I have always believed in the power of geography. The same idea, executed in two differentplaces in the world will deliver completely different results. Moreover these geographicalplaces carry with them an added wealth of context. I admire artists who made works in exotic places. In the 90’s I traveled and painted in a multitude of locations, in rented apartments, hotels and in glamorous studios offered by residency programs in half a dozen cities in Europe and Asia. One opportunity lead to another in a haphazard and unpredictable chain. In Sperlonga I painted in a windowless room in a Moorish tower, In Tokyo I painted on the bed in the tiniest hotel room in the world and in Berlin in a massive storage warehouse in the ex-east which had once been filled with coffee beans. The idea of the ’Itinerant’ artist is an honored and historical practice which still has vitality today. ’Looking Back’ is a book about the benefits of an itinerant life.

Take the one at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and North Fuller Avenue in Hollywood, California. A squat rectangle of stucco and drywall, it offers everything we’ve come to expect in a corner ’convenience center’: a pizza parlor, a doughnut shop, a cell phone store, a m...

    GLEN RUBSAMEN
    Détournement (literally, diversion or hijacking), is the act of turning the expressions, both visual and literary, of the capitalist system and its mediatized military culture against itself. In Glen Rubsamen’s War Series this détournement is directed against an increasingly intrusive and instrumentalizing technocratic culture whose function is the manufacture of consent throug...
