“To Shoot or not to Shoot” by Vicki Schneider

December 30th, 2010 — 5:32pm
Recently I returned to the Musée d'Orsay. The first thing I did was to take the five floors up to the Post-Impressionist collection to Douanier Rousseau's painting War. Last year I regretted not having taken a picture of it to use in the classes I teach at the Lab School because there is no reproduction available (don't get me started about the glut of Mona Lisa postcards, posters, puzzles, coasters, clocks and the comparative dearth of other works of art: this is a whole other issue that deserves to be treated at length). Anywho. I was framing the picture in the viewer of my discrete digital camera and a little, tiny corner of an old leather jacket was in the picture. I waited a minute or so and then politely asked the man wearing the leather jacket if he could move over for a second while I snapped a photo. Well. He looked at me (down at me - I'm a mere five foot tall), his face of an equine sort, his bad teeth showing as his mouth dropped open, and didn't say anything for a few seconds. I thought maybe he hadn't understood my request, so I repeated myself, this time in English. That's when I got the snub of a lifetime (in a British accent, no less): "I come to museums to look at paintings, not to take pictures. What do you come here for?" Well, the Goddess of Repartee was with me that day (normally good comebacks materialize a few days later while I'm knitting or sitting on the pot): "I come to museums to take pictures, but I like to buy stuff too." He snorted at me, spun on his heels, and trotted off. This brings me to a subject that I've been pondering all year while visiting museums: to shoot or not to shoot. Susan Sontag in her book On Photography discusses the role it plays in tourism and vacations: people in today's mundus imaginum (I did that just to sound impressive - it simply means world of images) have come to depend on photos to validate experience. A young woman I interviewed from Berck-sur-Mer told me a joke the other day that I'm sure Sontag would have enjoyed: a friend asks a friend how his trip was, to which he replies: "I don't know, I haven't developed the pictures yet." Those who take pictures in museums often do it for just this reason: to prove that they saw the painting (this is especially true when the person poses with the painting as they would with a friend or family member). Taking a photo of the painting, "shooting" it (Sontag discusses the semantic reverberations of "to take" and "to shoot" in her book) means to capture it, to consume it; the photo serves as a talisman representing the visitor's taste and his journey through the museum. Taking pictures of paintings can also reduce one's own experience with painting. The camera is the thing looking at the painting, not the person. The person focuses on mechanical issues: framing, turning off the flash (if he follows the rules), and holding his hand still, so that the camera makes a good reproduction of what is right in front of him. It is as if I were to take a friend to a restaurant, watch him eat a good meal, and then ask, How was it? For to experience a painting is different from looking at its reproduction. Walter Benjamin speaks of the real deal as having an aura: just as radium emits radiation, a painting emanates the effort and presence of the painter which comes out of the painting to greet us as we stand before it. Taking a picture of an image is a one-sided experience. Looking at a painting without the mediation of the camera is a two-sided one; we enter into a dialogue with it. In his book The Open Image French art critic and historian George Didi-Huberman speaks of images as if they were organic objects: "Images embrace us: they open up to us and close themselves to us in so far as they conjure up in us something that we could call an interior experience." If we open up to the image, without protection or the desire to possess it, the image will reciprocally open itself up to us. I sound as if I agree with Mr. Horse Snob (Equi-Snobus), don't I? Well, that's just it. I did agree with him at the start of the year, but after spending time talking to people in museums about why they take pictures of paintings I have come to realize that there are some excellent reasons. It's easy to go to museums with preconceived notions about how people really don't take the time to look at paintings (such notions flatter one's own sense of cultural superiority); it's much more interesting to talk to people and learn that museums are in fact filled with people for whom art resonates quietly (or loudly) in their lives and that taking a picture of a painting doesn't necessarily mean that a museum experience is qualitatively any less for them than it is for someone who shuns the camera. Here are some interesting examples I've encountered this year about how the camera aids people's experience at museums: Kamilah from California keeps a portfolio of paintings on her computer that have moved her and writes about her experiences, a man I spoke to takes a picture of a painting only when he finds one that particularly speaks to him and doesn't know the painter well; he takes a picture of the painting along with the identification plate so he can further research the artist and the painting later. At the Louvre a few days ago a young Russian pianist living in Paris and I talked at length about Watteau's painting Pierrot, dit autrefois Gilles. She was so thrilled to have discussed the painting with someone that she wanted me to take her picture with the painting as a visual memory of our encounter (besides, her red hair matched the wall behind the painting to a tee). Finally, I've come up with my own use of photographed paintings in museums: as desktop pictures. I take just part of the painting (for instance, an up-close Courbet's signature from L'Hallili du cerf or part of the allegorical painting The Funeral of Love by Antoine Caron where one of the cupids looks at the observer - he alone does this - as if to say can you believe this painting?!). My favorite (and the one currently on my computer) is an up-close of Gilles, slightly off-center: his face, quiet and almost blank, reveals a different emotion, whispers a different story, every time I turn on my machine.

Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription

December 22nd, 2010 — 10:09pm

Neoteric Art: Tell us about yourself.

Russ White: Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription, I grew up in North Carolina with a formative stint in Mississippi. Having graduated from Davidson College with a BA in Studio Art in 2004, Saturday delivery Cialis (Tadalafil), I moved to Chicago with some buddies. After several years in an art supply store, as a studio assistant, Cialis (Tadalafil) price, coupon, doing prep work in a dreadful gallery in the Nordstroms mall downtown, Order Cialis (Tadalafil) online overnight delivery no prescription, and, generally speaking, pushing mops and making coffee for people I didn’t always respect, Cialis (Tadalafil) in us, I finally settled into making cabinets for a living, Where to buy Cialis (Tadalafil), which has been my day job for the past three and a half years. All the while I’ve been sculpting and just recently have begun a career as a freelance illustrator. I also sell greeting cards on Etsy and live in Humboldt Park with my beautiful, purchase Cialis (Tadalafil) online, talented wife and Walter, Cialis (Tadalafil) tablets, our gassy old grandpa of a dog.

NA: You create sculptures that have more of a "painting" appeal, Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription. Do you feel as if you are painting with wood or do you feel that your work is true sculpture. Please elaborate.

RW: Well, Cialis (Tadalafil) prices, I’ve always thought that my work was technically assemblage, Over the counter Cialis (Tadalafil), but I call them all sculptures as an easy shorthand. I understand the comparison to painting because the work is not terribly high relief and doesn’t tend to play with space, not to mention it’s usually in the form of wall-mounted rectangles, Cialis (Tadalafil) craiglist. And I’m even beginning to use acrylic paint on some of the wood in my newer work. Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription, But I never was much of a painter, so I hesitate to allow the comparison. Cialis (Tadalafil) pills, Even in Advanced Painting class in college, I wound up making sculptures and “painting” with woodstain; luckily my professor didn’t seem to mind. I’m very comfortable with pens and pencils, fast shipping Cialis (Tadalafil), but I never took the time to get good with a brush. Cod online Cialis (Tadalafil), They just never do what I want them to. On top of that, with my drawings and sculptures, Cialis (Tadalafil) trusted pharmacy reviews, there is not as much chance for revision as you have in painting. Once the ink or glue has dried, that part of the piece is effectively done, with the exception of some Photoshop noodling for reprinted illustrations, Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription. Cialis (Tadalafil) gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, I suppose I’m missing the point of the question, though, which is whether I am closer in spirit to sculpting or painting, Cialis (Tadalafil) in australia. I have to admit that working flat has been my preference, Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) online no prescription, and perhaps my crutch, all my life. I have drawn as long as I can remember and spent much of high school making Winston Smith-inspired collages from old National Geographic's, Cialis (Tadalafil) to buy online. Despite being exclusively sculpture, Cialis (Tadalafil) in mexico, all but two of the pieces in my senior thesis show were wall-mounted.

Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription, At the same time, though, I approach the construction of each piece the same way I do cabinets, as something, fundamentally, to be put together. I am also beginning to try to push myself out into space a little more, having come to the realization that the work can only move forward if the relief gets a lot higher, Cialis (Tadalafil) in canada.

