”One of the greatest legacies of the 20th century is not just population explosion or better living standards but vastly raised carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. This flag gives this invisible gas, this international risk, an image, a way to represent itself.” John Gerrard

#Repost @sabiaprojects (@get_repost) ・・・ Thinking about flags a lot. Loving how many artists are currently folding this form into their practice to make political statements and tell histories. Love this piece hard. # Repost @collecteurs (@get_repost) ・・・ John Gerrard \ Western Flag (Spindletop, TX), 2017 Gerrard's work depicts the site of the 'Lucas Gusher' - the world's first major oil find - in Spindletop, Texas in 1901, now barren and exhausted. He has recreated the site as a digital simulation and placed at its center a flagpole bearing a flag of perpetually-renewing pressurised black smoke. #johngerrard #westernflag #collecteurs @collecteurs #flag #flagart (at United Kingdom)

Western Flag (Spindletop, Texas) 2017 depicts the site of the 'Lucas Gusher' - the world's first major oil find - in Spindletop, Texas in 1901, now barren and exhausted. Gerrard has recreated the site as a digital simulation and placed at its centre a flagpole bearing a flag of perpetually-renewing pressurised black smoke. The computer generated Spindletop runs in exact parallel with the real site in Texas throughout the year: the sun rising at the appropriate times and the days getting longer and shorter according to the seasons. The simulation is non-durational (having no beginning or end) and is run live by software that is calculating each frame of the animation in real time as it is needed.  Commissioned by Channel 4 for broadcast April 22nd, Earth Day and presented in partnership with Somerset House. Live presentation at Somerset House, Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court, WC2R 1LA London April 20th.  Supported by JJ Charitable Trust, Mark Leonard Trust, Ashden Trust and the Western Flag Supporters Circle
