Hey Everyone. This lecture just got posted to the Columbia University YouTube Channel and I though I would share it and feel its important information to know. In addition, Joy is one of my favorite contemporary artists. So if you have the time please check it out. Columbia University in the City of New York introduction by Mark Tribe "Painting Mass Media" Speaker: Joy Garnett Date: September 23, 2004 Art & Technology Lecture Series Joy Garnett is an artist based in New York. She studied painting at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and received her MFA from The City College of New York. Garnett's paintings, based on journalistic photographs she gathers from the Internet, examine the apocalyptic-sublime at the intersections of media, politics and culture. She engages contemporary consumption of media and the delineation between journalistic and artistic images. She takes the digital image itself as her subject and is interested in digital media in general. Her work is often associated with sampling in new media art and with appropriation art . Controversy surrounding her 2003 painting Molotov has drawn international scrutiny to issues of ownership and fair use in appropriation art. Garnett's work has been reproduced in numerous publications including Harper's, Perspecta: The Yale School of Architecture Journal, and Cabinet magazine. She is a 2004 recipient of a grant from Anonymous Was a Woman.She currently serves as Arts Editor at Cultural Politics, a contemporary culture, politics and media journal.