But that’s an interesting question, Sale Cialis (Tadalafil), and a hard one to answer. I reckon it all depends on your view. Ultimately, Cialis (Tadalafil) in us, whether or not the work is “true sculpture” doesn’t deeply concern me. As I said before in our discussion of whether or not something is art, all I’m really interested in is whether or not it’s good art, Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription. Cialis (Tadalafil) for sale, NA: Discuss your work/thought process when starting a new piece.

RW: The inspirations for my work have varied greatly over the past few years. Initially the colors, textures, Cialis (Tadalafil) gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, and occasionally the forms of the wood I found inspired my compositions. Cialis (Tadalafil) in mexico, Later came a body of work based entirely on satellite images of farmland, inspired by a cross-country plane ride over the hundreds of miles of Sean Scully's we call the Corn Belt. And now, buy Cialis (Tadalafil) from mexico, after doing dozens of pieces with hard-edged blocks, Cialis (Tadalafil) overseas, I am rounding over the corners of each piece of wood in my work, which forces me into much looser compositions. Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription, A recent trip to San Francisco also helped me realize that my work needed some serious color, and that’s where I am now.

Technically speaking, buy Cialis (Tadalafil) online no prescription, each piece begins as five to ten drawings in my sketchbook, Cialis (Tadalafil) price, coupon, at which point I make a backboard and pick through my woodpile for the colors and surfaces I want to use. Next I use a Sharpie to draw out the composition on the backboard. Once I’m happy with my rough draft, Cialis (Tadalafil) from canadian pharmacy, I cut up a whole mess of little blocks, Cialis (Tadalafil) in australia, sand all the edges, and start placing and gluing them down in a disturbingly long and anal process.

Ultimately my goal is to make what I call empathetic objects, order Cialis (Tadalafil) no prescription, sculptures (or whatever) that are both confident and vulnerable. I aim for a tough beauty, Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription. Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) without prescription, NA: You also create illustrations. Is this more commercial-work oriented. Have you always done illustrations, order Cialis (Tadalafil) from United States pharmacy. Do you keep your illustration work separate from your sculpture work. Please elaborate.

RW: Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription, My illustration is definitely more commercial. Cialis (Tadalafil) to buy online, As I said, I’ve drawn all my life, but I have long been worried about making my favorite hobby into a job, order Cialis (Tadalafil) online c.o.d. Recently, Real brand Cialis (Tadalafil) online, though, I’ve decided to give it a shot, in the hopes of one day supporting myself entirely through art, order Cialis (Tadalafil) online overnight delivery no prescription.

Most people are surprised that I do both illustration and sculpture, Where to buy Cialis (Tadalafil), primarily because the two are so incredibly different. My drawings are usually goofy, profane, Cialis (Tadalafil) san diego, sometimes gross, Buy cheap Cialis (Tadalafil), and quite often political. In that way, the illustration is a lot closer to who I am as a person, with all the humor and the anger and the fart jokes that make up my day-to-day life, Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription.

My sculpture, I think, online buying Cialis (Tadalafil) hcl, reflects a longer view, Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) online without a prescription, a more sober and serious reaction to life. No politics, no funny business, Cialis (Tadalafil) prices, just quiet, Cod online Cialis (Tadalafil), solid, vaguely menacing beauty. Or at least that’s my hope, Cialis (Tadalafil) in usa. I’m sure that I have a long way to go before reconciling the two, Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) online cod, and perhaps they will never quite meet in the middle, but I am very pleased and lucky to have these two separate types of art therapy.

NA: What is your take on the Chicago art scene?

RW: Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription, To be honest, I exist mostly outside of it. I don’t go to or participate in nearly enough shows these days, ordering Cialis (Tadalafil) online, and so much of my time here was spent in the Around the Coyote circuit anyway (showed in seven different festivals… yikes), Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) online with no prescription, which was always a bit on the outskirts of the “real” scene. I am constantly engaged with fellow artists, but my engagement with the galleries and museums here is something I need to work on, Cialis (Tadalafil) prescriptions. That said, Purchase Cialis (Tadalafil), I’m definitely more interested in the Fulton Market scene, than, say, Cialis (Tadalafil) paypal, the River North scene, Over the counter Cialis (Tadalafil), just because they seem to be having a little more fun over on Fulton, and the work at places like Packer-Schopf and Linda Warren can be truly surprising and engaging.

