The Benefits of Marketing with Postcards

The Benefits of Marketing with Postcards

Using postcards for your marketing advertising doesnt not only demand big budget but proven to be effective. Check out its benefits through this article.

In no particular order of importance these were – sculptress Rebecca Warren who was the fancied hot favourite with many bookies, “billboard artist” Mark Titchner – and finally film maker Phil Collins…(No not him of Genesis fame!).

When the judges cast their votes however it was Tomma Abts who came out on top. She won twenty five thousand british pounds and of course the Turner Prize itself. I am sure the money will come in handy – however its the exposure that Tomma will get from winning thats the really important thing here.

What does Tomma Abts do? Well she actually paints abstract art; usually in oils or acrylics. – something of a novelty for the Turner Prize – some would say! Tomma Abts was originally selected for her solo art exhibitions at Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland, and Greengrassi, London.

Tomma Abts has been praised by no less than the Tate Gallery who describes her canvases as “intimate” and “compelling” .

They also comment on Tommas “consistent” and even ��rigorous” method of painting.

In addition the Tate states that Tomma Abts “enriches the language of abstract art” .

With such praise heaped upon her head its no surprise to me that she won the prize.

However I actually feel that Tommas abstract artwork isnt “knock out” but it definitely is OK.

The images or paintings of Tomma Abts are created by the repetiton of various geometrical shapes on a base of rich colour. Personally – I dont think that Tommas approach to painting is particularly original. However I have to admit that while not being “knock out” I find some of Tommas images pretty compelling and touching. I have to say that this does surprise me.

48 x 38 cms – exactly. These are the dimensions of every Tomma Abts painting. Im not sure quite why Tomma selected these dimensions. Obviously she finds them appealing and I suppose they make for a very compact painting.

When creating titles for her paintings apparently Tomma simply plucks one from a dictionary of German first names! Titles like “Veeke” for example were created in this way. In my view this is surely only slightly more interesting than numbering each picture!

All in all I think that Tomma Abts creates abstract art that is pretty accessible to the public at large. This is something that perhaps could not be said about the artwork of previous Turner Prize winners! I base my opinion of course on Tommas prize winning paintings. I would go further and state that I cannot conceive of a Tomma Abts creation offending anyone – even slightly.

In the end its just my personal opinion but I do believe that its entirely posible that Tomma Abts will go on to become a household name – within her own lifetime…Of course she could also disappear without trace from the media – and our minds in the blink of an eye, for precisely the same reasons.

I love the pronoun “they” and love it when people refer to me as such, not only because of the fact that gender is unspecified, but also because it’s plural.

Describes a previous iteration of Be Angry But Don’t Stop Breathing, and the ideas that inspired this work.

http://marktitchner.com/work/be-angry-but-dont-stop-breathing/ Images of previous versions of BABDSB, the bottom two images are the Tate Britain piece described above.

Turner Prize 2006 - Exhibition at Arnolfini, Bristol https://www.arnolfini.org.uk/whatson/mark-titchner-it-is-you https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/turner-prize-2006/turner-prize-2006-artists-mark-titchner “Titchner describes his art as ‘a dialogue about how you receive thought and ideas’. His works investigate communication and perception. Found text is a constant ingredient. Messages scavenged from song lyrics, corporate creeds, philosophical treatises and political manifestos have been physically described and digitally scripted into the works.”

Examples of Mark’s previous work here: http://marktitchner.com/work/ Some of the key features of his work include:

Multilayered, geometric patterns

Found or reappropriated text

Community - the posters are in public spaces where they are accessible to everyone, and are created in conjunction with community groups who may not otherwise have a voice

Residency at Art Gallery of Ontario: https://ago.ca/artist-in-residence/mark-titchner “Throughout his residency in Toronto, U.K. artist Mark Titchner developed a series of billboards, posters and large-scale wall-drawings that were installed throughout the city and in the AGO's Community and Toronto Now galleries. Drawing on his exploration of themes related to consumption, belief systems and marketing techniques, Titchner's immersive wall drawings and paintings consider how text and bold statements can be used to inspire, communicate to the masses and to bring communities of people together. The artworks produced throughout his residency were developed and executed in conjunction with youth from Oasis Skateboard Factory and the AGO Youth Council.” “His works often confront the viewer with a proposition for a type of modern revolution.”

