Suzanne Treister "Alchemy" and Kim Rugg "Don't Mention the War"
P.P.O.W.
This event has ended.
Suzanne Treister’s Alchemy (2007-8), series culls images and text from international newspapers and transforms them into alchemical drawings. “These works redeploy the languages and intentions of alchemy: the transformation of materials and essences and the revealed understanding of the world as a text, as a realm of powers and correspondences which, if properly understood, will allow man to take transformative power.”
Kim Rugg literally takes the front pages of major newspapers and cuts out each letter and organizes them in alphabetical order. In Don’t Mention the War, (2004) she uses the same process to splice the images, putting them back together by color gradation. This results in pixilated screens and headlines which read like organized baby talk.
