Martin Gantman

Pacific Design Center - PDC, Los Angeles

Selections from theartbeautyproject

“theartbeautyproject” was produced by Mr. Gantman in 1999 to 2001. It responds to the then new phenomena of design fashion and furniture house advertisements introducing advertising into contemporary art magazines. Included in this exhibit are a series of heraldic banners as well as the piece: “scurious y helmut appeared.”

Gallery in Chicago, POST Los Angeles, Artetica, Rome; and La Coruna, Spain. He is currently working on a multi-faceted undertaking entitled "Tracking Empire." His project, “See you when we get home.” was featured in Art Journal magazine and his most recent project, "Atmospheric Resources Tracking Incorporated" was shown at the Seyhoun Gallery in West Hollywood earlier this year. Recent published writings include: “The Irresolute Potential in the Unimagined Possibility,” “Swingin’ in the Slammer,” “The Word Was Charm,” “DuSable Park: An archeology,” "Notes on the Oddness of Things," and "Mapping the Lost Idea." He also co-edited "Benjamin's Blind Spot: Walter Benjamin and the Premature Death of Aura" for the Institute of Cultural Inquiry, published by DAP Publications in 2001.
