Untitled (slide) is a 102-ft long work by Carsten Höller and opened yesterday at the New Museum. The slide goes from the 4th floor down to the 2nd.

I was working on some new ideas with my headphones so tight and so loud. I kept on hearing these loud banging noises, but I thought the upstairs neighbors were being loud. Then I noticed the wind carving out the rain outside.

C-prints fade into the light | The Art Newspaper

C-prints = unstable. Not news, but here are fancy people going on record about it, spelling colour in the fancy British way. Maybe you’ll believe them? OK, then! And you might want to keep those Gurskys of yours in a cool dark place while you’re at it.

“

“His figurative painting (which uses photography as its basic model) and his abstract painting - which reflects formal geometric abstraction as well as a much looser abstraction. By placing paint on photographs, with all their random and involuntary expressiveness, Gerhard Richter reinforces the unique aspect of each of these mediums and opens a field of tension rich in paradoxes, as old as the couple – painting / photography –which has largely defined modern art.”

I just love his photographs of paintings. And his paintings of photographs.

“It’s interesting that you bring up coming back here and trying to articulate certain conditions and losing words. That’s exactly how I’ve been feeling, so now I’m back to just drawing. In the past, all my work has evolved from one painting to the next. Little by little I’d bring more and more elements into the painting. I worked with this whole idea that the drawn marks behave as characters, individuals. The characters keep evolving and changing through the painting. But I think with the last group of paintings, I have been able to take this language that I’ve been developing, in all its many parts, and really bring it to a head, almost like a crescendo. I was really trying to make some sense out of this situation we’re in and I felt I had the means, that language to do so, but then afterward when I went back into the studio to make new work, as clearly as everything had crystallized and come together previously, it all disintegrated and fell out from under me. I think those cycles of clarity and confusion are just part of the creative process. The map and the layering and the reason I was actually physically making the paintings all had had a clear and specific meaning in the work.”

Sat, 03 Apr 2010 22:09:48 -0400

“I don’t think that there’s any most appropriate medium. Photography has been an important phenomenon since it was invented, in both social and artistic ways. And it was inevitable that it would become central to art, simply because it’s a picture-making process, and art, Western art at least, is, in a very major way, about making pictures or images. But that doesn’t make photography a more appropriate medium for our times, in my view. All media are interesting, depending on what’s being done with them at the time; sometimes their field is a bit less energetic for one reason or another, but they usually come back.”
