I-95.08

Here’s what happens on Sunday, May 4 2008 at Front and Mifflin Sts. in Philadelphia, PA. There’s 231 photographs under I-95 from 1PM to 4PM. All of the photos will be up at 1PM.

There’s photos for sale at the table, and maps and photo lists, golf pencils, water and pretzels. Color copies are 5 dollars each, please ask for them by number. Every photo in the show has a number written on the ground in front of the image. If you want to buy a copy, tell the people at the table the number and they’ll get it for you. Working at the table will be Laura, Masha, Charday and Savannah.

Savannah: #1 Sister of all time!
Charday: play niece
Laura: intern from Uarts
Masha: intern from Moore

At 4 when the show is over people are welcome to take the photos from the pilasters. There’s adhesive backing on the photos, so if you think you want to take one bring saran wrap or paper to put on the back. And bring some for other people, too.

For folks who are just wandering in who or don’t know about the maps and photos for sale at the table, please tell them how the show works.

---------

After the I-95 show two years ago, right after I was in the Whitney biennial, I felt that some people didn’t understand that the show wasn’t a “give away,” but rather it’s just that when the show is done the photos are left to the elements and people can take them if they want. I had some consternation regarding how I saw the taking of the photos after the show was done. I did want people to take them if they wanted them… but I wanted someone to take them on the basis of their engagement with the show, not on the promise of a piece of the show having monetary value. However, after that first year when the perceived worth of my photos shifted, I found that when I stepped back I really didn’t care what happened to the photos when it was done, just like from the start. If someone takes a photo it implies engagement, regardless of reason. And of course money is a valid reason… what the hell was I thinking? When it’s over, it’s over, and anything can happen with the images.

There have been very few changes since the project began and most of them were a result of rehashing how the show went the year before and then making minor shifts… like an addition of an hour, it use to be 1pm to 3pm, now it’s 1pm to 4pm. But when I started to sell ink-jet prints, I knew right away that I wanted to make higher quality prints for 95 if I could afford it and decided to make the same archival prints that I sell in the gallery to be laminated for 95. So the photos in the show this year are all archival ink-jet prints, which sell for 750 bucks at my NY gallery. And all but 3 of the 231 images are printed identically to the archival ink-jets that I sell. (I had to settle for a lower res with 3 because I didn’t have the time to rescan) Except, of course, the I-95 photos are laminated with an adhesive backing. When I began this project the images didn’t have monetary value in the art market, now it’s 173,250.00 dollars worth of photos that people can take. But there's no true shift in the worth… it’s the same as it was in the beginning and will be the same at the end; color copies or ink-jets, it’s the complete installation that’s the work and I’m happy to have the pieces of it off in the world, the prints and the copies and the web images and the vinyl and the slide shows.

In some ways, the putting up the images and then letting go of them is how it is with the weather for the day of the show… I can prepare all year for this show but it’s possible that it could rain. And while the installation goes up unless there’s a nuclear holocaust, rain makes putting up the show more difficult and means that a few images would be unable to adhere to the pillars. Too bad, but that’s what this show is. I could work all year and have a fourth of that year’s work slide to the ground, and while I can’t pretend that I wouldn’t be pissed off, I’d start working toward the next year knowing full well that it could happen again.

---------


There’s a lot of reflection in this year’s show, and a lot of mirroring. This year I’m still hashing out some of the sub-themes that have slipped in over the last 7 years; next year should be a much different edit because it will the last edit before the completion of the project.

It is now time for me to obsessively start checking weather

While it's absolutely fine if it's showers on the day of, there are adhesion problems with the center aisle if it's wet, which means I have to move my schedule around. And I need to know about rain non stop for sweeping up and chalking the numbers.

Devastating News Regarding Jersey's #1 Quonset Hut


Photo Credit BONNIE WELLER / Inquirer Staff Photographer

Ideal Clothing is closing in a few weeks. The store, containing racks and racks of marked-down designer clothing, was a regular stop for many on their way to the Jersey Shore.
After I-95 in 2010, I don't know what's happening. I want to revisit some of the ideas that I was interested in exploring before the tsunami of I-95 took over. I want to work more with language, I was looking at the forms of diagrammed sentences and using them in my work. And I definitely want to look at creating the car crash sculpture which I've wanted to produce since my early 20s.

As part of a larger project I want to work on this "portals" idea I had... a live projection of places with the same address. For example 10th and Chestnut here in Philadelphia would have a camera that projected to a monitor at 10th and Chestnut in Topeka, Kansas and the Kansas cam would project here... a constant running look at the same named place thousands miles away.

In a different project, I kind of want to make a map and set up the cameras not just in places with the exact same name, but using an algorithm based on longitude and latitude to figure out corresponding spots around the world, but I don't even know how to convert fractions to decimal points, so I think you know that's going to take a looong time for me to figure out.

collision at sea
I'd also like to revisit Collision at Sea. This photo is from before the boats were pushed together in collision and the "red velvet" rope went up around them.

Here's some other of my work from my mid to late 20s

the worthless dollar

I painted this across the street from where I lived at 8th and Wharton.

history of hysteria

This was a companion piece to "Whirlforce Medical Research Lab" an installation that was in our house at 8th and Wharton. Not to say nothing, but Whirlforce might be my best work to date.

artonpaper diary

In February, Peter from artonpaper magazine invited me to submit a "diary" entry for an upcoming publication, "Diaries of a Young Artist."

"DIARIES is inspired, in part, by another project: artonpaper’s LETTERS TO A YOUNG ARTIST, which was first published in artonpaper in 2005 and consisted of letters from established artists to a fictional young artist (“Dear Young Artist,” they all began) offering advice, guidance, admonishment, and inspiration."

While it was possible to submit an entry that spoke more about the art world and recreate a moment for the book, I chose to write in the moment as if I was actually writing a diary entry. No dates are included in the book, but I kind of wrote this like "Captain's Log, Stardate 2008."

Here's an excerpt and I'll let you know when the book comes out.

-----

April 21, 2008

I’m at Methodist Hospital waiting for my bi-lateral breast ultrasound follow up and can’t believe that I had to schedule it so close to this year’s I-95. I haven’t finished the printing for lamination and am losing it. Right this minute I’m working on the final order for I-95 with a fist full of papers, my laptop and a 3rd cup of coffee, while wearing a paper robe.

However, if I wasn’t so out of my fucking mind with the ordering of the photos, I could have had this done a month ago and could be relaxing and enjoying what’s on waiting room TV… Walker: Texas Ranger. Or maybe my anxiety could be the normal anxiety that women have when waiting to have a mass in their breast checked out, as opposed to the tremendous anxiety that I’m having right now about where to place “Death to the KKK” in relation to “Mattress Flip.” .....

-----

Results were fine, breast healthy, and now I’m at my studio drinking a 4th cup of coffee and printing nonstop.

-----

Look for the rest of the entry when "Letters to a Young Artist" is published.




Worth noting is that if I stopped drinking so much coffee, I probably wouldn't have to have a constant breast checkup. It's pretty direct... "coffee is a major contributor to benign cysts." Whatever.

There's always plenty of reasons to want to be in Dublin

and Steve Powers is now at the top of my list of reasons.



Steve Powers

from Steve...
"heres some more of what I've been up to in Dublin. The
phone number is my Irish cell phone number, I got
about 30 calls in 12 hours before I left town for my
son's birthday/christening. my outgoing message says
'Where are you?, I've been looking all over, leave a
message'"
