Niall McClelland

"With folded photocopies, old bed-sheets, fragile newsprint, and other basic materials, Niall McClelland makes compelling works that radiate a sense of formal elegance with arte povera-like zeal and a little bit of the sneering contrariness born of punk music."
- Clint Roenisch

joe winter

joe winter's 'xerox astronomy and the nebulous object-image archive' is"an installation in two parts: 1) a central kinetic sculpture and 2) the presentation of the image archive the sculpture produces. the first part places an office photocopier at the center of a mechanical model of the universe. in this model, a group of desklamp-esque arms orbit robotically, maneuvering light sources above the bed of the copier, the system's observation and recording device. by continually documenting, through photocopies, the paths of the orbiting objects, the copier produces images suggestive both of various forms of scientific vision (astrophotography, sonography, etc) and paranormal/hoax photography." see more here.

penelope umbrico

penelope umbrico's 'office / still lives (as photocopies)' project. as she explains: "images taken from an office supply catalog advertising office cubicles. i scanned the catalog images with special attention to the arrangement of objects and photographs on the desks in the cubicles. i then applied the 'photocopy' filter in photoshop to create a fake photocopy document of the fake office environment. the effort to humanize the otherwise dry, cold, emptiness of the represented workspace is played out in the fictional family photographs and plastic plants. the mute computer props punctuate my gridded arrangement, ominously refusing to communicate anything." see more here.
