Hello
I'm writing because I'm an artist working on a project
and am looking for
venues for exhibition of the project. I wondered
if any of you could recommend any curators who might
be interested
in the project.
The project concerns digital monograms. I use an
online barcode generation service to produce barcodes
using
information I feed it about the person who possesses a
particular object
(usually it is their initials- like a traditional
monogram, date and other
info). The barcode can then be engraved or embroidered
etc onto object such
as compacts, flasks, business card holders, towels,
sheets etc.
It's a play on the traditional 3-letter monogram that
used to be applied to
objects to identify their owners, mending visual art
with technology with
fashion and design etc...
I'm going to be distributing a few pieces soon- to the
collection of Sol
LeWitt, Inez van Lamsweerde of Matthew Marks gallery,
Marc Jacobs of Louis
Vuitton, Matthew Barney and Bjork etc. There is also a
possibility of doing
an exclusive piece for the artist's group etoy
(postmasters gallery). I have
also been in touch with the curator of new media at
the Whitney Museum and
it looks like I might have a spot on the Artport site
in fall/winter; I will
also be working with Paul Miller aka DJ Spooky that
Subliminal Kid soon and
doing a show in yugoslavia as well.
I can send pics at your request.
Please let me know if you're interested.
Jennifer
