The Shapetionary

Call For Submissions: Help Create the Shapetionary! What is the Shapetionary? It’s a visual index of objects. It started from looking at the dictionary and wondering why some words are illustrated and others aren’t, then thinking it would be interesting to illustrate the whole dictionary, or all the object nouns...then organize them by shape. So I extracted all, or most (aprox 9500), of the object nouns, now I am setting out to get them illustrated by as many different people as possible. I am interested in our subjective/collective understandings of objects. So far over 550 people are participating, I estimate that between 1200-1500 drawers are needed. That’s a brief description. So, if you are interested in illustrating some words, email velvetbicycle and you will receive a list of 6-8 words, along with complete instructions. All participants will be acknowledged. Questions and comments can be directed to: Margaret Flood velvetbicycle@hotmail.com

Pendu Gallery

In 1896, a nasally-voiced character in a cheaply-made costume appeared on a stage before a bewildered bourgeois audience and uttered the word MERDRE! The crowd went into a rage, a mob fight ensued and it was fifteen minutes before the play could resume. The character’s name was Ubu, an invention of the mind of Alfred Jarry when he 15 years old. Crude, juvenile, and scatological, this “low-comedy” theatre piece has left a permanent mark on modern art from the Dadaists and onward. The word MERDRE comes from the French word “merde” meaning shit. The extra “r” is an invention of Jarry’s adding a personal touch to the vulgarity and making the word nonsensical and absurd. Ubu is a grotesque creation that makes us laugh and simultaneously comments on a bourgeois, hypocritical and inhuman society. In this exhibition of drawings and animated GIFs we can hear the shrill voice of Ubu resonating today. Merdre! is a curated exhibition of drawings and animated GIFs expressing the anarchic, democratic, anyone-can-do-it spirit of low-tech art. This international group of artists create an art of resistance to an impersonal culture taking cues from graffiti, comic books, illustration, outsider art, folk art, video games, pop culture, and their own imagination armed with basic drawing utensils, any surface to draw on, and a working knowledge of scanners, photography software and some HTML. What is low-tech art? Low-tech implies handmade or handcrafted works of art. For this exhibition, the term applies more specifically to artists who in a high-tech world deliberately choose the unrefined over the polished. This is low-tech connoting a playful, irreverent, whimsical and deliberately amateurish approach to art. It’s making art with whatever materials are at hand and making it cheaply. It’s about humor, irony, expression, and the personal. Drawing Drawings of invented characters, monsters, strange animals, and imaginary creatures fill these pages with scenes that are both cute and macabre. These works range from line drawings, to child-like scribble, to complex, and everything in between. Artists use anything from pencils and charcoals to pens and magic markers to white out / etc. on every conceivable surface. Animated GIFs The animated GIF is creating an aesthetic all its own. Designers all but abandoned it in the last few years due to its poor quality and constraints on creativity; however it has gained popularity in the underground for the same reasons it was abandoned. Artists are using GIFs to create humorous ironic artworks by animating scanned drawings, digital photos, or mousedrawn art and utilizing ridiculously glitzy effects found in most computer photography programs. This in itself is an ironic use of the computer; a notoriously high-tech machine being used for low-tech ends. Merdre! launches in March of 2007 and will remain online as a permanent collection and archive. Additionally, a limited edition catalog of drawings by 50 artists will be printed in November 2007. Todd Brooks, Director of Pendu Gallery
