Capricious Space: Summer Reading

This August, Capricious Space will be transformed into a magical, sunlit library – a haven for reading, reflection and retreat from reality – through the display of a very special collection of photo-based artists’ books, submitted by you!

With your help, we will showcase Books as artworks, books about artists, scrolls in jars, carefully sewn Xeroxes, one-of-a-kind and weird books, books created by and/or about you!

Please mail us your photography-based artist book and we will display it for the duration of the exhibition. Then if you choose to include return shipping fees, we will very happily return it to you, OR we would love to give your book a permanent home in our Capricious Space archive.

Send an email letting us know that you'll be participating and then send a single copy of your artist book to the following address, no later than Friday, August 1, 2008:

Opening reception // Tammy Rae Carland // June 20, 7-11pm

For her first solo exhibition at Silverman Gallery An Archive of Feelings selects new photographs and video works by Tammy Rae Carland that are themed around holding on to or at least remembering the things that are hard to let go of. On view from June 20 – July 27, 2008 An Archive of Feelings embodies Carland’s personal experiences and relationships to family, friends and ex-lovers. Borrowing its title and sensibility from Ann Cvetkovich's book by the same name, An Archive of Feelings reaches out to the viewer without being overly sentimental.

Grief can often be so monumental that we resort to erecting monuments in it's honor; things and places bigger than us, that tower over the delicacies of our experience, rendering our feelings inefficient and inept. But what of all the little things we save, or purge, the things that are supposed to survive when bodies, moments and love do not? What becomes of all the personal hand held monuments that can electrify memory and experience? They become photographs because for Carland, a photograph is literally a trace, a sign, a symbol or evidence of something that was, something that existed somewhere - however fleeting that existence might have been.

Depicted in An Archive of Feelings are what serve us when the love object goes missing and we attach ourselves to the thing, the fetish, the photograph, in order to fill the void, in order to mend the gap and not sit empty with ourselves, with our feelings. My Inheritance, the largest work in the exhibition is comprised of all the objects Carland took from her mothers house after her passing. These are not the objects left to Carland but rather the items that triggered an emotional reaction, a memory or a moment. The work is in that sense an homage or an archive, and leaves the viewer with an intense, sincere and uncomfortably emotional impression.

Of the 21 objects in My Inheritance most of them show wear or seem to have been used in everyday life. There is a beat up map of San Francisco, perhaps when Carland's mother would visit, a crossword puzzle yet to be finished, a burnt crochet coaster and a box full of scraps. While My Inheritance is perhaps more embedded in the context of loss, One Love Leads To Another (tapes), is more closely related to the issue of time, personal taste and gifting. The personal mixtape is in many ways an art form and carefully selecting and ordering the tracks a mixtape can create an artistic statement that is greater than the sum of its individual songs. For One Love Leads To Another (tapes) cassettes, cassette covers hand painted by friends and personal playslists lineup like an army. In this work, the songs, chosen by friends and lovers give us insight into some of Carland’s most personal relationships and at the same time acts as a gathering of distinct artistic practices.

What emanates from bodies, relationship and experience imprints itself in our memory via things and sensation, the thing itself holding and transmitting the sensation. An Archive of Feelings is an attempt to archive the impossible, the nebulous, the disappeared and the intangible – an incoherent archive of feelings.

Jeff Koons @ the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago by Keith Brown, Chicago
In an interview with Rolling Stone in November of 2007, hip-hop mogul Jay-Z revealed that he owns works by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Takashi Murakami. Within this very same month two Jeff Koons pieces Diamond (Blue), 1994-2005, and Hanging Heart (Magenta/Gold), 1994-2006, sold for a combined $35.4 million, which shattered auction totals for a living artist. Ironically, we live in a world where rapping can provide you with the quality of wealth required to collect highly expensive works of fine art and artists' can make more money in two nights than most people can gross in a life time...

What Comes Naturally @ Fake Estate by Ana Finel Honigman, New York
Doing "What Comes Naturally," usually refers to something racier than floral painting. But New York's Fake Estates, the experimental group show by that name demonstrates that a sharp and gritty artistic imagination can make even modest flowers appear more raw and earthy than nature intended. In the gallery's 80 square foot space (it was once a utility closet for a photographer's studio in the Chelsea Arts Building) the eleven works on view offer a variable bouquet for the senses...

Neo Rauch @ David Zwirner by Emily Schroeder, New York
Neo Rauch's paintings are said to be of dreams or by dreams. Rauch's work was described as a "neo-romantic socialist realism by way of Courbet, Delacroix, surrealism and Kippenberger," but also touches on Pop Art. The light seems to come from underneath in early canvases as any good Renaissance painting should, post conservation. Rauch's 2005 at David Zwirner, Regeneration, was aptly so...
