Sky Hopinka
 |
| This is a certain body 2019 Inkjet print, etching 13h x 13w in |
Sky has made a huge impact on a little corner of the artworld over the last decade. The work is strongly content driven and considerably more poetic than narrative. Although working primarily in video his work meanders into whatever territory it needs to medium wise, with projects often combining many forms as listed in the Series of Work section of the artist's web site;
Also from the website is this bio;
Sky Hopinka (Ho-Chunk Nation/Pechanga Band of LuiseƱo Indians) was born and raised in Ferndale, Washington and spent a number of years in Palm Springs and Riverside, California, Portland, Oregon, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In Portland he studied and taught chinuk wawa, a language indigenous to the Lower Columbia River Basin. His video, photo, and text work centers around personal positions of Indigenous homeland and landscape, designs of language as containers of culture expressed through personal, documentary, and non fiction forms of media.
Unlike most of us Sky can really do well as an interview subject;

Garageband How-To
So Charles Cleyn, a popular Logic Pro tutorialist, has put out a large number of Garageband tutorials in the last year that are really well done!
https://www.youtube.com/@CharlesCleyn/videos
This would be a good one on the basics;
If you want to try out the midi controllers in the lab this will get you going;
The only thing that may be lacking in Charles's offerings is a quick video dedicated to pro-level mastering in Garageband. This one by Colin Cross would get my recommendation;

Some Stuff on Instagram...so far.

Maybe we can assume these are folks who buy slides on ebay? They all have great eyes and many of these generally anonymous photographs are gorgeous.

Here's mid-century modern renaissance man Charles Phoenix, often pictured with his mom. On any given day he may be promoting one of his retro slide show events or selling a $39,000 1959 DeSoto. Found out about him 25 years ago while working on an aluminum Xmas tree project. One of the liveliest sites on Instagram!

Photographers;
There's a certain format that combines the historic with the diaristic that many long career photographers adopt. Sometimes we all feel like we have too many pics that nobody has seen.

The Insecurity of Photographic Truth
"All photographs are accurate, none of them are truth"
- Richard Avedon 1984
Spirit photography: Beginning around the time of the Civil War, photographers such as William Mumler and E. Buguet created images revealing supposed paranormal activity. As a sitter has their portrait taken, long dead relatives can be seen floating behind them, objects levitate, and mysterious forms appear without physical explanation. Spiritualism proposed that the spirits of the dead could co-exist and communicate with the living. The photographers who participated played on the emotions of those mourning the dead. These images document a time when the objective truth of a photograph was not questioned.

A “Photographic Shiva” for a Life Partner Lost to COVID
After
the writer and curator Maurice Berger died, in the early days of the
pandemic, his husband, Marvin Heiferman started sharing his grief through images.
... Heiferman posted a picture to Instagram of an American
flag twisted tortuously around a pole affixed to a wet, leafless tree.
“I looked at it, and I thought, That’s fucked up, and that’s how I
feel,” Heiferman said recently. “I realized that there were no words
that expressed what I was feeling. But I saw this thing that did.”

Artist Cindy Sherman is most well known for her Untitled Film Stills, an analog photography series from the 1980s in which Sherman herself uses elaborate make-up and costume to act out iconic female personas from film, television, and consumer culture of the mid–late 20th century.

Artist Amalia Ulman, in response to the idea that social media is a way to sell one’s personal “brand”, staged a five month scripted performance inspired by “total makeover” culture. Her Instagram feed, evoking a consumerist fantasy lifestyle, was excessive yet believably familiar. Ulman went to great lengths to replicate the narrative conventions of similar lifestyle feeds. The idea was conceived of as a “boycott” of her own online persona. The project was meant to highlight a disconnect between our online personas and ourselves, to critique the ’exposure at any cost-culture’ encouraged by social media, while also implicating herself within that culture. Ulman admitted that while much of the new identity she created for “Excellences and Perfections” was fabricated, there was an element of truth to her personality revealed as a result.
