Some images of johns new cyanotype series from a forthcoming show... pretty amazing stuff if you ask me and nice to see another of example of johns work other than the crease prints. Cyanotypes are basically blue prints, but also the oldest form of photography. John likes the idea of using the antiquated technique with the latest digital 3D systems. The prints will feature images of cathedrals featured in Tour de France footage that are drawn in both god's eye perspective and axonometric views over top each other. The gods eye perspective taken from video footage undercuts the drama of the architecture (cathedrals were never meant to be seen in such a way) and the axonometric view relates to the contemporary service of the blueprint. The axonometric models of the particular structures are found freely on the internet using Google 3D warehouse and add another conceptual layer to the project. The images are made into transparencies and then printed by hand. The project is an extension of the artist's interest in mediation and strategies of process that employ technology and the hand.    |

The 60x40 is incredible in person. The museum glass lets you access the texture and detail of the print.

the installation shots look solid. as a supporter of his work, I just wish he would tone things down a bit and stop showing all over the place. I think he has his work in like 3 different galleries as we speak |

4.2K for uniques and 9K for 60/40"s
I think the Cyanotypes were in the 2K range
Have to agree with you on your point too rizza. I was also hearing conflicting stories from certain galleries as to who is repping him moving forward. I think John should take a firm grip on things from here and manage his out put as i think he may have got a little excited with the overwhelming response to the crease prints.

The prices as they currently stand are way too high given where he is in his young career and they've gone up far too quickly in my opinion.

dangerous ground they are walking on. Could easily find themselves with no secondary and a lot of burned patrons at primary.
Something to be said for slow and steady.

Such a shame that Houck is shown along side the rest of this hodge podge but props to him for evolving the process and continuing to churn out some more strong mid-sized aggregates.

I must be confused by this type of art because it looks identical to Auerbach to me. Maybe I'm like the guy that can't see the hidden sailboat in the 3-D painting.

Mallrats is an under rated piece of American art!

Mallrats is an under rated piece of American art! Sentimental attachment. A lot of the outside scenes in that movie were shot around where I grew up. I still remember going every other Sunday to the Route 1 Flea Market, which served as the exterior when they went to visit the fortune teller. It's now, and has been for about 16 years, A movie theater. Fun fact, if you go around to the back of the theater, there is a grave site in the parking lot. Quite random, but then again, New Jersey is definitely a weird place. |

No love for DBS anymore? Seems like rather harsh critique for one of the good guys out there supporting young art.

I grew up going to the flea market at Aqueduct Racetrack. No graveyards in the back unless they snuck in a couple of jockeys and a few horses.
