Numbers, 2011

digital prints, push pins

Poesia del parque's statement:

This work is a series of ten images, the results of a digital game the artist invented with the ten basic numbers. Instead of the typical numeric values, each number was provided with values of size and colour. The play took place with kaleidoscopic methods and it ended up in a visual form.
This game did not deal with incomes and outcomes but it did un-link the ten numbers from socio-economic connotations, subtracting each one of them from all adult meaning and releasing them in a playful and childlike way, to new and perhaps more liberating possibilities.

Poesia del parque lives and works in the UK.

Jörg Bivendørf

BIO

Jörg Bivendørf was born on the island Hopen. At age 79, fed up with the secrecy of his possible parents among the four resident researchers at the weather station, he stole a wagon and set sail for Biarritz. Seventeen months later, barely dry, he drifted up on the shores of Barentsburg and took a cab to Longyearbyen. He found Svalbard an ideal place for fashion inspiration because of the pessimistic temperature readings. For Jörg, more layers equals more Fashion.
Jörg was named for his Swedish grandmother Jörgina VIII, who is credited with coining the term "you wanna make a muffin? When he was born, realizing he was completely naked, Jörg began fashioning garments out of necessity. His first design was the totally organic and original Seal Chaps ™.
Nowadays, Jörg chooses Longmont, Colorado for his collaborations with Beauty due to the friendly and professional service at The Cheese Importers.http://www.cheeseimporters.com

A compendium of  Jörg's avant fashion adverts is available here.

The Highland Path, 2010

soil, moss, bone, shotgun shell casings, feathers and other natural paraphernalia

Artist's Statement:

Nature has no alphabet or written word.
Yet to writers and poets, words exist within the topography
and are there to be found if one searches. 
These "lost" words hide beneath the brambles, within the moss,
or float in the air as sounds or songs.
The flora and fauna contribute their lexis throughout the landscape,
with bleached bones, old stones or other refuse,
waiting for an interpreter to turn their words to language.

Matthew Hereford lives and walks in Cold Spring NY.
