Artist Steve Roden posts some thoughts on the work of Blinky Palermo sparked by the juxtaposition of a Palermo work, Projektion, with one of Roden's own paintings in the exhibition Time Again at the Sculpture Center in Long Island City. Palermo's Projektion is "a photographic document of a projection of a red and blue painting onto the front of what appears to be the facade of an apartment building." Roden notes that Projektion "...seems to shift certain conditions of an existing architecture through the addition of color and light..." and writes about his own painting's relationship to architecture.
Tyler Green writes about Steve Roden "a California-based artist, [who] has slipped through the cracks. In Europe he’s mostly known as a sound artist. In the Western United States, Roden’s paintings and sculpture have earned him a devoted cult following. In the East he’s almost entirely unknown. A just-closed 20-year survey exhibition at the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, Calif. reveals remarkable achievement that’s been hidden in plain sight. "
