POCKET TO ME Wondering what to wear to your next office party? The Logitech Pocket Digital camera ($130) looks like a posh cigarette case and easily slips into a dinner jacket. The camera is only half an inch thick, but it packs an impressive 1.3-megapixel resolution and can store 52 images. If the party gets wild, you can snap every embarrassing moment...
...centerpiece of the show is the 8 inch by 42.75 inch print “Untitled (City of Salt),” the two dimensional answer to the central installation on the floor. Various upward pointing buildings with varying degrees of height and intricacy rise seemingly out of nowhere; but in the far distance we see other “miniature cities”—worlds unto themselves that we can never access—and in the foreground, almost unnoticeable at first glance, are two figures, one at left playing a small pipe and the other...
...first group of images—which is also his oldest work—describes Bochner’s investigation of block structures constructed from a systematic arrangement of two-inch cubes. Grid-like and highly organized in both presentation and content, the photographs depict the formation of these assembled cubic modules and their dependence on a mathematically predetermined model. Schematic diagrams that are evidence of the work’s interest in seriality are shown in conjunction with several views of the block structures. As Bochner stated, this series is principally about the process rather than the object. Attempting...
...Playing out these scientific concerns led to photographs of demarcated and measured spatial segments (with their numeric lengths inserted into the scene) in the interior three-dimensional environment of rooms. Bochner became increasingly interested in the representation of scale in a photograph and began developing images of a 12-inch measurement printed to actual size, so that the entire picture was necessarily life-size. At this point, Bochner felt that he had achieved the total deconstruction of photography because the life-size image was exactly as the real-life scene had existed, in which case the photograph was a superfluous...
...dilapidated stairs to the upstairs dining room. Bursting with musical kitsch, the decor includes a picture of a smiling monk sporting a large afro. He looks down benignly on the hungry gospel-seekers who are seated at long tables covered with red-and-white checkered tablecloths. Every last square inch of the walls is covered with assorted bric-a-brac that might look fitting at a tired T.G.I. Friday’s, if only it were cleaned better...
