Facebook Releases "Open Form" A Book Celebrating Five Years Of Their Artist In Residence (AIR) Program

11/3/2017

Picture
The book features 225 origina art installations that were part of AIR. It also features an introductory essay from Natasha Boas on the intersection between tech and art as well as the evolution of counterculture and cyberculture. Facebook releases Open Form, a book celebrating five years of their Artist in Residence (AIR) program.

The book is a work of art in itself. You might be afraid to open it. No way you want a coffee stain or crumbs to get on this. Open Form calls to mind the catalog from many years of Art Basel Miami, excepting that the binding and presentation is more elegant. They really went all in on this book and in the selection of these artists. The curators are to be
congratulated.

AIR began at Facebook's headquarters and is now global. There are four dedicated curators in the four regional areas Facebook has an office (Chicago, Dublin, Sao Paulo and Seattle). The point isn't just to display art but to create a connection to the artists and offer local artist's a chance to make new, large scale art--notably site-specific installations.

You can check out video profiles of the artists participating HERE. You can purchase a copy of the book for $85 HERE.

The Print Center (Philadelphia) Presents A Portfolio Of Prints, "The Leisure Pool Suite," By Kristen Martincic

6/16/2015

Picture
The Print Center (1614 Latimer St., Philadelphia) is set to offer a new portfolio of prints from Kristen Martincic. The pieces,
collectively titled, The Leisure Pool Suite, are of six woodcuts and an H20 Pool Float.

These prints have, as subjects, aerial views of backyard swimming pools. These pools are divorced from their natural surroundings. Glancing
at the work the viewer might figure out the subject immediately--or think of other meanings to these shapes. The prints seems a great purchase to
start the summer (and then you can look at them in the winter and sigh).

The series, and individual prints from the series, are available exclusively from The Print Shop. If you opt for the complete set it comes in a
box handcrafted by Martincic.

You can see more by (and read more about) the artist at kmartincic.com. Her work has been shown all over the USA and also at the American University in
Cairo.
