Charles LaBelle at the LSU Museum of Art
Fieldworks - Silverlake, 2007, compound photo, 43 x 44 1/2"
Charles LaBelle's, Fieldworks - Silverlake, will soon be featured as part of the show "Of People & Places: Contemporary Works from the JP Morgan Chase Art Collection" at the LSU Museum of Art. The pieces in La Belle's Fieldworks series are compound photographs, comprised of thousands of one-inch square images to the effect of a large-scale mosaic grid. Forgoing digital technology, the artist individually cuts and arranges each image by hand. Each work in the series focuses on a specific site - the individual images of Fieldworks - Silverlake detail the interior of a house in Silverlake where LaBelle lived for a month with his girlfriend. LaBelle has stated,“I’m interested in the way the events that happen at these sites are so quickly erased. Bloodstains are washed away and passion fades. These pieces are about holding on to those heightened moments but also about reconciling their loss.”
The show will run from November 15, 2009 through February 14, 2010.
Be sure to check out Charles LaBelle's latest project, Buildings Entered, in which the artist chronicles every building he has entered since 1997. You can read more about the project and view his Web Log with "occasional drawings of buildings posted within 24 hours of entering" here: http://www.charles-labelle-bldgs-entered.blogspot.com/
