Francesca Woodman in Milan 2010

A big photos retrospective is installed on Palazzo della Ragione in Milan (Italy) from 16th July to 24th October 2010.
The exposition presents 116 photos with 15 exclusive images only for this event and 5 videos which show the entire carreer of an artist dead suicide at 22 years old.
In a lot of photo she portrays herself because ” it’s for a convenience factor.  I am always available” she said, but her body is often absorbed by the plaster of the walls.  She plays with its own shadow and hides among furniture and objects.
Francesca Woodman amazed the artistic community thanks to the maturity and conceptual coherence of the works.

Joel Peter Witkin at Pac in Milan

Visit Witkin at Pac in Milan until 27th April 2008.

Witkin is born in Brooklin in 1939.
When he was only 6 years old, he saw a child’s head roll to his feet. This is a dramatic but lucid account and almost inspired. This experience taught him that with photography in some way he should have shown the death of another person.
His photographic career is dedicated to the meticoulous search for perfect images which are never simple photos, but actualsets, collages of elements aimed at constructing a meaning, which each time in the artist’s own feeling.

Google Earth and Art

Creative Collective Artists of the Australian “The Glue Society” have realized four images, scenes from the book “The Bible” with a Google Earth view.
These four scenes are exhibited into Miami Art Fair.

Noah’s Ark

Moses Parting The Red Sea
 

The Crucifixion

The Garden of Eden
About the project, The Glue Society says:
“We like to disorientate audiences a little with all our work. And with this piece we felt technology now allows events which may or may not have happened to be visualized and made to appear dramatically real. As a method of representation, satellite photography is so trusted, it has been interesting to mess with that trust.”
