GET LOST, Artists Map Downtown New York

GET LOST is a collective portrait of downtown New York. Twenty-one international artists were invited to create a personal view of the city and draw a map of downtown New York, uncovering a territory that is both real and imaginary.

GET LOST brings together fictional landscapes, utopian visions, private memories, and obsessive instructions to explore Manhattan, its past, present, and future.

An exercise in emotional geography, GET LOST sketches the coordinates for an endless drift across the streets and myths of downtown New York.

GET LOST is the city as seen through the eyes of: 16beaver group; Francis Alÿs; Cory Arcangel; Jennifer Bornstein; Beth Campbell; Marcel Dzama; Isa Genzken; Inaba and Associates; Dorothy Iannone; Chris Johanson; Christopher Knowles; Terence Koh; Julie Mehretu; Jonas Mekas; Aleksandra Mir; Thurston Moore; Dave Muller; William Pope.L; Lordy Rodriguez; Rirkrit Tiravanija; Lawrence Weiner.

GET LOST is a New Museum production, edited by Massimiliano Gioni.

border languages Portugues and Magyarország (colaborative work: Adriano / Sarah / Ship)

The work “border languages Portuguese and Magyarország” is a collaborative production between Brazilian and Hungarian.
This work talk about the similarities between the Portuguese and Hungarian, produced in a brainstorm about the both alphabet and how the both culture is similar and different at the same time.
When we realize that the first difficulties in a multicultural relationships is the language (most of the time speak in English) the grammar and the assent look similar and correspond to an unexpected platform for generate knowledge and cultural changes.
The piece is part of the MA project “Immigration and Identity: Social Environment in Contemporary Art.”, a research about different cultures and languages in London.

Ecuador Block 16'

Last Tuesday, 9 October, I saw an exhibition with David Medalla (a great Filipino artist and art activist).
We went to a gallery in the central London at a very posh hotel.
The exhibition is about an Indian tribe and the oil contamination at Ecuador, created by the Mexican artist "Gabriel Orozco"
I think this kind of "political art works" or "engaged art" is the new tendency in the art circuit.
now, a little text and pictures about the exhibition; and ahead, some Gabriel Orozco works



The show entitled 'Ecuador Block 16' is an exhibition of creative work that has emerged from the Adventure Ecology mission to Ecuador earlier this year.

The intrepid AE team were brought back together in London for the event: David de Rothschild, founder of Adventure Ecology; Gabriel Orozco, Artist; Dustin Lynn, film maker; Oliver Chanarin + Adam Broomberg, photographers; Maria Fadiman, Ethnobotanist and their jungle guide Zoe Tryon, were all on hand to talk about their work and their adventure together; raising awareness of oil pollution in the Amazon rainforest. You can see several of Adam + Olly's incredible photographs over the fold.
These photos are exhibited on an enormous scale and create a big impact in the gallery space making you really feel the rich textures and colours of the Amazon. These contrast beautifully with the small delicate sketches made by Gabriel Orozco with seeds, fruit and oil from the rainforest. All 60 sketches are displayed on a plinth in the middle of the room and weighted down with shards of Achuar pottery. These pieces had been placed on the sketches while he was working in the field to stop them blowing away in the wind and consequently became part of the art work.

Dustin Lynn's 16mm short film at the other end of the gallery catches yet more extraordinary imagery from the expedition. The film gives a wonderful overview of the team's experiences in Ecuador and shows how all the members of the team worked together within their various creative mediums. The quality of light that Dustin captures on film, somewhat his trademark, is what makes this an exceptionally beautiful piece of film.
