Sarah Meyohas, “Interference #19”, 2023, Holograms, mirrored black glass, aluminum

Georgia O’Keeffe, “Poppy”, 1927, Oil on canvas

Francis Picabia “The Church of Montigny, Effect of Sunlight” 1908, Oil on canvas (left); Christian Sampson “Projection Painting”, 2023, Acrylic and films with LED light; and Claude Monet “The Houses of Parliament, Effect of Fog, London” 1904, Oil on canvas (right)

The Nature of Art exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg merges art from the museum’s collection with loaned works to explore- “art’s crucial role in our evolving quest to understand our relationship with nature and our place in the cosmos”.

One of the benefits of an encyclopedic museum is that visitors have the opportunity to experience art throughout history, and to revisit works that resonate with them. For the section titled Artist as Curator, Sarah Meyohas and Christian Sampson chose pieces from the museum’s collection to pair with their own work.

From the museum-

At first glance, perhaps, these may seem like unusual combinations, but upon deeper contemplation, their selections reveal complementary artistic intents. For instance, Meyohas and Georgia O’Keeffe share an interest in close looking, particularly in finding new ways to examine underappreciated aspects of the natural world. Sampson, influenced by the California Light and Space Movement, is interested in current scholarship that suggests the hazy fog found in Claude Monet’s work is an early depiction of air pollution, offering an entirely new perspective on the artist’s representations of light.

Sampson also created the four-part installation, Tempus volat, hora fugit, on view until 2025 at the museum.

Below are some of the works from additional sections of the exhibition.

Postcommodity, “kinaypikowiyâs”, 2021, Four 30.5-metre industrial debris booms

Postcommodity is an interdisciplinary art collective comprised of Cristóbal Martínez (Genizaro, Manito, Xicano), and Kade L. Twist (Cherokee).

About Postcommodity’s work, kinaypikowiyâs, (seen above) from the museum-

This work is composed of debris booms, used to catch and hold environmental contaminants such as garbage, oil, and chemicals. The colors of the booms correspond to different types of threats— red (flammable), yellow (radioactive), blue (dangerous), and white (poisonous)-in the labeling system for hazardous materials. To indigenous peoples, these are shared medicine colors that carry knowledge, purpose and meaning throughout the Western Hemisphere. Suspended like hung meat, the booms represent a snake that has been chopped into four parts. Each part represents an area of the colonial map of the Western Hemisphere: South America, Central America, North America, and all of the surrounding islands. The title, kinaypikowiyâs, is a Plains Cree word, meaning snake meat. Divided by borders, Postcommodity asserts that all people living in the Americas are riding on the back of this snake.

James Casebere, “Landscape with Houses (Dutchess County, NY), 2009, Archival pigment print mounted to Dibond

James Casebere creates architecturally based models for the large scale photographs seen above.

Duke Riley's Reclaimed ocean plastic sculptures and “Tidal Fool” wallpaper

Duke Riley’s work, which was previously shown at Brooklyn Museum, addresses issues of environmental pollution by using discarded plastics found in the ocean and other waterways to create new work inspired by the past. You can hear him discuss his work in this video.

From the museum-

Inspired by the maritime museum displays he saw while a child growing up in New England, Riley’s scrimshaw series is a cutting observation of capitalist economies-historic and today-that endanger sea life. The sculptures were created for the fictional Poly S. Tyrene Memorial Maritime Museum, and are contemporary versions of sailors’ scrimshaw, or delicately ink-etched whale teeth and bone. Riley first thought about using plastic as an ode to scrimshaw when he saw what he thought was a whale bone washed up on the beach in Rhode Island; it turned out to be the white handle of a deck brush. Riley regularly removes trash from beaches and waterways, and often uses this refuse in his work.

Riley collaborated with Brooklyn-based Flavor Paper to create these two custom wallpapers for his solo exhibition DEATH TO THE LIVING, Long Live Trash at the Brooklyn Museum. Tidal Fool exhibits Riley’s trademark humor in the face of devastating water pollution; notice the Colt 45-guzzling mermaid. Wall Bait vibrantly references Riley’s meticulous fishing lures, which he crafts from refuse found in the waters around New York City.

Daniel Lind-Ramos,"Centinelas de la luna nueva (Sentinels of the New Moon)", 2022-2023, Mixed media

From the museum about this work-

In Centinelas de la luna nueva, he evokes the elders of the mangroves, spiritual beings who watch over and ensure the health of this essential coastal tree. Mangroves are the basis for a complex ecosystem that shelters sea life and serves as the first line of defense in the tropical storms that batter the sub-tropics -including Florida.

