CROSSING THE BORDER: BENEATH THE BLUE SKY

Crossing the Border: Beneath the Blue Sky is a site specific installation of a series of flags made by a cyanotype process using thy transparent qualities of film and sunlight, as well as a custom-generated algorithm, to reconstruct geometric designs from country flags in a blue tone, thus transforming the color of the sky into the artwork.  Through the algorithm and the transparent aspect evoking sunlight, participants are prompted to consider how all people share the share the same sky and should be treated equally in keeping with the concept of transparency, regardless of their cultural background.  The artist, Bundith Phunsombatlert (bphunsom@gmail.com) is a long time and special friend to Puffin Foundation West. Bundith Phunsombatlert (born Thailand) explores media archeology. His artworks examine how new and old media technology connect, and how their differing contexts subtly imbue everyday experiences with new layers of meaning. Bundith Phunsombatlert has exhibited work at Auckland Triennial Institution, New Zealand; Guangzhou Triennial, China; and Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, Australia, among others. Bundith  is looking for a venue any ideas out there? Its  prototype has already been on view at  a group show in e International Studio & Curatorial Program’s Gallery in NYNY this past September.
