Burling Research: Max Style
Interesting Process:
Jonathan Monk
Deflated Sculpture #1, 2009
Stainless steal and maple wood pedestal
76x59x41"
Monk took the idea of Jeff Koon's Rabbit and simply gave the rabbit a deflated balloon look. The gloss and slumping appearance of the stainless steel gives the impression of a shiny balloon, yet Monk has made the once upright bunny now deeply wrinkled while still appearing highly polished.
Interesting Material:
Urs Fischer
AM & PM, 2001
wood, clay, polyurethane, resin, pigment, bread, glue and mold
11 1/4x 12 x 12 3/4"
Fischer gives the shape of a head by dripping his materials over the figure, as opposed to shaping them on.

Interesting Material
Equivalent VIII, Claire Fontaine, 2007, 120 Firebricks and folded Epson durabrite prints, firebricks 179 x 110 x 63 mm; overall: 1100 x 1074 x 126 mm
The interaction of the artwork and texts created by the layout of the reproduced covers of political literature is highlighted by the brick material they are folded around. This brick material "references the bricks thrown by the 1968 Paris protestors".
Material as content
Mona Hatoum's Paravent (2008) is a reproduction of cheese graters that have been positioned in the shape of a changing curtain. The industrial material and the fact that the work is full of holes with cutting edges evokes intrusion and invasiveness rather than modest concealment.

Josh Smith, 2007. Encyclopaedia. Mixed media, 28 handmade books. 10x24x6".
Rather than using published books, Smith made the books used in the piece by hand by binding layers of paper together with string before setting them in a bookshelf and painting over the spines.
Interesting Process
Amateur Furniture
Artist: Jerszy Seymour
Date: 2009
Medium: Hand Moldable Wax, Everyday Materials
This piece reflects the process Jerszy initially underwent as he began to explore the industrial techniques demonstrated in many of his more recent works such as "Living Systems" (2007). Art Papers describes this initial process in which he fabricated all the basic objects he needed in the seclusion of an empty room. Using a "chromaticaly high-keyed plastic made from potatoes, acohol and milk in addition to sand and clays casts" Jerszy's process "revived industrial techniques and initiated an individual economy independent of both the substantial capital investment and the expected profits that bookend object production in the design economy".

Sigmar Polke, 1976. Can you always believe your eyes?
Using lacquer, acrylic, zinc sulfate, and cadmium oxide, as well as tobacco, paper, and canvas, Polke's piece uses a collage-like layering of materials to show the shifting nature of reality and how the confluence of events create illusions.

Title: Picture Postcard Posted from Postbox Pictured
Date: 2005
Location: Edinburgh
Postcard Size: 6 x 4''
Jonathan Monk had a set of instructions for this project: A person must photograph a postbox and email the photograhs of the selected postbox to him. When Monk receives the photograph, he crops it and returns it to the sender through email. The producer then has the picture printed on a postcord with the text, "Picture Post Card Posted from Post Box Pictured, Jonathan Monk."
Interesting Material
Monika Grzymala, "Distortions", 2008.
The artist used 7.5 kilometers of adhesive tape to create this art work.
An Interesting Example of Material Use
Kim Cogan, 2009, 36 x 32, 36 x 42.
Cogan uses unwashed, clogged brushes to help avoid undue detail, lending a look that avoides being photorealistic. He paints with oil.
Interesting Process
James Castle, "Photoalbum", (10 1/4 x 81/2 in.)
The artist used soot and spit on flattened envelopes to create his own photo-albums.

INTERESTING MATERIAL
.jpg)
Artist: Jerszy Seymour
Material: SCUM (technically: polyurethane foam + other anonymous substances?)
Title of Installation: Living Systems
Date: 2007 in the Vitra Design Museum in Germany
Description: Seymour's self-created material, which he refers to as "scum", is a highly ambiguous substance composed mostly of polyurethane foam, plus other slimy, unknown liquid-like materials. Seymour uses the scum as a way of challenging conventional materials of design, such as wood or plastic. The ambiguity of the material combined with the name "scum", add to the humor element of his work. In "Living Systems" Seymour covers chairs and a table with brightly colored pink, yellow, orange, and white scum, which when poured over chairs and tables resembles a huge pile of chewed bubble gum.

Trevor Paglen, 2006, 30 x 36 inches, photograph.
This piece is entitled "Control Tower". It was shot in Cactus Flat, NV at 11:55 a.m. at a distance of 20 miles. The reason for this extremely long distance is that this is a classified military site--Paglen's main source of images/inspiration for his artwork. The photograph was taken using "limit telephotography which combines telephoto lenses and equipment designed for outer space photography. Paglen is interested not in landscapes, but in the uses and abuses of land as produced by human beings through social and economic relations.
Interesting Process
Artist: Leon Ferrari
Title of piece: "Cuadro Escrito" or "Written Painting"
Date: Dec 17, 1964
Size: 26 x 19 in.
Medium: Ink on paper
Description: Ferrari composed this piece as a way of describing a painting that he could not create, because "god had not touched him with the genius to do it." The piece contains Ferrari's delirious thoughts about this said painting, written in loopy cursive letters with ink on paper.
