The art of Tim Burton




 

I have never seen the MoMa so packed.  Last night, the museum was full of life, overflowing with contributors, special members and the die hard Tim Burton fans that lined up to see the special exhibition opening... it was hard to see the work between the crowd, wondering if there will ever be a quiet time to enjoy the work in silence... doubtful. Members preview Nov18-21st. Show opens to the public Nov 22-April 26th.

Printed Matter





Tom Beale introduced me to an artist who shares a studio in his building. Midori Harima. Midori collects images from books, magazines and the internet. and converts them into black and white copies then she fabricates hollow sculptures.  In her artist statement Midori explains "The hollow figure, its surface covered with fragments of Xeroxed images, corresponds to how we perceive objects in an information intensive society. By transferring symbolic media images into the sphere of actual existence I aim to shift from automatic, brain-centered understanding triggered by visual information to a holistic experience of seeing which accompanies corporeal and visceral sensation. This process is based on primal experiences from my childhood. I experienced media images and stories by directly relating to them as reality, not understanding them within a stable subject-and-object relationship; this frightened me and shook my foundation".  For additional images of Midori's work click here

It was great fun spending the afternoon with Thomas Beale in his studio.
