Research Post #1: Chuck Close

Background Of The Artist

Charles Thomas Close was born in Monroe, Washington on the 5th of July, 1940. His father, Leslie Durward Close, died when he was 11 years old. His mother's name was Mildred Wagner Close. As a child, Close had a neuromuscular condition that made it difficult to lift his feet, he also suffered from dyslexia and nephritis as a young child which kept him away from his early years of school. His first encounter with an artist that inspired him was when he was 14 at the Seattle Art Museum. He saw a Jackson Pollock drip painting with aluminum paint, tar, gravel, and other materials. Close says, "I was absolutely outraged, disturbed. It was so far removed from what I thought art was. However, within 2 or 3 days, I was dripping paint all over my old paintings. In a way, I've been chasing that experience ever since" Some of his early work was transforming black and white portraits from small photographs to colossal paintings. Throughout this career, Close focused on portraits of himself or his friends whom were in the art world using his specific photo-realistic style. Close lived in New York for the latter days of his life until he died on August 18, 2021, at the age of 81, from congestive heart failure.

Education

Everett Community College (1958-1960)

University of Washington (BA 1962)

Yale University (MFA 1964)

Fulbright scholarship to Academy of Fine Arts Vienna

Photographic Style

Close focused on portraiture while using drawing and painting with varied techniques such as ink, graphite, pastel, watercolor, conté crayon, finger painting, and stamp-pad ink on paper. He used these techniques to create contemporary art and photorealism art. His style first began with black-and-white photographs which he copied into a canvas and then painted. Then he expanded with the techniques mentioned above throughout the years creating pieces with color including black and white. Using the method of grid copies of photos and adding color and using tools such as airbrushes, rags, razor blades, and an eraser mounted on a power drill. His later work branched into non-rectangular grids, topographic map-style with CMYK color grid work.

REFLECTION BLOG POST -- The Image of a President. How photographs from President Obama's White House Photographer and President Trump's White House Photographer and how are they different?

The presentation on Presidential photographers was an interesting topic that I haven't really thought about, nor has the media put much emphasis on this issue. I didn't know each president had their own photographer or had any picture taken at a specific angle, time, or function. There were slight differences when it came to Obama and Donald Trump, Obama's pictures, were always taken with a light tone, kind of bright in a way, and shown through a positive perspective, as opposed to Donald Trump, as he doesn't really have many pictures that can be found on google from his photographer Shealah Craighead. His pictures were often taken in a sophisticated manner, where he was busy, or looking under pressure. His pictures were often taken in a dark tone and there were only limited shots of what the photographer can take. Obama's pictures were shot more freely. I loved the introduction of Obama's photographer Pete Suuza, as he has been around for a while and is known in the photography world. If I'm not mistaken, he was also a photographer for Bill Clinton as well. Some questions that were asked in the presentation were if we felt like some shots were either personal or political with the images Suuza put out on his Instagram, I would say it was kind of personal as he threw some shade at Donald Trump with the picture of the white house under a dark cloud. I forgot what the caption said, but it was pretty personal rather than political. Another question asked was what narrative we think these photos side by side tell, between Suuza's images and Craigheads. As mentioned earlier, Suuza's pictures of Obama had a warmer positive tone, unlike Craighead's images which only caught handpicked moments that Trump wanted in his gallery. There's a reason why it is pretty difficult to find images of her time with Trump

don’t the sun look good goin’ down over the sea?

new york

Mid-May. Throngs. I had never seen so many people in Washington Square Park on an uneventful day. Every corner teemed with masked mouths and eager eyes. Everything electric and new.

But storefronts were shuttered on Myrtle Ave. My favorite jukebox out of order. No pinball at Milo’s Yard, just an overcrowded patio and room for me at a booth.

I was on the East Coast for my sister’s wedding. Will and I took the train from Massachusetts and stayed at a garden-level Airbnb in Bushwick for a week. When I got back to Denver, I had the sense that I was descending on a sleepy little cowtown, nowhere to go and nothing to see.

Weeks later, a colleague who was visiting New York emailed me: “Can't believe you left that magical city.” Neither could I.

la

Driving up the Pacific Coast Highway in the backseat of my best friend’s boyfriend’s car, all I could think was: Tinder. Not the dating app, but the grass. It was late July, and the drop of a single match, it seemed, would set the Santa Monica Mountains ablaze.

