moderní :: postmoderní :: současné umění

"My favorite art is the art I don't understand." Pae White
"Umění chce tvořit konečnost, která vrací nekonečno." Deleuze a Guattari
"The ‘value’ of particular artists after Duchamp can be weighed according to how much they questioned the nature of art; which is another way of saying “what they added to the conception of art” or what wasn’t there before they started. Artists question the nature of art by presenting new propositions as to art’s nature. And to do this one cannot concern oneself with the handed down ‘language’ of traditional art, since this activity is based on the assumption that there is only one way of framing art propositions. But the very stuff of art is indeed greatly related to ‘creating’ new propositions. That there is no ‘truth’ as to what art is seems quite unrealized." Peter Coffin z rozhovoru

Composite Bamboo Forest
2004

paper, cardboard, mixed media, approximately 7' high, dimensions variable

Using low resolution jpg images downloaded from the internet, I distorted images of bamboo so they created wrappers for cardboard tubes. A simple image search revealed numerous different depictions of bamboo: forests, individual plants, close-up images, and a range of textures. The resulting "composite forest" is a physical manifestation of bamboo as it exists online and, essentially, in the public imagination. The stretched and distorted images create what look like a warping of space, with the digital quality of the low-resolution images becoming enhanced and abstracted.

This work is part of a larger series in which I am "searching for the Phillipines"--my place of birth, and from which I am culturally removed from--and attempting to find it via the internet and at a distance.
