Joan Fontcuberta

Well lets get this show on the road, to make a decent start I'll look at a well known artist in the field of narrative.
His name, Joan Fontcuberta, born in 1955, this Spanish artist is considered one of Spain's top artist's as well as being a very shrewd editor and writer.Galleries such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Art Institute of Chicago; Musee National d'Art Moderne, Centre George Pompidou, Paris; and Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany to name a few, most of his works are show in Europe and America.
It would appear that he prefers group shows as the list I dug up shows a great number of these types of show, maybe because its more planning to create a space dedicated to your work alone, and maybe there is a time and cost issue.
Last exibition he attended, opened 8th of October this year (2008)http://www.artfacts.net/index.php/pageType/instInfo/inst/10124/lang/1

His work's have featured a fake fiction comparable to my own work, by creating and manipulating images and story to allude the suspicions the audience might have about the works authenticity.

Costa Llobero Garden, Barcelona, de Joan Fontcuberta

This is an example of some fake flowers he created, I guess this piece is clever on quite a few levels. He is telling a story, trying to persuade your mind to believing this is real, while being a photographer, and sculptor.

This is his homepage, It has snakes with legs, super giant snails and appears very clever in the works execution.
My work is in essence the same, I am creating a fake fiction and trying to sell it to the audience. In my piece, I have machinery over organic substances, that’s about the only difference. But like him I too feel the best way to show this is in photographic form, because the video I created was to explicit in the uncovering of the objects, ill go into that in more detail later.
