Paul Myoda: Glittering Machines
through April 28, 2012
Glittering Machines is a solo exhibition of sculpture by Providence-based artist Paul Myoda. This is Myoda’s first exhibition at Project 4.1353 U Street NW, 3rd floor, Washington, DC 20009
Glittering Machines are modular, kinetic, interactive, sonic and illuminating sculptures investigating the human relationship with the digital world. Refuting the restrictions and disembodiment of the interfaces on our everyday electronic devices, Myoda explores ways in which computers can break from the limitations of the screen and interact with the physicality of the human body. By emulating natural behaviors, these works blur the distinction between the animate and inanimate realms.

Art Salon and Vernissage

One Lounge
1606 20th Street Dupont Circle, 7 p.m.
Washington, DC
In December 2008, photographer Patrick Cariou filed suit against Richard Prince and Gagosian Gallery in Federal district court for copyright infringement in response to Prince’s appropriation of 35 photographs taken by Cariou without his knowledge or permission. Several of the works by Richard Prince were sold, some for as high as $2.5 million. The Court in New York ruled against Mr. Prince and stated that the appropriation of the Rastafarian images was not a “fair use” and therefore a copyright violation. The case is currently on appeal and many museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MoMA have voiced support for Mr. Prince.
If you have ever thought or cared about the changes occurring in the art world with mass media and the internet, please join artist John James Anderson, Nora, Alex, Kate, Lizzie, Leah, Nadia and Adah Rose Gallery for a lively and robust discussion on the merits of the case, appropriation art and ethics and legality in the art world.