I get the impression that a lot of people expect Chicago to have some inferiority complex because it’s not New York or LA, where can i buy cheapest Cialis (Tadalafil) online, but I’ve also picked up on a surging movement towards Chicago pride, Cialis (Tadalafil) medication, for instance with the many Chicagoans on display in the Modern Wing and with the recent, all-Chicago Art Loop Open. I also remember being impressed with Michael Darling, the new Head Curator of the MCA, in an interview with Paul Klein back in the fall, Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription. There was a time not too long ago, where can i find Cialis (Tadalafil) online, as I recall, Free Cialis (Tadalafil) samples, that the MCA was getting all kinds of guff for only showing Chicago-based artists in 12x12, and it sounds like maybe some of that guff got heard.

NA: You were recently a participant in the Chicago Art Loop Open, Cialis (Tadalafil) over the counter. How was that overall experience?

RW: I applied to the show primarily because of the high quality of curators, Buying Cialis (Tadalafil) online over the counter, and I was, for the most part, very impressed with the work they picked and especially proud to be part of a show representing exclusively Chicago-based artists, buy cheap Cialis (Tadalafil) no rx.

I am not a member of the CAC, Cialis (Tadalafil) in uk, and I hesitate to complain about a show that they clearly put a lot of work into. Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription, The turnaround time from application to acceptance was super fast, and the preparatory team did a phenomenal job, especially with pieces as intricate as Bernard Williams’ Buffalo Chart. And the so-called Hub37 was a pretty cool bit of hands-on technology, with micro-chipped magnets of every artist’s piece that visitors could take off the wall and slap on a computer screen to get more info on the artist, buy Cialis (Tadalafil) no prescription. Everyone I saw down there seemed to get a real kick out of it, Next day Cialis (Tadalafil), which helped keep the show from ever getting stuffy.

But I have to say there are two main things they could vastly improve upon. The first is lighting, where to buy Cialis (Tadalafil). Much of the work, despite being great, looked like shit, Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription. In Block 37, Fast shipping Cialis (Tadalafil), where my piece was hung, none of the pieces got any direct lighting; I heard more than a couple complaints from artists there and at other venues. The work was visible, but none of the colors in the show ever popped, my piece included. I hope they find a good solution for next year.

The second problem was the voting, which was stupid from the start. Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription, Call me an elitist all you want, but in matters of taste I don’t trust democracy. Aside from that, the ease with which the rules could be abused was mind-boggling, especially given the heft of the cash prizes (three totaling $50K), which were incredibly generous. I have no idea if any of the finalists cheated, nor do I really care; honestly they’d be fools not to (I’ve been called as much by friends for not breaking the rules myself).

But regardless of the technical details here, what pains me the most is this obnoxious tendency to turn every single thing into a goddamn competition. Not only is it tacky to reduce talented artists to begging for votes (a complaint I heard from a collector of mine present for the final hours of public voting), but I resent being put in the position to either envy the winners or suspect them of cheating. Admiration’s in there somewhere, but I’m afraid it tends to get lost in the mad scramble up the pile of money, Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription.

That said, hats off to the winners and to everyone in the show, and many thanks to the curators and the CAC, who (regardless of the faults we find in the final product) worked hard and did their best to put on a damn good show. Plus my piece in the show sold, so how bad could it have been.

NA: Are there any art blogs, art magazines, etc. that you keep up with?

RW: Neoteric’s at the top of the list; always fun to get into it with you guys on the message boards. Paul Klein’s Artletter Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription, is always good for a read. He is an earnestly excited guy who obviously loves art and who paid my work some very generous compliments at an Around the Coyote several years back. Another great blog, now abandoned but still accessible, is here. Not strictly an art blog, although my work and that of many other artists was featured there, but well worth a perusal. A friend’s blog, here, features some really great photography. Another couple of friends run this site, which touches on art, cinema, and activism, among many other terribly authentic and interesting topics, Buy Cialis (Tadalafil) Without Prescription. And I used to get Sculpture magazine, but I let my subscription lapse because, aside from the occasional spread on Ursula von Rydingsvard or the like, none of the work they featured ever raced my motor.

