Geoform

 

 

In 2005 Julie Karabenick and Howard R. Barnhart founded Geoform, "an online resource and international forum focusing on the use of geometric form and structure in contemporary abstract art. The Geoform project explores and celebrates the continuing vitality and rich diversity of style and aesthetic intent of its practitioners worldwide."

Geoform includes an invitational Artist Directory, a growing number of interviews with artists listed on Geoform, and links to online resources concerning abstract geometric art.

Four of my images and a statement have recently been added to the site. The current interview is with Gail Gregg. Joanne Mattera, about whom I wrote earlier this year, was interviewed fall 2005. There is lots there to look at and read at Geoform.

Il Fiammenghino: Design for a Cupola

 

 

Results from the Sotheby's auction, July 5, 2006, London:


GIOVANNI BATTISTA DELLA ROVERE CALLED IL FIAMMENGHINO
MILAN 1561 - AFTER 1627
DESIGN FOR A CUPOLA WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND CIRCLES OF ANGELS AND SAINTS

ESTIMATE: 4,000-6,000 GBP
Lot Sold. Hammer Price with Buyer's Premium: 21,600 GBP

MEASUREMENTS
diameter 270mm
DESCRIPTION
bears old attribution on the mount: camillo procaccino
pen and brown ink and wash, heightened with white, on blue paper; circular
PROVENANCE
Lord Brownlow
EXHIBITED
Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum, Italiaanse Tekeningen, 1970, cat. no. 77 (as Camillo Procaccini)
CATALOGUE NOTE
The attribution to della Rovere was first proposed by John Gere and supported by Andrea Czere. The drawing is very similar to one in the Victoria and Albert Museum which has been connected with the decoration of the ceiling of the choir in SS Gusmeo e Matteo in Gravedona, near Lake Como, which is signed and dated 1608 (see Peter Ward-Jackson, Victoria & Albert Museum Catalogue. Italian Drawings, London 1980, vol. II, p. 85, cat. no. 807, illus.). The old attribution to Procaccini is not surprising as della Rovere worked closely with that artist.

Danielle Aubert's Excel Drawings

 

 

Danielle Aubert, among other things, uses Excel to draw, and is publishing one set, 58 Days Worth of Drawing Exercises in Microsoft Excel, as a book. I became aware of her work via a post at Rhizome (and a referer in my stats to a post followed by numerous clueless comments at Digg).

Her web site features a number of print and screen projects; one photographic project, Slept in Places, May-June 2005, reminds me of a series of drawings I made called Places I Have Slept, 2003. Though an intention to record or document is shared, the imagery is quite different. Lots of good stuff at her site.

About the Excel drawings she writes:

Microsoft Excel is a program designed to track and compute information, but here I am using Excel as a drawing tool. These drawings are a part of a series of sixty drawings that I executed (more or less) every day for fifty-eight days. Each drawing is in a new 'worksheet,' which is automatically set up as a grid. These drawings were made by changing cell preferences for background color, fill pattern, and border styles and from time to time inserting 'comment' boxes and letters or words. Other manifestations of these drawings are 58 Days Worth of Drawing Exercises in Microsoft Excel as Rendered for Web and Animated Daily Excel Drawings (2005, ongoing). A year's worth of drawings will be featured as part of a group show at Gallery Project, in Ann Arbor, Michigan (May 10 - June 18, 2006). They will be published as a book over the summer of 2006. Send an email if you would like to be notified when the book is ready.

Weblog reviews legit for artist bios

 

 

Gallerist and weblogger Edward Winkelman has recently written some posts with tips for artists about approaching galleries, resumes, etc. In the post about bios he writes

Bibliography
Number one question I hear about this: should I put online reviews in here. YES. Even blog reviews, Yes. Press is press. What a gallerist is looking for here is 1) are people writing about your work and 2) who is writing about your work. Just because a talented writer writes about you online rather than in print doesn't change either of those.

Google Analytics

 

 

I had heard that the wait for an invitation to Google Analytics after requesting one is long- weeks or more. I requested an invitation perhaps six days ago, and it arrived yesterday, Saturday. I activated it about twenty four hours ago, and this is what it looks like now.