For a while I convinced myself that moving to LA would solve my every problem. It’s all so glamorous, the sun and surf and celebrities. But something struck me as grotesque about the billionaires tending lush gardens in the Hollywood hills while a megadrought threatens to render the region unlivable.

I do love LA, and I have a great time whenever I’m in town, but my intense desire to move there left me when I started picturing the Valley flooded and the hills in flames. Nowhere is really safe, but a mile above sea level, we can at least pretend.

denver

The light is different in the west. I have the corniest analogy: Imagine strolling through the hall of presidential paintings at the National Portrait Gallery. You’ll walk past centuries of pale old faces gazing forth from musty canvases. At the end of the hall, you’ll find Kehinde Wiley’s portrait of President Obama shrouded in flowers and vines, the green oil incandescent on the canvas. That’s how the light is in the mountains, crystalline and dazzling, so unlike the muted tones in the East Coast woods where I grew up. I can’t capture it on an iPhone or even really describe it. But it’s real, a trick of the atmosphere, a video filmed in high contrast.

I’ve been here just about 13 months, and I don’t know how long I’m going to stay. Last month, we moved to a new apartment on the other side of town. It’s as big as the house I grew up in, with in-unit washer and dryer, and within walking distance of a bunch of shops and restaurants. Most importantly, it allows pets. Will and I adopted a four-month-old kitten and named him Shinji, like Neon Genesis Evangelion, but mostly because we were spitballing names and that’s the one that stuck. I’d had guinea pigs and birds before, but never an actual mammal pet. I don’t know what to do with all the love I feel for this little black cat. He comes to me in the morning with his jingly toy in his mouth, asking to play fetch. As I write this, he is slung across my feet in bed, warming them while he sleeps.

I have a clearer view of the mountains from my new apartment, and every night, the sun sinks down behind them, shrouding them in shadow and painting the western sky with wild streaks of color. Night sets in quickly, cool and dry. I open the windows wide and sleep well.

TW suicide

And I see everyone gettin' all the things I want. And I'm happy for them, but then again, I'm not. Just cool vintage clothes and vacation photos. I can't stand it. Oh God, I sound crazy. —Olivia Rodrigo, “Jealousy, Jealousy.”

I resent you presenting your life like a fucking propaganda brochure. —Fiona Apple, "Relay"

All these social networks and computers got these pussies walkin' 'round like they ain't losers. —Jack Harlow, "Industry Baby"

There’s this woman I follow on Instagram. I don’t know her, but some of my friends do. She’s tatted, artistic, and undeniably cool. For a moment this summer, I almost considered taking an underpaid reporting job in the small city where she lives. I imagined running into her in a coffee shop, and what I could say to introduce myself without coming off as weird. I actually saw her in New York once, believe it or not. I didn’t say anything then. And why would I behave differently a second time?

Anyway. She posted on her story one day recently that it had been a year since her suicide attempt. You never would have known. Her life had seemed not perfect, but worth aspiring to, for sure—full of joy and friends and travel. She, of course, did nothing wrong, sharing what she chose to share. I was wrong to envy her. I’m wrong to envy everyone. That doesn’t stop me.

I can’t believe I fell for it, that Instagram trap. I always thought I was too smart for it. (“My heart was not. I took it like a kid, you see.”) I never cared about the likes. I posted shitty memes I made in Photoshop. I forgot to open the app.

But then, I guess, it was hot vax summer, and my friends in New York were having parties, and telling me about the parties, and staying out all night, and posting photos of the clubs and the bars and the Empire State Building, and New York Magazine was going on about the fear of missing out. Even the friends I’d made in Denver, they didn’t seem to have jobs. They were always in Telluride or Moab or Yellowstone or on the top of some 14er, giddy on thin air. This was before the Wall Street Journal’s report that Facebook knew its services harmed teenage girls. It was before Gabby Petito. It was late summer, and I was convinced that everyone had more friends, more money, and more fulfilling lives than me. I had to delete the app for a while.

