What Inspires Newfangled, Part 2
January 9, 2008 at 9:00 am by Chris| This post (and the previous one) don't quite fit in with my 'web strategy and technology' focus, but here's another one anyway. My wife and I recently saw the States of Mind exhibition of artists Dan and Lia Perjovschi at the Nasher Museum of Art and really enjoyed it. Dan and Lia are Romanian artists who lived through a very tumultuous time in communist Romania and continued to make art despite much opposition. My favorite piece in the show was a multi-panel timeline created by Lia Perjovschi that starts with the Big Bang and ends with Google enabling censorship in China (see below).  I've been interested in visual timelines for a while, and when I saw this my interest was awoken again. Below is my 'consolidated' version:  Dan was also a visiting artist at the MoMA. You can view two short videos of him creating a drawing installation below: |

January 10, 2008 6:45 PM Hi Julia! Actually, I think the show may have just ended, but you can check out the Nasher's exhibition schedule at www.nasher.duke.edu. Timelines are definitely a lost art! |
