- humble arts foundation: marget long
Via Scoop.it - Camera Arts
The representation of history is the driving force behind artist, Marget Long’s practice. She works in a wide range of mediums including, photographs, video and text. Most of her projects explore the history of photography, such as “Bad Light,” which considers how we experience the use of flash in photography over the years through its technological advances. “$pooky Photographs for Sale$,” is a running series of photographs, many vintage from the early 1900s, found for sale online under the tagline of “spooky photographs.” In her most recent project, “A Daguerreotype Sideways: Re-visiting Mathew Brady’s Studio @ 359 Broadway,” Long also investigates the meanings behind the history of photographic space. Her innovative approach and explorations into the practice of photography, from its history to its present day interpretations, set Long apart from her contemporaries.

Let’s say something interesting about surveillance. I’ll be gathering my observations about the reactions to my work from the Close Distance show at the Mills Gallery pretty soon.
Museums have fueled the destruction of far more knowledge than they have preserved
A group show at the Mills Gallery I’m involved with (a video installation) — I rarely show at galleries and let me point out that I don’t think there is anything special in this decision. Yet it’s been a reluctant, uncomfortable journey for me to approach the white cube again. Let’s say something wise about questioning your own dogma and let’s finish by saying something hopeful about risk-taking and autodidactism.

- Michel Gondry vs. Hollis Frampton
“La Tour de Pise”, directed by Michel Gondry (1993) vs. “Zorn’s Lemma” (1970) by American structural experimental filmmaker Hollis Frampton. (Early last month, the Harvard Film Archived screened Hollis Frampton’s “Hapax Legomena” cycle but alas I have yet to see Zorn’s Lemma projected in Boston.)

After a hiatus of many moons I’ve finally knocked the cobwebs from this space. Let’s begin a conversation shall we.
I am not a hunter and gatherer: I don’t walk with my camera strapped to my neck looking for the world to reveal itself to me but if I was and this happened to me, this moment, this image… I would take it as a sign from the photo gods that I was doing the right thing.

PICÓ PICANTE welcomes VENUS X, Jubilee, Rizzla and Pajaritos to Good Life’s dancefloor on Friday, May 18th.
promo mix for Pico Picante May 2012.
May 18th at the Good Life Boston.
Pajaritos + Rizzla + Jubilee + Venus XBack in April, PICÓ PICANTE hosted a panel for Together Festival, “Investigating the “Post-Geographic”: Music and Events That Reach Beyond Traditional Cultural Borders.” We were so excited to have our friend Wayne Marshall (wayneandwax.com, Beat Research) moderate, with guest speakers Ghislain Poirier, DJ Ripley, Chief Boima, Max Pearl and Jesse Kaminsky.
Check out the video for 60-minutes of discussion that left us birds feeling overwhelmingly inspired and ready to move forward with new light shed on frameworks for a considerate, socially-conscious platform for future events! The panel mined the premises at the heart of PICÓ PICANTE: a sincere exploration of how cultures intersect, an aversion to exoticism, and a belief in the importance of creating dynamic, multicultural spaces through music.
