Natural Art Goes Digital
Talking about and with Artist Andy Goldsworthy on taking it to the Web

The digital conceit is this: For every day during the duration of the show -- which runs through Nov. 30, including Sundays and Mondays, when the gallery is closed -- Goldsworthy is making new pieces in the environs of his hometown of Penpont, Scotland, and e-mailing a digital image or two, along with an accompanying diary entry, to the gallery. These pictures are then printed out on a consumer-model Epson printer and mounted on the empty gallery walls daily. The same material is being e-mailed to 150 or so curators, collectors, critics and Goldsworthy fans. By the end of the exhibition, the sizable white walls at Haines will likely be abundantly full, as will those lucky recipients' e-mail boxes. It's something of a conceptual play on notions of time and place, and it makes perfect sense in his continuing artistic exploration.
