Monkey Painter by Lucy Hogg 2022 (Excerpts)
Monkey Painter is a story I wrote over the first Covid year. I quit painting 15 years ago, and when people asked me why I said I could write a book about it.
It took another year to clean it up, finalized just a day before Pan Wendt’s install of « RE: visiting » at the Confederation Centre Art Gallery, on view this summer, 2022. The gallery converted it into an mp4, a timed two hour slide dissolve (many thanks to Brentan Edwards). We are showing it on a flat screen tv.
Available here are a few excerpts from the sequence of 216 pages. Please contact me if you would like to receive a copy of the complete pdf.
Art School by Lucy Hogg 2021
This project started about ten years ago, when I knew my Art School teaching days were numbered. As a photo essay, it is a wander through the studios at the Corcoran College of Art, American University, and University of Maryland, ranging from foundation classrooms to grad school studios. It includes an essay by Josh Shannon, my colleague from UMD, who teaches contemporary art history and has written extensively about the fate of art in the latter half of the 20th century.
Each image is in some ways a portrait of a student. The sets of relationships between the images constitute what could be a long teaching day, moving from one space to the next, adapting to the changing material circumstances and their suggestive possibilities.
The pdf represents a boxed portfolio (7" x 24") of thirty-six triptych prints on hahnemuhle photo rag paper, with texts and an index in a linen bound clamshell box. Art School's other manifestation is as a set of large banner prints, 24” x 99”, now rolled up in storage, to be exhibited some day…
