제목은 전시 타이틀. Zabriskie Gallery 에서 지금! 전시하고 있다는 Joan Fontcuberta 의 신작. 일전의 고고학을 때려엎는 작업에대한 책자를 보고서 홈방.. 가버린 기억이 있어서 갱장히 흥미있게 클릭을 했는데. 머.
웬지 역수출을 한 듯한 이 기분은 뭘까. 방금도 오픈아트에서 보낸 조립식 크리스마스 카드를 보고난 후라 더하기도 하고. 에잇, 그래 형태로만 유사성을 찾지 말자. 드러날 수 있는 언어로 따지면 이 쪽이 더 풍부한 것도 사실이니까. 더구나 가상에 집중해온 작업 기조를 생각하면 당연하기까지 한.
p.s : 베가몬드에 나왔다는 대사. 작업을 하다보면 이런 대살 벽에 붙여얄 필요도 있지 싶다.
어둠을 모르는 자에게는 빛 또한 없는 법. 바다를 헤엄치는 동안은 바다의 넓이를 알 수 없지.

Zabriskie Gallery presents a photographic installation by the Spanish artist Joan Fontcuberta. Entitled Pin Zhuang, which is Chinese for "dismantled", "dismounted" or "puzzle," the series was inspired by the 2001 incident in which an American spy plane crashed on Chinese soil and—after extensive negotiations—was returned to the U.S. after being completely dismantled. Known for his propensity for challenging the assumption that photography reveals truth, Fontcuberta also questions scientific and political authority. In this work he has deliberately "mis-assembled" model planes according to random criteria and photographed the results flying through outer space.
The installation consists of ten digital prints and photographs of the model plane assemblages and six large-format color prints of them flying through space. A sculptural and digital film installation displays one of the model plane constructions. Three of the works are diptychs: one panel presents diagrams of the various steps for the correct assembly of the model plane. The other panel depicts the spacecraft gliding through extraterrestrial "spacescapes." The works continue Fontcuberta’s challenge to science’s historical claims to truth through imagination, artifice and humor.
The construction of Fontcuberta's "ready-made" assemblages is a symbolic gesture; although all the original parts are used in each construction, in the final product any sense of utility is absent. The technological device—a symbol of the spying eye of Western 'defense' programs—is ultimately rendered a non-functioning, "poetic sculpture" that pays tribute to both science fiction aesthetics and Constructivism as it hurtles, burns or glides through outer space. The work is inspired by the artists' wish to "activate the confrontation between authority and transgression, between order and dissidence, between rule and daring, between willingness and insubordination, between orthodoxy and invention, between discipline and liberty."
Joan Fontcuberta was born in 1955 in Barcelona, where he continues to live and work. He has exhibited extensively at museums and galleries in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, and has been associated with Zabriskie Gallery since 1981. His work is in numerous institutions, including the New York Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago. He contributes regularly to scholarly journals and has published many books, including Sputnik and Twilight Zones.
There will be an opening reception Tuesday, November 16 th. The artist will be present.
