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.

"Joywar, What is it good for?"

Joywar, What is it good for?

<image>
The artist Joy Garnett just had a show called "Riot" at Debs & Co, lushly
painted figures in caught in moments of distress or violence. Then she got
threatened with a lawsuit by a Magnum photographer for referencing a 1978
image of a guy throwing a Molotov cocktail. Of course, the irony [?] is
that, as Garnett says, "my work is ABOUT the fact that images are
uncontrollable entities. It's about what happens when you remove context
and framing devices." Which means, of course, it's about getting sued.
Congratulations, Joy. I hope you get sued again real soon.

1. AAI Lower East Side Rotating Studio Program (LES-RSP/04)
- Two Residency Sessions:
June 5, 2004 - November 27, 2004
December 4, 2004- May 28, 2005

postmarked by May 1, 2004
Applications available at http://www.artistsai.org
Overview
Artists Alliance, Inc./Alianza de Artistas (AAI), a community based
nonprofit organization, composed of artists from a broad spectrum of
national and artistic backgrounds, is pleased to announce two new
sessions for our Lower East Side Rotating Studio Program (LES-RSP/04)
and the availability of one Long Term Studio at 107 Suffolk Street.
Eight artists will be invited to participate in the Rotating Studio
Program, located in the vibrant and historically significant multi-
cultural neighborhood of the Lower East Side in Lower Manhattan. One
additional artist will be selected to participate in the Long Term
Studio Program. The studios are located within the former PS 160
which has been converted into a vital cultural center. Selected
artists will have the opportunity to interact and engage with the
more than 60 professional resident visual artists who currently
work in the cultural center. This program underscores AAI's
mission to support the careers of emerging and mid-career artists
working in all fields as well as hard-working artists who fall
outside the system. It also addresses issues about the scarcity of
space for the production and presentation of works of art. Lack of
workspace threatens the very core of cultural life in New York
City.
(Please review contract requirements for participation as a
member-artist in the Long Term Studio Program and for participation
in the Rotating Studio Program).
