ELEGANT ENIGMAS: THE ART OF EDWARD GOREY Presented by the Orlando Museum of Art, this delightful exhibition pays tribute to the work of Edward Gorey (1925-2000). Described as “incredibly sophisticated...stylish and inventive” by the New York Observer, Edward’s signature pen-and-ink illustrations and unique wit have led him to be considered one of America’s most imaginative and eccentric artists.

Editorial
It’s hot outside, so sit back, relax and take in some cool, refreshing art... Our cover story, Elegant Enigmas: The Art of Edward Gorey, on pg. 56, pays tribute to the work of Edward Gorey (1925-2000), whose eloquent and masterful drawings and witty, offbeat humor continue to delight and bemuse audiences worldwide. An interview with Leo Villareal, a pioneer in the use of LEDs and computer-driven imagery, on pg. 50, reveals the process and inspiration behind the digital animations of light and color featured in the artist’s engaging light sculptures and site-specific works. Fragile Beauty, on pg. 64, highlights two current exhibitions presenting the works of renowned photographers, Clyde Butcher and Lee Dunkel, who use their art form to capture the wondrous beauty of the Florida landscape. Speed Limits, on pg. 72, features an exhibition of works, in a variety of media, that reflects on the legacy of the Futurist movement’s celebration of speed—exploring its role and impact on modern life. Vintage art-toys from the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, inspired by Japanese tokusatsu films and TV shows, appear in Kaijū! Monster Invasion!, on pg. 80. And, this summer, On View takes a bite out of “The Big Apple”, sampling some of New York City’s finest art venues, starting on pg. 96. Enjoy!

I was among the many tourists, taking in the grand urban landscape of soaring edifices, which rose and fell, as colossal dunes, beyond the shimmering sculpture of Prometheus, the Greek fire god—a glistening beacon amidst the waves of passersby. A gentle breeze tickled my face, and I found myself celebrating the moment, transported by the genius of this design— the architecture and sculpture working harmoniously with the flow of life, as if nature had intended these elements as sun, sand and sea.

The compact size and shapes of the trailers lend themselves to the secular reliquary concept. The intricate, lighted interior of each work invites the

IF ANY TWO VISUAL ART FORMS can be linked together in their
development and potentials, they are painting and photography. Painting and its history, trying to redefine it and establish a dialogue with it, from the photography field, are at the core of Margarita Dittenborn’s compositions. She is heavily influenced by the Baroque artists, especially Diego Velázquez, and parodies early religious and still life paintings, setting them in an apparent time warp. Margarita combines a detailoriented practice with her skill as a modern photographer to compose rich photomontages complete with banquets, toy figures, and a host of creatures emerging from darkness.

LEO VILLAREAL orchestrates digital animations of light and color and is regarded as a pioneer in the use of LEDs and computer-driven imagery. Known both for his light sculptures and architectural, site-specific works, he presents innovative art that responds and relates to the technology of the 21st century. Leo Villareal: Recent Works offers visitors a chance to get up close to his works and understand how the smaller, interior sculptures work in concert with the larger, exterior works. The Tampa Museum of Art will also include a video loop of Sky (Tampa), a site-specific installation on the south façade of the museum which incorporates programmable LED lights, 45 feet high and 300 feet long, embedded within two layers of perforated aluminum panels that illuminate the downtown core. Leo began experimenting with light, sound, and video while studying set design and sculpture at Yale University, where he received his BA. He earned his MPS in the design of new

media, computational media, and embedded computing from New York University’s pioneering Interactive Telecommunications Program at the Tisch School of the Arts. The wondrous and transporting light sculptures are firmly rooted in the artist’s interest in underlying structures and rules. By incorporating principles of math and physics, he creates custom code that allows him to play with parameters like velocity and mass, adding different behaviors and complexity to the patterning and movement of light. For almost two decades, he has been developing a rich visual vocabulary based on the use of strobe lights, incandescent bulbs, and LEDs. Leo’s work has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions and he has produced site-specific commissions at major cultural institutions throughout the US and abroad. His installations can be found at The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC; P.S.1 MoMA, Queens, NY; Brooklyn Academy of Music, Brooklyn, NY; Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY; and the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, KS. Leo lives in New York City with his wife, Yvonne, and their son Cuatro. On View’s interview with Leo Villareal was arranged through Gering & López Gallery, NY.

in which emergent behavior can occur without a preconceived outcome. I am an active participant, serving as editor in the process through this careful selection of compelling sequences. These selections are then further refined via combination with other sequences through simple operations such as addition, subtraction and multiplication. The sequence’s opacity, speed and scale can all be manipulated using custom software. Ultimately, complex compositions are formed and then displayed in random order and for a random amount of time in the final artwork. The visual manifestation of the code in light is at the core of my interest.

