SHORT RUN, POP UP SHOW
This weekend only

Natural Static

work by Jonathan Chomko

curated by Brian

Open Hours:

Friday, 9/22-Sunday 9/24, 2-7pm

Simulation of motion in digital worlds has long been an obsession for animators and artists alike. In Natural Static, Jonathan Chomko questions this desire, asserting that natural motion contains more detail and complexity than any synthetic simulation.

Natural Static is a generative NFT series that feeds video of natural motion into a pixel-based water simulation, creating representations of physical motion that are both highly digital and deeply analog. The pop-up exhibition at Public Works Administration maintains the project's opposition of simulation and reality, displaying NFTs from the series on a tidal wave of screens.

The art exhibition titled "BODIES BODIES BODIES BODIES BODIES" will remain open for public viewing until September 2nd. Curated by Marissa Derrick, the show showcases the works of

Still life painting is a genre that showcases manufactured and natural objects. Despite their seemingly simple nature, these compositions require skilful placement and intricate arrangements, often imbued with symbolic meaning. Flowers, for instance, hold diverse interpretations, with vibrant blooms representing life, faith, growth, and power, while wilting flowers remind us of the fragility of existence. Seashells, another common element in still life paintings, symbolize birth and good fortune. Overall, still life arrangements explore the human relationship to nature, symbolizing our desire to extract it from its natural context and our attraction to its sublime characteristics. Historically, artists like Rachel Ruysch have masterfully employed intricate details and knowledge of flora to create visually stunning and symbolically rich compositions. Whether through the arrangement of objects or the portrayal of the natural world, still life “painting” offers a window into our complex relationship with nature.

Artists today are modernizing still life studies with digital tools such as photography, 3D rendering, and digital manipulation. A still life doesn't have to be static anymore. These artists push the boundaries of the genre and infuse it with a fresh perspective.
