“In all my work there’s this notion of the melancholic. You can make a photograph about the sublime, but you can’t make the sublime itself; you can never make the equivalent of lying in a quarry at midnight, looking at the moon. . . . Beauty is part of the language of that. I want [my photographs] to be seductive, but they’re also about an unattainable desire.” –John Divola
With a career spanning four decades, John Divola is as distinctive for his commitment to the photographic community as for his thought provoking work. Divola was born in Los Angeles in 1949. After graduating with a BA from California State University, Northridge, he entered the MFA program at the University of California Los Angeles. There, under the tutelage of Robert Heineken, the artist began to develop his own unique photographic practice, one that merges photography, painting, and conceptual art. In addition to his own studio practice, he teaches contemporary art at the University of California Irvine and writes about current photographic practice for a national audience.

| 2000 Malibu Progressions Statement The individual images used in these works were made in 1983 and 1984. With one exception, they were taken in Malibu. In the individual shots a white geometric form has been placed on a pole in each shot. The camera is tilted to align the edge of the frame to the edge of the geometric shape. The exposure is made using a colored flash from the camera location. Four images are chosen for each of these works. There are 24 possible variation of the four images. All twenty-four variations are presented with the same mathematical progression every finished work. |

http://www.simoneleigh.com/ (born in Chicago, lives and works in Brooklyn) Caribbean artist Simone Leigh’s ceramic sculptures draw parallels between the history of colonialism and the history of ceramics. By commenting on the stereotyping of race and ethnicity through subtle changes in ceramic glazes, Leigh provokes viewers into confronting their own superficial prejudices about the female body & the tradition of craft.
