The Ballad of Accounting



Did you kiss the foot that kicked you?

I've been sitting on this for a while, but it's too awesome to not point out. Basically, some days I just worry that I'm going to become a mirror of VVORK, just because the shit up there is so good.

Anyway, you need to check out The Ballad of Accounting. Specifically, the project called "Did you kiss the foot that kicked you?"

Hundreds of Buskers in london played the same song. How do you think that would make you feel, walking to your nine-to-five?




I found Thomas Mailaender through VVORK as well, though this series wasn't the one featured. I'm really intrigued by it - it's called Sponsoring - because I really can't tell if these are actual snapshots of him with corporate sponsors, or if he simply found people to pose with prints of giant checks. I'm also not sure which would be funnier.

Oh, and here's a picture I took of a bathroom:

Polyvore/Fashion Haus



Polyvore.com?

Many of you know that I'm not too interested in the commercial aspects of style, but am extremely intruiged in the social aspects. Now this is interesting. I found this through google, it seems this site polyvore lets you create outfits and sets of items from any image online. A couple people have grabbed this picture of beth from theoneswelove.org. Looks like people dig her style!

I'm willing to bet that the outfit put together through stores is about 400 times more expensive than the thrifted and found clothing that Beth always wears, but I have a feeling that is true for most fashion - influenced by people who give hardly a thought to what they wear and almost unfailably look original and beautiful, then mused on and reconfigured for the general public. Then those clothes go through time and several owners and end back up with the influential kids through thrift. Is that a logical theory? I just pulled it out of my ass, but it sounds right to me.

It's probably obvious between this and stumbleupon that I google my name periodically to find out how people are using my images around the web. I often find really interesting stuff, from people's personal myspace designs, blog posts about my work, or - the best - odd things like this that I never expected. Some photographers are upset to lose creative control over their images, but I love it. It isn't as if people haven't been making collages out of magazine covers and ads forever.

Speaking of fashion, guess what's finally up? SCAD Fashion Haus's new flickr! So if you want to see around a thousand photographs dating back to 2006 of the last three scad runway shows, that's the place to find them. It's tagged by photographer - though I only have my stuff up from the last couple years, So if anyone else who has shots wants to send them to me, I'll put them up.

Here are a couple of my snapshots that I think I haven't put up here.








So go check it out for super comprehensive runway coverage, plus, if you're one of the designers, if you click on "all sizes" and view the original size, it should be big enough to make an alright quality print for your portfolio. And if you aren't a designer but want to steal my images for other personal uses (read: non-profit) feel free as well.

New House/Shows





Two pictures of deck chairs at my mother's house. I like them, and the pads, better deconstructed.

Beth, Sarah, and I found a place today! The house we found was very affordable and literally a fucking mansion. I'm not even kidding, it's got huge white pillars out front and a back yard big enough hundreds of people. This is right in the middle of savannah, one block off the bike lane and 6 blocks from Kroger.

It's got two bathrooms, three huge bedrooms, a living room, storage areas, kitchen, back and front porch, and my favorite feature: A giant hallway. The hallway is excessively wide, and has huge ceilings and wonderful white walls. I bet you know what I thought as soon as I saw it:

Finally, we have a gallery.

It's 100% perfect for house shows. It goes right from the front door - framed nicely by two pillars on the stone porch - to the kitchen, with space enough to hang quite a big show. Streamlined viewing and straight to the refreshments. It's perfect. So we're on the lookout for local people interested in doing house shows starting in May.

I'll probably get people to play in the backyard eventually, though that will have to be earlier than desoto shows so as to be nice to then neighbors. I'll have pictures of the space asap, and I'm starting to look for people for a group show to start it off with a kick. It's not a swanky venue, but the viewing and light is perfect. It's the kind of place you go with some friends to have a beer and look at some art. These will be dirty do it yourself shows, no commission, no fees, just if you've got good work, we'd love to have it up and organize an opening. The kind of shows I miss from noho and new york, and I hear are getting super popular in chicago.

Email me if you're interested.

Major Website Update



ianaleksanderadams.com

Big update. Hopefully, though, you can't even tell.

What's changed? Well, the navigation bar is now encoded on every page. That's right, no frames.

