Well worth a trip to Corning, NY!https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/archives.jpgarchivesThe exhibition, New Glass Review | Context, includes this display showing that all submitted entries become archived at CMOG. This is a really generous additional benefit, that even if works are not selected for publication, they become part of this institution's archive, available to researchers in the future. I really loved Lenka Clayton's and Jon Rubin's project, "Fruit and Other Things" using the archives of all entries to the Carnegie International, and I would love to see artists and researchers dive into the New Glass Review archives.https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/600px-inverted_pyramid_2.svg_.png600px-Inverted_pyramid_2.svgThe Air Force Departmental Publishing Office (AFDPO) derivative work: Makeemlighter // Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_pyramid_(journalism)2020-03-12T20:11:09+00:00monthlyhttps://blog.christinewongyap.com/2020/03/07/commendations-nycs-public-artist-in-residence-pair-open-call/2020-03-07T15:49:58+00:00monthlyhttps://blog.christinewongyap.com/2020/01/26/casey-jex-smiths-life-timeline/https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cjs_timeline.jpgcjs_timelineTimeline by artist Casey Jex Smith2020-01-26T13:12:03+00:00monthlyhttps://blog.christinewongyap.com/2020/01/19/read-on-portraiture-an-artist-in-residence-program-and-who-belongs/2020-01-20T02:27:48+00:00monthlyhttps://blog.christinewongyap.com/2019/12/27/lmcc-workspace-residency-update-1-what-who-where-when-how-why-and-what-ive-been-up-to/https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/70pine-web.jpg70pine-webThe gorgeous Art Deco lobby at 70 Pine.

When I saw a similar image printed on a flyer, I first thought it was an illusion created with mirrors. When I looked through the actual artwork, I had an "Inception" moment. The project isn't about the illusion of depth. It is actual spatial depth. In fact, it extends the length of the entire library—over 100 feet. The inside of the box is laminated with a photo of the actual stacks that the box is located in. There's a lot of wonderful openness in this project, from seeing other people look through the box, to when patrons re-shelve books in the space, to seeing other patrons observe still other patrons interacting. https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/passage-side-view-600x800.jpgpassage-side-view-600x800Killoran's Passage, an intervention in the stacks at the Central Queens Library.https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/rebound-600x600.jpgrebound-600x600The back cover of the Rebound books have a sign-in form. While it resembles a inter-office envelope, I liked thinking about it as a counterpoint to the sign-in book you'd find at a trail summit. The latter marks a place and an achievement. This sheet, in contrast, documents whose hands the book has passed through, marking the transit and sharing.https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/rebound-cover-600x765.jpgrebound-cover-600x765Rebound, Killoran's practice of re-covering books.

Glue down to your text block and beat down with a bone folder. Smooth the edge with a bone folder too. Flip the book over and apply glue to the last segment of endpaper and smooth with a bone folder.

This looks a lot like a face-mounted print but it's actually a rear-painted sheet of plexiglass. I've always appreciated the vividness that rear-painted glass works have after seeing them at the Corning Museum. This is a nice spin in subject matter, photo realism, and materials.

At the fair, Magnan Metz had him transform the entire booth with a full installation, complete with salvaged wood flooring and some kind of memorial stone that visitors could take rubbings of.

Those who graduated in the 80s and 90s (who are likely older), clearly make more than recent grads with less post-graduate work experience. However, the key point of this bar chart is that income disparity by gender in the arts is an ongoing trend over the past 30 years. The pay difference is highest among those who earn more; for recent grads, the 10% more of men who earned $50k is also 100% more of women who earned $50k. 2013-09-15T23:03:54+00:00monthlyhttps://blog.christinewongyap.com/2013/08/23/a-declaration-of-principles-for-artists-cultural-workers-and-supporters-thereof/https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/adeclarationofprinciples-pocket1-617x800.jpgaDeclarationofPrinciples-Pocket1-617x800By posting this page, we submit that we are an artist, cultural worker, or a supporter thereof and declare the following: we are no longer interested in participating in consultancies, asset maps, or activities that offer us “promotional opportunities” in absence of clear financial or strategic gain. We will not support the exploitation of artists or other cultural workers or their works for the sole purpose of further municipal or economic planning, fundraising, or marketing. We refuse to acknowledge the existence of the politically-invented term, creative economy, which lumps together practicing artists with video cassette duplication services. We can no longer participate in activities that knowingly disadvantage artists with less experience and we vow to make accessible opportunities that we have to these same artists. We hereby decide to stop playing prescribed games and to start making it up for ourselves. Henceforth, we will support one another by adhering to this declaration.2013-09-15T23:03:44+00:00monthlyhttps://blog.christinewongyap.com/2013/08/30/inverse-flag-designs/https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/0806miller-miller_fam_flag_.jpg0806miller miller fam flag 0806miller miller fam flag https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/flag.gifflagflaghttps://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/fairtextee.jpgfairtexteefairtextee2013-09-15T23:03:29+00:00monthlyhttps://blog.christinewongyap.com/2013/09/11/iran-do-espirito-santos-poetics/https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1280325237_iran-do-espirito-santo-waterglass-2-2008-118-web.jpg1280325237_Iran-do-Espirito-Santo---Waterglass-2-2008-[118]-WEBIran do Espírito Santo, Water Glass 2, 2008, crystal, edition 23/25, 14 x 8.5 x 8.5 cm. // Source: Ingleby Gallery, inglebygallery.com.

I am all for art projects that appropriate Google Street View, but something about the selection of these images, and their presentation as nice, re-photographed photos, seems exploitative. I saw the Google van when it came down my street. I felt curious and powerless to escape its cameras. In these moments, the subjects are no more or less powerless in their relationship to the Google camera, but putting a magnifying glass to them for further inspection, and grouping them among other scenes of impoverishment, seems further, and unnecessarily, disempowering.https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/sfo_mandell_sultan.jpgsfo_mandell_sultanA few moments after suppressing a few goodbye tears at SFO, I re-encountered this mosaic tile by Mike Mandell and Larry Sultan. Based on photographs of people awaiting arrivals, the faces are expectant. Reunifications are impending, and there's something very sweet about that joy counterbalancing the sorrow of goodbyes in equal measure at the airport.https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/sfmoma_tobiaswong.jpgsfmoma_tobiaswongTobias Wong's mirrored puzzle.

They totally side-busted the peaceful, poetic 1,001 Chairs for Ai Weiwei with street protest tactics: bullhorns, chants, raised fits (though suit jackets and matching ball caps is pretty Chinese). It's funny because the stereotype is that Chinese people are quiet, but today it was the Chinese contingent that wanted to be heard. https://blog.christinewongyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/pasternak.jpgpasternakAnn Pasternak, Director of Creative Time, addressing the crowd.