OV: Where do you find inspiration for creating art?
LV: Working with teams of contractors, engineers, architects and designers over a span of several years requires tenacity and is much different from the traditional ‘artist working in the studio’ model. The biggest thrill for me is to finally begin the sequencing of a piece that I never could have created on my own and finding a solution that adds up to more than the sum of its parts.
LV: Starting at the beginning, using the simplest forms, I build elements within a framework. My work explores not only the physical but also the dimension of time, combining both spatial and temporal resolution. My forms move, change, interact and ultimately grow into complex organisms. Inspired by mathematician John Conway’s work with cellular automata and the Game of Life, I seek to create my own sets of rules. I find inspiration in geometry, natural systems and in the laws of

OV: How do you see your work evolving over the next few years?
LV: The work I am making today would be impossible without the relatively recent invention of the blue LED, which allows for the mixing of millions of colors. I look forward to advances in lighting technology that will produce even more efficient and longer lasting fixtures. I am interested in finding new algorithmic approaches to creating my work as well as forward-thinking groups with whom to collaborate, pushing software controlled lighting to its limits. O n V iew

The exhibition, hosted by the Orlando Museum of Art, features original illustrations, preparatory sketches, unpublished drawings and ephemera by the artist and author. Described as “incredibly sophisticated...styl-

ish and inventive” by the New York Observer, Edward’s signature pen-and-ink illustrations and unique wit have led him to be considered one of America’s most imaginative and eccentric artists. The exhibition includes
approximately 170 objects, featuring selections from such well-known publications as The Gashlycrumb Tinies, The Doubtful Guest, The Unstrung Harp and The Gilded Bat, among others.

This exhibition has been organized by the Brandywine River Museum, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.
During his lifetime, Edward published more than 100 books, designed sets and costumes for numerous theater productions (including his Tony-award winning 1977 production of Dracula) and illustrated works for a wide array of authors such as: Samuel Beckett, Charles Dickens, T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, H.G. Wells and John Updike. In 1980, Derek Lamb’s animated opening credits for the PBS series Mystery!, based on Edward’s drawings, introduced the artist’s work to millions of television viewers. In the whimsically twisted world of Edward Gorey, nothing is quite what it seems. His
imaginative and often enigmatic books are filled with a mixture of the ordinary and the ominous, with non sequiturs and brief statements that often leave as much to the imagination as they reveal. They cover a wide array of subjects from the ballet to a haunted tea-cosy to wickedly funny “alphabet” books and include an Edwardian-inspired cast of genteel ladies, men in smoking jackets, children in pinafores and sailor suits, and maids in proper uniform—the artist himself sometimes pops up as a character in his own work, dressed in a gigantic beaver coat.

ist text appear simple, the pen work is often complex. These eloquent images might complement the text and, on other occasions, raise puzzling questions. He rarely depicts murder or mayhem, portraying instead the actions that precede an event or suggest the immediate aftermath. Viewers are left to decipher meaning or to complete ongoing narratives for themselves. The result is often a delicate balance between the hilarious and ominous uncertainty. When asked about the effect of his work on readers, he replied, “In a way I hope it is mildly unsettling.” Although considered eccentric by some, and perhaps mis-

labeled as grim or morbid, his work is in fact whimsical, with just a twist of macabre humor. “Only very occasionally do I try to shock in a mild sort of way. I’m very squeamish really,” he once explained. Edward’s illustrations, which often suggest scenes from Edwardian England, tend to foster the erroneous belief that he was English and of that bygone era. And so it is surprising to some to find that he was their contemporary. Born and raised in Chicago, Edward attended Harvard University from 1946-1950 where he studied French. He rarely traveled and went abroad only once as an adult, sojourning in the Scot-

tish isles, not in England. Edward studied art for one semester at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago in 1943, and served in the U.S. Army from 1943 to 1946. From 1953 to 1960, he lived in New York City and worked for the art department of Doubleday Anchor, but his real passion was creating his own bizarre stories and illustrating them. “Line drawing is where my talent lies,” the artist said, yet he chose to work almost exclusively in black and white for practical reasons—since it was cheaper to print, he was more likely to get his marketing-challenged creations published. His ideas were often misinterpreted as “ghoulish,” and he was turned down by publisher after publisher until The Unstrung Harp came out in 1953 and his reputation began to grow. He would continue publishing an average of one to two new books a year for the next 45 years.

