Contemporary Art In Situ

An account run by Rafael Fajardo for the exploration and discussion of situated contemporary art. This will include an expansive definition of contemporary, site-specific work, and work that (attempts to) ignore its context.

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.
After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

This work explodes with motion and question of being. A blast of oranges, yellows, and reds pulls your eye outward from layered cores of impact. It feels like looking at the moment just before or after something irreversible happens.

#ConArtInSitu with a sense of humor and a sense of scale. I’m at the Denver Art Museum looking at the monumental Claes Oldenburg sculpture from the bridge between the Ponti (Martin) and the Liebeskind (Hamilton) buildings

The art at Alameda Station in Denver is great! A massive mural next to a Herbert Bayer gate. On my way to Denver Art Museum to revisit the Monkman paintings for #ConArtInSitu Wednesday.

On the H line to get to the Denver Art Museum for our Wednesday afternoon #ConArtInSitu. The museum has begun a program it calls mindful looking where it encourages people to spend long(er) periods of time with a single piece/work of art.

The preview I see as I post this image doesn’t capture the juxtaposition of the sculptural forms. The gloss of the metal arches contrasts against the matte grey and yellow of the bigger-than-human scale figures at the rear right of the image. There is a contraposto the reminds me of people.

I’ve been working on a thing: The Vicki Myhren Gallery is proud to present Code-X: Contemporary Chicanx Codices. This exhibition brings together the artworks of more than a dozen Chicanx artists who reimagine the long tradition of the codex as a dynamic space for Chicanx storytelling. Opens Jan 9.
