Amy Wolff, PDN Photo editor, chose eight Tempus Incognitus images to be part of PDN’s online Photo of the Day blog. Amy wrote a wonderful introduction to this work in a blog entry she call’s “Hues of Empty Hotel Rooms.” Thanks!

PDN – Photo of the Day “Brad Carlile – Tempus Incognitus”

Excerpt:

Artist Brad Carlile‘s series, “Tempus Incognitus,” invites viewers to imagine and invent stories about what may have happened in empty hotel rooms. In order to create his colorful images, Carlile photographed each room multiple times each day (each image took two days), varying the exposure length and paying careful attention to commonly found, but mostly ignored, light sources—night lights, TVs, lights outside of the rooms and hallway lights, for example.

PDN (Photo District News) is the world’s most respected professional photography magazine. The PDN Photo of the Day features the best and most innovative current photography. Please enjoy the other great work at this site. I suggest bookmarking it to keep up with the most interesting work.

El Espacio Multiarte – SIGEN participa de los Encuentros Abiertos. Festival de la Luz 2014 con una muestra internacional

Desde este jueves 21 de agosto, el Espacio Multiarte – SIGEN abrirá nuevamente sus puertas al público con una muestra internacional en el marco de los Encuentros Abiertos. Festival de la Luz 2014.

Este año, con la temática HORIZONTES, el Festival de fotografía más importante de Argentina, cumple 25 años de trayectoria y propone infinidad de muestras y exposiciones a lo largo de todo el país. Con sede en el Centro Cultural Recoleta de la ciudad de Buenos Aires y gran cantidad de espacios culturales y museos de arte participantes, inauguró oficialmente el pasado martes 12 de agosto y podrá ser visitado durante los meses de agosto y septiembre.

En esta nueva edición del Festival, el Espacio Multiarte – SIGEN presenta la exposición Tempus Incognitus del fotógrafo norteamericano Brad Carlile.

Carlile fotografía habitaciones individuales en diferentes momentos del día desde una misma perspectiva. Su técnica o regla de trabajo hace a la vez de soporte conceptual: toma múltiples exposiciones, sin manipularlas digitalmente, durante varios días a determinadas horas, utiliza únicamente la luz de las habitaciones ajustándose a esa iluminación particular sin geles, filtros o luces de colores; finalmente, en su serie de fotografías, tiempo y espacio se desvanecen uno dentro de otro. Esa rutina y ese estricto registro de los tiempos transicionales del día proyectan imágenes adonde se pierde todo sentido del tiempo.

“A pesar de que la globalización ha homogeneizado nuestros ambientes interiores, las historias que se desarrollan en estas habitaciones pueden ser dramáticas. Hay que pensar en interiores de Edward Hopper bañados en colores de James Turrell dirigidos por David Lynch. Estas habitaciones de hotel carecen de efectos personales para invitar una narrativa.” Brad Carlile.

Tempus Incognitus de Brad Carlile podrá verse durante los meses de agosto y septiembre en el Espacio Multiarte – SIGEN (Avda. Corrientes 381 – CABA), de lunes a viernes de 9 a 18 hs., con entrada libre y gratuita

No dejes de visitarla, te esperamos.

Brad Carlile crea interesantes abstracciones utilizando largas exposiciones que pueden tardar unos minutos, un par de horas e incluso ¡varios días! ¿Interesante no?

Brad Carlile es fotógrafo americano reconocido mundialmente por su galardonada serie “Layer(s) Organic”. La serie explora la diferencia que se genera entre la manera en que cada uno percibe las cosas y la realidad de las mismas.

American photographer Brad Carlile is recognized worldwide for his award-winning series “Layer(s) Organic”. The series explores the difference generated between the way everyone perceives things and the reality of them.

The images are generated from long exposures captured from different angles to generate different layers of light, shapes and color, while creating powerful abstractions at the intersections of these layers.

Brad Carlile’s “Deec” from the Tempus Incognitus series.

Mark Feeney, a Pulitzer Prize-winning arts critic, for The Boston Globe writes:

“The luridness of the shade of green in Brad Carlile’s “Deec” — think limeade laced with gangrene — has to be seen to be disbelieved. Androids may or may not dream of electric sheep. But if dream they do, this is what the green in those dreams must look like. “

In our busy lives it is hard to keep up to date on what artists are doing. I use a variety of emails and promo cards to update collectors, curators, publishers, and reviewers on my recent shows.

Recently I sent an email to Kat Kiernan who picked my promo card as promo card of the week and posted it on her blog.

Many thanks Kat!

Brad Carlile’s “Tempus Incognitus” Wins at PDN Photo Annual 2014 Awards

NEW YORK, NY – I am honored to announce that my series Tempus Incognitus was recognized in the PDN Photo Annual 2014 as one of the top fine art personal photography projects.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to PDN and the judges of the PDN Photo Annual 2014 for choosing his series. I also extends my congratulations to the other winners.

To start seeing my winning images on my website, you can got to this link:
www.bradcarlile.com/portfolio/tempus-incognitus/newbar.html

The PDN Photo Annual website (click on image to open window on PDN):

Empty hotel rooms from all over the world form the basis of these works, all shot in multiple exposures over time in slide film, with no post-exposure or digital manipulation. The rooms are electric with acidic color, yet spare and detached by virtue of their transient energy and occupation. The perimeters of shifted space and time are blurred, giving a result both classic and contemporary.
