I have been thinking about the relationship between art and invention for a few years now. Technology, science and art have always lived in the same realms, with Creativity as the link.

The first 3D optical scanner was invented by a French sculptor, Francois Willeme.

The telegraph system was invented by an American painter, Samuel Morse, whose life long wish was to make America the country for high art and culture, to leave something for mankind and change the world.

Louis Daguerre, was a realist painter, who famously went on to invent photography and produce the Daguerreotype.

The idea for the telescope is thought to have come from both spectacle-making artisans and magicians who used various magnifying lenses to play with perception. The magicians, of course, did not receive recognition for their experiments in expanding perception.

It is arguable that many well known inventions / technological systems were born of the ideas of artists and creative people, who never received credit for their work. One possible reason for this, as mentioned by Simon Penny in his essay"Bridging Two Cultures: Toward an Interdisciplinary History of the Artist-Inventor and the Machine-Artwork", is that the art community retains a practice of freely sharing intellectual property while having little power in the legal department as compared to larger companies that often "borrow" the ideas of artists without a single note of credit to the original artist-inventor.

With this thought, and with respect for all the artists who are playing with technologies / machine-making, inventing new uses for technology, or for just having wonderfully crazy ideas that inspire us to imagine, Flanders Gallery is opening it's newest exhibit, "Artist/Inventor" on Friday, January 23rd. The exhibit will remain up into the first week of March.

Exhibiting Artists:
Arthur Ganson
Paul Villinski

LOTTE GEEVEN 127109 & 127110

If you find yourself in New Orleans for the Biennial, check out Lotte Geeven's project at MoMart, part of the Prospect P3+ International Biennial Satellite Program (opening October 25th, 2014).

Lotte exhibited her 24 hour piece "Sovereign" with Flanders in the February 2014 exhibit, "Frames Per Second." It is well worth it to spend some time with her work.

A friendly reminder that our First Friday event for July has been rescheduled for tonight, from 6pm until the crowd slows down. We look forward to seeing you tonight!

Mia Yoon's exhibition, Color Elements, shows us a playful exploration of color relationships. Gradients between highly saturated colors are the focus of her paintings which show us bright bands of color acting upon larger fields of color. These fields of color are treated with a softness that offers…

Skill in painting is preferred but not required.
