STUDIO WORK: NSK ELECTRONIC TRANSIT VISA


Exemplar of a series of prints being created in conjuction with the
NSK valise project (collaboration with the Retrogarde Reading Room):







The increased usage of QR codes with smart phones inspired the creation of
a means to electronically connect seamlessly with web elements of the NSK State.
This is a fully functional code to direct the traveler / citizen
to www.nskstate.com, though its efficacy as such on brown paper is yet untested.

EXHIBITION: WORKING IN WONDER, WALSH GALLERY

Working in Wonder
Walsh Gallery, Seton Hall University
January 18 – February 11, 2011
Opening Reception: January 27th, 2011
Symposium: Modern/Contemporary Art and the Curiosity Cabinet, February 5th, 2011, 10:00AM




Working in Wonder” includes artwork in various media by artists that have been inspired by the Curiosity Cabinet, a historical era of collecting occurring between 1500 and 1700.  The exhibit explores the connection between man-made and natural objects or artificialia and naturalia.

Excerpt from exhibition catalogue:

"David K.Thompson forms analagous comparisons in Compendium: Ceci n'est pas une Coquille, which expose the farcical nature of truth and fact.  Like Osti and Perrin, Thompson works subversively , with 'official language' to convey his message."