Lind-Ramos's practice reflects the vibrant culture of his native Loíza, Puerto Rico, by honoring local agriculture, fishing, cooking, and masquerade. His sculptures also evoke Hurricane Maria (2017), the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing environmental degradation. Lind-Ramos is committed to the survival and sustenance of Afro-Taíno traditions and people of the Puerto Rican archipelago. However, his art engages the global community through shared emotions, parallel histories, and the commonality of human experience.

The next post will discuss two other artists in the exhibition, Brookhart Jonquil and Janaina Tschäpe.

People’s Flag Wars 2: Round 2, Bracket 5

See the symbolism below.

Carmel, Indiana is a flag redesign by scottishdoge.

Symbolism:

“Blue: Good Fortune and Prosperity

Gold: Happiness

White: Peace and Balance

Star: Ode to the original name of the city: Bethlehem

Design: Carmel is the Roundabout Capital of the US, so I wanted to use the roundabout design as a significant flag feature. On the reverse side, the lines (or lanes in this symbolism) are reversed as well, a subtle nod to our international influencers--who drive on the other side of the road--that have helped the city become more progressive in our ideas and lifestyle. The crossbar with a star in the middle is an ode to the Indianapolis flag, and the off-center, enhanced circle resembles the original design by Roger Gohl.”

Portland, Maine is a flag redesign by Flag For Portland.

Symbolism: “Portland's connection to the sea remains a strong part of our shared identity, even if maritime trade no longer dominates the economy. The symbolism of a safe and secure port to ride out a storm is meaningful in any era, but the events that inspired this flag are the times this community has rallied to overcome challenges both historical (rebuilding after devastating fires) and contemporary (rallying to support front-line workers and local businesses during the pandemic).

Influenced by: the "Papa" flag, a blue border around a white field represents the letter "P" in the International Code of Signals. The "Vessel at Anchor" flag is one of the original signal flags used by Lemuel Moody, builder and operator of the Portland Observatory to communicate between ships, owners, and dock workers during Portland's maritime heyday.”

258: Nic Jones // The Noah's Ark Trap

The Noah's Ark Trap Nic Jones 1977, Trailer

His performing career cut short in a traffic accident at age 35, his back catalogue entombed in legal wrangles, Nic Jones enjoys the legend of a musician more often spoken of than heard. Jones’s final album, 1980’s Penguin Eggs, is one of the small handful of true masterpieces of the English folk revival, a maritime journey through traditional song driven by Jones’s percussive, slapping fingerstyle guitar and curlicued vocal melodies. It’s also the only one of his records that’s stayed more or less in print since its release, meaning that it has completely overshadowed the rest of his catalogue (outside those collectors with the cash or pluck to track down the increasingly pricy original editions anyway).

As a listener who has obsessed over Penguin Eggs for years, I was shocked to find an unpriced copy of 1977’s The Noah’s Ark Trap in a local shop and, after some haggling with the good-natured proprietor, walked out with it for a song. I’d heard it a few times back in my music blog .rar downloading days and I recall liking it, but since I’ve had an actual copy for my table it’s steadily grown in my estimation to the point I’d rank it the near-equal of its more celebrated younger sibling. The LP contains a similar mixture of lengthy story songs (“The Golden Glove”), bawdy cautionary tales (ode to cum “The Wanton Seed”), blazing fiddle reels (“Miles Weatherhill”), and aching ballads (“Ten Thousand Miles,” perhaps the most moving thing he ever recorded). As on Penguin Eggs, Jones plays with minimal accompaniment (six of ten tracks are solo endeavours), giving the music a lonely grandeur, like a bard narrating the sunset of an age. These are songs of ancient heritage, and while Jones’s style bears the marks of the contemporary revival (and particularly the influence of Martin Carthy) he makes no concessions to pop. There is only this man with his pure and earnest voice, the guitar he’s poured the work of a lifetime into mastering, and visions of forests and green pastures that will endure till the rocks melt and the seas burn.

The prototype for the Shipping Forecast was established after a particularly nasty storm in 1859 killed hundreds of people and wrecked more than 100 ships in the Irish Sea. In its aftermath, Vice Adm. Robert FitzRoy, founder of the U.K.’s Meteorological Department and originator of the term “forecast,” set up a maritime storm-warning system in 1861. Predictions were first sent by telegraph; radio broadcasts followed much later, in 1911, but were interrupted soon thereafter by the onset of World War I. Seven years after the armistice, the BBC sent out its first long-wave transmission of Weather Shipping from the Air Ministry in London. At some point the name changed to the Shipping Forecast and the number of broadcasts per day increased from two to four. Read at 5:20 a.m., 12:01 p.m., 5:54 p.m. and 12:48 a.m. G.M.T., each briefing begins with the same words: “And now the Shipping Forecast, issued by the Met Office.”