Review of 2014 exhibition at CGP London: https://www.aestheticamagazine.com/review-mark-titchner-cgp-london/ “What appear to be simple, decorative statements soon reveal themselves as masterful explorations of the subtle nuances of language. Titchner had an epiphany by including text in an early painting and noting how just a few words inflected the entire image. Since then, his work has developed a fascination with the power of text.”

5 times when art and fashion meant

In a list of art and fashion collaborations there is a bit of blurring that happens. There are moments when designers becomes artists, artists become designers, or both entities becomes something different entirely. Both the genre of fine arts and fashion design not only bare the affect of trend and social temperature, but their changing relationship to one another is also reflective of society as a whole. Perhaps some interventions and collaborations are more successful than others, but what is primarily important is the dabbling, the mixing, and fantastic results that come from the fanciful play of the privileged creatives.

1. Triumph in the Face of Absurdity - Charming Baker and Paul Smith

British designer, Sir Paul Smith, and UK artist, Charming Baker, collaborated to make a sculpture that is sweetly optimistic and inspired. The polished cast aluminum on a corten steel plinth is titled Triumph in the Face of Absurdity. The sculpture is "about life and about how humble your start is in any way. It's not linked with money or finance, it's to do with the fact that if you try hard and dig deep, however small you start, you can do great things...Effort is free of charge!" The aluminum cast bicycle is based on the one ridden by British gold medalist, Sir Christ Hoy, and had a timely connection to the arrival of the summer Olympics in London that year. The most saccharine detail of the sculpture lies in the small space between the bicycle and the plinth: a little life-size mouse. From afar it is hard to tell, but upon closer investigation it's clear that this tiny mouse is holding up this momentous bike—a feat for any mouse, but especially for the collaborative sculptors.

2. K8 Hardy x Oscar Tuazon at the 2012 Whitney Biennial

Artist K8 Hardy's Untitled Runway Show, 2012 continued in the spirit of lukewarm crossover projects. The gesture appeared genuine; in a New York Times interview Hardy said, "I want people to think of the entire runway show as a work of art. It's...to interrupt its normal and largely unquestioned flow." On the day of the show, models descended the runway-cum-sculpture by fellow Whitney Biennial artist Oscar Tuazon.

Tuazon's work frequently features the forms of the function—stairs, walkways, and wall partitions—in an arrangement of dysfunction. However, in the case of Untitled Runway Show, Tuazon's style shone through in his bare-bone use of industrial materials, permeable boundaries, and rigid geometric modulation. And the procession of Hardy's runway choreography challenged the repetitious conventions of New York Fashion Week's innumerable shows; models walked backwards and sideways, and some at especially painful, slow paces. Hardy openly admits that the clothes were not the primary purpose of the collaborative effort, and it shows. The garments looked more like cheap costumes, some modeled after painting palettes, and others were made of multicolored bras.

3.Tint the pallid landscape (off to the wars in lace) - Mary Katranzou x Mark Titchner

As a part of the "Britain Creates 2012" fashion and art collaboration, fashion designer, Mary Katrantzou, and artist, Mark Titchner, created a seven-minute digital video animation and a two part lenticular print. Katrantzou is best known in the fashion world for her sumptuous and highly detailed digital prints; her clothes become more like wearable hi-res digital collages, with images ranging from picket fences and Ticonderoga pencils to florals and decorative friezes.

Titchner's text-based work won him the prestigious Turner Prize in 2006, and his commitment to residencies in places like Toronto gave him the opportunity to emblazon billboards with his graphically aggressive phrases like "BE REAL" and "WE WANT TO ADMIT OUR MISTAKES." The collaboration blossomed into a playful and densely layered world of digital imagery. The skills of computer animators allowed the two graphic worlds of Katrantzou and Titchner to fuse into one. Dizzying, almost psychedelic patterns undulate behind a slow-moving script as words like "STAMINA," "STRENGTH," and "AGILITY" float across the screen. Although the digital video is almost painful to sit through, the experience between the lenticular print and the video must have proved for a very trippy afternoon of art.