I think part of what I went through this summer was the realization that even when COVID becomes analogous to the flu, things will never go back to the way they were. Some of my friends have left New York, and others have moved there. I have tasted a life of mountains and sprawl, and it has changed me. The climate is changing. Things will be worse during my lifetime than they were during my parents’. The only way to stay sane is to be grateful for the things I have—a source of income; a boyfriend who loves me, for whatever reason, unconditionally; a kitten who loves me because I feed him and scoop his shit out of a box—and to look to the future with wariness and hope. Santa Fe. Mexico City. Yellowstone. I have so much more to see. Maybe I’ll even post about it.

HBO Max New Releases: August 2021

https://ift.tt/3A1bKHN

Back when WarnerMedia (which technically no longer exists in the same form) announced that it would be premiering its entire slate of 2021 films on HBO Max, this is the kind of month they likely had in mind. For HBO Max’s list of new releases in August 2021 is highlighted by an honest-to-goodness blockbuster.

The Suicide Squad is set to premiere Aug. 5 on HBO Max. This film featuring some of DC Comics’ most curious villains borrows its name, format, and many of its characters from the David Ayers-directed 2016 film Suicide Squad. This time around, the rogues gallery is directing by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) and his colorful disposition. In addition to The Suicide Squad, August sees the arrival of the Hugh Jackman-starring Reminiscence on Aug. 20.

How The Suicide Squad is Different from Guardians of the Galaxy

By Mike Cecchini

It’s a good month for movies overall on HBO Max. Many intriguing library titles arrive on Aug. 1, including Collateral, The Fugitive (1993), The Shawshank Redemption, and Spawn. The Jurassic Park trilogy (Aug. 14), and Godzilla v. Kong (Aug. 17) make their return to the Warner streaming service a little later on.

HBO Max’s original TV offerings can’t compete with The Suicide Squad in August 2021, but there is still plenty to enjoy. The third season of erstwhile DC Universe series Titans premieres on Aug. 12. That will be followed by the second season of former Comedy Central delight The Other Two.

Bill Gates's monopolistic mask-off moment

Don't let the sweater-vests and the (dilettantish) "education reform" work fool you: Bill Gates made his fortune through sheer robber-baronry, presiding over a vicious monopolist that shattered the law in its greedy quest for billions and permanent, global dominance. Microsoft's illegal conduct was so blatant, persistent and obviously wicked that it prompted serious enforcement action from the DoJ's antitrust division, which Reagan neutered and which every president since has whittled down even further. The most notorious moment in that last-of-its-kind enforcement action was the multi-day, video-recorded deposition of Bill Gates himself, in which he conducted himself so badly that the video went analog-viral, airing on newscasts and being passed hand-to-hand on VHS. Today on Ars Technica, Dan Goodin revisits that momentous week in 1998 when Gates covered himself in everlasting shame and gave us a peek behind the curtain at the private persona of a swaggering monopolist. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/09/revisiting-the-spectacular-failure-that-was-the-bill-gates-deposition/ Goodin's piece was occasioned by Microsoft's intervention in the Epic-v-Apple affair, in which a Microsoft exec decried Apple's abuse of its "complete monopoly over the distribution of apps  … to coerce app developers into using Apple’s payment platform." Gates's deposition is a reminder of how far Microsoft's position changed between 1998 and now. As Goodin writes, Gates's plan for the deposition was to obstruct, paint the DoJ as technically incompetent, and to "deny even the most basic of premises in the government’s case." This was a brutally stupid plan. It failed SO BADLY. Government lawyer would ask Gates questions like "What non-Microsoft browsers were you concerned about in January of 1996" and Gates would claim not to know what "concerned" means. It was the Fat Tony defense: "What's a truck? What's a murder?" It was so stupid and blatant that people in the gallery started laughing aloud at Gates's obstruction (after all, part of his defense was that he was a genius whose mind could not be understood by mere govvies).

