An Immaterial Survey of Our Peers

Brad Troemel’s latest project is as much an art piece as it is an art show. An Immaterial Survey of Our Peers is a series of images of an exhibition that never took place. The work in the show has been composited into images of the empty gallery. A lot of Troemel’s work, most notably his blog Jogging, raises questions about our physical interaction with art in a digital age. What does it mean for this show to have never existed in a physical space?This made me think back to when I posted Ji Lee’s Parallel World and I wondered if the work was in fact the little miniatures themselves or the photographs of the miniatures. Image making vs object making. Assuming they were physical objects to begin with, what does it mean for them to exist now as non-objects, living on as ones and zeros in a transient space?Read an interesting interview with Brad Troemel here.
