My brother, Joester, is a star. Good article by Chris Ashley.
i saw that yesterday! the sunset stuff looks wicked, congrats! i only figured out recently - when you asked him how school is going, that Joester is the same Joe that is Joe Mckay your brother. ha. go me!
Hi Joe!(ster)
my friend lan thao was recently in town saying nice things about you.
Sibling rivarly dictates that I should downplay my brother's accomplishments, but as a matter of fact he actually is a big smarty pants and I think his work is great. I love this sunset thing he's doing these days!
That said, Myfanwy is also a smarty pants who does stuff with games and I dig her work a lot! She is in a show opening in Toronto tomorrow night at InterAccess AND another show opening on March 9th at Lennox Gallery.
I was wondering who that guy was when he was over at Sally's place, nattering away, while I was trying to watch a movie. (he just wouldn't shut up!)
Joe's work gets better all the time. The first piece of his that I saw was the colour game that he exhibited at wee works with Myfanwy (who is also on a roll these days) and I loved that piece for a million reasons. One problem I have had with art work that had a participatory element to it was that the participation generally involved gratuitous grunt work in fabrication. (I think that it was Peter Schjeldahl who had once complained that it was a tactic to get an artist's audience on-side) What Joe does is to provide his audience with the acts that contain many of the rewards you get when you are the artist. The other thing I really like is that the work is removed from the compressed space of a lot of digital work and placed in the realm of spectacle. The sunset piece is a stunner.
Dang, my cover's been blown!
myfanwy, I've just spent the last few hours feeling like a jerk because I had no idea who Ian Thao is. But upon second reading I realised you said lan thao and I'm much relieved. I have nice things to say about him too.
joe, that's alot of time to spend on that.
