black and white photograph empty street dog
black and white photograph empty street dog tags, and a tiny, white neon sign reading KEEP OUT, written in a smudgy, messy block of mud. This gesture—the very act of painting—is itself a gesture of submission to the power of the street, a gesture of its own obliteration.The exhibition was arranged around a wall of mirrors, which offered the viewer the chance to see the artists work as if it were a video. The viewers reflection was heightened by the video projection, in which the street itself was the only thing visible. In the gallery, the video was projected onto a white wall, which itself served as the backdrop for the street. A large black-and-white text appeared in the gallery: A LITTLE KNOWN FOR A FEW YEARS, YOUNG ARTIST. SO I CHOSEN TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF ME. I LIKE TO TAKE A LINE AT MIDNIGHT. I LOVE YOU GUYS. I LOVE YOU. YOUNG ARTIST. A LITTLE KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME, YOUNG ARTIST. SO I CAN TAKE YOUR EYES OFF ME. I LIKE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF ME. I LIKE TO TAKE A LINE AT MIDNIGHT. I LOVE YOU GUYS.

, with a black-and-white image of a car. In the end, however, I think the "trashy-goodness of the photographs is their own strength; it is their power to connect and to stand out.
black and white photograph empty street dog stands to mimic the houses and windows of the neon sign. The shots of the van parked on a concrete sidewalk in front of a white-painted wall are a kind of visual mirroring of the cars, their mirrored interior walls creating a kind of space in which the viewer could peer into the cars windows and inside their interior.In the exhibition catalogue, Raffaelo describes the van as a car without windows, a vehicle that has no interior, a car that could be seen only from outside. But this car, like the neon sign, is illuminated from above and not from below. Thus, the van was a car without interior, a car that, like the neon sign, could be seen only from above and below. It is a car that was in the street, in the space, and in the car. The van is a car that was put there by the artist, as he put it in a statement, but that could not be seen from the outside. The van is a car that is not in the street, and in the space of the gallery it is placed on the floor, which is why the van is seen from the outside and not the inside. As the van is illuminated from above, the interior of the car is visible. But the interior is empty, and the van is empty, and the space is empty. The gallery is empty, and the van is empty. The space is empty, and the van is empty. The space is empty, and the van is empty. The space is empty, and the van is empty. The space is empty, and the van is empty. The space is empty, and the van is empty. The space is empty, and the van is empty. The space is empty, and the van is empty. The space is empty, and the van is empty. The space is empty, and the van is empty. The space is empty, and the van is empty.
black and white photograph empty street dog tags from a corner of a Los Angeles alley, which was hung on the wall at eye level. This work, titled Wrecked, 2008, features a photograph of a wrecked car on the street, with a black-and-white tag attached to its window. The tag looks as if it had been dropped in the middle of the street, and it was not immediately apparent where the wreck had been. However, a nearby resident informed the artist that the tags had fallen from the windows of a nearby construction site. The work seemed to be a commentary on the transient nature of the street, the possibility of being swept up by construction work and left to fend for itself.But the title of the work, Wrecked, 2008, is misleading. It is not a photograph of a broken car, but rather a photograph of a photograph. The title is a play on the word wreck, which refers to a photograph that fails to capture a specific event. Wrecked, 2008, is a photograph of a broken window, but broken windows are not typically seen in Los Angeles. Instead, broken windows are generally seen in the city from above, and they are usually broken by construction workers or other people who enter the city to fix broken glass. In Wrecked, 2008, however, the broken window is seen from below, and the broken pane of glass looks like a broken pane of glass. The image is thus both a photograph of a broken window and an image of a broken window. This duality is heightened by the fact that the work is framed by a frame made of broken glass, which is visible from above and below. The broken pane of glass is a frame that only widens the gap between broken window and broken pane of glass, which is the frame that only widens the gap between broken window and frame of broken window.
black and white photograph empty street dog stands and a carpeted room, respectively, in which a bottle of vodka sits on a table, and the word DECEPTION appears, in Chinese, in the window. The paintings are of the same size as the pictures, and in each, the two-inch-high panels are stacked two to a height of about six feet. The result is a two-dimensional field of color—a kind of visual duospeak—that is at once literal and metaphorical. In the photographs, however, the paint has been applied to the canvas, with the result that the marks are in the process of being broken down and scattered across the surface. The paintings, on the other hand, are made of cellulose, a substance that is known to absorb light, and the process of their making is analogous to the scattering of images across the wall. This is a metaphor of the studio as a window on the world, a window that one can step inside and step out of. The same is true of the paintings. They are not paintings in the conventional sense, but rather paintings that are meant to be viewed from outside, and they are meant to be viewed from outside. In this way, they are like photographs, in that they record the passage of time, and the viewer is invited to enter and exit the work.The photographs and paintings are meant to be viewed from outside the frame, and this is what they do. But from outside the frame they become images, and, thus, they function as signs. They are also signs of an individual's position in a world that is simultaneously oneiric and serious. It is this position that the photographs document. In this way, the paintings are like photographs, in that they record the passage of time, and the viewer is invited to enter and exit the work. They are also like signs of an individual's position in a world that is simultaneously oneiric and serious.
