This article already LOOKS interesting, with those pictures of you embedded ... I will have Google Translator have a go at it; that should work to get the gist.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought ... A long time ago, I worked for a newspaper, and I had assignments to write stuff of a certain word count, and was paid by that (per number of words).
Given that this still is so in the news writers' business today - do you think that your pictures in the article boosted the word count of this article up? If so, then you may have made someone rich for a day, I guess :-)))!
Here's what Google translated:
ReplyDeleteThe aim of the work of Annemarie Wright is to challenge the public perception as a first impression. Inside the 'universe contemporary British artist, writing becomes an image ...

The words give life to looks, attitudes, expressions, appearances. The delicate portraits, like a fleeting cloud, gently leaning on the walls of the gallery. The two floors of exhibition space are redundant words, do not confuse or disturb, but to our harmony, creating unexpected forms. The exhibition at the gallery the young artist Woolff Cambridgeshire, Annemarie Wright (1979), presents portraits of people of our age, just past or present, plus a few urban landscapes in London. The feelings and emotions that the characters have become aroused in the artist words that give shape to the eye, face, portraits. The cloud of his thoughts, takes shape in the work through personal expression of my handwriting. The simple black and white portraits, executed in ink on paper, only to later reveal to be formed by words.

Fun is to try to recognize the subjects portrayed. In The world used us as an excuse to go mad (2010) there are four of Liverpool, Andy Warhol I like boring Thinks (2010) and Margaret Thatcher in The lady is not for turning (2011). But the artist is known for provocative portrait of Tony Blear, Their Families Have Been Told (2011) created by writing the names of British soldiers killed in conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, causing disappointment to have associated the names of the victims to the executioner . This work is part of the series-Scandals rocked the art world as well That They Should not Be Restless (2010), where the Twin Towers are created using the names of the victims of the terrorist attack of September 11. In the same series is also the work Neverland (2011), in which the portrait of Michael Jackson is formed from the names of children who are believed to have been abused by the Rock Star. The value of this work lies not only in harmony and delicacy of the composition, also in charge of writing a strong symbolic value. Just writing seems, therefore, be at the heart of the entire work of the artist. Pay for a troubled history, to be forgotten and disadvantaged in relation to voice, the writing is back for some time, central to the interests of our culture. An example is the French philosopher Jacques Derrida, an analysis of the writing, has made it a philosophy. Writing, in the work of Wraight, body becomes a sign and, as such, is the means for a concept of a gesture. In its work, the manuscript section is more subtle, sometimes more often, and also breaks with the text, create light and dark.

The faces portraits created in this way from the physicality of words. The trace of the symbol announced at the same time points. Writing with physical, has a volume effects, we sat down and emanations sensitive, is not limited, therefore, to express a concept, but is capable of expressing the expression of a face.
