Paid a visit to Richard Devine at his home in the Atlanta suburbs. Spent the afternoon talking shop with him and Josh Kay, of Phoenecia fame. All of us will convene in June at Duncan Laurie’s studio for Mind Meld III.
Dara Kılıçoğlu and Çağlar Kanzık’s piece in the Tershane group show, entitled “ELVIS.” The group show consisted of a number of approx 40cm square pressboard boxes that the artists decorated the interior of. Dara and Çağlar’s box was mirrored to provide an endlessly reflected view of a security camera with ELVIS emblazoned on the side. The camera was liberated from “watching” an ATM in Ankara a couple of years ago. The camera turned out to be an empty fake. The veneer of safety without any of the substance. The “ELVIS” piece is “…a critisim of Turkey’s politics against EU standarts and shifting socio-control process nationwide.” Dara’s blog post. On Düğümküme here and here in Turkish.
After over a year and a half working behind the scenes to build up online presence for Duncan Laurie at duncanlaurie.com, I have joined the front of house team as a designer. The first project that I will collaborate on with Duncan is the design of a print edition of his Radionics book.
