| | | http://www.johnfekner.com/ I'm on a John Fekner kick thinking about his art, philosophies, and ideas. WALL BLOOD? what a cool way to describe decay and paint peeling! The image sticks with you. Gordon Matta Clark is one of my favorite artists from the 70's; if you're not familiar with his work, he cut an abandoned house in half as a sort of performance. https://www.wbur.o...-clark-anarchitect Does anyone know any other artists who dabbled in/ were involved in precursory urban exploration activities? PS. Wanna look at a wack music video? https://youtu.be/enN8285TEcc

| | | Not sure if this not catching on is a sign that I shouldn’t keep adding stuff here but I think these could be of interest. I stumbled across the photographer Francesca Woodman in a textbook and was stricken by the haunting look of her nudes and self portraits in derelict spaces. Even without reading about her life and suicide at 22, there’s something really eerie about them. If you like surrealism she has lots of interesting photos. I like the one with the tortoise. These are just two, with obvious elements of decay/abandonment in them, that seem to come up often: As a teen, it’s crazy to me that she was a teen for the majority of her short career. Her work is so bold too, and has had it’s influence on modern day photography. I tried to keep it pg with my example photos; there’s lots of her nude in the woods, a graveyard, the abandoned home, her studio and an abandoned factory. She even did a series of nudes with her and one of her school’s models. I cannot imagine asking one of my 40yo+ models to pose naked with me in an abandoned home, or just anyone at all, if I did I’d fully expect a restraining order. Something about the confusing mix of absurd circumstance, tragedy, ghostliness, confident sexuality and depression makes her photos hard to look away from. For me at least. Aesthetically, I think they are an interesting example of abandonment photography.

| This is one of my favorite - possibly my favorite - photographer(s). Her story is incredibly tragic, but her artistic skill is phenomenal and I always felt that she was ahead of her time. I love her style. I think you’re the first person I’ve come across that even knows who she is! Edit: I published a photo years ago titled; “Ode to Francesca,” or something similar to that. I’ll have to see if I can dig it up.

| | | Anselm Kiefer the German painter and sculptor. who addresses destruction, recycling and rebirth within his art. Anselm Kiefer: Remembering the Future https://vimeo.com/112053965 Thanks for the John Fekner link ... just read an interesting quote by him. "No matter what the individual discipline, it is to an artist’s advantage to be progressive and challenge oneself by taking risks and explore beyond familiar territory." I had the wonderful opportunity to see a big exhibition of Gordon Matta Clark's art and documentation in Montreal sometime in the 1980's and was completely floored by his creative energy and use of abandoned buildings to carve out sculptural spaces. He was definitely a big influence on my art practice at that time in my life.
