BIO
Joy Garnett is a painter based in New York. She appropriates news images from the Internet and re-invents them as paintings. Her subject is the apocalyptic-sublime landscape, as well as the digital image itself as cultural artifact in an increasingly technologized world. Her image research has resulted in online documentation projects, most notably The Bomb Project.

Notable past exhibitions include her recent solo shows at Winkleman Gallery, New York and at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC; group exhibitions organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, P.S.1/MoMA Contemporary Art Center, Artists Space, White Columns (New York), Kettle's Yard, Cambridge (UK), and De Witte Zaal, Ghent (Belgium). She shows with aeroplastics contemporary, Brussels, Belgium.

Concept: Memorials, My History & Me
The ABACA Spring, 2004 Student-Curated Art Exhibition

Through installation, performance art, and/or new
media works Memorials, My History & Me will explore
memorials, their political meaning and their use as
tools to commemorate African American and Latino
leaders in history. The work shown in this exhibition
will challenge its audience to examine ideologies,
actions, characteristics, etc., of historical figures
that are being memorialized and how those factors link
to our existence. This project will also foster an
internal connection between the individual, cultural
history and the function and effect of
'memorialization

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: I am a pirate ?!


matthew,

you're absolutely right -- I was thinking of leon's work. well, I often
do, he's without a doubt a mentor and a great inspiration to me. he also
is my neighbor, and I asked him recently about this whole issue. he's
actually never been sued! he says he's thought about it for years, what
would he do if it ever happened, but he transforms his news images just
enough so they are unrecognizable. he also advised me that the image I
used is from a rather famous photograph by this woman, which is so
contrary to my agenda. so he's the 2nd person known to me that recognized
it. he suggested I offer the offended party a small painting.

best,
joy

Re: Pirate? A serious question.


Um, so far just one naughty painting. I swear.

I'm beginning to thimk only artists bother to sue artists, with a few
exceptions... LOTS of artists have done the warhol thang since warhol..
have they been sued? probably not... I'm guessing. okay, I'm tired.

I better qualify that: I'm not looking for photos made by "authors" if you
get my drift. Whew!
