I’ve had contact with a few other blogs/artists in the past few days and thought I’d do a little blog networking here and post them. The first was a post by my friend Nick (a.k.a. “Statictick”) who posted his written piece “daveDave” (inspired in part by me) on Dennis Cooper’s blog. Included was my recent companion video piece posted here a few weeks ago. Next, I got a kind comment on my “Recent Submissions” post from Liz Unterman who works at the Center for Photography at Woodstock, where I will soon be taking a class on Fine Art Printing so that I can be better at pretending to be a photographer. Liz has a cool art blog that is a Real Blog (she actually posts regularly, and it’s about other artists and stuff, not just the self-indulgent bullshit that I post). Anyway, Liz’s blog has some great posts and links and it looks good and is laid out well too (I’m working on making mine not look so lame…) and one of her recent posts was about a photograper named Matt Siber, so I clipped and pasted her post about his work below, but I suggest you go check out her original post on her blog too.

| Tags: billboards, Conceptual Art, photography | Category: Friends, photography/digital, reviews | Here’s a new thing – I’m gonna post my submissions to various contests, fellowships, galleries, etc. These first 3 have already been submitted (the deadlines were Oct. 1st), but I’m planning on adding submissions to my blog before I submit in the future. Here are 10 prints that I actually printed and submitted for a $1000 fellowship to the Center for Photography at Woodstock – This first one was for a fellowship of $1000 only open to people in the neighboring counties where I live (there are a lot of us). I didn’t “win”… This second one is also to CPW for their quarterly magazine – I haven’t heard yet on this one, but I’ll update if I get in. Here’s the photos I submitted to the prestigious West Collection, which is a seriously important contemporary art collection in Pennsylvania – major “emerging” contemporary artists in the collection. There were over 16,000 submissions (up to 10 per person) – 10 people will win a $10,000 prize and be in a major group show (fat chance – I’m outta my league, but what the hell) – I submitted 6 photos (with 2 details) as well as 4 video/installation works, and they will announce the winners on December 1st. Here’s the videos I submitted to the West Collection Channel: Votive
Monitor (excerpt)
Metaphase (excerpt)
End of Summer, Endless Night
You can also view my work or other submissions from the West Collection at their site, or you can view the other video submission there or at their YouTube Channel. There’s a lot of great stuff on there (also lots of crap), so it’s fun just to be in their online collection, even if for only a few months. If you go there, log in and vote for me – Hey, it can’t hurt! One comment
| Tags: Conceptual Art, photography, portfolio, video | Category: photography/digital, portfolio, recent work, submissions, video, video/sculpture/installation | A new video work is complete! This has been a busy week – I’ll add a bunch more stuff that I did a few days ago in the next post, but I wanted to add this video first, as it was a “commission” for my friend Nick for his new short written work titled “daveDave”, which will be performed as a reading along with this video in the Detroit area in the near future, and eventually be published in a limited edition “chapbook” along with the video as a limited edition as well. More on that as it develops…. This video represents a huge departure for me, in that it actually uses the human form (myself), and it is not directly dealing with the natural landscape and industrial/technological infrastructure as a subject, but is metaphorical in its representation of natural phenomena – namely the growth of hair as a metaphor for the seemingly infinite renewal power inherent in Nature. More chatter after you view the video:
Now click below for some extra commentary and background, or continue to the prevoius post… Continue reading Narcissus Kisses Sisyphus (or Dave Shaves: A Self Portrait) |