Once asked where he found inspiration for his enigmatic tales, he remarked, “God knows my influences are eclectic. There’s hardly anything I haven’t filched some time or another. ...silent films...

Although he had no children, Edward featured them prominently in many of his illustrations, but he used children to represent all of us—vulnerable, powerless inhabitants of an inexplicable universe. In 1983, Edward moved to Cape Cod where he maintained
a semi-reclusive lifestyle in his Yarmouth port home dating back nearly 200 years. When he was not working on the 100 or so projects he had outlined for himself at any given time, he indulged himself in the production of small experimental plays on Cape Cod, cared for his brood of six cats and watched old movies or his favorite television shows. Shortly before his death of a heart-attack in 2000, Edward reflected upon his legacy. “My name turns up in a review of a book or something where they say it’s very ‘Edward Goreyish’ or something like that. That happens often enough, so I feel I’ve made a tiny mark somewhere.” Ten years after his death, his work continues to inspire artists such as Lemony Snickett creator Daniel Handler and filmmaker Tim Burton, and will continue to do so as long as readers dare to enter his delightfully enigmatic world.

A S F L O R I D A D E A L S with the aftermath of
the single largest environmental catastrophe in our nation’s history, we cannot help but feel a great sense of pain and frustration. Restoring wetlands and wildlife habitats along the Gulf Coast will take far beyond the time needed to resolve the immediate effects of this man-made disaster—and the region’s environment may retain hazardous chemicals left behind by the BP oil spill for years to come. This tragic event is one we can only hope to learn from and pray that we never see again. So it becomes painfully clear how fragile this ecosystem truly is—a delicate balance of subtropical flora and fauna indigenous to this region alone—and we are grateful to the photographers who have dedicated themselves to preserving the essence and glory of this diverse wilderness. On View is proud to feature two exhibitions presenting the masterful works of renowned Florida landscape photographers, Clyde Butcher and Lee Dunkel, who use their art form to celebrate the wonder and beauty of this natural treasure.

T h e W o l f s o n i a n – FIU presents Speed Limits, an exhibition of more than 200 works, in a variety of media, which explores the role of speed and its impact on modern life. One hundred years ago, the Manifesto of Futurism proclaimed that “the world’s magnificence has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.” A century later, the tempo of life continues to accelerate. Speed Limits reflects on the legacy of the Futurist movement’s celebration of speed, probing the powers and limits of the modern era’s cult of speed in five key domains: circulation and transit, construction and the built environment, efficiency, the measurement and representation of rapid motion, and the mind/body relationship. Paintings, posters, drawings, books, videos, clocks and appliances, on display throughout the exhibition, present striking examples of Futurism’s dream of a fast-paced world. Speed Limits is all about complex choices and complex consequences, polarities, and also the intertwinings between the fast and the slow. 74

CIRCULATION and TRANSIT
Multiple perceptions of traffic and its models are vital to an understanding of the city and society. Speed Limits bears witness to the prevalent dream of an urban space with
freely-flowing traffic, and illustrates the concept of the grid, or network, that governs the movement of persons and goods as well as information. This is juxtaposed with the breakdown of circulation as

wake of its occurrence, the accident’s explanation lurks somewhere between operator error, systemic flaws, and circumstance. With the aid of science, it becomes possible to probe these zones, reconstruct accidents and improve the efficiency of transportation systems.

CONSTRUCTION and the BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Once the slowest art, due to the arduous nature of construction processes and the enduring nature of the resulting creations, architecture revs up in the modern era. The tempo of construction is altered by techniques such as prefabrication, standardization and modular construction. For centuries, architectural success implied the creation of works that passed the “test of time,” however new tests of time arise in the era of industry based upon factors like the pace of assembly.
EFFICIENCY
According to the Scientific Management movement, speed means efficiency and Speed

