this is a mirror

Luis Camnitzer

note to self

To be able to make the observations that I make, I believe that I allow myself a significant amount of displacement or separation from a collective reality. My work has had the tendency to be quiet and demand solitude while viewing. My intentions as an artist are often to draw the viewer into a very personal and meditative experience that is only allowed through a retreat from the outside world into an inward gaze. However, through conducting research on the artists whose sensibilities that I admire, or who I share subject matter or common forms of media with, I have found that every individual artist actually has a heightened sense of awareness of the world around them that allows them to make such acute observations, or to be able to make such strong connections with their viewer and environment.

why, clouds of course!! tetsu kondo

tetsu kondo, architect, made clouds at the 2010 Venice architecture biennale.

for me, there is a sense of straight-forward innnocence and simplicity behind the piece. clouds are magical. let's make 'em. to physically manifest this, however, under the restrictions of reality and within a contained space that allows for audience interaction, is not necessarily simple. with the consultation of transsolar, german engineers, they created three different layers of air are created for such phenomena to form: one area of cool dry air at the bottom, hot humid air in the middle to create the clouds, and hot and dry air at the top to contain the clouds. wonderful.


another series of kondo's is "mirror." also, artfully simple. and yet, rather stunning.
