Richard Long, County Cork, Ireland, 1967

From the Metropolitan Museum of Art:

Long was a key figure in recasting sculpture in two directions: inward toward the gestures of bodies in space and outward toward the creation of ephemeral works made directly in the landscape. A student of the sculptor Anthony Caro at Saint Martins College of Art, Long was well versed in the reductive quality of geometric abstraction but sought to make the form of his works even more elegantly simple and wedded to life. He would go for solitary walks in the English countryside, and at a particular place he would create elemental forms such as a line, an x shape, or a circle by walking over the ground to leave a temporary imprint. A photograph such as County Cork, Ireland – in which the shape seems to hover in the image like a flying saucer – is thus an imprint of an imprint; the form of the work is derived from the holistic relationship between the concept (idea), the action of the body (figure), and the site of his gesture (ground). It is also informed by an astute understanding of the profound links between British culture and the landscape, from prehistoric hill figures through nineteenth-century theories of the Picturesque.

Greg Otto 1980

“Otto’s work at this time was solely in pencil; thousands of minute, individual graphite marks worked up into dense, iridescent masses, or left as light, scattered flecks across the sheet. [—-] Some drawings are completely covered by thousands of tiny pencil marks with little of the paper showing through, which creates a calm uniformity of surface when viewed from a distance, but reveals a dense thicket of pencil lines when seen close-up. Others may have small and irregular light areas that appear to shine out of the graphite darkness, or edges that fade away like thinning clouds or smoke. Otto also created his drawings on a very large scale, producing similar abstract graphite works on primed canvases that measured up to eight by nine feet; works that are monumental in scale but still built up from the smallest of pencil marks.” (From the Francis Frost website http://www.francisfrost.com/ottomain.html)

Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

“We think you will love this beautiful film montage of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s previous works. It showcases all of the incredible projects that the artists have realized around the world. The five-minute film was created by acclaimed filmmaker Antonio Ferrera for last year’s Independent Curators International event, where Christo and Jeanne-Claude (in memoriam) were honored with the Leo Castelli Award for lifetime achievement in advancing the field of contemporary art. It is definitely worth watching.”

Got a girl crush on: Beyoncé Run The World (Girls) Live Billboard Awards 2011

Uhmmm…sooo…isn’t Beyoncé the best? The use of motion graphics in the performance is phenomenal. Beyonce sees the future, and it’s looking purty good. New anthem for GAGC? I think so.

FFWD» to 3:00 for the performance.

“Following Piece” Vito Acconci, 1969

“During this time Acconci went to extraordinary lengths to find out what a body could do in both public and private, especially when everyday activities – walking, running, biting, eating, rubbing, falling, leaning, moaning, jumping – were systematized or spun out to absurd extremes.

While ‘Diary of a Body’ documents such well-known performances as Following Piece (1970), for which Acconci spent afternoons stalking randomly chosen strangers through Manhattan streets, or Seedbed (1972), his legendary act of marathon onanism executed beneath the floorboards of Sonnabend Gallery, better still are the rare glimpses afforded of all the smaller, more fleeting actions that took place on a sometimes daily basis around town. (Acconci logged the date and time of almost every activity with the dutiful conscientiousness of a trainspotter.) Like a child inventing elaborate head games to impose egocentric meaning on the outside world (determined not to step on pavement cracks in order to avoid breaking his mother’s back), Acconci formulated all kinds of systems and procedures for himself, as if following these rules would prove something about his own existence that was otherwise unavailable to him.”
