I think iconoclasm is interesting. It's been an issue for any monotheistic religion that wants to distinguish itself from paganism.
Crucifixion and Iconoclasts, Chludov Psalter, mid 9th century This image is a page from a Medieval book of Christian parables, made on vellum. There is an illustration from a scene of the crucifixion, when people tormented Jesus on the cross by dabbing vinegar into his wounds. Below is an image of a iconoclast destroying an image of Jesus by painting over it. This work refers back to a Christian campaign during Byzantine era banning the use of icons and ordering their destruction. The psalter makes a harsh statement about iconoclasts by comparing them to Jesus’ tormentors. |
Guest Post: Leiflet drawing
This is my drawing of Draw Me a Picture (2007) by Steven Yazzie, currently showing in the group exhibit Sakahan: International Indigenous Art at the National Gallery, Ottawa.
From the dashboard-mounted easel in his art car, the artist drew the Monument Valley as he careened through the winding hills. Among the brilliant works being shown at Sakahan, this piece jumped out for its immersive approach to re-figuring landscape and relationships with place. Sakahan is a must see show, on until September 2, 2013.
Credit Card Curation: Manuel Fernández
For the closing reception of my solo exhibition 'The Axis of Something', I have curated a group projection event:
CLUSTERFUCK ZOO at Transfer Gallery, 1030 Metropolitan Ave., Brooklyn, New York.
Saturday July 13th, 7:00 - 11:00 pm.
"Clusterfuck Zoo”, an evening of animated GIF projections and alcohol, will focus on animal otherness, charismatic mega-fauna fights
and cross-species romance (always the romance). Are Unicorns animals? (yes) Does road-kill count (yes)
