Olympic Speed Skating Floor

Olympic Speed Skating Floor

Artist: Barbara Astman

Work ID: 54031

Description: Calgary Winter Olympics '88, I designed and installed a 1,300 square ft. inlaid floor created for the Olympic Speed Skating Oval. The material used was Marmoleum which was cut and inlaid as a mosaic. The building had been designed but not yet completed prior to the art competition. The art floor leads into the 4,000 seating area for the spectators during events. The floor had to withstand a heavy traffic flow and all of the technical rigours of a public use floor, while maintaining an aesthetic and conceptual rigour. The design of the floor echos a heroic entrance and plays with perspective. It is contemporary yet maintains a sense of history throughout the design.

Measurements: 1,300 square feet.

Ground Cover, Bay/Hayter Public Art Project

Artist: Barbara Astman

Work ID: 54030

Description: Ground Cover, Bay/Hayter Public Art Project, Hayter Developments, Toronto, Ontario. In this integrated art/architecture project, I designed the sidewalks that surround the developers building on the front (east) and south sides of the building. Each of the five, 20 x 20 in. concrete pavers has a different leaf pattern image on it that was based on the landscape designers planting proposal. The actual leaves were utilized to make the plugs which were used too make the molds. I had the concrete custom designed in terms of colour and texture and then the pavers were hand poured. The surface of the concrete was then acid etched to reveal the colour, texture and sparkle. The resulting pavers appear as though they were fossils. Both entrances to the building have a sandblasted leaf pattern on the glass to continue the image up the walls.

Measurements: 5, 50.8 x 50.8 cm concrete pavers

Baycrest Portal Project

Baycrest Portal Project

Artist: Barbara Astman

Work ID: 54028

Description: The Portal Project, Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care, Toronto, Ontario. This integrated art and architecture project involves designing entrances to the home units. The objective of the project is to give each home unit its own identity, a distinguishable marker to help the client know that they are home. I was awarded two of the portals and have designed two distinct images. Each image was reproduced twelve times and then installed at the appropriate portal on each of the six floors of the building. The image covers both sides of the portal and the ceiling area directly between them will be painted with a specific colour. The photo-murals were digitally produced on a wallpaper type material which was adhered directly to the given walls. The scale of each portal wall image is four feet by eight feet. Installation was completed in January, 2000.

Artist: Barbara Astman

Work ID: 54019

Description: from the series, Dancing with Che.

The most recent body of work, Dancing with Che, evolved out of a brief visit to Havana, where images of the revolutionary leader, Che Guevara, appear everywhere, from public art, fridge magnets, coffee mugs to key chains. I became interested in his image and the issues surrounding this historical figure viewed as a pop culture icon. This series also developed out of the complexity of experiencing a foreign culture, while being acutely aware of existing outside of that culture. I was attracted to the rhythms, sounds of the street and sensuousness and spirit of the people. It is in this spirit that I have used my body to animate Che, to re-create what I felt and experienced while there. There are thirty-one murals in the series, which create a rhythm when viewed sequentially. The three-foot square digital images were specifically printed at this scale to present Che as larger than life. It is with humour and affection rather than any political agenda, that I present this private performance for the camera where Che became my dance partner.

Artist: Barbara Astman

Work ID: 54010

Description: from the series, Dancing with Che.

The most recent body of work, Dancing with Che, evolved out of a brief visit to Havana, where images of the revolutionary leader, Che Guevara, appear everywhere, from public art, fridge magnets, coffee mugs to key chains. I became interested in his image and the issues surrounding this historical figure viewed as a pop culture icon. This series also developed out of the complexity of experiencing a foreign culture, while being acutely aware of existing outside of that culture. I was attracted to the rhythms, sounds of the street and sensuousness and spirit of the people. It is in this spirit that I have used my body to animate Che, to re-create what I felt and experienced while there. There are thirty-one murals in the series, which create a rhythm when viewed sequentially. The three-foot square digital images were specifically printed at this scale to present Che as larger than life. It is with humour and affection rather than any political agenda, that I present this private performance for the camera where Che became my dance partner.

The most recent body of work, Dancing with Che, evolved out of a brief visit to Havana, where images of the revolutionary leader, Che Guevara, appear everywhere, from public art, fridge magnets, coffee mugs to key chains. I became interested in his image and the issues surrounding this historical figure viewed as a pop culture icon. This series also developed out of the complexity of experiencing a foreign culture, while being acutely aware of existing outside of that culture. I was attracted to the rhythms, sounds of the street and sensuousness and spirit of the people. It is in this spirit that I have used my body to animate Che, to re-create what I felt and experienced while there. There are thirty-one murals in the series, which create a rhythm when viewed sequentially. The three-foot square digital images were specifically printed at this scale to present Che as larger than life. It is with humour and affection rather than any political agenda, that I present this private performance for the camera where Che became my dance partner.

Description: The Newspaper Series works present images of many year's worth of daily newspapers which the artist has collected. This body of work deals with a fascination veering towards obsession with mass media communication and its influence on reality, memory and history. Seen from a distance, the individual strips resemble strips of human DNA. On closer examination, Astman has deliberately chosen to highlight, through the folding and marking of certain pages, stories of tragedy, scandal, triumph and everyday life. As the artist notes, her images play on our obsession with media and the contradictory aspects of newspapers as vehicles of compromised communication.

