Monograph, a comprehensive exhibition of the extraordinary work of artist James Welling opened at the Hammer on September 28, 2013. Welling’s post-conceptual (the concept or idea takes precedence over the aesthetic or material) work explores photographic possibilities as it interacts with architecture, sculpture, painting, optics, materials and perception. His work is beautiful, insightful, deeply perceptive, extraordinary. Welling’s work is a “dialogue between photographic representation and visual experience,” according to his gallerist at Regen Projects II. Monograph is a mix of a few series from his work.

And some great artists are scientists as well. Although many think that art and science are mutually exclusive, they are in fact interrelated and many artists have an extensive background in the sciences. There are more than a few artists who started their careers in the sciences. When talking to artists about their work, one is struck by the conscious manipulation of chemistry, physics and engineering in their art work. Science is not alien to artists, but an integral part of their work.

“It isn't the incompetent who destroy an organization. The incompetent never get in a position to destroy it. It is those who achieved something and want to rest upon their achievements who are forever clogging things up." — F. M. Young

“Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.” - Pablo Picasso
