David GoldesThe Future in the Present2012
2012
About the Item
Goldes’ photographic still lifes are inspired by two 19th century publications that were aimed at stimulating the scientific minds of children—Michael Faraday’s 1861 classic, The Chemical History of the Candle, and C.V. Boys’ 1889 Soap Bubbles and the Forces that Mold Them. Using these texts as a starting point, Goldes reenacts and interprets the historical experiments with particular sensitivity to the fragility and ephemerality of the materials involved. His modern versions are constructed from simple everyday household articles such as burning candles, string, soap bubbles, water, and wax paper.

Sunburned GSP#871 (Great Salt Lake, Utah)
By Chris McCaw
Located in New York, NY
Sunburned GSP#871 (Great Salt Lake, Utah), 2015
Gelatin Silver Paper Negative
Unique
12" x 20" (30.5 x 51 cm)
Framed: 15 5/16" x 23 15/16" (39 x 59 cm)
Chris McCaw builds his own large-format cameras and outfits them with powerful lenses typically used for military surveillance and aerial reconnaissance. Instead of film, McCaw inserts expired fiber-based gelatin silver photo paper directly into the camera. Pointing the lens at the sun, McCaw makes recordings ranging from thirty seconds to as long as 36 hours. The sun, intensified by the lens, scorches its path across the paper while creating a solarized image of the landscape or seascape below – a “direct positive” image made in-camera, without an intervening negative. These burned lines and holes are tangible traces of the act of making each photograph: marking time, recording location, mapping weather conditions and channeling light.
