Art that Iterates
September 4 – 28, 2012
MACY GALLERY
Teachers College Columbia University
Proposition
What is an open art? What is an art that becomes itself as a condition of its being? How can immanence, as a characteristic, be present in a work of art?
The problem is that art usually resolves as a condition of its being. The picture, sculpture, symphony, is — it is this, or that. As such, in the gallery or the concert hall, the exhibited work is complete and passive, awaiting only a viewer.
But in the studio the work becomes.
As artists we approach a kind of blankness, call out to it, fall into it, sometimes tentatively and sometimes passionately, but full of wonder and delight and mystery and agony. As artists this fullness is the condition of art that echoes most profoundly and keeps us longing for…what? What is the object of art’s longing? Can we speak of a longing that is not defined by an end-point? Can the openness of this evolving, not-yet-final condition be sustained?
Maxine Green and John Dewey (among many others) argue that there is a way of knowing that is rooted in openness, an ever-new becoming, an immanent exploration that releases the imagination. As artists we strive after this kind of knowing through our making and re-making. As artists we intuit this way of knowing as a necessary and, perhaps, even an obvious condition of our lives.
But as actors in the world we recognize art’s collapse. That is, again and again we realize that through our very actions we succumb to the worldly insistence that knowing be objectified, and instrumentalized. And we satisfy ourselves with an art that is finished.
Is there a doing that remains undone?
Goal of the Exhibit
My goal with Art that Iterates is to explore openness as a condition of the artist’s way of knowing, making, and doing. I hope the objects you encounter in the gallery will prompt reconsiderations of the artifact itself, and smear the boundaries between viewer/participant, art/non-art, and mediate/immediate.
We are crossing into a new age. We hesitate to leave anything behind—and perhaps we don’t have to—but moving fluently through our times calls for new understandings of learning, thinking, and doing.
I am deeply honored and indebted to all the artists who have so generously given of their time and energy to join me in this exploration. Thank you!

View large for best comprehension of technique details. This digital art is designed to be reproduced BIG (as in wall size), so the nuance does not even begin to kick in during any thumbnail version.
Part of a series generally titled "Visual Tapestries". See the Digital Painting Set for the full array.
Several commercial application possibilities are being considered.

As you might guess, this one didn’t work. It’s wheels were too close together so it would always fall over so I could never get it fast enough to see if it could lift off.

My final iteration of the red and green dresses was to try the green dress on a Nu Face doll. And who better than Alejandra Luna Billion Dollar Beauty with her red hair and beautiful jade green eyes. Alejandra gives me a distinct aristocratic bad girl vibe so that's what I was aiming to express in this photoshoot - like she's just got home from a party in the early hours and has taken her shoes off to sneak in via the library and maybe she will have a sneaky shot of whisky on the way...

Iterating a little so the relevant posts are picked out in white and non relevant are grey. In this way you can now quickly see all the posts in "sketches" for instance
Experiment done during the Free Art Sunday #4 an event organized by Free Art Bureau.
The topic was FOR loop iterations to create patterns.
All experiments we acheived during this day was explore the sin wave behavior.
This second iteration of The C.U.R.B. is a roving picnic through East Williamsburg in which guests will participate in various acts of environmental remediation and stewardship, followed by a meal of experimental tamales and wild brews foraged (almost entirely) from the city streets. Learn how Mugwort, Mulberries, Amaranth, Pigeons, and more came to be our neighbors, and what they can teach us about surviving and thriving in the midst of our own hot mess. Through citizen science and storytelling, Banquet host Candace Thompson seeks to render visible our fragile food web in the era of manmade climate change, explore our historically complicated relationship(s) to land, and imagine alternative forms of economy and ecology that are regenerative and resilient rather than exploitative and extractive. NOTE: this event will be video documented, and some of the food items are slightly contaminated due to human activity. As such, the meal is not suitable for young children, and individuals who are, or are planning to become, pregnant should use some caution.
