The Carnegie

GRAND THEFT: KATIE PARKER & GUY MICHAEL DAVIS
Grand Theft by Guy Michael Davis & Katie Parker is a 2-part installation utilizing the common/public spaces within The Carnegie. Both parts of this installation take photography as the fundamental tool that is used to create objects, even though a traditional “photograph” is not present in the final product.

Davis & Parker work primarily in ceramic media, using both high tech and low tech three-dimensional scanning processes to “catch” famous works from around the country for retranslation. For Grand Theft, the artists interpret several historic pieces. Because they are using low-grade photography equipment, and many of the objects are against walls or behind stanchions, the missing data becomes as interesting as the actual piece itself. These pieces will be installed in the George & Ellen Rieveschl entrance to The Carnegie.

The second component of this installation explores a process that produces lithophanes. Lithophanes are three-dimensional translucent porcelain plaques which when backlit reveal detailed magical images, first created in Europe in the 1820s. This method produces, essentially, a three-dimensional photograph. Lit from behind, the image is revealed to dramatic effect. Davis & Parker will present a series of photographs related to the Grand Theft objects in the Carnegie lower level.This project will be unveiled during FotoFocus and is a permanent installation.

NEAR*BY - Carew Tower

NEAR*BY Curatorial Collective announces High Art, an exhibition on the subject of perspective, scale, and serendipitous visual discovery. The show will take place on the rooftop Observation Deck of one of Cincinnati’s most beloved and highest elevated buildings:  the Carew Tower.  Visitors to the one-evening event will ride the elevator of this Art Deco structure to the 45th floor, board a tiny elevator and ride it to the 48th floor, then climb one last flight to visually identify the work of artists strategically placed around Downtown from this 574-foot vantage point.  This grouping of interdisciplinary works by artists Abby Mae Friend, Pam Kravetz, Jacob Lynn, Corrina Mehiel, Lyndon Probst, Ethan Riddle and Greg Swiger demonstrates how artists employ simple techniques of size, color and movement to attract their viewer’s attention. Artists will present temporary, large-scale works and performances, which may be seen either by the naked eye or with the assistance of binoculars from the Observation Deck of the Carew Tower—encouraging the act of active looking.

High Art will take place (weather pending) on Saturday October 18, 2014, 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. at The Netherland Plaza, Carew Tower, 441 Race Street, Downtown.  Rain date is the following Saturday October 25th, same time.  There is a $2 entry fee for all visitors to the Netherland Plaza Observation Deck.

NEAR*BY is an untethered curatorial collective that seeks to bypass the art institution, working as liaison between artists and pluralistic audiences. We aim to create ephemeral and interdisciplinary exhibitions that connect art with location and meld curatorial and artist practices while blurring the boundaries between installation and white cube