Limits focuses on two types of space transformed by speed, one domestic and the other public: the kitchen and the office. The kitchen becomes a specialized realm of food production where minutes count, precision is the rule, and tradition is overruled by modern science. So-called “continuous kitchens” were designed like production lines so that the sequence of fixtures, cabinets, and work surfaces could provide a seamless support for the food preparation process. Contemporary, all-stainless descendants of these first industrial
kitchens fulfill the dream of a fusion of home and factory. The office becomes the factory’s white collar double—a production site where labour consists of clerical tasks such as calculating, recording, and filing. With the transition to steel furnishings, typewriting supplants handwriting and devices such as telephones become the key components of a new work station. Paper records expand to such a degree that they are forced to migrate to vertical filing cabinets which soon develop into freestanding walls. Their

The fast tempo of life in the industrial era engenders a rich assortment of visual conventions for representing bodies in motion. Posters and graphics, whose design captures the notion of speed, are created to promote cars, tires, oils, and other products or services. With the advent of photography and film, the language further expands to encompass frame-by-frame timeslices, stroboscopic repetitions, blurring, and simple but suggestive geometries—zigzags, spirals and s-curves.

The MEASUREMENT and REPRESENTATION of RAPID MOTION
The tempo of modern life is marked by the ticking of clocks. They pulse both visibly and invisibly within the heart of electronic devices. In the company of these ubiquitous timepieces appears an everexpanding family of motion and position measurement devices: accelerometers, altimeters, odometers, and speedometers. Pace and calculation are always closely coupled.

Speed Limits suggests different ways in which acceleration is associated on the one hand with pleasure—ecstasy,
2010
the search for powerful sensations, and overstimulation— and on the other with exhaustion, risk, and injury. For the past century, hyperbolic exertion has been the new standard. Representations of the body in motion include the transformation of the body itself into a speeding object, gymnastics and popular athleticism in the early 20th century, natural and artificial improvements in physical culture, stimulants and tranquilizers, and the remedies associated with stimulants. Among speed’s pharmaceutical avatars are caffeine, cocaine, amphetamines, and the active ingredients in energy drinks. With the increasing tempo of existence, the contemplative attitude (once the defining
feature of mental life) gives way to the emergence of a powerful mode of real-time, on-the-fly deliberation based on quick thinking, fast reflexes and intensified eye-hand coordination, and simultaneous processing of multiple data streams. Modern humanity continues its struggle to acquire the cognitive skill-set and forms of intelligence required to sustain the pace and navigate the complexity of a world perpetually on the move.

KAIJŪ! MONSTER INVASION!
M
By Tom Gregersen, Cultural Director, Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens MONSTERS HAVE INVADED Morikami Muse-
um this summer as vintage toys from the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, inspired by Japanese tokusatsu films and TV shows, appear on display in, Kaijū! Monster Invasion! The exhibition features over 100 figures from the extensive private collection of Dr. James Levy. Kaijū—characters used to write this word have the meaning of “strange beast”—are monsters presented in the context of science fiction rather than folklore, and have been potent expressions of Japanese popular culture for over half a century. Beginning with the release of the film Gojira (Godzilla) in 1954, kaijū of all types have captured the imagination of legions of fans worldwide and have spawned a lucrative toy industry that endures to this day.
CREATURE FEATURES
Kaijū were imagined and created to appear in
special effects movies and television programs in which stuntmen portrayed them by wearing rubber suits and moved about on a set of miniatures to simulate great size. The monsters were the products of unfettered imaginations in the design departments of motion picture production companies, most notably Tsuburaya Productions, founded by special effects master Eiji Tsuburaya. The designs of the monsters were inspired by a variety of sources, including dinosaurs, insects, plants, marine life, and robots, to name a few. Very often, designers combined elements from more than one of these sources, and others as well, to create their fantastic creatures. These movie and TV monsters inspired a host of soft vinyl toys that began appearing in the 1960s. Figures were designed in the likenesses of the monsters that appeared on both the big and small screens, then molds were made for mass production, but manufacturing soft vinyl toys was mainly a cottage industry. The final steps in

