Artist Walead Beshty produced over 11,000 blue cyanotypes of EVERY object that passed through his studio over the course of a year.
Artist Walead Beshty produced over 11,000 blue cyanotypes of EVERY object that passed through his studio over the course of a year. Thirty-eight percent of them (a mere 5,120 pieces) are currently on view at the Petzel Gallery in New York in a massive 3-room exhibition titled: ?Abstract of A Partial Disassembling of an Invention Without a Future: Helter-Skelter and Random Notes in Which the Pulleys and Cogwheels Are Lying Around at Random All Over the Workbench?.
A Partial Disassembling of an Invention Without a Future: Helter-Skelter and Random Notes in Which the Pulleys and Cogwheels Are Lying Around at Random All Over the Workbench (9 October 2013?8 October 2014) A ?Cyanotype? is an early photographic printing process. In modern times the process can be found under the name “sun print? and most commonly used by elementary school classes to make white silhouettes of leaves. You can buy one of those kits here on Amazon (not sponsored). Essentially, the traditional store-bought kit contains paper that is coated with a UV-sensitive chemical that turns blue when it?s exposed to sunlight*. Place a leaf on the paper, expose it to sunlight, and create a permanent white shadow of that leaf.
