Exhibition: November 2013, Kennenth Laing Herdy

wickerson @ June 1, 2013

Kenneth Laing Herdy
November 2013

Wickerson Studios is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition of recent works by Kenneth Laing Herdy. Over the past twenty years Kenneth Herdy has been practicing multidisciplinary art. With an extensive focus on Photography the Toronto born artist has developed and produced several large bodies of self-directed work. Kenneth Herdys interest in history, science and our "path" have led him to a critical inquiry of the concepts and issues associated with the "self" in our post-modern society (ALANTIC c.1991). He has also explored the abuse of the environment by the military industrial complex (ASSEMBLY LINEc.1999). In 2002, he spent 8 months in Japan traveling through the country with a 4x5 camera photographing the immense industrial giants that compete with nature (MOTHRA c.2002). During the fall of 2003, he walked 827 km from the English Channel to the Swiss border following the trench lines from the First World War. During the walk, he documented the scars made in the landscape, and produced a collection of large format works that question the ideologies that led to such conflicts. He is working on an ongoing project titled "The Extinction Series" following the capture and demise of various animal species. His visual influences include Classical and Flemish painting, military technology, and urban environments. Kenneth Herdys work has been in various regional and international exhibits currently is in the Polaroid International Show, which is traveling throughout international galleries world-wide.

Amazon’s Mechanical Turk Review of My Art #64

Paul Shortt @

This is a project where I pay workers on Amazon's Mechanical Turk to review my art and website and pay them $5 for 500 words. This is the 64th review I've received.

"At first glance Paul Shortt’s art reminded me of the artists in New York in the 60, 70’s and 80’s with their performance art that only the deepest, hippest thinkers could understand. There were a lot of pretenders with a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other squinting and nodding their heads.  Looking harder at Paul’s work I see he’s a Midwesterner. What does that imply? Midwesterners have a history of humility for one thing and are hardly pretentious for the most part. I liked the idea of “Please No Photos”. The message I got from it was the hypocrisy of the most famous for the sake of fame, pretending to hate the paparazzi. If he would have taken this further and gotten someone famous to stand behind the no photo symbol it might have had more impact.  It was a fun idea that didn’t go far enough.

Many of his pieces seemed more psychology than art such as “Three Hour Tour” where he takes 3 volunteers unknowingly to a hospital to walk around and discuss their feelings about it afterward. “How to be Narcissistic”, a sort of workshop on the art of Narcissism, “Contemporary Farewells”, “Modern Greetings” and an early work called “Interactive Signs” are a few of his works that require participation and possibly leave the participants thinking after having a bit of fun. People don’t usually crawl up stairs or hop right and left in front of an exit without a sign telling them to do so. Maybe in this way Paul is giving people permission to let loose a little. I got a chuckle out of “Missed Connections”. This was a project taking personal ads and placing them in odd ways such as on a decorated cake, written with icing in the bakery section of a grocery store (my personal favorite).

“The Car My Father Gave Me” is a piece that felt too personal and too long. It left me feeling that only Paul and his family could really appreciate it to its fullest. The biggest surprise in Paul Shortt’s collection was “Paul Shortt Shocks Chicago”. It was a short description of Paul with a classic hand buzzer shaking hands on a Chicago street, then giving the buzzed a buzzer to continue the gag and so one. He has a few photos on the page of buzzers and a hand holding a buzzer. That’s it! It’s left to your imagination. Maybe that’s the art of it, just story telling where you think the rest of it out yourself. In this day of YouTube I felt he could have gone so much further and made a great video but that would be too predictable I suppose. The series titled “Literally and Physically” is just the New York art I was referring to earlier that I would have expected to see some decades ago. The answer to this might just be that Paul Shortt is this generation’s New York elite, but not in New York."
