MEDIA COOKS ART

Martha Rosler - Julia Child - Dan Akroyd

∼ Drama is very important in life: You have to come in with a bang. You never want to go out with a whimper. Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake. -Julia Child-

The media in active everyday life is when cooking highs. Julia Child's stuffed turkey recipe where you add 1(12-to 15-pound) turkey, neck and giblets removed and reserved for gravy, 1 teaspoon plus 2 teaspoons minced fresh sage, salt and pepper, wooden skewers, 1 1/2 pounds hearty white sandwich bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3 onions, chopped fine, 6 celery ribs, minced, 1cup dried cranberries, 4 large eggs, beaten and before all the evening news at 6:30pm eastern time.

The artist Martha Rosler working with multiple media such as photography, sculpture, video and installation. Her interests are centeredon the public sphere and landscapes of everyday life - actual and virtual - especially as affect women. Related projects focus on housing, on the one hand, and systems of transportation, on the other. She has long produced works on war and the "national security climate" connecting every day experiences at home with the conduct of war abroad. Other works, from bus tours to sculptural recreations of architectural details, are excavations of history.

 In her recent exhibition at 56th La Biennale di Venezia, Martha Rosler - "The Art Of Cooking: A Dialogue Between Julia Child And Craig Claiborne", portray's an intellectual carrier woman behind the mythical stove chopping meat, cooking delicatessens influenced by the french cuisine, and describe cooking as art?, impressive as a master master painting hanging on your wall?. The dialogue could be categorized as a monologue between Julia and Craig addressing the dietary of every day cooking quality food and off the best restaurants and chef's or dishes prepared for occasions. Craig Claiborne was a food editor for the New York Times and very good friend with Julia Child. More

on the conversation please visit here.

Julia Child as a TV personality and author is known for numerous awards and appearances  on national TV, mastering the art of cooking. But could food be a real painters manifestation on a painting exaggeration the importance of creative food and hang it at your wall? I believe art is not meant to be eaten only by brain, is the food for the brain not your stomach. Rather than going to museums gallery's and bookstores or other places that offer food for the brain, couch your self and watch on the television the next episode from the food network. Media and food recipes are ingredients for a bon appetite dinner not ultimate art or basic need for food. Of course cooking can be done independently and i believe raw food tastes better.

A soft voice and a mannered epiphany is a good recipe when comes to taste comedians. Therefore Dan Akroyd is a tasting bad comedian that really works on the the character of Julian Child or even a cooked meal on a television show.

DOUGLAS GORDON - PHANTOM AT GAGOSIAN GALLERY 75 AND PARK NEW YORK.

Opening reception: Thursday, December 11th, from 6:00 to 8:00pm

I think it's supposed to be about provoking enough of a memory that people take it away and do their own thing with it. For me, artwork... is something that you should be able to take away-you don't have to be present in front of it,  and that's the potency of the artwork when it works.
 -Douglas Gordon

"TEARS BECOME...STREAMS BECOME...,"
PHOTO: JAMES EWING

Gagosian New York is pleased to present Douglas Gordon's Phantom (2011), coinciding with "tears become... streams
become...," his large-scale installation on view at the Park Avenue Armory from December 9, 2014-January 4, 2015.

A conjurer of collective memory and perceptual surprise, Gordon's tools include commodities and mechanisms of everyday life. Into a diverse body of work-which spans video and film, sound, photographic objects, and texts-he infuses a combination of humor and trepidation to recalibrate reactions to the familiar. Key examples include 24 hour Psycho (1993), in which he slowed down Alfred Hitchcock's legendary film into a full day's duration, attenuating the horror until any sensation of suspence ceased to exist; and the feature film Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait (2006, with Phillipe Parreno) in which multiple cameras tracked every action and emotion of the French soccer star during a decisive game.

In Phantom (2011), Gordon collaborating with singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright, examines grief and longing in a sonic and visual requiem. Expanding upon his use of portraiture as a tool for investigating the human condition, Gordon employs slow-motion film produced with a high speed Phantom camera. The film focuses on Wainright's eye-blackened with make-up, weeping, and glaring back at the viewer, echoing melodramatic performances by stars of the silent screen. On stage in front of the screen, a baby grand piano stands over another piano that has been burnt to ashes-a recurring symbol for Gordon that here might allude to the cyclical nature of life. Meanwhile Wainright's voice, accompanied by resigned piano chords, permeates the space during the daytime, while in the evening his silent gaze looks out plaintively a passersby on Park Avenue. The death of Wainwright's mother inspired the 2010 album All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu, the soundtrack for this installation, and its opening track,"Who Are You New York?," is a direct engagement with visitors and their surroundings. Gordon foregoes any specific narrative for poignant emotional triggers that sharpen over the passing minutes, transforming the gallery into an afflictive mise-scène that resonates differently with the experiences of each viewer.

Douglas Gordon is the recipient of the 1996 Turner Prize, the 1997 Venice Biennale's Premio 2000 award, the 1998 Hugo Boss Prize awarded by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the 2008 Roswitha Haftmann prize, and the 2012 Käthe Kollwitz Prize. The film Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait premiered at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival before screenings at numerous international venues. k.364 premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2010,