Wonderland 08

Wonderland 08

Artist: Barbara Astman

Work ID: 72560

Description: There are endless possibilities for narratives within found objects. Astman is fascinated with postcards acting as syntheses between personal memories and a constructed reality. In On Photography, Susan Sontag speaks of motives of collecting images from which stories flourish: "To collect photographs is to collect the world. Movie and television programs light up walls, flicker, and go out; but with still photographs the image is also an object, lightweight, cheap to produce, easy to carry about, accumulate, store". Postcards represent a quintessential moment where photography becomes object.

Using digital techniques to position the postcards within negative space, Astman captures the feeling of flipping through stacks; harnessing a tension between motion and stillness. The body of work is about the relationship between the real and the artificial, and how experience can occur through artificial representation of the real.

The idea of collecting is significant, as a collection is a form of record in one's life. As a child, postcards and encyclopedias made Astman realize there was a larger world outside of her neighborhood. She would stare at the postcard long enough to imagine herself being there, preferring the postcard version of reality. Astman is most interested in the postcards that represent a naive world void of worldly problems.

Pre-digital postcards present an intersection of photography, printmaking, drawing and painting with their heavily re-worked and refined imagery. Photographing these postcards re-enforces the multitude of reproductions that make up popular culture, and the complex and involved relationship contemporary culture has with the past.

Description: There are endless possibilities for narratives within found objects. Astman is fascinated with postcards acting as syntheses between personal memories and a constructed reality. In On Photography, Susan Sontag speaks of motives of collecting images from which stories flourish: "To collect photographs is to collect the world. Movie and television programs light up walls, flicker, and go out; but with still photographs the image is also an object, lightweight, cheap to produce, easy to carry about, accumulate, store". Postcards represent a quintessential moment where photography becomes object.

Using digital techniques to position the postcards within negative space, Astman captures the feeling of flipping through stacks; harnessing a tension between motion and stillness. The body of work is about the relationship between the real and the artificial, and how experience can occur through artificial representation of the real.

The idea of collecting is significant, as a collection is a form of record in one's life. As a child, postcards and encyclopedias made Astman realize there was a larger world outside of her neighborhood. She would stare at the postcard long enough to imagine herself being there, preferring the postcard version of reality. Astman is most interested in the postcards that represent a naive world void of worldly problems.

Pre-digital postcards present an intersection of photography, printmaking, drawing and painting with their heavily re-worked and refined imagery. Photographing these postcards re-enforces the multitude of reproductions that make up popular culture, and the complex and involved relationship contemporary culture has with the past.

Description: Daily Collage 2009- 2011.
Collage has continually been a part of my art practice in one form or another. This series developed out of my ongoing habit of reading the daily paper, as interested in the visual imagery as the newsworthy articles. There are obvious links between it and the 2006, Newspaper series. I began saving images, which appeared in the daily papers, and would then collage selections onto pages in a small notebook. I was also thinking about Lenny Bruce and how his stand up comedy performances were like oral jazz with nothing censored, translated or mediated. I was not trying to create logical narratives nor was I commenting on the news of the day. I was just responding to the images in a very direct and impulsive way. This work is more about impulse and intuition; I let others create their own narratives from the resulting images. Intuitive thinking.

Collage as an art practice has been a major influence on my work over the years and I have been particularly inspired by the early collage works of Braque and Picasso, the Russian Constructivists and most importantly the German Dada artist Hannah Hoch.

Description: Daily Collage 2009- 2011.
Collage has continually been a part of my art practice in one form or another. This series developed out of my ongoing habit of reading the daily paper, as interested in the visual imagery as the newsworthy articles. There are obvious links between it and the 2006, Newspaper series. I began saving images, which appeared in the daily papers, and would then collage selections onto pages in a small notebook. I was also thinking about Lenny Bruce and how his stand up comedy performances were like oral jazz with nothing censored, translated or mediated. I was not trying to create logical narratives nor was I commenting on the news of the day. I was just responding to the images in a very direct and impulsive way. This work is more about impulse and intuition; I let others create their own narratives from the resulting images. Intuitive thinking.

Collage as an art practice has been a major influence on my work over the years and I have been particularly inspired by the early collage works of Braque and Picasso, the Russian Constructivists and most importantly the German Dada artist Hannah Hoch.

There are obvious links between it and the 2006, Newspaper series. I began saving images, which appeared in the daily papers, and would then collage selections onto pages in a small notebook. I was also thinking about Lenny Bruce and how his stand up comedy performances were like oral jazz with nothing censored, translated or mediated. I was not trying to create logical narratives nor was I commenting on the news of the day. I was just responding to the images in a very direct and impulsive way. This work is more about impulse and intuition; I let others create their own narratives from the resulting images. Intuitive thinking.

Collage as an art practice has been a major influence on my work over the years and I have been particularly inspired by the early collage works of Braque and Picasso, the Russian Constructivists and most importantly the German Dada artist Hannah Hoch.