Why? Well, frames did make it really easy for me to update content, but after getting 34,000 (??!!) hits to my details series in one day from stumbleupon, I realized those people had absolutely no navigation available. So that had to change.

Thanks to Monique and the people at the webdesign community at livejournal I was able to pick up or rework enough css to get the bar to stay put while scrolling. Sweet shit.

I also made a few little tweaks, like the addition of a 404 page. Which means I can go http://www.ianaleksanderadams.com/yourfacesucksandyourmomisugly.html and it will work. Sort of.

I also cleaned up the files hosted on there. Which means many images and links around the internet will now no longer work, dating back to 2003. Sorry. Things were just getting insane. I've got a much more logical system in place, and I'll be doing my best to fix things as I find them.

I'm going to go through the livejournal tonight, the blogger version tomorrow, and myspace the day after that and fix or redesign everything. Then I'll fix other sites as people point them out or I notice them. Hope this doesn't screw up anyone who was using my image for decoration or layout. I really don't mind that, but it's probably a better idea not to hotlink.

Let me know if you see anything funky. love love.

Oh yeah, here's a picture of me running a fever of 104 degrees at my mom's house in massachusetts. Recognize it?


Saturday, April 26, 2008





Abe, again.

Oh man. There are serious dangers involved in going to gallery shows after forgetting to eat all day, or being so poor that you don't eat much. I only had a few free beers and got a lot more inebriated that I planned on. I forgot that my tolerance level would go way down since I've hardly been drinking at all this year. Luckily some kind people held on to my sweatshirt after I left it somewhere and helped me home on my bike. I love savannah people.

Art Art Art Fart Art Art



I'm almost done editing a series of three video installation pieces for my experimental film class. I got the idea while watching my roommate play monster rancher, of all things. It's nothing to do with this picture.

I've also been steadily updating my list of blogs I read, so you should check in with that periodically. I can't believe I've forgotten to add Baby Sinead [nsfw] to that list for so long, for example.

My friend Pear from my psych class sent me a link to this, an advertisement/interactive media creation by Nokia. It's a great example of well done advertising/corporate work pulling from the avant garde and underground subculture. It's directly linked to the stop motion that has become very popular on youtube and other video sharing types and anyone with a little connection to videogaming will recognize the classic Breakout and Snake designs.

Preview of New Works



god I love TEPR. I bounce to it while working all the time, though I really want to be doing this of course. The downside is that I can't stay serious while listening to it, I was working on something that was a sort of ironic statement about a variety of things, schadenfreude, myspace portraits, national pride.... and then ghetto bounce came on shuffle and it became this. Consider it a sneak peak, it won't stay in this format forever, if I even end up showing it again. I've been working on my computer for days straight, I just want to dance with my shirt off to muscles. (wow beth, andrew, I really didn't know muscles was this popular, no one here seems to know about him at all) .Some of you know my eclectic taste in music (I have hip hop months, sad guy with guitar months, and folktronica months), but this stuff tends to be feel good stay moving work work work music.

If you can make it through all that, I applaud you.





On to more serious matters. I'm serious. Art art art art fart art art.

This is a test of the online version of Permanent Stick-It-Out-Ed-Ness. It represents the Our Artist Trip side. I already posted one of the press releases from the SMC Global, Inc. side. You may be able to figure out that they represent a basic split in the artistic personality, the idea of making a living with your work (often thought of as selling out) and the idea of fully embracing your creative impulses (even if it results in you being judged negatively). I'll post a more detailed artist statement when it's all finished.

I've just started relearning flash (I used to play with it when I was 13) and it's going slowly, but in a good direction. Ideally, you will be able to control the motion of the room, be able to go to other galleries to see the rest of the images in the show, and there will be a loading animation. Right now, if you wait a bit it should show up and start streaming.

Feedback appreciated, as usual! Hope you guys are good. Daily content updates at whatisntart.net starting today. Hopefully I'll have some original content finished by the start of next week.

Oh and totally off topic, Baby Sinead posted this in her blog, and it's fucking hilarious. You're probably not the only one that thinks kink porn can be totally ridiculous, apparently it cracks all the actors up as well. I should not have to warn you that these porn bloopers are extremely un-worksafe.

