy is a good thing someti...<A HREF="http://www.vimeo.com/925729" REL="nofollow">unrelated but</A> doin the easy is a good thing sometimes.webthinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01326120672162293479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-73487519360578980322008-05-17T14:00:00.000-04:002008-05-17T14:00:00.000-04:00something old something new<A HREF="http://www1.zkm.de/~wvdc/ascii/java/" REL="nofollow">something old something new</A>zipthwunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761727194113640578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-28251786753485496612008-05-17T09:33:00.000-04:002008-05-17T09:33:00.000-04:00I'm saving myself for the next post.I'm saving myself for the next post.CAPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861096695503969576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-68565720761757686852008-05-17T01:12:00.000-04:002008-05-17T01:12:00.000-04:00speak for a spell.speak for a spell.zipthwunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761727194113640578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-4822674608960855872008-05-16T22:20:00.000-04:002008-05-16T22:20:00.000-04:00The Noz and Dana, are they an item or what?The Noz and Dana, are they an item or what?CAPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861096695503969576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-73932569597645810582008-05-16T22:13:00.000-04:002008-05-16T22:13:00.000-04:00Corn poop is one of the greatest mysteries in life...Corn poop is one of the greatest mysteries in life. I grew up pondering the same question. This is what I think is happening:<BR/> When we chew corn, the outer coating slips off the inner kernal. This outer yellow coating is almost entirely cellulose, and is indigestible. It passes through the gut untouched, and emerges looking like a whole kernal, although it is mostly just the outer skin. The inside of the kernal is starchy and digestible, and that is the part that we succeed in chewing upIdon'tbathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052480971933487129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-87124653456343655002008-05-16T18:45:00.000-04:002008-05-16T18:45:00.000-04:00It's fine that he makes it look easy -- that's par...It's fine that he makes it look easy -- that's part of the appeal -- but in some paintings the space is a fast read.

I like that. Although, as Mike Kelley says, "its all associational."<BR/><BR/>One of the great things about Nozkowski is the specificity of each painting -- they have such a particular internal logic. I thought this show was overhung, though, which made the work seem sometimes repetitive. The last show was better, weirder, less overworked. Some of the moves he makes are a bit too easy... that washy background and the hard-edged, solid forms in the foreground make for a quick spatial read, like Terry Winters' lazy reliance on push-pull relationships. Nozkowski is best when he pushes the oddness and ambiguity, but lets the process show.<BR/><BR/>Still, he's one of the best painters out there, the real deal, & it's always a pleasure to see his work.y00phemismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13837775705314321881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-45346469424320626962008-05-16T08:32:00.000-04:002008-05-16T08:32:00.000-04:00How very dare you!How very dare you!CAPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861096695503969576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-28962533844521934592008-05-14T23:42:00.000-04:002008-05-14T23:42:00.000-04:00There are very few of us that can get there first....There are very few of us that can get there first.

What is it that drives them incessantly to pursue that extra inch, which often decides the fate of the rat race they find themselves in.
