UNTITLED (RAINY DAY LA TIMES EXCERPT)/POSTER, 2015
Poster: 30 x 24" Gallery Frame: 30 x 24" Shadowbox Frame: 32 x 26" There is still something iconic about a daily newspaper, its size and feel represent something now timeless in the information age. “Untitled (Rainy day LA Times excerpt)” presents us with spreads from the Los Angeles Times published on every rainy day over the 2014/2015 Southern California winter. The first impulse is to search for something familiar, a story we remember, an important date, but taken all together, this poster illuminates the beauty of an everyday object. This collection of LA Times' pages are a by-product of work currently in progress in Sam's studio, captured here in poster form to present a view of the ephemeral element of art work. This act of recycling stays true to the multi-use nature of newspaper, its ability to record daily activity, and to cover up or reveal new stories.
