Random Amber Stars: Olafur Eliasson on Embodied Experience

randomamberstars:

The theme for me really is: how does landscape influence us? How does landscape give us tools that we can use in other situations? And these are some of the things I think I was interested in even when I was younger. Because when I started hiking slightly later in my teenage years, and I got more…

sophiajacob is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Caitlin Cunningham. Keeping with recurrent themes in the artist’s work, this project parodies misogyny in modern art and its relationship to perpetually consumed depictions of idyllic landscapes and escape-fantasies. Caitlin’s exhibition grows from an inquiry into the mythology of Paul Gauguin and the venerable choke-hold of tourism in the area known as Tahiti (French Polynesia).

My process involves reading, writing, making objects inspired by the master, using the paint colors he did according to Eyewitness books, and assembling relevant ephemera into illogical but possibly related narratives. ~ CC

Do Not Desire Me, Imagine Me

by Mary Szybist


As Corpse                         Loosened, bare, profusely female,
                                              the pulse in my thigh
                                              unthreaded—

As Hair                              Clear of furies, of flowers,

As Dirt                               The ants sift through 
                                              and soften

                                              And with no fingertips, imagine

As Dust                              You can hang the air on me
