The Wizard of Oz, 2020
Lego bricks on plexiglas
80 x 210 in. (203.2 x 533.4 cm)

“A few years ago in New York, I saw Nam June Paik’s 1974 monumental piece, ‘Electronic- Superhighway : Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii.’ A neon map of the USA embedded with TV-monitors playing clips from different sources representing the cultural identity of each state. For Kansas, the center of the map and of this piece itself, Paik created a montage of ‘The Wizard of Oz.’ Through this work, Paik illustrated a diverse nation using media technology that would become increasingly prevalent in our society. I was inspired by Paik’s anticipation of a future where communication networks act as a bridge between different people and cultures. The colors in my piece reference the visual vocabulary of the movie: yellow brick road, ruby red shoes, Emerald City, poppy field, etc. By using Braille, I create an opportunity for the work to be experienced not only visually, but also by reading it tactilely.”

Call Me by Your Name, 2019
Lego bricks on plexiglas
120 x 100 in. (304.8 x 254 cm)

“This piece was created as a part of WorldPride/Stonewall 50 in 2019 and was displayed as public art in the Lower East Side. Since this festival was a celebration of LGBTQIA communities, I chose to use the LGBTQIA movie ‘Call Me By Your Name’ to create a mural work. I translated this movie script into English Braille and constructed the translation visually with Lego bricks. The movie script is edited to fit in the site - specific space, but I retained the storyline's flow. I wanted to bring awareness to a language that is often overlooked by people who are not visually impaired. Using Braille to write out the script connects multiple communities in one public place, making it a more intersectional piece. Viewers may be drawn to the colors of the work and the novelty of toys, but what they really find in the code are lives that have historically been hidden. Bricks connect these experiences visually and literally.”

얌마 니 꿈은 뭐니 / Yamma Ni Ggumeun Mwoni / Hey, What’s your dream 2020
Lego bricks on wood
20 x 20 in. (50.8 x 50.8 cm)

“BTS’s song lyrics from ‘No More Dream’ written in Korean Braille number codes. I see a connection between Nam June Paik’s art and BTS’ music. Nam June Paik believed that digital media and communication networks would connect people and culture. BTS actually executed Paik’s vision playing a role as digital natives. I wrote BTS’ lyrics into Braille and converted this to number codes, which resemble binary codes underlying common communication tools.”

I Should Love Myself 2020
Acrylic on wood
16 x 24 in. (40.64 x 60.96 cm)

“Excerpted a line from popular BTS’s song, converted to Braille system in English and then translated to designated colors and painted. “BTS’ ‘Love Myself’ written in Braille patterns. I used Braille as an art medium when I first came to the US in 1991. Experiencing a new culture and using a different language made me realize how frustrating it can be to live and communicate in a new place. I felt like I was trapped in a dark room, unable to see or feel. I wondered if blind people feel this frustration as well, being closed off from many aspects of society.“

Naomi Savage, photographer, born June 25, 1927 and died at her home in Princeton, New Jersey, on November 22, 2005.  While still in high school, she took a class in photography at the New School for Social Research with Berenice Abbott.  Some twenty years earlier, Abbott had studied photography in Paris with Man Ray, who was Naomi Savage’s uncle.  In 1946, Savage enrolled in Bennington College, where she studied art and music, but before graduating, left to be an apprentice for Man Ray in Hollywood.  He taught her that photography was above all a creative process, one of many tools that could be used for the purpose of visual expression.  When she returned to New York in 1948, she combined her love of music with her skill in photography by taking portraits of the best known composers of day:  Aaron Copland, John Cage, Virgil Thomson, etc. (over 30 in all).  Throughout her career, she experimented with the medium of photography, continuously inventing new and highly original techniques.  Perhaps her best known work is a series of metal photo engravings (1972) dominating the walls of the LBJ Library in Austin, Texas.  In her later years, she became attracted to the enormous potential of digital imagery, experimenting with various methods to manipulate and enhance color, even using new and unconventional materials for laser printing.  She exhibited widely, most recently at the Montclair Art Museum, and her photographs are included in major institutional collections throughout the United States……………..provided by Francis M. Naumann.

 

Francis M. Naumann is an art historian, who specializes in art of the Dada and Surrealist period.  He has written extensively on the art of Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray.  His New York Dada 1915-23 (1994) is considered the definitive history of the movement, and his “Making Mischief: Dada Invades New York” (1996) is the most comprehensive exhibition on the subject ever assembled.  His doctoral dissertation was on Man Ray’s early years in New York, later published as Conversion to Modernism: The Early Work of Man Ray (2003).  Throughout his years of his research on Man Ray, he met Naomi Savage and, over the years, they became good friends.

Painter, sculptor, photographer, filmmaker, draftsman…Man Ray has never limited himself to a single medium of artistic expression, tirelessly seeking new possibilities of creation or diversion of existing techniques.  Considering art essentially as a game, he refused to attach himself to a determined style.  Man Ray was born in 1980 in Philadelphia.  In 1913, he discovered at the exhibition The Armory Show in New York European artists like Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia.  With Marcel Duchamp he created and experimented with optical devices to study motion.  He participated in the Dada movement in New york until 1921, when he left for France.  As he arrived in Paris, Marcel Duchamp introduced him to the Parisian artistic scene.  It was the beginning of an intense period of creation: photographs (fashion, portraits, art), exhibitions, films…In the interwar period Paris, Man Ray frequents all the greatest actors of creation, Dadaists, Surrealists, writers, filmmakers, fashion designers…In 1940, Man Ray had to leave France for the United States, where he realized major works like the Shakespearian paintings, etc.  Man Ray returned to Paris in 1951, moved to rue Ferou where he painted, drew, wrote his memoirs and continued to use photographic processes.  Thus begins the edition of his objects “Objects of my affection” first with Marcel Zerbib, then with Arturo Schwarz.  Man Ray died on November 18, 1976 in Paris.  He is buried in the Montparnasse cemetery.   

………………………………………….   excerpt from Man Ray International Association

 

 

Mathematical Object (Anthony) is one of some twenty photographs taken by Man Ray in 1934-35 of mathematical models located in the Institut Poincaré in Paris.  Twelve of the photographs were featured in a 1936 issue of the journal Cahiers d’Art devoted to the “object” and four were exhibited in MoMA’s exhibition the same year, Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism.  The models were drawn to his attention by Max Ernst, who had discovered them and thought them exceptionally provocative, surreal shapes.  The models were used to render complex mathematical formulae into three-dimensional form, but it was not their origin in mathematics that attracted the interests of Man Ray.  “The formulas accompanying them meant nothing to me,” he later explained, “the forms themselves were as varied and authentic as any in nature” (Self-Portrait, 1963, p. 368).  While living in Hollywood, California, in the 1940s, Man Ray used the photographs he had taken in the Institut Poincaré as the basis of a series of pictures that he grouped under the title “The Shakespearean Equations,” which, in true Dada and Surrealist fashion, had as little to do with Shakespeare as they did with equations.  Man Ray retrieved the photographs he had printed in the 1930s on a trip back to Paris in 1947, and this example is believed to be among them.  This particular print is often titled Antony, as we know that it was used as the basis for the figure of Anthony in his painting Antony and Cleopatra, 1948.
