Windsor Gallery Visit

Chris Jordan
The Windsor Gallery has a large variety of work showing Chris Jordan’s two most recent series’. Chris Jordan was born in 1963 in San Francisco but currently resides in Seattle, most of his work displayed takes place in Seattle and the surrounding areas including Oregon an Vancouver. The two series’ shown are titled, Intolerable Beauty and Running the Numbers. They are both very different and the transition between the two show how Chris Jordan’s interests are changing. He is very aware of social relevancy and he is embarking on a new “green” lifestyle. His main objective is to show the general public about mass consumption. The pieces in Intolerable Beauty are a precursor to this. The Intolerable Beauty series are photographs depicting beauty in places that you would generally find it. His pieces are very large and very detailed up close, but from afar they look almost abstract and basic in form and value. Intolerable beauty consists of repetition; this repetition is what Jordan identified with and inspired him to do his series Running The Numbers. Running The Numbers is all about consumption represented by statistics in the US. He visually created large quantities of objects, representing a certain issue in the world, and repeats it digitally using a computer program. Along with all of his pieces, he has a short description of what your are viewing. For example, his Piece titled “Pain Killers” states, on a description beside, “Depicts 213,000 Vicodin pills, equal to the number of emergency visits yearly in the US related to misuse of abuse of prescription pain killers”. His Piece consists of a digital print of vicodin pills all separate in space and radiating from he center, getting larger as they move out. This Is to really show just how many there are, its very effective in showing the representation of how many people are really effected by this issue.

I made a google map based on Movies that have been filmed in Vancouver. I plotted all the different movies and where exactly they have been filmed in the Lower Mainland. I even included Movie Posters, and Actors.ENJOYhttp://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=104455167833612718693.0004471588c2b9952b6a8&z=9

Bringin’ Back the Wild West

For our most recent project in DIVA we had to create, print and install vinal cut prints. It was awesome, ive never felt so liberated My concept was pretty straight foreward, im from Langley so i have some country western roots and i wanted to express this… However when i installed my print i chose a speific location. it was outside of a first nations art exhibit. I feel like these contrasting images create an interesting dynamic regarding “cowboys and indians”. Im not sure how people are taking it but i meant it as a play on thoughts and not in a malicious way at all. ENJOY
