May 4Interview w/Cory Verellen

“I think I’m most interested in what is intangible - things that I can’t control... it causes me to have to recalculate how I view something”

A regular display case inside Rare Medium. This particular dispaly shows the Polaroid One Step models and accessories.

Cory’s work station. Notice the hardware and tools in the background, the test shots in the foreground, and of course the Land Camera that is being repaired.

JUSTINMATA

justinmata.com

I hope that my work provides an opportunity to look at something slowly and deliberately. Bryan Memorial Town Hall is based on a huge building in Connecticut, but the sculpture is small and distorted in comparison. The scale of the sculpture makes it easy to get up close to the piece and examine all the folds, bends and splatters of paint in a way that could not be done with a giant building.

SELECTED WORK

JENNY VORWALLERjennyvorwaller.com

In my abstract pieces, I’m seeking to find that viewers experience a departure from reality. It’s powerful to me that I can communicate so much using just color, texture and space for others to find a place to respond to their emotions.

May 27Received interview from Liz Maxfield

“I also paint for those who appreciate my work and what I am doing... Art is a form of communication and when I have communicated something special and unique without using any words, it’s a great feeling”

Jaq Chartierjaqbox.com

Each of my paintings begins as an actual “test” to explore some aspect of my materials – deeply saturated inks, stains and dyes which migrate and seep through creamy white paint films and layers of acrylic resin.

Inspired in part by scientific images of gel electrophoresis, the paintings feature intimate views of materials and document how they react to each other, to light, and to the passage of time.

Beautiful, but also sort of bizarre – inflamed, infectious-looking, suggestive of energies that we can’t see.

A graphic I generated myself while studying Albers’ examples. The two gray squares are of the same color, but because color is relative and because it is interactive, it appears as two different shades of gray while on top of two distinct colors, blue and yellow.

LETTER FROM THE EDITORJune 7, 2013

“Sight is... all knowledge obtained through intellect” Thomas Aquinas, (Summa Theologica, Q. 67, Art. 1).

Dear Reader,

Within the following pages, you will find eleven artists who strive and actively engage to identify and articulate beauty itself, as its own form.

Much like the Polaroid photograph pictured in its ascending stages of development, I pray that you may gain an intimate insight from these artists and that their shared perspectives will lead you onto a similar step-wise journey in pursuit of beauty. To “see”, according to Plato, is the first rung of a ladder to understanding beauty that is constant, eternal, the one from which all other beautiful things commune: the truth.

I am thankful to all the artists who have participated in this project, for allowing us all to see through their collective lens, for making a complex pursuit an exciting and tangible one.

Sincerely,

Morgan Cadigan
