Picasso Steals From Movies Too!

So this looks interesting. I just received word that Pace Wildenstein has announced plans for a Picasso exhibition devoted to investigating the role of early film in the development of Cubism. Mind you, we can expect to see this in April 2007, so we’ll have to wait a while, but the projects seems like it could be really great. The exhibition promises to explore how the camera, the projector, and the mechanics affected cubism – the thesis here being that they became analogies to the guitar, the violin the easel and the figure. In addition, editing techniques such as multiple perspectives, fades and dissolves, etc will be shown as formal influences on cubism. Just thinking about this show makes me a little giddy. *Eek* My love affair with movies and art together is finally public.

Hey thanks for the read and link; Chris Crawford in “Understanding Interactivity” specifically argues against the overuse and abuse of the term interactive; Frieder Nake also looks at that problem. My article was about the early history of algorithmic art — which is a bit different to interactive art, and Frieder Nake’s specialty.
If anyone wants to publish this article by all means go right ahead. I’m a legal scholar but with a concentration on computers and so the interesting courses on compart worked their way into my experiences — I just don’t have time to locate journals in fields outside my discipline (law, AI and law) and any linkage or republication is explicitly allowed. Thanks! engleerica@yahoo.com
