“It was important that people come to value light as we value gold, silver, paintings, objects.”
—James Turrell

New video from the Exclusive series: James Turrell, our current 100 Artists featured artist, describes the values and perceptions of light while revisiting one of his “skyspace” works, Second Meeting (1989).

“An exhibition is in many ways a series of conversations. Between the artist and viewer, curator and viewer, and between the works of art themselves. It clicks when an exhibition feels like it has answered some questions, and raised even more.” – Thelma Golden

OPEN CALL — SEND CREATIVE TIME REPORTS YOUR PHOTOS OF TRANSFORMED PUBLIC SPACES AROUND THE WORLD!

Creative Time Reports is currently seeking original photographs of public spaces across the world that have served as sites of activism and agitation, taken before, during and after major political events. We are looking for images similar to the above photographs of Tahrir Square, depicting the central Cairo throughway before, during, and after the 2011 protests that overthrew Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.

Other sites of social struggle might include New York City’s Zuccotti Park, London’s Finsbury Square, Madrid’s Puerta del Sol or Oakland’s Oscar Grant Plaza. We aim to present a transnational array of images that capture the diverse experiences of activists, and the myriad public spaces they have occupied and revolutionized, in the struggles against austerity, authoritarianism, corruption and inequity that have intensified worldwide in this new decade.

Submissions of only “before,” “during” or “after” photographs are welcome, in addition to selections that highlight progressions from one stage of protest activity to the next. Images may be more focused on individuals or groups, existing architecture or provisional encampments, but should showcase the transformation of public space. Please limit your submission to a maximum of 20 images.

All submissions must be sent via email to editorial@creativetime.org and follow the below guidelines:

Photos you submit must be your own.

Subject lines for all emails should include your name and the words: “Creative Time Reports Open Call Submission.”

Please include:

- your name and, if applicable, the URL of your website;

- a caption noting the location(s) and date(s) for your image(s);

- a short description (two sentences maximum) of your image(s), as well as any links to news articles that might be relevant for background (optional);

- an English translation of any foreign language descriptions or articles.

If files are too large to send in an email attachment, please use You Send It or We Transfer, and include the date and time you uploaded the file in your email.

Deadline: May 31, 2013

We look forward to seeing your views of the square!

NOTE: While we always accept submissions, this is a specific call for images of politically vibrant public spaces, before, during and after a major event. By submitting, photographers grant the use of their image(s) as stated without further contact or compensation from Creative Time Reports. All images used will carry a credit line of the photographer. Copyright and all other rights remain with the photographer.

This Richard Serra visual joke is making us cry! So good.

lifeafternewyork:

One of my favorite Toronto landmarks is somewhat of a secret - to see it you need an international plane ticket. Once you’ve passed security and entered the departure lounge of Toronto Pearson Airport, you’ll find Richard Serra’s grandiose, “Tilted Spheres” (2002-2004). Trust me when I say a healthy dose of jet lag makes its enormous size and trippy echo effect even more surreal. As an added chuckle, I recently came across this photo by Canadian artist, Dean Baldwin, titled “Explaining the Richard Serra at Pearson Airport Using a Red Onion” (2007). Canadian humor is the best.

“To be working with my hands with the clay generates a stimulus in the brain. The connection between the brain and the breathing, and the sweating, and the time that you spend, and how you slow down thinking or you accelerate thinking—you generate the different aspects of thinking. When I feel that it should be ready is a quite subjective thing. The shape should represent what just happened before.”
—Gabriel Orozco

Gabriel Orozco, our current 100 Artists featured artist, is shown here in 2002 working at Le Chailloux La Tuilerie in France, a former brick factory converted into a ceramics studio. This scene is featured in the Art in the Twenty-First Century Season 2 episode, Loss & Desire (2003).

Ugo Rondinone is about to rock NYC once again! Human Nature, an installation of nine bluestone giants in Rockefeller Center, presented by Public Art Fund, opens April 23.

As you probably remember, Rondinone’s Hell, Yes! adorned the facade of New Museum from December 2007 through November 2010.

In 2006, Creative Time presented Rondinone’s white, enameled aluminum sculptures made from casts of Italian olive trees in Battery Park City for Art on the Plaza 6. The works were poetically entitled air gets into everything even nothing and get up girl a sun is running the world.
