By Karly Wildenhaus, Source.Graphics Interchange Format (curated by Laurel Ptak of I Heart Photograph fame) is currently taking place at the Bond Street Gallery in New York as part of the Young Curators, New Ideas exhibition.
From the curator's statement:
Laurel Ptak's exhibition takes the show in a different direction by commissioning 26 photographers, designers, and new media artists to embrace the animated GIF [...] Ptak gave artists only 3 days to complete the commission and encouraged the use of photographic materials. A few of the artists had never made an animated GIF before, while others were notorious for it.
This is something I would love to go see, but unfortunately can't make (read: afford) the trip overseas. There are a couple of samples on I Heart Photograph's post on the exhibition (of which I am sharing one here).
I can't help but find the idea of Net.Art being exhibited in an art gallery a bit odd; art has such a hard time breaking free of the Artworld that work that is (often) intended to be viewed on the computer screen has to make it's way onto the gallery wall somehow (and into catalogues, which is beyond weird to me). Am I missing something?
*Young Curators, New Ideas opened yesterday and will be on at the Bond Street Gallery until September 6th.*