What Isn't Art?



whatisntart.net


I'm constantly discussing the nature of art in classrooms, at lectures, in galleries, coffee shops, the internet and so on. In my own blog, the topic comes up fairly often. I've posted my own perspective, but I feel the debate ends up being too one sided in a personal blog. I often link people to various sources around the net, refer them to books, artists, documentaries. What I realized was I couldn't find one place that collected the opinions and content in an easily searchable and clean manner.

The domain name whatisntart.net was available, so I decided the easiest way of presenting the information was as a wordpress blog that people could discuss and submit content to, both original essays as well as found information, quotes and excerpts. As a starting point, I've supplied the blog with ten backdated posts from various sources, and a few people from varied backgrounds (from pornstar to art buyer) are working on original content to be posted soon.

So this is an open invitation to participate, share words you've found challenging or inspiring, or submit your own thoughts for consideration. Submissions will be moderated through email (details on the front page of the site), but discussion in comments is unrestricted. Some original content will be in interview format, but these people will generally be contacted directly.

Since this is a non-profit project, with no advertising, mainly intended for educational use and public debate, you will not be able to be paid for your words, but credit and a link (either to your website, or email, etc) will be supplied.

The design of the blog is currently a work in progress (though it will remain minimalist) and feedback is whole-heartedly appreciated. Feel free to repost this information in whole or in part.

Why The Hate?



Why are artists continuously shoveled such shit? Especially really good conceptual artists, and the ones willing to take risks. These are the people that I consider at the forefront, the cutting edge. They drive the entire field. It's not like conceptual art is a new thing, either. It's been an important part of the mix since at least 1917.

I think if I met a chemist and I didn't understand what he was talking about, yet he was receiving awards and tons of peer recognition, I would assume he was quite intelligent and I would try hard to understand his work.

However, if an artist is in the same position, doing some radical contemporary work and receiving a lot of praise from other artists, and the public doesn't understand, the first thing people say is "That's not art" or various other derogatory statements: Circle-Jerk, fucking no-talent can't paint artists, etc.

What made them such experts? Why are they so judgmental about things they aren't willing to examine? And why do people still cling to certain aesthetic assumptions about what art should be?

Sure some art is made for the public, some art is made to drive a clear message, but some art is the equivalent of research science, it's made because it needs to be made for us to move forward. In can be complex and/or it can be subtle. It's made for serious thought and consideration, it's made for people who are willing to approach a great work of art like they'd approach any other great social work... You don't glance at the cover of The Brothers Karamazov and call it a shitty book because you don't like guys with big beards.

Who Dies Like A Dog?



Oh, I know you know all about this shit and are so concerned you've been signing online petitions left and right.

To horribly paraphrase Jörg, Seriously, shut the fuck up about that dog (which you know only about through hearsay) and eat your cheeseburger, hypocrites.

As far as I'm concerned, and this is old news anyway, Vargas was extremely successful in exposing our faults as members of the 1st world society, we ignore just as many starving people every day as we do the dogs in his city, while passing around useless links and leaving self righteous angry comments to make ourselves feel better because we're protecting the poor little animals from the horrible artists.

The only thing the artist is guilty of is making us confront directly one small portion of the evils that we, every day through ignorance or direct action, allow to happen. It makes us feel horrible, but we redirect that rage on the messenger. I've seen hundreds of comments about how people want to physically harm him, and I'm not surprised. Not surprised at all.


Alternatively, if you don't want to shut up and eat a cheeseburger, and actually do care, these are organizations you may be interested in joining or supporting: The World Society For The Protection Of Animals and The Humane Society. I guarantee you this: Both do a lot more for the world every day than facebook groups.

Here's a shot from this winter. That's right, we're not even through the Rolleis from over break.

Noel over at We Can't Paint announced that he's working to expand his excellent photography blog into a magazine and gallery. I love the idea, and I'm super excited to see what comes of it. He's always had a great eye for finding new work. I'm not exactly sure if the magazine will be printed physically, but I really hope so.

I'd be just as interested in a I Heart Photograph magazine, actually, and would probably be one of the early subscribers. As much as I love blogs, there is definitely something wonderful about having a publication to archive, and later take off the shelf to show to your grandpa in the park.

On a totally unrelated note, but as an extremely interesting documentation, check out this time lapse video of a man stuck in an elevator for 41 hours. I'm not totally sold on the overtly sentimental music, which reminds me of something I just heard in my film class, but it's worth a watch. I wonder what it would be like with the ambient sounds speed up to match.

