Rules reminder :)
Today I banned two users, 1 for promoting their own YouTube, the other for linking to their own art sales website through editorial pieces they generated. We will not allow these kinds of posts as they are against our sidebar rules. We may be a quiet and barely-there subreddit, but it's still a special little place for art news :)
Anyway hello everyone, hope you're all doing great. Next week is art fair week in NYC, I already know there's other folks here that are working our asses off too. Good luck y'all!

Sudie Rakusin: A Vision of Harmony Through Art

Art critic Boris Brollo talks about Brian Miller's pictures of speed.
This is part of what he says:
The pictures remind him of Boccioni. (one of the greatest painters of the Futurist movement)
There are different marks, but they have the ancestry of Futurism.
[The artist] takes these photos [seemingly] out of focus, but he makes them with intent, he is carving the landscape, that is the light, and therefore the landscape is lived with a continuous flow, a flow of time of the consciousness.
It is not a chronological measure that sets the time but it is our consciousness, our reality, that lives it that determines the time.
And [the artist] determines this natural nature, converting it into speed.
So with the speed the nature changes, they become an ensemble of lights;
and therefore it becomes space-time and then yes,
it widens, it dilates, it is a distorted nature. The nature, we can almost say, of the future.
