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.

Co-organized by curators Sasha Cronin-Harris and Max Carlson, theSimnuke exhibition serves as the gallery component to the SimnukeProject, a self-described "reaction to 60 years of the Atomic Age."The project kicked off on July 16th (the 60th anniversary of"Trinity," the first atomic detonation) with a nuclear simulation.(See Molly Go Lightly's coverage of the live event here.[below])

Simnuke's most substantial statements are made by those who havechronicled the physical and cultural effects of the atomic bomb.Photographers Yusuke Yamahata and Carole Gallagher documented theaftermath of detonations in Japan and the United States, respectively.Taken while serving as a photographer in the Japanese army, Yamahata'snow-iconic images are stored in our national memory bank as memorialsto the horror inflicted upon Nagasaki in 1945. Sixty years later,these photographs still provoke involuntary chills with theirstraight, photojournalistic capturing of human devastation. Scenes ofdestruction

Fwd: art do


a really interesting project!
---------- Forwarded message ----------From: Joseph Nechvatal <jnech@thing.net>Date: Aug 10, 2005 6:57 PMSubject: art doTo: joy@firstpulseprojects.org

Pleas pass this on to anyone you know who might be interested:
ART TO MAKE AND DOA Call for Expressions of Interest (August 05)

The Project: A publication and website will "transmit" complexfunctioning artworks to multiple locations through the use ofcopyright-free plans, instructions and "kits" initially distributedthrough a website and a printed book /catalogue. It looks to generatea "population" of related objects, works in their own right, but alsobecoming the subject of investigation, study and exchange.
I am looking for participants who would be interested in devising workswhich can be assembled out of easily-available components from a set ofinstructions and a parts list. As well as assembly instructions thepublication and the website will include texts by contributors whichexamine and consider issues raised by the project.
At this stage I am envisaging object-based work, rather than proceduralworks which are more performative or conceptual

One entry per artist

We hope you can be a part of Postcards From the Edge. The event's
success depends on the generosity of artists like you. Last year, we
set new records with over 1400 postcards submitted! Participating
artists are invited to attend the Pre-view Party, Sunday, October 16
from 6-9 PM for free. After the benefit, Visual AIDS provides
information about the collector of your work or returns unsold work.
Please allow 4-6 weeks for processing.

Postcards From the Edge is a show and sale of original, postcard-sized
artworks on paper by established and emerging artists. All artworks
are $50 and sold on a first-come, first-served basis. The works are
signed on the back and exhibited so that the artists' signatures
cannot be seen. While buyers have a list of all participating artists,
they don't know who created which piece until it is purchased and the
signature is revealed. A collector might end up with a work by a
famous artist or one they don't yet know. Either way, they walk away
with a great piece of art while supporting Visual AIDS important work.

Founded in 1988 , Visual AIDS promotes AIDS awareness through the
visual arts. Two Visual AIDS initiatives, the Red Ribbon and Day
Without Art, have become icons of AIDS awareness. Visual AIDS also
supports artists with HIV/AIDS through direct professional services
including free photo-documentation of artwork, the largest slide
library of work by artists with HIV/AIDS, materials grants to those
with low incomes, estate planning services, exhibition opportunities,
professional development, advice and advocacy. For more information on
Visual AIDS programs, please visit http://www.visualAIDS.org.
