SWILL CHILDREN PRESENTS INDEPENDENCE DAY 2010
Swill Children is pleased to be announcing 3 physical releases today as well as the launch of a new internet project: PAPERWEIGHT.
A little about PAPERWEIGHT:
Throughout the past decade, the internet has presented us with an array of alternative information disseminators. The influx of these ubiquitous platforms has resulted in the replacement of prior methods of media distribution, a good deal of which dealt with ink on paper. Though these time tested forms, such as books, newspapers, and other printed ephemera are increasingly less commercially prevalent, there is yet an actively growing community of artists working in these seemingly antiquated realms of ink on paper.
PAPERWEIGHT is a blog attempting to highlight such valiant efforts using the very means of their obsolescence.
PAPERWEIGHT features a stunning list of contributors:
Milano Chow
Jesse Hlebo
Chelsea Hodson
Anne Lai
Megan Plunkett
Veronica Rafael
Diwa Tamrong
Grant WillingEach month will feature a different guest contributor, the first being the lovely Rachael Morrison. Rachael works at the Museum of Modern Art Library in New York where she recently curated an exhibition on the work of Bern Porter. She is also an artist whose work has been exhibited internationally and she is co-editor of the magazine f.ART.
Without further ado, images and information on the new releases after the jump.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Humble Arts Foundation is pleased to announce the artists selected to participate in Manual Transmission I. Each artist (or collaborative group) will create a unique piece comprised of 36 exposures from one roll of 35mm color slide film. All exposures will be shown. Humble will exhibit the projects simultaneously on 10 screens during a one-night rooftop slide show scheduled for July 31, 2010.
Manual Transmission is an analog response to a digital culture of isolated viewers flipping through single images online. There is still great potential in the unique aesthetics and collective experience of the traditional slide show. Further, in focusing on a photographic technology that has seen its heyday come and go, we are reminded that the current methods of digital photography and web viewership will also eventually exist as obsolete and anachronistic.
In Manual Transmission, Humble presents each carousel as an individual artwork in an attempt to move the creation and dissemination of new photography out of a digital space into a more tangible one, even if only for one night.
Commissioned Artists: Ben Alper, Carey Denniston, Matthew Gamber, Rachel Herman, Alexander Ho, Jibade-Khalil Huffman, Jeff McLane, Garret Miller & Curtis Hamilton (collaboration), Paul Mpagi Sepuya, and David B. Smith
