dayoutlast is a record of my direct engagement with mostly contemporary art, mostly Los Angelean.

As this blog has evolved since its 2010 inception, so has my perspective. What I once perceived as central within the investigation was what was central, literally, within the photographic frame that I shared here. While still an important consideration, such thinking has also given way to more peripheral considerations, ones also accompanied occasionally by text (written manifestation of thought) and the oscillations between them. What's missing here are larger unknowns surrounding issues of presentation and representation; the amount of time and space it actually takes to accomplish such first-hand observations; and the quandaries between documentation and interpretation.

Despite my attempt to communicate here with image and text what is essential in some respect about the artwork, neither representation should ever be considered a substitution for the primary viewing experience. Of course, occasionally there are exceptions.

Most of the time, these posts are merely remnants---residual fragments---from my last day out.

Works that are involved in an exchange of absorption between architecture and intervening elements, finished in black like the opposite of white out on paper and colored edges, discrete shits and subtle reflections between object and place. Not quite knowing which is which is part of the fun as skylights, floor imperfections and other features complicate the viewing experience. Whatever the case, it's not difficult to translate this one into the real world as the below photo will attest; it's an exterior wall just doors down from the gallery space in which Akdgoan has inserted similar dynamic elements, mostly linear to frame an expanding, non-linear universe.
