Artist Shout Out: Susy Oliveira

Artist’s Approach:

Through her tri-dimensional works designed to evoke the virtual modelings simulating reality, Susy Oliveira questions our habits of replacing nature with fabricated replicas. In her works, there is a playful dynamic which associates the characteristics of photography with those inherent to sculpture. Their structure incorporates the angles and features of some giant origami. The photographs are mounted on each face of a volume to restore the three dimensions of the image. Through this process, the shape is both simplified and amplified, giving the photography a volume, an ambiguous character oscillating between reality and fiction. (via)

Music Archive: Mission of Burma “Red” (Live)

This video captures Mission of Burma, one of the greatest American rock bands, in their prime performing “Red” live in the band’s hometown of Boston at the Bradford Hotel on March 12, 1983. “Red” is from Mission of Burma’s debut EP Signals, Calls and Marches, which was released in 1981 on the indie label Ace of Hearts. Their full length follow-up Vs. with its masterful mix of punk, pop and avant-garde experimentation continues to be a seminal record to this day and has inspired countless other bands including Nirvana, Sonic Youth and fellow Bostonians The Pixies. This footage was taken from the companion DVD to the 2008 reissue of Vs. by Matador Records.

Artist Shout Out: Fred Tomaselli

The Brooklyn Museum is set to host a mid-career survey of artist Fred Tomaselli’s work. The show runs October 8, 2010–January 2, 2011 in the Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing, 5th Floor. Read on to find out more about Tomaselli from the gallery:

This focused mid-career survey presents a selection of Fred Tomaselli’s unique hybrid paintings and collages from 1990 to the present. These layered paintings combine cutout images of plants, birds, smiling mouths, and hands (clipped from field guides and magazines) with passages of paint and actual prescription pills and hallucinogenic plants to create highly stylized, eye-popping compositions. Tomaselli’s artwork draws upon a wide range of sources from both popular culture and art history, and from his own hobbies of gardening, kayaking, and bird-watching. Growing up near the desert in southern California, Tomaselli felt the influence of nearby theme parks, with their manufactured reality, and the music and drug counterculture of Los Angles in the 1970s and 1980s. His distinctive melding of these influences coalesces into a folk-driven, utopian vision of the mythic American West and of lush gardens as sites of contemplation, loss, and possible redemption. One of the pioneering artists who moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in the 1980s, Tomaselli continues to live and work in the borough.
