Blog Review: Aperture Magazine Blog


Aperture Magazine Blog

Site Specific: Introduction  by Christopher Phillips,
                       September 11, 2013
  • Aperture is a not-for-profit foundation based in New York which was created in 1952 by photographers and writers as “common ground for the advancement of photography,” They produce, publish, and present a program of photography projects. Aperture posts daily photography of authors on the blog. In addition to posting, they publish four issues for magazine each year and about twelve and fifteen new photobooks. It is a growing digital publishing program. Aperture’s projects and programs are made possible by the support of their company. It is for the photo community. It is little bit complicated to find your topic because they feature a lot of theme on the homepage.
  • This blog is a piece of from a longer essay included in Site Specific: Photographs of Olivio Barbieri in Aperture magazine. This article is written by Christopher Phillips. He is one of the world’s most restless photographers. He mentions “the city as an avatar of itself.”  He pictured more than forty of the world’s cities from a helicopter hovering. 
Then, he believed the aim of Site Specific was not to produce an objective document of the world’s cities but to somehow push photography’s language into new territory.
I was interested at urban photos of some countries taken by him. Also, I was surprised at his term of viewing urban cities into both, good and bad points.

Blog Rivew: Glasstire!


- Glasstire
- Brian Keith Jones: Meanwhile…Back in Dallas October 18th, 2013 – Danielle Georgiou


-Glasstire is an online magazine that covers visual art in Texas and Southern California.  It is a non-profit corporation, and they’ve been operating since January 2001. They are supported in part by grants from the Texas Commission for the Arts and lots of departments. There are lots of editors and bloggers. For instance, Michael Bise, one of them is an artist, also as featured columnist living in Houston, TX.  The blog is visually appealing well and focuses on various topics such as video and arts including photography. They post typically five times a week.  

-Ro2 Art opened to an excited crow Brian Keith Jones’ first solo exhibition, ‘Meanwhile… Back’ on the same day as the State Fair. The gallery is in Dallas, TX.  Ro2 Art focuses on the exhibition and sale of work in all visual media at the gallery, as well as through public exhibition programs. The opening session is through September 27 - October 27, 2013. The topic of the work is about the local nostalgia of last year’s traumatic blaze, in which an electrical fire destroyed the iconic statue of Big Tex (or Big brian identified only by a curl of hair on his forehead). He made the painting into film at 24 frames per second, was made from 50 individual paintings. Next, he loves neon colored fluorescent paint.

-I was interested about that his work entertains, and evokes just enough folksiness not to have been made anything profound in the work.  In addition, I thought the painting was so lovely and approachable easily to me.

‘Lenscratch’ Blog Review

 ‘Lenscratch’ Blog Review
The title of the article is nature of Civilization by Toru Shiomi


    LE N S C R A T C H is considered one of the 10 Photography-Related blogs. This blog is well organized simply to connect recent art photos on the right side. It is visually appealing and easy to read. They post photography as uploading daily updates and their main posts are about recent art photo news. It explores contemporary fine art photography. The photo is for Mysteries, Dreams, and Other Worlds Exhibition one month ago by Toru Shiomi entitled nature of Civilization. The artist was born in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan and now lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. After working as a scientist in National Research Lab, she started a career as a photographer. She focuses on finding suitable methods to express the concept of thesis. She makes lots of experiments to combine traditional artwork techniques with modern technology including photography itself. She has been won some awards from 2011 to 2013.
    The work called ‘nature of Civilization’ is about the technology human beings found into the nature with great mystery. She is trying to show that human beings have expanded it about the essence of nature and her belief of our technological society . I’m interested in this photo because it seemed such as fantasy that people would see the progressive technology as a photo.
