Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

This is kind of like a timeline of influential art works that I've seen. Invocation of my demon brother by Kenneth Anger 1969 [embed width="1000" height="563"]https://youtu.be/SN9rwO0xpmY[/embed] An earlier viewing experience that has stuck with me. It was during an intro to film class in college. Unforgiving in a lot of ways that Scorpio Rising is not. Legend by Candice Breitz 2005 [embed width="1000" height="563"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-3HlTouaEU[/embed] I saw the madonna incarnation of this concept at the MFA in Boston and at the time I was mostly doing video work that was trying to address pop music and it’s connection with the viewer/culture at large. So this was obviously very attractive at the time. There’s also just something beautiful about glowing old boxy video monitors. How not to be seen by Hito Teyerl 2013 [embed width="1000" height="563"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbOmXEnluzg[/embed] Saw this during a recent trip to the MOMA in NY. I seem to not have a lot of luck when I go out lately in terms of seeing work that I love. Partly due to not being able to make it out that often. By far my favorite thing I’ve seen in awhile though, probably since seeing the Roe Ethridge show at Andrew Kreps gallery.   And that last picture is from Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. If you can look past its blatant disregard for the Michael Myers storyline and just the whole Halloween universe, you will find a film filled with visual beauty.