NA: Concerning your art career where would you like to be ten years from now?

RW: Well, wherever I am, as long as I am no longer “emerging” from anywhere, I’ll be happy.

In short: gallery representation, a space bigger than my garage to work in, and enough income from my sculpture and illustration to enjoy a comfortable life filled with good food, good whiskey, and more than one dog. A man can dream, can’t he.

Buy Epogen Without Prescription

December 13th, 2010 — 2:57pm

..."arguably the least love-struck woman in all Western painting." - Michael Fried

In his book Buy Epogen Without Prescription, Pictures and Tears, James Elkins explores the act of crying in front of painting—an act that if one is to believe him (and I do) strikes most academics to be as shameful as farting during an inopportune moment at the opera. Epogen pills, Before writing, Elkins wrote to colleagues, purchase Epogen online, Epogen trusted pharmacy reviews, friends who love art, and also posted inquiries in newspapers and journals, buy no prescription Epogen online. Epogen to buy, Everyone was asked the same, basic question: have you ever cried in front of a painting and if so, saturday delivery Epogen, Epogen buy, please share your story. His book is divided into "crying categories": one chapter is about the weepy reactions in 18th century France to the paintings of Greuze, order Epogen from mexican pharmacy, Buy Epogen online without prescription, one chapter is based on the experience of an art historian in front of a series of Rothko paintings, and one marvelously zany chapter is about "the Stendhal syndrome, buy Epogen from canada, Buy generic Epogen, " named after the writer Stendhal who lost his marbles for a short time during his first visit to Italy, so moved was he by the art and architecture he saw, Epogen tablets. Epogen in japan, Elkins comes to the conclusion that historical knowledge and emotion make for very strange bedfellows: "In most cases, history kills, Epogen from international pharmacy. Luckily it kills slowly, over many years, Buy Epogen Without Prescription. Epogen discount, During the long interval between the first poison pill and the death of all feeling, history can give a great deal of pleasure, rx free Epogen. Delivered overnight Epogen, [...] Art history continues to deepen my experience of images, and I keep buying, where can i buy Epogen online, Epogen in canada, reading, and writing books of art history, where can i order Epogen without prescription, Purchase Epogen online no prescription, even though I know I am slowly corroding my ability to address paintings with full emotions and an open heart." In short, knowing kills our ability to feel; there is no emotion where there is knowledge, buy Epogen without a prescription. Epogen craiglist, Darn. I learned a lot over the course of reading this book, Epogen in india. Buy Epogen Without Prescription, James, what are you doing trafficking the pills of detached wisdom. Online buy Epogen without a prescription, Thanks a lot.

Despite the trenchant thesis, Epogen over the counter, Free Epogen samples, Elkins knows that measuring tears is not a clear-cut science and says as much: "Learning did kill emotion for me, but I also have letters from people who know a great deal about paintings and still cry." Second, buy Epogen from canada, Sale Epogen, one would be hard put to argue that an un-wet yet jarring experience in front of a painting is somehow qualitatively less "emotional" than a similiar experience with tears. Finally, Epogen in usa, Buying Epogen online over the counter, one's own affective experience with art can differ from day to day: looking at something after personal tragedy is different from looking at something after a day at the office is different from looking at something after you've been dropped by your boyfriend, etc, Epogen buy. Where to buy Epogen, and this instability constitutes one of the miracles of art: each act of beholding is a unique creation in time, a singular creation between the viewer and object, delivered overnight Epogen.

