1:1:1 #5, Niessen & De Vries, published by Uitgeverij Boek.

This 1:1:1 publication #05 is about the work of Gabriel Lester.

Gabriel Lester is an artist and film maker. The films and installations of Gabriel Lester work from the inside out. They aim to provoke dramatic tension and direct the gaze inwardly as well as outwardly. These works, which occupy both time and space, are made up out of dramatic suggestions and are either implicitly narrative, explicitly visual or both at once. The frequent use of cinematographic devices, such as montage, sequences, cross-cuts and spatial edits, provide a tension span or at times a storyline. Subjects, such as psychology of space, constitution of memory, evocation of predicament, magic thought, set-up and pay-off, and destiny, surface frequently in his art works.

1:1:1 is a documentary series in print exploring reproduction and the rationale behind the works of artists and designers.

Lodown Magazine. Transience – Art Issue #4

Transience – Art Issue #4, published by Lodown Magazine.

Everything is in transience, everything is in flux, it just depends on the scale of time you choose to associate it with. Time, our ultimate and elusive tool to comprehend our being. Is there anything that is not transient? As we dig deeper and deeper into the mathematics of our being, it seems that nothing is stable. Only time makes things solid. The illusion of time, as we know by now. Humans recently discovered particles of matter that can go back and forth in time, which makes a present presence obsolete. As far as we have come, the only constant that remains is energy but it is also transient like anything else. How long can you lift a 30 kg stone, before it will drag down your powerful arms? And how long you could hold something without breathing? Energy is transient and matter is e nergy. When will somebody solve this riddle of time, energy, and flux. Will science have the answer? Will art lead us there? Art is fantasy grounded on energy, elusive and unstable, science is bound to our elusive perception: do you really believe you are made of atoms? Science is fantasy and art is fiction. The only thing that can be grasped is floating away transient in time. Energy shall remain positive.

Transience features Yoshimitsu Umekawa, Jonathan Zawada, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Charles ‘Chaz’ Bojorquez, Usugrow, Niels ‘Shoe’ Meulman, Mishima Akiyoshi, Trevor Paglen, Maurizio Nannucci, Urs Fischer, Frank Thiel, Paul Fryer, Agnes Meyer-Brandis and Laurie Lipton.

Paul Rooney. Dust and Other Stories. Akerman Daly & Aye-Aye Books.

Dust and Other Stories, Paul Rooney published by Akerman Daly & Aye-Aye Books.

Paul Rooney is an artist and writer, and winner of the 2008 Northern Art Prize. This collection of short fiction includes 19 stories all written in his trademark style, which has echoes of Iain Sinclair, Samuel Beckett and Donald Barthelme all offset by Liverpudlian humour. These stories take us away from the crowd to abandoned people, places and mythologies. Through them we mine unregarded moments and complex histories, all uncovered with writing that mixes absurdity, comedy and artifice. I Can Travel Far From Here implores us to join a wayward evangelical mission. In Lost High Street a tourist realises he is trapped forever on a sightseeing bus as punishment for an act of espionage. And in Thin Air a student believes a university building is speaking to him about European wars and revolutions. Rooney’s writing is admired by poet George Szirtes and has been reviewed by The Guardian, Art Review, The Wire and MAP Magazine, among others.