preparing figures for market were carried out by individual artisans who brought a certain creativity and individuality to each piece. Figures were painted by hand—early figures from the ’60s and ’70s appear to have been brush-painted while those that are more recent, or even contemporary, have colors applied by airbrushes—insuring that each was unique in some way while, at the same time, conforming to a general set of standards. A certain thoughtful decision-making process governed the final outcome of a piece.
MONSTER APPEAL
The individuality of the final product, resulting from the artisan’s vision and skill set, has gained importance today as young artists create and promote limited editions of art-toy figures, taking over all aspects of the creation process from conception to finished product. While early artisans probably did not think of themselves as doing anything especially creative, the figures they produced fascinated young artists decades later who wanted to emulate the early toys with self-consciously applied color schemes of their
own. Some even began creating creatures in the spirit of the early toys, even if the monsters themselves never appeared in actual television shows. Rather, they were inspired to create by the outrageous, compelling, and fascinating look of the monsters born in the studios of production companies like Tsuburaya Productions. This urge to create and recreate the monsters of the ’60s and ’70s motivated artist toy makers not only in Japan but all around the world.
FEAR FACTOR
While extremely popular and inspirational, these grotesque creatures appear to have originated in a dark place within the human psyche. They seem to express our basest fears of the consequences of humankind’s careless exploitation of science and technology. Some have been called

nation of Rwanda, one million ethnic Tutsi people were slaughtered in a genocide committed by their Hutu countrymen. The scars left by these murderers go well beyond the death toll—they live on, in the lives of the women they held captive and raped. Some 20,000 children were born as a result of the genocide, and 15 years later, the mothers of these children still face enormous challenges, including the stigma of bearing and raising a child fathered by a Hutu militiaman. Over the past 3 years, photographer Jonathan Torgovnik has documented the stories of these women. The portraits and testimonies featured in Intended Consequences offer intensely personal and honest accounts of these survivors’ experiences. The project has deeply moved the photographer: “It’s changed my life and the way I do things and look at things...It’s important for me to tell these stories.

is a visually uplifting exhibit featuring a series of related posters produced by artist, illustrator, furniture maker and filmmaker, Philip Brooker, for the inaugural year of the Miami Poster Project, a brand-new initiative. The exhibit’s intent is to update Miami’s visual image—to provide visual content that is a reflection of the complex and fascinating place that is Miami, and to break from the frequently stale and tourist-industry-driven images we are so familiar with and so often used to represent Miami. A master of digital imagery, Philip Brooker uses his talent to create posters that excite and inspire. These posters are often comprised of a collage of many images, some found and some drawn, incorporating multiple scenes and perspectives, vibrant palettes and a whimsical sense of humor. “The digital medium bit me and hasn’t let go. It’s still a miracle to me how one can take a photo or scan in a document

RENOWNED CUBAN ARTIST,
Carlos Garaicoa, addresses politics and ideologies through the examination of the contemporary city. Architecture, urbanism, modernism, history, politics and human rights are all elements he utilizes in his art to open a dialogue with viewers. “The visual arts, like literature, music, or any other artistic language, are platforms on which to discuss social and political issues, and for exercising our critical commitment towards society. I believe in art that is still capable of creating meaning, where the role of an artist and an intellectual as bearer of that meaning is the most important component. Supreme beauty can originate and be extracted from that social commitment.” La enmienda que hay en mí features works in a variety of media, many of which are serial.

VOLF ROITMAN: From MADI
to the Ludic Revolution is a series of major works celebrating the 60-year-long career of Uruguayan painter, sculptor, architect, novelist, playwright, filmmaker and humorist Volf Roitman, who passed away in April of 2010. The exhibition explores the LUDIC, or playfulness and whimsy—the basis of his creations—and includes a splendid array of motorized, kinetic works of a humorous style. His newest innovations include giant MADI banners and MADI lightboxes. Some say MADI stands for “Movimiento Artistico De Invencion” or “MAterialismo DIalectismo (Dialectical Materialism).” MADI integrates complexity with playfulness by focusing on geometric shapes that spill out of the traditional frame and articulated mobile structures—wall pieces become light boxes, sculpture is robotic, objects move in space and change from every vista. Volf’s large interactive works include kinetic sculpture and mathematical puzzle pieces 2010

New York City The galleries. . .
WITH OVER 600 ART G A L L E R I E S , “The Big Apple” is
the planet’s premier marketplace for contemporary art and host to the most extraordinary and cutting-edge exhibitions, featuring a mind-blowing display of global talent. Over the past 10 years, more than 250 galleries have moved into the Chelsea area of Manhattan alone. Galleries have taken over many of the city’s former warehouse and industrial spaces—revitalizing neighborhoods and creating wonderful new walkable arts districts. And although a vast majority of galleries feature contemporary art, you will find the finest in every genre of visual art and expression here. A leisurely stroll through the city’s gallery districts is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, transporting yourself to a world of inspiration and artful bliss. On the following pages, On View presents a sampling of New York City’s outstanding galleries. O n V iew