The deposition really revealed Gates's expectation that he would be deferred to and even worshipped in the manner that his absolute authoritarian rule over Microsoft had accustomed him to. As Ken Auletta noted, Gates had never had to sit for a job interview or suffer other routine indignities. Goodin: "he had little or no experience tolerating—let alone encountering—dissent, criticism, or challenges to his authority." But even with a better strategy, Gates would have still been in trouble, because he put a bewildering array of radioactively illegal conduct in writing, and the DoJ had it all in black and white:

A conspiracy to force Intuit to bundle Internet Explorer and break compatibility with Netscape

A conspiracy to modify Windows so Netscape-rendered content would appear "degraded"

A conspiracy to make an incompatible version of Java that only ran on Windows, with the goal of "wresting control of Java away from Sun"

A conspiracy to get Apple to break compatibility with Netscape, tying Microsoft Office improvement to Apple's sabotage of Netscape

With all this evidence, the fact that Microsoft escaped serious sanction tells you just how degraded antitrust law has become (it's gotten weaker and worse since). But just as telling is the impact that antitrust enforcement had on Microsoft's conduct. It's undeniable that the reason web companies like Google survived the 2010s is that Microsoft had lost its nerve, after years of traumatic DoJ investigation and litigation. Gates admitted this last year, saying the reason Microsoft didn't bid for Android was they were "distracted" by the antitrust action: https://pluralistic.net/2020/05/16/labor-investors/#big-goog But that action had ended YEARS before Android. When Gates says he was "distracted," he means he was terrified. And as Tim Wu pointed out, it probably made them a better company. Monoplism makes companies act like mafias, stupid and lazy, with an emphasis on abusive commercial practice rather than technical or organizational excellence. When AT&T was broken up in 82, corporatists cried that America was sacrificing its "national champion" just as Japan was eroding America's technical dominance, and without AT&T's monopoly power, America's tech industry was done. Instead, breaking up AT&T opened the space for THE ENTIRE INTERNET, and a generation-long American dominance of a system that has become a planetary nervous system, a source of prolonged American dominance and trillions in GDP. In other words: Fat Tony is a shitty businessman. People express dismay at that 2016 photo of Trump with tech's leaders around a Trump Tower boardroom table, aghast that these people who run our tech world were willing to meet with a racist bully. https://techcrunch.com/2016/12/14/donald-trump-meets-with-tech-leaders/ Fair enough. But even more alarming is something rarely commented upon: THE ENTIRE TECH INDUSTRY FITS AROUND A SINGLE TABLE. That should make you furious and terrified - and glad that we are finally seeing a stirring of America's old trustbusting traditions. Reagan may have maimed antitrust. Bush I, Clinton, GWB, Obama and Trump may have brutalized it. But it is not dead. And it's slowly, relentlessly, getting back on its feet.

Giovanni Gastel

Giovanni Gastel was an internationally celebrated fashion photographer, referred to as a genius by the biggest names in the industry. He was born in Milan into an aristocratic family. He contributed to the birth of  Italian fashion imagery. He began showing an acute capacity for art at the age of twelve and by his late teens had dabbled in photography. In his early twenties, Gastel began working as a photographer at Christie's, the British auction house. In 1981 he discovered the world of fashion photography through his agent. His fashion photography was first published in the magazine Annabella in 1982. This marked a turning point in Gastel’s career; shortly after his first publication he formed a permanent and prosperous partnership with Vogue Italia in 1982. Gastel then met the editor of Edimoda and Gisella Borioli, Flavio Lucchini, and began working for the infamous magazines Mondo Uomo and Donna.

He was Inspired by American photographer Irving Penn from early on and like Penn, Gastel sought to capture classical elegance in his images from a surrealist point of view. He was in constant pursuit of finding beauty. Gastel’s work began truly flourishing during the same time that today's top brands were gaining global recognition such as Versace, Missoni, and Salvatore Ferragamo; Gastel was in symbiosis with these brands. For example Gastel greatly contributed to Ferragamo’s international success and vice versa. Ferruccio Ferragamo, chairman of the Salvatore Ferragamo Group recently stated, “I remember with esteem and gratitude the precious contribution he [Giovanni Gastel] gave to Ferragamo over the years through the magic of his lens.”

