Titles like "Oh Dear, The Never Ending Spiral of Human Consumption (Myself Included)" seem to be trying to make the artworks about things they can't actually be about in any meaningful sense. It is absurd to assert that an abstract picture is actually about "human consumption" somehow. And why would you want it to be? Abstract art has the special ability to be about things that can only ...

Tokihiro Sato at Haines Gallery (San Francisco)
2007-09-20 10:39:00
Tokihiro Sato, #352 Kashimagawa, 1998, photographic transparency over light panel, 71" x 86.5""Using an 8 x 10 inch camera fitted with a darkening filter, Sato makes lengthy exposures of up to two hours. During that time, he moves through the landscape, pausing periodically, counting to ten, with a mirror to reflect sunlight back at the camera. A reflective triangular frame is mounted around the camera lens so he can see whether the light is being accurately reflected at the camera. Because Sato remains in slow but constant motion throughout the long exposure, he is invisible in the photograph. Only the points of light testify to his movement."

Long-Distance Relationship:online exhibition now up

The full online version of Long-Distance Relationship (my show with Marguerite Phillips) is now up at long-distancerelationship.com. The online exhibition allows visitors to view the paintings in various configurations and to browse via several paths: the pairs of paintings can be viewed side by side or with the source photo interposed, or they can be viewed individually at several magnifications; and visitors can proceed from one pair of paintings to the next pair, from one pair-plus-photo to the next pair-plus-photo, from one painting to the next painting by the same artist, or from one painting to the other artist's painting of the same image.Photos from the opening reception last Saturday are up on the Long-Distance Relationship flickr page. Thanks to everyone who came out. For those of you who missed it, Marguerite and I are offering artist-guided tours by appointment throughout the exhibition (through October 1). If you would like to visit the show in the company of either or bo ...
