Me and my friends setup the university’s studio and each of us took turn to take photographs, each of us had a role to take for example: photographer, director, assistance ...ect. 

I framed my model Dafnne and I wanted to capture of frozen motion, by using fast shutter speed.

here’s my theory

edweard muybridge

was actually a horse

and he made a deal with the other horses that if

that if

when he took that picture of one of them w/ all their feet in the air

that he would give that horse all his horse money

but he never did

and he still gained world wide film fame from it

he was never a horse again

His works is beautiful.

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features Ori Gersht, an Israeli-born artist who has spent the last fifteen years exploring the territory in which violence and beauty overlap, often with a special focus on how a landscape can bear witness. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston has just opened a mid-career survey of his work titled, “Ori Gersht: History Repeating.” On view through Jan. 6, the show was curated by Al Miner.

In the second segment, I’ll inaugurate what will be become a regular feature on the program over the next year or so: Jackson Pollock’s landmark 1943 Mural is in the collection of the University of Iowa Museum of Art, but for the rest of this year and next it will be at the Getty for conservation treatment. “Mural” is one of the most important paintings of the 20th century. As long as Mural is at the Getty, I’ll be checking in with the conservators working on it to hear about what they’re doing with it and what they’re learning about it. My first guest in that series will be Yvonne Szafran, the conservator of paintings at the J. Paul Getty Museum.

Michael Wesely

The recent work of photographer Michael Wesely (Munich, 1963) proposes an interesting way for travelling across the liquid nature of time in photography. In his hands, the time contained in a single picture is dilated to the extent of becoming a matter of days, months and even years.

Over the last two decades, Michael Wesely has been developing a long exposure technique, whose details are still kept in secret, that allowed him to make images up to 3 years of exposure time - Wesely claims indeed that he could do exposures almost indefinitely, up to 40 years -. Presumably he´s using a large format camera of 4x5, extended for allowing the use of a pinhole-like lens which might be suited with ND filters for reducing dramatically the final amount of light exposed to the negative. However, the real gear remains elusive and we can only speak certainly about its results. What follows below is a set of photographs that document the re-construction of the

Museum of Modern Art of New York

, from its demolition in 2001 until its complete re-building in 2004. Wesely used 8 cameras positioned in four different corners around the construction site, and he left the shutter open for up to 34 months.
