Robin Rhode
Gem:
I found an article about Robin Rhode in issue 74 of contemporary (2005)(pg 86-89). I'd seen some of his stuff before but hadn't known who it was by. He does really awesome stuff, pften displayed as stop frame animations, often done in public places and incorporate street art. He has a really interesting way of making something so obviously fake seem real through the way he interacts with it.
I couldn't find my favourite one on the internet but it's definitely worth checking out (pg 88)Rhode is standing against a white wall holding an umbrella and is painting the rain or whatever it is onto the wall, because of where it ends he seems sheltered from it. It is a perfect example of how he makes obviously artificial things seem real, we can see him painting it but at the same time we belive it. so very very cool.