On The Abortion Art Project





I posted this as a comment to the Dimensions blog, but I figure it's worth discussing.

A quick sum up: Artist creates performance that includes press releases, news articles, etcand people (understandably) take it at face value. And then respond with even more hate and shortsighted attacks when it's revealed that it was creative fiction. People don't understand how much they are manipulated by the media they consume on a daily basis, and then when art POINTS OUT the manipulation phrases such as "masturbation" and "pretentious" are soon to follow (along with various other insults, and attacks on the artist's appearance, age, race, school, any other easy to notice feature).

As usual, most of the things being discussed have to do with how her details were wrong or how stupid art is, instead of the fact that almost universally the story about "Abortion Art" was spread around and posted almost verbatim, instead of being investigated so they could see that it was all an absurdist piece of fiction. Scam and Hoax are said often, with "art" usually being in quotations. What gives these media outlets the balls to judge art? Are they "news?"

I don't know Aliza personally, and have not even seen the work being discussed (it hasn't even gone up yet physically, though I feel press releases are just as much a creative and controlled act as actual paintings, videos, etc).



Re:AbortionPerfomanceArt


I am not going to address the direct visual content in the work as that will require another large amount of text, and my views on abortion are not very simple. I do not know whether this artist has had to go through a miscarriage or an abortion (it is quite possible) and will make no statement on whether it is a mockery, but in opening up discussion (even if it turns out 99% of it is negative towards her acts) she has succeeded in one of the primary goals of art.

It's almost unfortunate that the truth (or what I assume is the truth) wasn't delayed a little longer while the performance was digested. But I understand why she caved, it's a tremendous amount of pressure for an artist to be under. I've been involved with performance and installation art that required putting all my faults public and then acting like an asshole (well a stereotype of corporate greed/fear) for 6 hours during the opening.. and I'm not someone who thrives on controversy, just feel that it's important to challenge both the art world and the consuming public. It's quite possible that she isn't either...

Art is about opening a dialog and creating discussion. It's about not taking things at face value.

Even if everyone thinks she is pretentious, a bitch, etc, she's got people talking.

This is where the logical conclusion of performance art goes, onto the internet, onto documentation, onto press releases.

Abortion Art is something that I can see actually happening, and someone using that possibility as a sort of way of satirizing the art world AND the media at the same time is genius.

And about the people saying she's self centered... well, people are always kvetching about artists, saying they are self centered. It's true that to be an artist it requires a lot of self promotion. It's not enough to have something to say with your work, you have to convince people to listen. No one else will do it for you, you will not be discovered. But that doesn't make the message less meaningful. It's a complete ad hominem argument.

All art has an element of self. When dealing with bodily issues, what could be more poignant than using yourself? Chris Burden, Joseph Beuys, any performance artist. Any comedian, any actor. They are successful because they are using themselves and they HAVE to be ok with being in the public spotlight. It doesn’t mean that they are egotistical (though some can be, obviously.)

Would it be right to use OTHER people’s menstrual blood? Or should one explore their own relationship to the substance, to the idea of creation. I'm not a woman, so I feel like I'm not qualified to speak on a lot of aspects of the content of the work, but the idea of creating an elaborate illusion, an elaborate layered performance is something that I feel is absolutely needed in the contemporary art world. It's something that people from Terry Richardson to Duchamp have worked with, life as art, the artist as a layered, painted, recorded figure themselves.

It’s a lot more pretentious to pretend your work can change the world, to pretend that a picture you took is "about the environment" or similar themes than to make work that relates to your own personal struggle of self, your struggle as an artist, your struggle with art and with the world you're putting such personal expression into.

Wednesday, April 16, 2008



Man, I just pulled staples for something like 7 hours and I've got wicked blister on my hand. I'm not even going to go into how hungry I am. Oh well, crashing.

Wish I had something with more content for you. Instead you should check out Shoot! The Blog where Rachel has posted a couple great interviews in the past couple days. You might have to scroll down a bit, she's been busy.

Tuesday, April 15, 2008





Working super hard on the online version of the installation.. and tomorrow the physical version is going down. Without the performance aspect, it's not as poignant, so we figured a week was enough time for it to be up. I think the next show is an environmental fundraiser, so if you're in the area you should check that out.