By the 90s Giovanni gastel had earned immense success in Italy and moved to Paris. He began working with esteemed French fashion houses including Dior and Nina Ricci. In the 2000s Gastel decided to focus on portraiture and honed this type of imagery, mastering yet another aspect of his craft. He shot many high profile individuals such as Barack Obama. A collection of 200 of his portraits were recently exhibited at the Maxxi Museum in Rome last year, 2020. A series of faces depicting people from the world of culture, design, art, fashion, music, entertainment and politics that Gastel met during his 40-year career. Gastel considered portraiture not as a mirror, but as interpretation of the subject filtered through the photographer's emotions.  

Gastel’s eye for imagery is very unique and poetic, this is clearly demonstrated by his series’ Metamorphosis and Fallen Angels. His Fallen Angels series was originally part of an exhibition at Spazio Ersel in Turin, in 2015 - a curation by Valerio Tazzetti and Paola Giubergia - organized in collaboration with Photo & Contemporary and Spazio 81. The series depicts ethereal winged women in sepia, blue, black and/ or white tones, which each represent the colors of memory for Gastel. His images often appear otherworldly, even when shooting high fashion campaigns he never failed to obscure the line between commercial and artistic. For Gastel photographs are a bit like dreams, carrying many meanings and can develop by themselves. The Metamorphosis series presents Gastel’s explicit surrealistic understanding of photography.

Giovanni Gastel’s most iconic images can be shopped at The Selects Gallery, which offers them in limited edition following the artist’s will.

Announcing the representation of Rick Lowe

September 20, 2021

Gagosian is pleased to announce the representation of

RICK LOWE

__________ New Painting Will Be Revealed as Part of Gallery’s Artist Spotlight Online Series Artist Will Be Featured at Art Basel 2021 and in Upcoming Social Works II Exhibition in London First Solo Exhibition Is Scheduled for September 2022 in New York Gagosian is pleased to announce the representation of Rick Lowe. Lowe’s numerous collaborative projects, undertaken in the spirit and tradition of “social sculpture,” are paired with an extensive body of work in painting, drawing, and installation. Working closely with individuals and communities, he has identified myriad ways to exercise creativity in the context of everyday activities, harnessing it to explore concerns around equity and justice. Influenced by Joseph Beuys’s formulation of “social sculpture,” he has moved from figurative “anti-painting” to the making and maintenance of projects aimed at the transformation of social structures and sites, and to symbolic abstract painting. In 1993, Lowe cofounded Project Row Houses in Houston’s Third Ward, working with fellow artists James Bettison (1958–1997), Bert Long, Jr. (1940–2013), Jesse Lott, Floyd Newsum, Bert Samples, and George Smith—as well as with neighbors and other creative thinkers—to establish a cultural district in a block and a half of derelict shotgun houses. Lowe’s work in Houston has also led him to initiate and participate in other community enterprises throughout the United States and abroad, including the Watts House Project (1996–2012), an artist-driven redevelopment organization in Los Angeles; a collaboration with British architect David Adjaye on a project for the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park (2005); and the production of Trans.lation: Vickery Meadow, a group of six pop-up community markets, for the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas (2013). Among his ongoing initiatives are the Victoria Square Project (2016–), a collaboration with Maria Papadimitriou in Athens’s Victoria Square in the context of Documenta 14; Black Wall Street Journey (2018–) in Chicago; and Greenwood Art Project (2018–21) in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Having used the game of dominoes to engage with residents of the Third Ward during the development of Project Row Houses, Lowe devised a visual language based on the resemblance between his aerial photographs of the game and maps of urban districts. By tracing and layering the patterns he discovers in these images, he continues to produce paintings and drawings that, while visually abstract, represent the reconfiguration and movement of communities over time. Lowe has exhibited these works in institutions worldwide including the Phoenix Art Museum; Contemporary Arts Museum Houston; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase, New York; and Kumamoto State Museum, Japan. Lowe will inaugurate the third season of Gagosian’s Artist Spotlight series, an online program launched in April 2020. A collection of related editorial content—including an exclusive video featuring an interview with the artist filmed in his Houston studio—will launch on September 29. A new painting inspired by his collaborative public project in Athens, and related stylistically to his dominoes works, will be revealed on October 1 and made available exclusively online for forty-eight hours. Lowe will also be featured in the gallery’s booth at Art Basel this month, and in the upcoming Social Works II exhibition in London, which opens on October 7. Lowe’s first solo exhibition at the gallery is scheduled for fall 2022 at Gagosian New York. Rick Lowe was born in 1961 in rural Russell County, Alabama, and lives and works in Houston. Collections include the Brooklyn Museum, New York; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; and Menil Collection, Houston. Solo exhibitions include Art League Houston (2020). Group exhibitions include No Zoning: Artists Engage Houston, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (2009); Economy, Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow, Scotland (2013); and Polis, Museo de Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia (2018–19). He also participated in Documenta 14, Athens (2017). Among Lowe’s numerous community art projects are Project Row Houses, Houston (1993–2018); Watts House Project, Los Angeles (1996–2012); Borough Project (with Suzanne Lacy and Mary Jane Jacob), Charleston, SC (2003); Small Business Big Change, Anyang Public Art Program, Korea (2010); Greenwood Art Project, Tulsa, OK (2018–21); and Black Wall Street Journey  Chicago (2018–).Lowe is a recipient of the Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence (1997), American Architectural Foundation Keystone Award (2000), Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture Governor’s Award for Outstanding Service to Artists (2005), Skandalaris Award for Excellence in Art and Architecture (2009), Creative Time’s Leonore Annenberg Prize for Art and Social Change (2010), and Texas Medal of Arts Award in Visual Arts (2015), among other awards. In 2013 President Barack Obama appointed him to the National Council on the Arts, and in 2014 he was named a MacArthur Fellow. Lowe is currently a professor of interdisciplinary practice at the University of Houston. _____ Rick Lowe. Photo: Brent Reaney