Although each individual transmission has traditionally been short — limited to 380 words at most, and often not more than a minute or two of speech — when heard in hourlong compilations, the Shipping Forecast is poetic and hypnotic, a free-form ode to the seas. The forecast presents a kind of audio tour: The announcer begins in Viking, a sea area near the Orkney archipelago, before directing the listener’s attention around the British Isles, intoning rhythmic phrases like “Wight, Portland, Biscay,” “good, occasionally poor, becoming very poor at times in Plymouth” or “low Southeast Iceland, 1,000, losing its identity by the same time.” What linguistic splendor resides in these descriptions — what possibilities!

IGNEA - Incurable Disease (Official Video) | Napalm Records New full-length album, Dreams of Lands Unseen, out now! Order here: https://ift.tt/h96KRl3 IGNEA on “Incurable Disease”: “This particular song is not related to any pandemic or real illness. Rather, it is an ode to Sofia's admiration for the sea, inspired by her frequent voyages by various types of vessels, from small boats to huge luxury liners. Sofia found the mechanics of these boats, the crew's workings, and the sheer beauty of the waters to be captivating. The song's lyrics speak from both Sofia's perspective and my own, as I too share a profound affection for the sea that I liken to an "incurable disease." In fact, I'm even in the process of creating a sea-themed tattoo sleeve on my right arm to showcase my devotion to all things maritime.” via YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KK3juOlkbY

The Unlikely Voyager: How Captain Hook Found Himself Charting Gravitational Waves

In a peculiar twist of fate, my tale begins not on the rolling waves of the seven seas, but amidst the boundless wonders of the night sky. You see, it was a particularly silent night aboard the Jolly Roger, the kind that makes even a seasoned pirate like myself ponder the greater mysteries beyond our wooden confines. As I gazed upwards, a shooting star blazed across the sky, igniting within me an insatiable curiosity about the cosmos.

This newfound obsession with the stars was, to put it mildly, inconvenient. My crew, accustomed to raids and treasure hunts, found themselves at the mercy of their captain's whimsical detour into astronomy. I, Captain Hook, decided that if the stars were calling, it was high time we answered.

And so, armed with a makeshift telescope cobbled together from spyglasses and the odd bits and pieces found on the ship, we set our course. Night after night, I surveyed the heavens, recording my observations with the same meticulous care I used to map out uncharted territories.

The breakthrough came one night when, in a stroke of luck (or perhaps misfortune), we sailed into the Sargasso Sea, a place as still as the dead and notorious for its maritime myths. It was there, amidst the eerie calm, that I overheard my crew whispering tales of ghost ships and sea monsters, their words carrying a blend of fear and fascination. Inspired by their tales, I couldn't help but draw parallels to my celestial pursuits—the universe, much like the Sargasso, was filled with its own kind of monsters and myths.

It was then I had my epiphany: if the ocean could harbor tales of the Kraken and mermaids, what untold stories lay hidden in the cosmic sea? My thoughts raced to the gravitational waves I'd read about in a dusty tome we'd plundered from a ship bound for the New World. Those waves were the ocean's whispers of the universe, tales of cosmic beasts and celestial storms.

In a fit of passion, and perhaps a touch of madness, I commandeered the ship's resources to construct an even more ambitious project. Using every bit of knowledge we'd plundered from astronomers and philosophers, and with a healthy dose of pirate ingenuity, we built an apparatus to detect these elusive gravitational waves. The crew thought me mad, but I was too far gone, captivated by the siren's call of the cosmos.

Night after night, we listened for the whispers of the universe with our rudimentary device. And then, on a night as dark as a kraken's depths, we caught it—a faint, almost imperceptible echo, a ripple from a storm raging light-years away. It was our ghost ship, our sea monster, our treasure chest filled not with gold but with knowledge.

In my fervor, I penned my observations, my theories, and my wild speculations. The article, "Sailing Through Space-Time: Gravitational Waves Demystified by Captain Hook," was my magnum opus, a pirate's ode to the cosmos. It was a tale not of plunder and conquest, but of discovery and wonder.

So there you have it, the curious case of how I, a notorious pirate, found myself at the helm of an astronomical quest. It's a tale that stretches the bounds of credulity, but then again, the universe is a place where the impossible often finds its footing. And perhaps, in sharing this tale, I've inspired you to look up at the stars not just as points of light, but as beacons guiding us towards the unknown, urging us to listen to the tales they have to tell.
