Charcoal Videos

The rainforests of the Brazilian Amazon, the most biologically diverse place on Earth, are shrinking by tens of thousands of square kilometers a year. About 60 to 70 percent of that deforestation occurs as rancher cut, burn and bulldoze trees, often illegally, to create pastures for the country?s burgeoning cattle industry. In recent years, Brazil has become the largest exporter of beef and, not coincidentally, one of the largest polluters in the world. Fires from the burning forests and the ovens that heat the wood into charcoal fill the skies. The cattle, too, are responsible for methane gases. ?Every year in the dry season, the rainforest is burning. If it?s not the rainforest, it?s the pastures,? says Lohuizen. Even nature preserves, such as Terra do Meio, are not safe from the illegal deforestation.

James Kalm visits the latest offerings from a well known proponent of the Pictures Generation Robert Longo. Coming on the New York scene like gangbusters in the late 70s, the cool kids of the Pictures Generation were seen as fashionable radicals melding deadpan representation appropriated from photos and the mass media with a hermetic post conceptual theory. With this body of drawings, the artists has moved away from his large figures and is instead focused on the effects of atmosphere in landscapes and large interior spaces, presenting a Post-Modern Romanticism.

James Kalm creeps up to catch an unexpected view of the artists Joyce Pesto as she works intensely in the chaotic jumble of her drawing installation. As a longtime member of the Williamsburg art community, Pensato is well known for her heavily worked paintings and drawings. Through her process of addition, erasure, and correction these charcoal drawings attain a quality of tender decay, and embody the evidence of an unrelenting desire to pursue perfection. The prospect of color is a new direction that enlivens the artist s signature palette of black and white.
