We harbor a pet notion that foregrounding random incidence is the height of art making — as to us it seems that this is generally the way life is experienced — that is, surprised and subsequently animated by the haphazard and arbitrariness created by a friction between reflection and expectation.
Absorbing ourself into the offerings of transferencemag.com — an art and photo “outlet” and “research platform,” re-stimulated this sentiment. The curatorial approach seems wholly informed by a predilection for art that stimulates peculiarity rather than a reinforcement of presupposition.
As well, it is worth noting that it is really pleasing that each piece links out to other sites — as this is the most lovely (and most oft discouraged) possibility of the web — reinforcing the above idea, that you don’t learn much if you always know where you’re going.
