CHRIS MCGINNIS: Fragments no. 20
Chris McGinnis grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania during the waning years of America's post-war industrial paradigm. Shortly after his birth the steel mills closed and the coal industry consolidated. This region braced for an economic winter from which many communities have yet to emerge. As both artist and curator, McGinnis' research continually returns to notions of growth and decline relating to technology and the human experience. Projects inspired by this research chronicle the pursuit of progress and its effect on all facets of society, ranging from industry and community to science and entertainment. Iconography representing the abundance and promise of industrial modernism is reminiscent of a time when American optimism was specifically manifested in large-scale construction and the built environment.

A Pattern of Monstrosity
I hope that my work conveys some sense of the enigma of the human condition, the existential absurdity of life, and an appreciation for the mythologies in which we swaddle ourselves as proof against the unknown. Art is a way for me, a finite creature bowed beneath the weight of infinite mysteries, to wrangle this whole mess into something resembling a coherent philosophy.

20×30 Mounted in Plexi Barbara Erdmann Hubris
To capture these moments and close-up textures, Erdmann uses a Canon camera and lens to ensure the highest resolution for her photos. Barbara says, "I will click a thousand times before capturing the one spectacular photo that speaks to her. I become a bit obsessed." Barbara specializes in large-format images, and favors mounting them in acrylic for a clean and modern look to accentuate the striking images.
The artwork is 20x30 Mounted in Plexi.

berlin – tiergarten
From the series "Code", oil and graphite pencil on paper, 30 x 30 cm. A map is an imprint, a sign of man in the landscape. An alien intelligence, observing our cities from the great distances of the space, could interpret them as the characters of an alphabet, sort of messages, a code of signs, each one different from the other, each with its own meaning and its own syntax. This hypothetical alien presence may not even realize that these cities have a purpose and a function, which are the product of the way we have adapted to live on this planet, but it could engage in an attempt to interpret this unknown language, identifying the alphabet and associating to each character a precise meaning. We will still be able to understand and share this new meanings, or will they have lost any sense for us?
Deer Family
One of the largest tribal communities in South Asia, the Gonds, are mainly found in Madhya Pradesh and its surrounding States. Gond paintings which is mostly "two-dimensional" in style cover numerous themes such as folk stories, religion, nature etc. Their art may be bursting with flamboyant hues or more controlled, in the simple sophistication use of black and white. It is interesting to observe that Gond paintings bear a remarkable likeness to Australian aboriginal art as both forms use dots or lines as fillers. The artist Durga Bai has been transforming the communities ritual performing arts into a new tradition of figurative and narrative visual art: using a variety of modern media including acrylic paintings on canvas ink drawings on paper and has created depictions of the tribal natural and mythological worlds and oral histories.
