David Osbaldeston
Art writer David Osbaldeston (b. 1968) takes a sideways glance into established forms of authoritative communication and human behavior, where familiar public instruction mechanisms, such as notices, are deconstructed and subverted. His work often employs absurd methods of making and comic miscommunication. In Inflection Sandwich, which is designed to be read either from front to back or back to front, Osbaldeston literally sandwiches three distinct but related sculptural installations of an image-recognition device. Osbaldeston looks to recycle, reconfigure and redirect his work as information, not art. The sandwiching of ideas or images suggests that by returning to motifs over and over, the work begins to feel familiar and asks the question, what is the metaphorical potential as opposed to its symbol? Essays by Will Holder, John Russell and Jonathan Watts describe the work's artistic and metaphysical properties.
The Cost of a Military Person-year
This work presents a new method of estimating the cost of a military person-year that focuses on the actual cost of the retirement benefits that the federal government must provide to military personal, where previously available measures focused only on annual retirement-fund accrual costs. A major implication of this alternative calculus is that truly effective force management requires an increased focus on the cost of personnel.
On Communication
Earlier in 2004, noted writers and artists were presented with a series of questions which attempted to address the complex and sometimes difficult relationship between the production of art and the position of the writer and/or written form. This is a published account (not without some sense of irony), of how speakers at Cornerhouse responded over two separate engaging and highly informative events. Dave Beech, Will Bradley, JJ Charlesworth, Sacha Craddock, Heidi Reitmaier and Rachel Withers present their thoughts, viewpoints and ideas. Limited edition of 500.