After reading the introduction to Deborah Willis’s “Picturing Us,” my mind thought of a 2018 photograph, that stuck with me and many people around the world.  In a Washington Post article, it is explained that 2 year old Parker Curry was “just so fixated on the portrait and wouldn’t turn away from it,” Parker’s mom, Jessica Curry said, (Rosenwald, 2018).  

I believe this moment with Parker Curry standing in front of a portrait of Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery, connects to a moment that I came across in the Deborah Willis reading.  When reflecting on racial identification, Willis said, “Learning about race and racial pride was consciously encouraged by the black teachers I had in elementary school,” (Willis, para. 2, pg 6).  What was really interesting to me, was how in the first 6 pages (of the 12 page PDF), Deborah Willis was reflecting on coming across “The Sweetflypaper of life,” and how she was introduced to a world of photography before really being able to read.  Willis explained that she would look at the images and create her own meaning to them, before using the context of the words accompanying the images.  On page 4, in the second paragraph Willis says, “Sweetflypaper said to me that there was a place for black people’s stories.”

I find this image of 2 year old Parker Curry to exemplify how powerful and meaningful it can be to have the younger generation to not be bound to outdated textbooks, and to have representation of everyday people or influential leaders who look like them.  

I would also like to note that Deborah Willis shifts from one perspective of photography to another perspective.  I believe that on page 13, (middle of page 6 in the PDF), Deborah Willis writes that, “my search for black photographers was an attempt to respond to the proliferation of negative, derogatory images of black people.”  From then onward I believe that Willis was challenging the depiction of African Americans through early recorded photographs, while providing much more background information and context to the photograph, then what initially may have been portrayed.

Led by CAC docents, guests will hear stories of the visionaries who have designed more than 50 architecturally significant buildings along the Chicago River as well as the Chicago Riverwalk and the 13 bascule bridges on the cruise route.

The 90-minute CAFC River Cruise is the most in-depth, authentic architecture river cruise available and is lauded as a “must-do” activity when visiting Chicago. Exciting new buildings with cutting edge design elements continue to rise along the river including the recently completed St. Regis (Vista) Tower, the city’s third tallest structure, and the refurbished riverfront Old Post Office. Tour guests will leave the cruise inspired by the city’s wide variety of architectural styles—– which glide by as you travel up and down all three branches of the Chicago River—including art deco, neoclassicism, mid-century modernism, and postmodernism.

Chicago’s First Lady’s luxury fleet is the finest on the Chicago River and now includes the new, brass and mahogany trimmed Chicago’s Emerald Lady. Full-service bars on board each vessel.
