lori nix

lately i've been having an obsession with wanting to create my own landscapes related to my past work. this came from a love i have of sculpture and work from artists like lori nix. i saw her work in the digital negatives class when we looked at a series she did called "accidentally kansas" which was about her growing up in kansas and her obsession with 70's disaster movies. the first image with the birds is from a different series but its the kind of depth of field i want to go for. the others are just funny, and about how u can die in kansas. lori nix

austin,

i don't know who did this, i found it on slapchopped, and it vaguely reminded me of austin's recent installation so i thought i'd post it here.
i'm sure if we messaged the guys who run slapchopped we could find out who did this.

Holy crap, Edwin Wurm's new series is incredible. I'd drive that car allll day

michael corridore.

i stumbled into Michael Corridore via Aperture and thought it related to Jason and Justin.

Jason: personal work -> dreamed. the houses on the end and the street shots in general.

Justin: personal work -> no where. the entire set is reminiscent of the things you're working with in that kansas town.

hope you guys like it.

AaaaAAAaaahhh Kansas!

Kansas is in the New York Times! Twice in a day!

One....for not so impressive reasons, you know renaming Topeka "Google" for a month to get Google's attention for their whole deal. Along with many other states who are doing ridiculous things. Although Kansas's video is particularly impressive. haha

The real link I wanted to share:
 Kansas Museum
A unique museum, honoring 1920's and 30's explorers, Martin and Osa Johnson, in Kansas was featured in an Arts Special slide show. The images are more interesting than what they have to say. But....I dig it. Thought maybe some of you might too.

Matthew Pillsbury and McDermott and McGough

I was digging through my artists bank today and found some artists for you guys to check out--particularly Katy and Cory. Take a looksie ladies!

First off I thought Katy should look at the work of Matthew Pillsbury. They both have similar mini themes, dinosaurs, museums, dioramas etc. Their esthetics are pretty similar too composition wise--more in terms of Katy's earlier work.
Mostly, his work consists of long exposures in public places, museums, shops etc and the pretty extreme opposite, very personal places, living rooms, bedrooms and back-yards. His two more well known series' are Hours and Screen Lives.

I'm sure many of you have also heard of McDermott and McGough--nonetheless, I thought I'd post some of their work to gander at. I thought the work would be especially of interest to Cory, and her earlier vintage magazine and collage work. The sense of humor and use of colors are sort of similar.
