Painting Photography Painting: Timelines and Medium Specificities: Carol Armstrong
Timelines Medium, Specificities (edit)
definitions proposals concept, specificity,
intermediate intermediary intermediate agency, instrument, or channel; a means;
chiefly exchange tokens transactions trading medium … material or technique material or mode
activity channel Freq. media Any material for recording or reproducing
intervening substance
impressions’ vehicle pervading enveloping lives
cultured. Conditions of lives’ usual social setting.
Any liquid substance.
proposal
no by definition go-betweens
proposal
exist within a matrix of communication
proposal
not be a reductive but generative light
painting, prime prime materiality medium.
mediums are histories
histories thought inscribed etymologies “menstruum” alchemical “a nutritive matrix” “a liquid
used as a vehicle;”
Regarding questions or so in reverse
several argued,
a 2008 Ellen Gallagher, An Experiment of Unusual Opportunity, strange, barely visible
deep sea creature floating in the underwater biosphere
lapidary fashion exactly?
low relief gestures support binding (imagistic) barely distinguished post-medium toward
figuration
Moving backward The Computer Moves In
raster spill, manganese
ancient and modern pre-printed
deceased in 2010
umbrella institutional history, large, “material thought”
facture and techne somekind of hybridity province
cave paintings hover in the back in front of the rest
not binder
heterogeneity

process binds image abstraction figurative literal reference reflexivity metaphor metonymy visual verbal
as well
until death die hard
Rebus
printed painted history changed is
White Male American
straight – or rather bent
obvious filiation endemic to teleological histories
only sibling instances arrayed over time
hybridity,
“cultural dominant”
did not mean another death
morphed liquidity
in a dance manu – facture
singular no longer led the march
purity
pluralism
Laszlo Moholy-Nagy
death exaggerated
put under the sign of the photograph appearing in a book photogram reproduction into one
slippery definitions
dominates (negative) facture physicality light shadow indexical shed pictorial embrace self-
reflexivity light sensitive surface graces cover dialectical Aufhebung
one is in the other
reproduced
in a matrix
Only fifteen years of 1940
1890 remember surface covered
inserted American condon filiation French 1860s
literature 1860s premature
decadence
the late becoming present
its death rattle
air, water, earth and fire; blood, water, milk, light and gem; solid, liquid and gas; liquefaction,
combustibility, mineral bases, alchemical possibilities, often poisonous
out of the ground transmogrified incandescence shuttling between pure matter pure chroma brute materiality ethereal opticality
mummification beneath yellowing time
intense flaming glory blinding brilliance
apotheoses
fireworks of sleet dazzle
Coriolus
wounded by the darkness tried to release the dream

Romantic splintering of subject, sign and medium,

Laocoon
temporal spatial
not the photograph itself, but a photographic reproduction of
time,

Relational, cosmic, feminine

1863
no timeline dualism
specificity as “difference”
Europa [1957] topos
Rape of Europa
Le chef-d’oeuvre inconnu

These, then,
different times, at once singular, plural
Rehearsing in/with Media: Some Remarks on the Relationship between Dance, Film, and Painting: Sabeth Buchman
Rehearsing In / With Media (last two pages) (edit)