I've transfered almost all of my old blog over to http://blog.ianaleksanderadams.com at this point, and from now on I'm considering that the main blog and LJ the mirror. What does this mean? Less huge image posts with LJ-Cuts, mainly. More linking to outside stuff. Besides that everything should be the same, I'll be responding to comments on both sites, and so on. Feel free to read it there, though, if you're not on lj. It looks a bit neater. I'll still be reading my friends list, of course.

APE's final cut for his promo. Click here to see a full screen version: ILikeThesePhotos

Permanent Stick-It-Out-Ed-Ness: Our Artist Trip went well.

I'll be working on getting some installation photographs and video soon, but it will be a bit longer for the final online version. Things went well, overall. At least 60 percent of people got it, I think, with some amazingly positive and amazingly negative responses. I believe that's a good mix though, it's hard to put all your faults public and then act like more of an asshole than you are normally (as a character) for a night, but as personal experimentation it went quite well. We were very uncomfortable with it, and it's something worth exploring. I don't think I should ever become comfortable or complacent in art, it has to have some kind of risk to it.

Wednesday, April 9, 2008



So here is what Epic Fail would look like as a single image/print. I mentioned this a few posts back, but this would be 53 by 42 feet large. There's a larger scrollable version at the website.

One thing I felt was really interesting was the way I felt while saving each thread. It reminded me of the same social documentary feel I get from taking images at an event or of a subject important to me. I wonder if screencapping is a photographic process. I don't think I'd become a screencap artist in general, but I want to play with this a bit more.

I feel like 4chan is today's avant garde underground. There's the unbridled creativity, the ability to be something different from wherever you came from, the reclamation of negative terms, love/hate relationship with public exposure, art, etc

Cara Phillips responded, along with a lot of other people to the recent NY Times article on Gallerinas. I'm not going to go into detail here, as you should really read her post and the discussion on it. It's generated a lot of talk about the place women photographers have in the industry, what place they should have, etc. One of the things to have come of it is the creation of small image women photographers can put on their website stating that they will support and help out other women in the industry (as it was noticed that often guys work on a buddy system, but women have yet to develop the same kind of supportive net. In theory at least) and a blog to feature contemporary women photographers. Check it out.

Speaking of Bloggers looking to revitalize the industry and feature a selection of creative work, Rob, A Photo Editor, picked out the selection from his free promotion experiment and is putting them up at http://www.ilikethesephotos.com. If that link isn't working yet, you should be able to view the images at the flickr pool. It's a pretty good cross section of contemporary working photographers as well as emerging talent. If your images are better than most of the images in there, it isn't because they're bad, it's because you're good. So you should be submitting to this kind of thing. Get off your butt! This means you half the people I know at SCAD.

And while I'm linking, I should mention Brad Troemel's little essay on Ryan McGinley. It's well worth a read. If you don't know who Brad is, check out his site (my favorite project is called Special, where he climbed up trees, shouted something good about himself, took a picture, then biked to walmart and bought himself a trophy. I may have mentioned it before. Too bad. I love it.)

Finally, I'm not totally sure if putting your name on an internet site is Standing Strong, but it can't hurt, so check out this Stand Strong Against Hate site. With worldwide antisemitism at around a 30% increase as of the last government report, with other forms of intolerance not lagging far behind, any initiative such as this is welcome by me. www.StandStrongAgainstHate.org

waaaaa doublecupgreentea send me over the eeeeedge.

Damn good chili this last night. I brought free bread ends from brighter day and we dipped. Work work work. Big post tomorrow.

Monday, April 7, 2008





arrrgh. I hate when I'm so tired that I set my alarm on my cell phone with the right time, but accidentally leave it off. This is the second time I've done that and slept through the first half of my 8am Psychology class. And I like that class, and my textbook hasn't come yet. At least he doesn't cover a huge amount in one day, so I should be able to catch up before the test, but still.... frustrating and my own damn fault.

Noel over at We Can't Paint posted a nice little rundown on some of my recent work today. Sweet. He managed to pin down the Professional Photography series better than I've been able to so far: "If the photo booth can be considered an inherent aspect of the tourist or carnival experience, the “Hollywood/Glamour” shot studios are without doubt the ultimate portraits of failed dreams and distorted ideals that characterize the suburban experience." I just hope he adds Beth's name to that soon, since it's a collaborative project, and she deserves the recognition.

