KRISTINE THOMPSON

I just saw for the first time Kristine Thompon's work and I found it quite interesting. for it narrative.

"In these photographs, I respond to the work of deceased artists who addressed issues of self-portraiture, sentiment, and the relationship of their bodies to specific sites. I use an existing photographic reproduction of their work as a starting point—one that leads me on a search to find the location where the original work was made, or that I appropriate as a prop or set for a photograph where I insert my own body into the original scene.
I am interested in implying a kind of awkwardness, tenderness, and sense of historical slippage by rubbing shoulders with these ghosts." -Kristine

RMP

it is such much nicer to go to the beach than to stay in the city. Therefore last Friday we took the E to the LIRR (babylon stop) to the bus that took us to Robert Moses State park.

FARE MONDI

On Sunday, June 7, 2009, the 53rd International Art Exhibition Venice Biennale 2009 officially opened its doors. The show is curated by Daniel Birnbaum and is titled Fare Mondi, Making Worlds. Here is a video that show a sneak pick of the different pavillions

UNTITLED

Within the normal range of perception, the behavior of objects can be measured and predicted. Ignoring the possibility that in the wrong hands almost any object, including this book you hold, can turn into Exhibit A in a murder trial; ignoring, for the moment, the far more interesting possibility that every object might lead a secret life, it is still safe to say that objects, as we understand them, are relatively stable, whereas ideas are definitely unstable, they not only can be misused, they invite misuse — and the better the idea the more volatile it is. That's because only the better ideas turn into dogma, and it is this process whereby a fresh, stimulating, humanly helpful idea is changed into robot dogma that is deadly.
