My talk is basically visiting my gallery space, IGLOO. So I am asking you to do 2 things:
1. Read about one artist in particular in the show, Ryan Trecartin (links below).
2. Think of a gallery/project space/collective in Portland that operates with low budget or no budget. I want to identify a variety of artistic venues and current themes of presentation. Can be anything from yearly shows, stores, homes, trailers, screenings: just a physical presence is necessary (not primarily web based). Share it with the class
Ryan Trecartin links:
Trecartin's process is founded upon a fluid yet orchestrated interaction between the artist and a group of collaborators - his friends, family, fellow artists, and various acquaintances he meets on the internet. These collaborators create and respond to a scripted variety of characters, themes, phrases, settings, and even vocal accents provided by Trecartin, who directs, stars in, and videotapes the resulting scenarios. Filmic segments then serve as raw material that the artist meticulously arranges and edits by digitally manipulating each frame and by intercutting and layering an assortment of synthetic imagery. The final work articulates a next-generation vision of contemporary culture and collaboration that collapses video, internet, television, performance, digital technology and sound into one unique manifestation, culminating in an entirely new mode of the medium.
