The post Curator 3.4 first appeared on Curator.

Bernd and Hilla Becher photo-archived the industrialisation during the mid 20th century.
Coal mine tipples, water tower, furnaces, industrial facade, grain silos and elevators, urban development and transport infrastructure around the factory site.
Their pictures collection display factories’ architecture across Germany. The exploration of the industrial landscape led both to explore and document Europe and the USA with a similar method.
Bernd and Hilla Becher assembled their series using typology and rigorous classifications. Their scientific approach is most visually shown through the view angle of each typologic series.

Single board presents a simple striking visual effect. It is almost the same building, repeated over and over, with some slight differences.
The grid is used as a graphic tool to assemble the pictures. The resulting visual clusters re-inforce the obvious similarities inbetween the buildings.

Why we like it:
• It’s fascinating to see the dedication and patience taking the pictures and organising them.
• Looking at the colossal tasks this represents, it is exciting to see how Curator could help a similar undertaking.

Skin Deep [text reads: Sometimes a traveler in foreign lands / Where customs and mores are unfamiliar / Will find / Persistance / And perusal / Mean consent.]

Snap Shot [text reads: Sometimes a traveler in foreign lands / Where customs and mores are unfamiliar / Will find to his surprise / That in certain places / And in certain times / Resistance / And refusal / Mean consent.]

Vermeer’s Wife [text reads: When his estranged teacher Carl Fabritus died unexpectedly and under unusual circumstances, the news much delayed, reached Vermeer’s wife by letter.]

The Détournement process was initially developed by the Letterist and the Situationist art movements, later popularised by the Punk movement and 80’s culture jamming practices.

Why we like it:
• The question of the original and the copy surfaces trough the détournement nature of her work.
• The juxtaposition of apparently unrelated images, force the viewer to create his/her own narration; thus revealing more about our individual inner world than commenting on the external world.
• Could you re-use her re-used work and create a different meaning/narration?

Solar Burn in the time it takes sunlight to reach the Earth 1/30/77

Why we like it:
• The process, like the medium is simple. The juxtaposition and repetition create an obsessive observation of the phenomenon.
• The grid is a tool that helps present content in a clear and meaningful way. By removing visual distinction, the grid helps the viewer focus. The essential differences and relationships created throughout the visual information become narration. The artist removes specifics of individual pieces and encourage the viewers to focus on the essential differences, and the repetition of the process.
• The Sun is 150 million km away from our planet Earth. Light travels at 300,000 km/s. It took 500 seconds, or 8 minutes and 33 seconds for the light to travel and come burn the paper.
• The sun is drawing a portrait of itself.
