Hi there, Thought some of you might be interested in our latest show, which opens Thursday, with the online project extending throughout the month. William Boling, a US based artist, is running a series of auctions on TradeMe using source imagery from the site and it's counterpart, eBay. See more info and links below.
Cheers, Luke WINDOW onsite presents "Best Wishes Jason Rhoades" by Martyn Reynolds Opening Thursday 9 August 2007 at 6pm Jason Rhoades is dead. For many of us, this has been a hard thing to come to grips with, not least Martyn Reynolds. When the shadow cast by one's idol is no longer bound by the body of its owner, how does one continue to imagine their work? Indeed, is the work of an artist like Jason Rhoades even possible without the force of his living presence in the world? With R & R Sport, Switched On Gardener and Blue Fitness as his support network, Martyn attempts to come to grips with the untimely loss of one of the art world's leading lights. As a means of addressing such a rupture in the circuit, Martyn creates an elusive temporal logic; a vague but coherent system which emerges from within the mechanics of sponsored fitness equipment and a hydroponic grow-lamp. ***************************************************************************** WINDOW Online presents "You Ain't Wrong" by William Boling Bid live on TradeMe or view page at http://www.window.auckland.ac.nz There are currently 954,837 items for sale on TradeMe. With few exceptions these transactions were supported by digital images created by amateurs to promote the sell. This month at Window, Atlanta based artist William Boling stages a multi part online project centering around the ubiquitous auction website. Boling has found, paired, and photographed a series of objects from both eBay and TradeMe that harmonize with or repell each other - "20 Teat Feeding Bin" or a "Dinky Toys No. 692 5.5 medium gun". He'll be auctioning these diptychs over the next week, culminating in a winning bid on Opening night. The user feedback, screens, and media from this process will be compiled into 3 books, which Boling will sell at a second auction later in the month. The exhibition runs 9 August – 8 September 2007 WINDOW is a contemporary art project space with an On Site / Online premise, running parallel programs of experimental media and virtual art. WINDOW On Site is located in the foyer of the University of Auckland's General Library.
