From the Curators' Statement:
From the Curators' Statement:
In looking through The Archive Project at Visual AIDS, we were seduced by works that blurred the line between the decorative, functional, craft, and the so-called fine arts...
All of the works in this portfolio speak to our own curiosity, an interest in the work of artists previously unknown to us. These works look to the decorative or functional while retaining the intellectual rigor required to elevate works from decorative or craft to fine art. (read more)
About the Curators:
Originally from Memphis, Tenn., Glynnis McDaris is an NYC-based artist, photographer, filmmaker and curator. Her artistic practice is multidisciplinary, comprised predominately of photography, video, film and sound. McDaris has exhibited widely in solo and group shows in the U.S. and abroad, and has been published in numerous publications. On March 1, 2012, In Time and with Water, will open at Blackston Gallery, NYC. She will also show new work in the exhibition Till Dust Gathers on Grass, curated by Amanda Schmitt, opening March 6, 2012, at The Old School, NYC.
Julia Trotta has worked for a number of artists and galleries, eventually opening her own experimental gallery space, Fake Estate, in 2007. The programming at Fake Estate earned a great deal of critical success, with reviews in The New York Times, ArtForum and Art in America. Trotta closed the space in 2009 and has continued to curate exhibitions and produce work with artists, both in New York and Paris.
McDaris and Trotta are currently in production on a feature-length documentary about art historian Linda Nochlin. The film is scheduled to wrap production in mid-2012.
