“Alan Belcher has produced new work for this exhibition, a ceramic multiple edition. Known for his pioneering of the “photo-object_ genre (artworks which fused the disciplines of photography and sculpture); he has furthered that exploration with a multiple series of what can be seen as perhaps the ultimate “photo-object”. Belcher has taken the ephemeral nature of the universal jpeg, and solidified its default icon into a standard image surrogate. The edition entitled “______.jpg” was fabricated in China, is a series of 125 pieces each signed and dated.” 25 Years of Talent at Marianne Boesky Gallery, curated by Michelle Grabner May 2 - Jun 16, 2012.

“Social reading doesn’t create a new category. People excerpt and annotate and share and argue and quote and remix. All these things happen all the time. Social reading introduces the idea of text as a usable object. The idea that I’d read it and then do something about it — those actions were always connected, but we pretended they weren’t because the book didn’t have those features. Social reading goes any place where a group of people cares about a particular text.”

Grant McCracken Spots A Culture Creation Trend
At PSFK CONFERENCE NYC, Grant McCracken spoke about how he was looking at a trend where creative minds were taking culture and remixing it to make new culture. For his new book Culturematic, the ethnographer has studied Twitter users who mimicked an imaginary character in a real TV show, bar-owners who didn’t want their new establishment to be found and Syberian youths who created protests using lego men.
