“DIARY OF AN INFATUATION JUNKIE” IS A MULTI-MEDIA ART INSTALLATION
INSPIRED BY A LIFE LONG PURSUIT OF:
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT & A PASSIONATE LIFE
My IndieGOGO Campaign is to
fund a 10’ x 42' x 8' art installation I'm creating at my studio in New York for the
Venice Biennale. It will be on view at the Swatch Pavilion in Arsenale Nord,
Venice, from September 10th through October 21st.
Swatch is the main partner of The Venice Biennale 2015, the world’s most prestigious exhibition of contemporary art Swatch Website.
The 56th edition opened May 9, 2015 under the title “All the World’s
Futures" curated by Okwui Enwezor and runs through November 22, 2015. Biennale Website
I’ve launched a 35 day
IndieGOGO campaign, ending this coming July 27th to raise the funds to pay for
shipping, transportation and supplies. Please get involved and participate in
making this massive visual extravaganza about love in the fast lane become a
reality! Your financial help, whatever you can contribute is essential for this project
to materialize. The installation must be delivered in parts from
Manhattan and installed in Venice, which is quite costly.
My installation is actually a
SECRET….Swatch wants my images under lock + key until the unveiling to the
media on September 10th so I am sworn to secrecy. What I CAN tell you, is that
it’s going to be a multi-media installation entitled “Diary of an Infatuation
Junkie” and will tell a visual story of love and passion at the turn of the
21st Century. My past work is on view at www.jennykrasner.com
________________________________
Diary of an Infatuation Junkie will be a wall relief/installation that will be printed on archival photographic paper. The white is the wall, and my images will be separately printed and then cut out to be attached to the wall. Areas will be painted directly on the wall and actual created objects nailed into the wall as well as free standing in the immediate front space you see in this diagram.
________________________________
The installation, though thematically not new in respect to the concept of photocollage, is technically and culturally innovative as digital collage has only recently been widely accepted as a viably commercial art form by art dealers, an investment opportunity by collectors, and respected by the public through exposure in museums and galleries.
This new artwork is directly inspired by a life-long fascination with graffiti and street art; I will essentially be creating my own urban wall. Using images appropriated from mass culture in tandem with objets trouvés the work becomes a means of establishing a private iconography, thereby wresting identity from a larger public sphere, where commodification can threaten individuality and meaning. This narrative artwork will communicate deep personal opinions and emotions but as human beings we share similar feelings, hopes and fears so inevitably visual and conceptual universality does exist.