It turns out that I am a happy exception to Elkin's conclusion: I've read loads of serious art history, the kind that revels in words like "ontological, teleological, metonymy" and have come out unscathed, Buy Epogen Without Prescription. Epogen in canada, I do occasionally cry in front of paintings (I also tear up while reading, the last time was in the bathtub while reading Rimbaud's correspondence), where can i order Epogen without prescription. Where can i buy cheapest Epogen online, In fact, my crying episodes in front of paintings have always been thanks to what I know, order Epogen online overnight delivery no prescription, Epogen san diego, not the contrary. The last time I cried was in the Musée d'Orsay in front of Edouard Manet's Carnations and Clematis in a Crystal Vase, cod online Epogen. Real brand Epogen online, At first I was simply entranced by the painting, by the brush strokes and colors, buy Epogen without a prescription. Buy Epogen Without Prescription, I looked at the painting for a few minutes, kind of "sinking into it" so that I was no longer looking at flowers or a vase per se but rather seeing how the shapes and colors echoed back and forth, as if calling each other into existence. Epogen paypal, Next, I pulled myself out and looked at the painting again as a compositional whole, order Epogen from United States pharmacy. Epogen to buy online, Then my learning took hold: I remembered that many of Manet's still lives (like this one) were painted at the end of his life when he was seriously ill and unable to work on large canvases. Méry Laurent, Epogen trusted pharmacy reviews, Epogen in uk, a good friend and former model (perhaps former lover too) would buy outrageous bouquets and take them to Manet when she visited him. I thought about how Manet had married his plain, Epogen for sale, Where to buy Epogen, portly wife Susanne out of a sense of duty, had agreed to pretend his son was his brother out of his mother's bourgeois priggishness (so that no one would know Manet had had a child out of wedlock), Epogen gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, Buy no prescription Epogen online, and all of a sudden the painting, bearing no trace of self-pity or pain, saturday delivery Epogen, Epogen pills, serenely beautiful, seemed itself like an outrageous gift from the painter to me, Epogen price, coupon. My eyes welled up with tears, Buy Epogen Without Prescription. Epogen to buy, Last week I met another weepy scholar, a former art student named Casey, Epogen tablets. Order Epogen from mexican pharmacy, Casey told me about her experience in the Musée d'Orsay in front of Manet's Olympia. She had spent years studying 19th century French painting and Manet was a personal favorite, purchase Epogen. Epogen in mexico, Yet, when she finally had a chance to see the painting in Paris it wasn't just an academic pleasure: "I felt tears in my eyes, buy Epogen from mexico, Next day Epogen, had chills, and somehow felt the painting all over my body." The connection was at the same time so intellectual and physical that she had a hard time leaving the room, buy Epogen without prescription. Epogen in india, I was happy to have found another educated crier and I asked her if she had ever seen Fantin-Latour's painting of Manet in the Art Institute (for, I have to admit that in addition to knowing a fair amount about Manet and loving his painting, Epogen from international pharmacy, Where can i buy Epogen online, I also happen to think that he was quite a stud and this painting does my opinion justice). We got up from the bench, in my excitement I may have taken her by the arm (I don't remember), led her to the painting, and then left her alone there, so that she could have a quiet moment with Ed.

NA: What is your take on the Chicago art scene?

JJ: I love Chicago and I love the Chicago scene. We have great artists, art and spaces to show here. There's a genuine DIY spirit here as well, where artists make things happen in super creative and cool ways. Buy Clonazepam Without Prescription, On the flip side, unfortunately, if you don't get your work out of Chicago, you won't make a living here. Every single artist I know who has achieved the ability to make it solely off their artwork has made their name in other cities and other countries. It's pretty unfortunate, but the collector support here seems pretty weak. People don't seem to see the value of buying original art here, unless they're buying from a NY or LA gallery. Sad but true. It also seems like there's a fight going on among some Chicago artists to be the torch carrier for what appears to them to be to be the authentic "Chicago" school, Buy Clonazepam Without Prescription.

Buy Clonazepam Without Prescription, We all gotta do what we gotta do to survive... nobody has the same story, and nobody should be expected to follow the same path, to achieve the same means.

Should of been a gut check moment, an opportunity lost to learn by staying away.

NA: Who has been your biggest influence?

JJ: I always go back to my grandfather, Phil Mehegan. He was my first mentor and had me feeling electric about my abilities from the time I was a larvae. I wish he was still alive so he could give me a swift kick in the ass once in awhile.
