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: fuck Bush


Jason,

I think you have it exatly right. You saw the direct correlation between
your actions and the people you engaged -- we mustn't think of this as an
enormous loss--that's a mistake. We did all these things, we actually
scared the living fuck out of them, this the beginning--we must maximize,
use the energy... after I knock back this scotch, I'm there, ready. Let's
go.

I make my living designing and developing database visualization applications for Actuaries, so next thing I know, I am helping to organize the consolidation of data needed for the canvasing operation. The next day they asked me to stick around in case they had another software emergency. Over the three days, I ended up applying my day-job skillset in a number of projects to help drive the voter turnout. The thought that these skills would be helpful to such an operation never occured to me before.

Re: Icelandic residencies


dear Pall,

Thank you, you are most considerate to send along suggestions. I really
did dream I was in Iceland, it was rather bucolic, I wanted it to be
real... I suppose "indefinitely" is a long time. I do want to stay HERE
and fight the good fight, but every now and then you need to get the hell=

out of town. We are all outlaws--in that sense nothing has really changed=

since yesterday except our overall adrenaline levels.

best,
Joy

As it turns out, 300 fellow New York volunteers - most of them first time activists like me - also arrived on Saturday at ACT. We worked our asses off from Sunday morning until election eve getting the vote out. We had an incredible impact on our community, and my only regret is that I did not start sooner.
