Giuliano
Photo Collage on View in New York
The Painting Center
52 Greene Street
Soho, New York City
June 23-July 20
Opening: June 24, 6-8 PM
A recent photo collage by Charles Giuliano, Nam June Paik
at the Guggenheim, is included in a group exhibition,
Multi, including members of the faculty of the New
England School of Art and Design at Suffolk University.
The work will be on view, from June 23 through July 20,
at the Painting Center, at 52 Greene Street, in New
York's Soho gallery section.
The exhibition features a broad range of media and styles
by the artists, Ilona Anderson, Paul Andrade, Harry
Bartnick, Linda Leslie Brown, Charles Giuliano, Audrey
Goldstein, Janet Hansen-Kawada, Susan Nichter, Steve
Novick, Randal Thurston and Debra Weisberg.
The deconstructed, cubist inspired view of the interior
of the Guggenheim Museum documenting, an installation by
the Korean born, video artist, Nam June Paik, is typical
of work that Giuliano, a well known Boston art critic,
has been developing for over a decade.
The image is not a reproduction but rather an
interpretation of the dramatic architectural site. The
base of Paik's installation, a round, broad circle of
television monitors, facing upward, becomes the metaphor
for a cyber pond from which grows a lazer tree reaching
toward the domed roof. The individual tesserae of this
photo mosaic adhere enough to the original pattern to
promote immediate recognition and deviate sufficiently to
create an entirely new and dynamic interpretation of this
altered perception.
During the late 1980s, Giuliano began to take landscape
and architectural photos during frequent travel in
Europe, New England and Canada. These evolved over time
from literal to deconsructive interpretations of often
familiar and iconic monuments.
In addition to running the exhibition program and
teaching at NESAD at SU, Giuliano is a columnist for Art
New England. His critical writing has appeared on the
Internet Sidewalk (Microsoft Network) and City Search
sites. He is represented by Creiger Dane Gallery in
Boston.