I like the way a lot of these bloggers feature other work they find on the net. I think it's really cool, reminds me of getting critique from people in the hallways in art school. Would you guys like me to start featuring stuff I like? I guarantee it won't all be photography, and it probably wouldn't be every day (I already do try to share when I find something really awesome) but I can make more of an effort to share the stuff that inspires me, I think.

Anyway, Beth is coming down in a couple days and we'll be staying overnight in the gallery to set up our installation. Does anyone want to help me flyer on tuesday?

Sunday, April 6, 2008



If you really want a half-couch sized photograph of obviously super hot news Coley and aren't quite in the market yet for a Ryan McGinly print, you can cruise by the Sentient Bean during the last two weeks of April for the Bicycle Art Charity show. All proceeds go to the Savannah Bike Co-op.

Speaking of Ryan McGinley, I don't know what others think, but I really love the images and video that he's been making lately. It's odd to me that it requires such a budget and 4,000 film rolls shot, but if that's his way of working, so be it. I've heard that he has assistants shooting as well as him at the same time, yet he owns all the negatives? I'm not sure what to think of that either, and it seems like it might not be true. If it is, maybe it's just in that area where film and photography are similar. Certainly on a film set, the director doesn't do everything himself. I still enjoy doing almost everything myself or collaborating closely with one or two people.

In any case, that picture of Coley injured is one of my absolute favorite pictures of him ever, though I still never heard what happened to his leg.

A bunch of my photographs (including this one from winter break) are in the A Photograph Of New Jersey show that is opening tonight, I think, in south orange. Click here for more info. Just a reminder to the couple of you who live near there, in case you wanted to check it out. It sounds pretty cool, I wish I could go and grab a copy of that free exhibition book, too, it's got some great shots in it.

I've been up all night working on this crazy thing and I'm not even sure what I'm doing. It started out too big for photoshop to even handle so I had to make it in strips, and even then it's about 1/4 the size it could have been from the source material. The really crazy thing is I'm not even sure I'll like it, I just need to see how it looks before I make a decision.

Edit: I like it. It's insane though, if I compile it at full res and actually print it, it would be 327,680 square inches, that's 640x512 inches, 53 by 42 feet.

Friday, April 4, 2008



I've been wondering for a long time how to respond to the fact that (I feel) our entire culture is shaped by 4chan.org's /b/ board. I finally gave up and decided that I had to just print out as much of it as possible (on archival paper of course) and plaster every available surface of a gallery. I don't understand how people don't know how many of the things they see are influenced by that place.The installation will be presented anonymously on promotional materials and at the show, and will be called Epic Fail. I also made some 60x48 inch prints of the appropriated content. Here are a couple of them:





More information viewable on my site. I'm mainly acting as curator here, obviously. 4chan gets a solo show. Anon can put it on its resume if it wants.

Speaking of which, I re-did the resume section and it should work well on all browsers now. I also added a couple other items to my little art bar.

I just posted this for a laugh with my friends, though I am planning on actually doing it for the same reasons, but on further reflection, it was pretty much an open invitation. SERIOUSLY THIS IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT. yes, I heard you dick butt. The same people complaining are most often the people the last generation complained about as ruining 4chan. If you're that bored, rule 34 on this shit and find me some directly gallery related stuff.

Thursday, April 3, 2008



I feel like we've killed a rainforest for this show. At least nothing is for sale, so we can recycle it all, or reuse it. We're going for a very concept heavy, lo-fi aesthetic installation, and I hope it works out. The possibility of doing things in a more glossy manner was kicked around, but I think it will work better to exaggerate the themes this way. A week and a day!

I'm turning in the proposal and a few work examples for my third upcoming show today. The performance aspect is currently ongoing, and I feel it just hit a major success point just today. I can't tell you anything about it, though, or it would ruin it. Shame, you'd probably enjoy it.

I've got work in the upcoming Bike Art Charity Show at the Bean as well as the SCAD-Atlanta Scholarship Gala. Large work, matted and framed, with all proceeds going to good causes. You should check those out if you're nearby.
