MoMA PS1 Art Book Fair

MoMA PS1 Art Book Fair

I visited the New York Art Book Fair on the 22,23 and 24 Sep. Wanted to visit a panel discussion on Starving Artists Cookbook on Sunday, September 24, 3-4pm. But couldn't manage to find it, even after asking a bunch of people including the information desk, nobody seems to know : (


Overall it was exciting to be at the book fair, since I studied book and graphics as a 4 years bachelor and I like books in general.. While in the fair, I listen to a lecture titled: “Furthering the Critical Dialogue: the state of artists books criticism.” If there is time I can elaborate on this in class. Also got 3 books and 1 “stone”:

First book is from an artist/ photographer/ hard worker based in New York, called David Brandon Geeting, the book is called “amusement park”:


Second book is a risograph printed drawing book called “IT IS WHAT IT IS”, the Artist is Burn Bjöërn, based in Austria: 


Third book is a drawn book as well called “THE MANY WAYS OF THE PATATO” by Sanaa Khan:


The stone is actually made of silicon, it's surprising when you touch. It was made by students from the Werkplaats Typografie in Arnhem, NL:


What I didn't like about the fair was that I couldn't afford most of the books/ items I liked and I didn't have the time to see it all, 

Keywords for what I want now:

More time to think!

Body fluids in art

Idea one  Title: Manneken Pis Background: Manneken Pis is a landmark small bronze sculpture in Brussels, depicting a naked little boy urinating into a fountain's basin. It was designed by Hiëronymus Duquesnoy the Elder and put in place in 1618 or 1619. The current statue dates from 1965. Make a symbolic replica of the statue/fountain that literally pees pee. Problematics/ Questions: The original statue is made of bronze, too expensive. What you been a material it's made off? How much should it be similar to the statue - how much should it be just a symbolic gesture? And the sculpture be present at this video? Images: Idea two Title: Urinating “Hopefully, you already know that it is not socially acceptable or legal to urinate outside. In extreme situations, though, you might be faced with no other choice than to pee in public. Perhaps you are stuck in a traffic jam on a crowded highway and are miles away from the closest bathroom.

Idea one  Title: Soldier Cookies Key Words: soldiers, war, peace, game, toys, comedy, bitter, sweet, fight, cookie dough, activated charcoal, medicine, cure, salvation, fragility, masochism, sex, tragedy.. Problematics/ Questions: idea maybe to simple and clear, needs supported by presentation. How to present? Toys soldiers too small, need to be enlarged. How big should they be? Should they be 3-D or 2-D? 3-D can be seen as a sculpture/ toy. 2-D would look more as a cookie and has more of a drawing characteristics, which is not necessary bad. This project can be presented on a small platform/ pedestal made out of styrofoam, so to emphasise absurdity and bring more of an art object feel to the cookies. Should it be one soldier on the pedestal or a couple?  Images: Idea two Title: Food Drawing/s Key Words: food, drawing, traces, garbage, mess, dumpster diving, ecology, reusability, repurpose, respect, disrespect, overload, puke, desir

Food: Bio Art

Ok, Good, So, Hi whoever you are, if you're reading this blog you probably already met me, maybe you like me and you want to get to know my thoughts a little better or maybe just need some reassurance that I'm not stupid / proof that thoughts do run through my head.  Still, let me give you a little perspective on who I am! I'm currently 25 and I am writing this here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/199+St+Marks+Ave,+Brooklyn,+NY+11238/@40.678959,-73.969268,17z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x89c25ba676303db5:0x30f26bf24bdbc334?hl=en Google it! Someone named Sally Bozzuto forced me to write this blog and said I should focus my thoughts on Food: Bio Art.  Well what is / can be Food: Bio Art for me, I have yet to discover. Hey, Sally Bozzuto actually seems like a my kind of a person, she is one of the teachers who teach Food: Bio Art in SVA’s FA department which I'm currently on exchange with. So far we had 2 classes. First was an introduction to artists who use food as art.
