what many people think of when they dream of art — the opening, the wine, the women, the … crap

Danziger Gallery :Two tales

Posted on Posted in art biz, dye transfer, The Gallery

the art is the prompt — it isn’t the print, it is the point. a test of our time..

it ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it …

One pill makes you popular … The other makes you crawl..

The vertigo project is about dye transfer and motion picture some thing a few of the weekend photographers pay heed to and certainly not those under the age of 40. The movie is from grandpa’s time..

The other project, the other pill ,the one that’s tough to swallow is based on an AI of an icon , and an iconic image. also from grandpa’s time ,but it has stronger weekend following … a following that drinks Starbucks not hills brothers coffee.. that Coffee can of Ansel’s 

Lesson: if you’re going to appropriate , or extend, do it using ancient revered tools ; maybe hand coated emulsions– some toning, but hard to notice — be careful in appropriation… being right is often wrong .

I wager that if you had done a hand colorized dye transfer it would’ve gone unnoticed ..or, included the Ansel Adams gift shop brigade a cut.

and whatever you do never make a Stained glass Version and treat it as though it were a church window; The altar burning coffee wicks..

it goes to show , you never can tell 

The past you choose, the past you follow determines your  followers , your future.

by the way-- i think AI did a better job than AA.

and ‘ Lo Schiavo tells The Art Newspaper. “More generally, I find AI-generated photography of little interest, and I rarely find it artistically rewarding. On another note, I think the amount of hate these topics generate is a bit scary, but also a sign of the uncertainty AI is creating for creators and artists.” — https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2026/05/27/ansel-adams-photograph-ai-colourised-danziger-aipad-controversy

The Good of others. Artists.
Ywahentetha’. “We put you before others in our spirits.” As curators, we believe our role is to bring artists and their works into dialogue with each other in such a way as to amplify their power, the love that resides in and emanates from them … VU, a place worth remembering ..

[ Since 1981, VU has foregrounded the diversity of artistic practices in photography, supported artists in the production of their work, and offered them the space and freedom to create. The centre contributes to current thinking about photography by encouraging the deepening of artistic experience through a program of varied activities. ]

PART …. UNIFORM OF THE DAY --ranger

The new test is completed wearing combat uniforms and boots. In 14 minutes, soldiers must complete:
* An 800-meter run.
* 30 dead-stop push-ups.
* a 100-meter sprint.
* 16 lifts of 40-pound sandbags onto a 68-inch platform.
* 50-meter “farmers’ carry” of two 40-pound water cans.
* A 25-meter high crawl, 25-meter three-to-five second rush.
* A final 800-meter run.
After that, soldiers will change into their physical fitness uniform and run four miles within 32 minutes followed by six chin-ups.
By illuminating the plantation dynamics that make college football a particularly racialized form of exploitation, the book makes legible the forms of physical sacrifice that are required, the ultimate cost in health and well-being, and the coercion that drives players into the sport and compels them to endure such abusive conditions.

The Ugly: chabad cowards
Cowards’ insurrection: the perfect example a group of people who create or commit violence against a US citizen while owing allegiance and fealty to a foreign state, or members of that foreign state. This is terrorist insurrection. On tape by the hundreds. They captured their crime pridefully. How many have turned themselves in for reward. How many have been rebuked by their Rabbi… rabid mitzvahs
