Nowhere else, The Readers, Document and Drift: diagram xi, working with architect Dominic Stevens (all 2010), are shown for the first time; alongside Instances, 1999, and a staging of Manifesto 3 (instead of partial object), 2004, in collaboration with artist John Seth, with whom Tallentire has frequently collaborated since 1993, in a practice formalised as ‘work-seth/tallentire’.

Nowhere else, 2010, invites the viewer to navigate hundreds of images depicting peripheral glimpses of daily life and detritus taken from sites identified by overlaying a chart of the night sky onto a map of London. This work refigures earlier pre-occupations with interrogating the apparatus of mapping and naming, and plays upon the relationship between the specific and the general; social control and urban occupations.
While much of Tallentire’s work has made use of staging and recording her own actions, in Drift the Irish artist documents solely the actions of others in 21 short video clips that portray various routine activities carried out in association with the maintenance of a city’s infrastructure. For Drift: diagram xi, 2010, Tallentire has collaborated with Irish architect Dominic Stevens to present an eight-screen video installation encased within a freestanding scaffolding structure. Each installation is devised specifically for the demands of the space and identified as a numerical ‘diagram’ in order to emphasise the necessity for a critical consideration of context.

A text work developed specifically for this exhibition, The Readers, 2010, attests to the identities, activities and interests existing alongside the shared day to day work practices of those who work in Irish Museum of Modern Art. (more…)

Sebuah lukisan karya Leonardo da Vinci kembali ditemukan berkat teridentifikasinya sidik jari “sang jenius” berusia ratusan tahun yang masih melekat di sana.

Peter Paul Biro, seorang pakar forensik seni asal Montreal-Kanada yang dikutip dari yahoonews, Rabu malam (14/10), mengatakan bahwa sidik jari yang sebelumnya perkirakan berasal dari lukisan perempuan muda Jerman abad Kesembilan belas itu diyakini para ahli ternyata asli sidik jari Leonardo.

Lukisan yang disebut sebagai “Profile of the Bella Principessa” yang ditaksir bernilai USD 150 juta ini memang sejak lama sudah menarik perhatian sejumlah kolektor benda-benda seni. Diduga kuat lukisan ini ini adalah karya Leonardo da Vinci yang berhasil diidentifikasi dalam seratus tahun terakhir. Biro menjelaskan bahwa sidik jari yang ditemukan di berkas lukisan itu cocok dengan sidik jari Leonardo “St. Jerome” di Vatikan. Biro telah memeriksanya dengan menggunakan pencitraan sidik cari dengan teknologi mutakhir berdasarkan sampel yang dilakukan laboratorium Luminere Technology di Paris.

Laboratorium ini menggunakan scanner digital khusus untuk memindai lapisan-lapisan lukisan itu. Langkah pengecekan sidik jari ini dilakukan berdasarkan catatan tentang kebiasaan Leonardo yang selalu menggunakan tangannya langsung ke kanvas sebagai bagian dari teknik lukisnya. Itu terbukti dengan ditemukannya sejumlah sidik jari sang seniman masa Reanaissance itu di banyak karyanya. Teknik, gaya, dan material yang digunakan dalam lukisan itu sudah memberikan bukti khas karya Leonardo .

Walau sebelumnya diduga itu karya lukisan peniru Leonardo dari abad kesembilanbelas, namun adanya sidik jari Leonardo yang teridentifikasi jelas merujuk itu pastilah berasal dari masa Renaissance 500 tahun lalu dan asli buatan tangan Leonardo da Vinci.