4. Mile Minute - Hussein Chalayan x Gavin Turk

It began when prestigious fashion designer, Hussein Chalayan, interviewed British artist, Gavin Turk, about "his enduring preoccupation with the mythical status and identity of the Artist." The subsequent musical collaboration—inspired from the transcript of their first meeting—resulted not only in an audio track, but a video accompaniment made from the perspective of a needle traveling along the surface of a vinyl record, created by Turk. The work was created as a part of "Britain Creates 2012," a nationwide effort between visual art and fashion design. The duo was inspired by artists, Marcel Duchamp and Roger Bannister, and limited the production of the vinyl to 100 copies, hand signed by both artists. Unfortunately, the unique "copper master" was created to self-destruct after a full play on the turntable—the only way to access it in the precious conversation between two artistic icons of this generation is to destroy it.

5. Cindy Sherman x Comme des Garcons

This 1994 collaboration with internationally acclaimed photographer, Cindy Sherman, and avant-garde Japanese fashion designer, Rei Kawakubo, still holds an edge over a lot of the more recent fashion photography campaigns. Sherman is best known for her self-portrait series Untitled Film Stills that feature a number of typified feminine characters. Sherman, inspired by Kawakubo's already pointedly unconventional fashion sense is driven to create a campaign equally unique. The coquettish personalities of her Film Stills are replaced by the slumped, unhappy and imperfect female persona. These photographs confront the consumer with a model that isn't particularly ideal at all; she floats in isolated contemplation, caught forever pensive in the frame of Sherman's photograph. Cindy Sherman would go on to a number of other fashion-related collaborations moving forward with names like Marc Jacobs and Balenciaga.

Our hope is real, 2016 Ink print on Di-sub fabric 70 9/10 × 47 1/5 in 180 × 120 cm

Born in 1973 in Luton, United Kingdom, Mark Titchner lives and works in London. Titcher uses a wide range of media, including print, sculpture, text, and video. His work pivots around the resurrection of dead forms and letters, often reinvesting the sterile language of revolutionary slogans and corporate mottos with the mystical promise of a second coming, a new revolution or a utopian world. Reminiscent of Futurist design and science fiction iconography from the 1960s and 70s, his work combines modernist forms with New Age diagrams and figures, layering avant-garde manifestos, managerial lingo and self-help catch phrases in order to create a complex aesthetic language at once potent and barren. Far from nostalgic, Titchner’s work uses these forms and texts in order to critically reflect upon the contemporary formation of a liquid subject, situated between the “I” and the “we”, equally capable of responding to the ever-changing demands of post-capitalist production as of melding into the revolutionary ideal of the multitude. courtesy of artsy.net, aptglobal.org

In 2006 the Turner Prize gained its first ever female winner. The artist who achieved this feat hails from Germany and is called is Tomma Abts. In order to carry off the Turner Prize – in the final, Tomma had to overcome three notable artists .

FirstSite College Visit 12-09-19

Today me and my college visited the FirstSite Gallery for contemporary art 

We saw many examples and creative uses of the comtemporary medium including moving shapes and images and bold political paintings that linked to many themes like racism and deep messages.

We saw artwork by artists like Elsa James and Mark Titchner 

I learned a lot from this experience such as different cultural perspectives and how art can be used to express deep messages and opinions.

Some questions about us Bethlem Gallery Open to the public from 10 July 2019 and viewable 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week from Monks Orchard Road

Some questions about us (2019) is a new public artwork by Mark Titchner commissioned by Bethlem Gallery’s Mental Health and Justice Project. The artwork is situated just within the Bethlem Royal Hospital perimeter looking out onto Monks Orchard Road.

This new public artwork is the first of a series of works by Titchner that relate to his involvement with the Mental Health and Justice project, a multi-disciplinary research initiative funded by Wellcome. Titchner has been working with the team that are investigating issues around the assessment of mental capacity particularly in relation to complex or contested cases. The issues around the research are complex and relate to legal, ethical and medical questions.

For this work the artist presents a series of mirrored placards that confront the viewer with a direct question. These forthright questions relate to issues around mental capacity and assessment but can also be read more widely around issues of personal autonomy or the individual’s relationship to the state and the fragility of this position.

Two versions of the work will be simultaneously installed on the public boundary of the Bethlem Royal Hospital and at Firstsite in Colchester in July this year before moving on to further venues. Bethlem Gallery and Mark Titchner will be running a series of events inviting mental health service users, local residents and hospital staff to respond to the provocation of Some questions about us.
