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.

Re: Re: 'piracy' update
hi Francis,
Well no doubt in my mind, anyone reading this particular lawyer's letters
would be outraged--that includes my own lawyer. Apparently talking to the
plaintiff's lawyer on the phone is no fun either -- I've been
spared that experience.
It wouldn't be wise or even ethical for me to post legal docs though --
plus, it's so much gobbledy-gook and case law thrown in, it's mostly
bombast and boring. 18 pages of boring.
I don't even want to divulge the identity of the plaintiff--I would like
to keep that quiet. She may be agressing me here, but I am only
interested in her leaving me alone--not smearing her. Imagine if I posted
her name on the list!
I'm actually more interested in our discussing the subject here in the
abstract as much as possible-- it's an excuse for us to discuss these
issues, copyright, sampling, fair use, art, appropriation, yadayada--
the changing culture--these are OUR issues and it's important to address
them.
Anyway, I would be really happy if both parties resolved this load of crap
they're throwing at me and didn't have to spend the money in court
(it's expensive enough right now-- I would need a defense fund if it
wwent to trial) --even though they don't have a solid case, even if I were
to win, it would still be a nightmarish, exhausting and ultimately
wasteful experience.
If it all goes "public" however--if they go forward with the injunction
--then it's public information and everyone gets to know the who and
what of it... and report on what they know.
(sorry to disappoint! -- more to come though...)
best,
Joy

Hi,
I have read about your case at Rhizome and would like to show you my
support. I think images belong to everyone and specially artists who
reconfigure them to show us how to look and think in a different way.
I have created a small animation based on your work as a contribution to the
many pages that support your case. It is at:

All the best,
Pau.

thanks much Christine Smallwood, that sums it up nicely.
let's hope it's just the Molotov *weeks* though, and not "years"...
