BOCA # 4

SURE INVESTMENT

WINTHROP JONES

We hear it all the time: “Jacques, Jorge, I love the artworks, but what happens to my investment if a computer virus destroys my harddrive?”

While this rarely prevents collectors from purchasing work (we have a number of encrypted cloud back-up solutions to prevent this very scenario), it does create hesitancy in the marketplace.

Winthrop Jones’ new conceptual artwork presents an ironclad investment: Purchase the work (a framed contextual advertisement) and own the rights to the page’s ad revenue!

A guaranteed return on your investment for as long as this website is trafficked.

BOCA #2

DRAWING ON ANONYMOUS

FEATURING:

ANONYMOUS + SELECTED FACEBOOK USERS

A debate rages over the Internet’s most ideal social arrangement. Is it anonymous, typified by 4chan’s collective user group of self-motivated, self-counted hacktivists?

Or is it a virtual correlate of the inalienable physical self, as typified by Facebook’s legions of persona extending users?

Drawing on Anonymous presents MSPaint drawings of Facebook users in the Anonymous vernacular.  These images are available for license as potentially universal memes.

BOCA #1

MINIMIZE

FEATURING:

JASON HARVEY, JON RAFMAN, JULIAN GARCIA, MATT GOERZEN, PETRA CORTRIGHT, JOHN TRANSUE, JEREMY DABROWSKI, TYSON PARKS and TRAVESS SMALLEY

Digital painting and sculpture can be seen as a return to the modernist project abandoned in the wake of minimalism. Where physical materials formally exhausted themselves, digital materials offer new avenues for formal exploration and refinement.

The works gathered in this collection represent a new formal austerity, one which provides a starting point rather than an end point.

Opened February 26, 2011.

OFF-BOCA #1

ARCH-TEXTURE

COLLABORATION WITH:

CANADIAN CENTRE FOR ARCHITECTURE

Thanks to the CCA for a great collaboration during Montreal’s 2011 Nuit Blanche.

Tyson Parks created a motion capture painting device open to public interaction.

He then projected a series of brush strokes painted and animated by Matt Goerzen over the building’s facade, exploring architecture and painting’s shared textural foundations.
