in , , , , , , , , , ,

There's an article in today's Irish Times about Katie Holten's Tree Museum and her upcoming show at the Hugh Lane as a part of the Golden Bough series. The Tree Museum was a public artwork that examined people's relationships to trees in the Bronx area of New York through an audio guide featuring recordings of local people. Below is a short video about the Tree Museum and the audio recordings are available through her website.

A series of objects collected from between the pages of books in public libraries in Dublin during the summer of 2009. Each object is captioned by the title of the book in which it was found. This video was produced as a part of an installation at the National Library in Dublin as a part of the offsite exhibition Preponderance of The Small organised by the Douglas Hyde Gallery.

Spy Box

in , ,

I was listening to a podcast about the Altermodern exhibition at Tate Britain and the curator mentioned a piece by Walead Beshty  which involved shipping laminated glass cubes which were cracked in transit. It reminded me of a piece which I saw a couple of years ago which I find more interesting. The piece is by British artist Tim Knowles which is described in his own words below:

A digital camera inside a parcel looks out through a small hole and captures images of its journey through the postal system.  The Spy Box was sent from my studio to the gallery taking an image every 10 seconds recording a total of 6994 images these were then edited together to create an animated slideshow.

Below is a short clip from his website which is found here.

Artbabble - Videos on Art

in

Artbabble is a website set up by the Indianapolis Museum of Art to show videos on art. The site includes videos from various contributors including MOMA and Art21 but some of the most interesting and longer videos were produced by the IMA themselves. Update: There was an article in the Guardian which calls this a youtube for fine art which of course it is not as it features videos provided by institutions and not user generated content. Also while this is still a good idea quite a lot of the content is already available on youtube. Hopeful they will branch out to include more partners and longer videos from contributors like art 21.
