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.

Manipulation of space and time. POV is tricky if one wishes to remove personal reflection. Shifting surfaces demand moving views with respect to the “object.” Thus, sculptural approach. Parts of one reflect, literally, into another rather than how it works with Dole-Recio show in an adjacent space of the gallery, when and where actual, light-absorbing parts are fragmented and arranged into other works. Literally, one a static approach; the other dynamic. Figuratively, both dynamic. Or, perhaps, it’s not quite so binary and clear... That one would pass between them through a common door made for thought-provoking juxtapositions (see both photos below).
