Paintant Modalities

 

Paintants: Rope Paintings modes 2001 (Non Digital Modes)

Cologne Subway

This is a proposal for the new Cologne Subway system in Germany. 

The piece consists of a painting visible from the platform that continues into the tunnel.  As the train enters the tunnel, passengers will see the painting transform into a series of in-tunnel motion picture displays.  These images will appear as an animation as the train speeds up.

Unfortunately, it has been put temporarily put on hold due to a construction accident involving the City Archives.   In the meantime, a high quality publication is being made of the Submissions. 

 

Fold out project, Art Journal

I have a project published in the current issue of Art Journal Magazine, curated by Katy Siegel.  It is a fold out insert with instructions to assemble a miniature paintant titled Black Hole $ Paintant.

Baltasar A co-production of Slagwerk Den Haag en VocaalLab

“… The Dutch/Argentinean composer Claudio Baroni uses five singers and four percussionists as well as electronics and video animation to create a multidisciplinary spectacle that promises to be a memorable finale to November Music 2010... Images, music, and texts merge seamlessly and unexpectedly reinforce each other. This music theatre project is the result of a one of a kind collaboration between composer Claudio Baroni, writer Reinaldo Laddaga, and visual artist Fabian Marcaccio. The narrative tells the amazing story of a group of ragged militants plotting an attack on a mysterious hotel, helped by a child, their ultimate mascot…”

“For the Siqueiros Hall of Public Art, Marcaccio uses the space originally assigned for Maternidad and Mural para una escuela en el Estado de México, 1971 – 1973, -murals produced by David A. Siqueiros which are currently being restored- and projects a paintant that divides the cubic spaces into dynamic triangles by means of a diagonal support with images and material. With-ject Mexico is proposed as a visual dichotomy that echoes Siqueiros’ work in a spatial, formal and ideological sense, which shoring up various forms of territoriality that have to do with the altered body, organic material and a sinister abstraction of various signs of the media’s power.

Fabián Marcaccio proposes his mural as “an action painting for the participant” that encourages “thinking in a pictorial time-space” and promotes a combination of spatial approaches and experiences denoting the complexity of the pictorial object…”
