Brad's work in Context with other Artists who Explore Time and Space

Explorations of time and space are important to many artists. After visiting a show of vintage Muybridge collotypes from Animal Locomotion at Hartman Fine Art (154 NW 8th, Portland OR). I was inspired to show how Muybridge's work fits into time&space explorations with other artists (Futurists, Cubists, Impressionists, Jan Dibbets, James Welling, Walead Beshty, and various photographic techniques).

One way to look at this wide variety of artists is in terms of subject movement, perspective movement, illumination movement, time scale, and representational method.

If you were wondering why I chose two seemingly different attributes under representation. I took a cue from Mondrian, who reduced painting's long-held "Disegno e Colore" to just lines and colors. In the simplist terms we have two representation possiblities (line & color). Side note: Historically, Italians used "Disegno e Colore" to describe the act of painting. To them, Disegno meant both “design” and “drawing.” Colore to them meant both “color” and physically applying paint.

Above I mentioned that these are artists that explore time & space, that was a bit of an over statement. I think that cubists were much more interested in capturing the full extent or feeling of the subject and go beyond straight representation, so in that manner they are more about exploring space, subject, and the feeling of an object.

All of my work is created in film on camera without digital creation or manipulation.
