#AlgoBrushMeetsLouiseLawler? Another exciting art project by Eva Leopoldi. This project combines appropriation art with the use of an image-generating AI – in Leopoldi’s case exclusively Midjourney. This is what the artist says about her project:
The well-known artist Louise Lawler has made twelve of her photographic works available for free use by anyone interested as so-called ‘tracings’ or ‘colouring pictures’ during the Corona period. These tracings can be downloaded as PDFs and edited on the MoMA website.
When I discovered this in 2022, I was immediately excited because I am still an enthusiastic fan of appropriation art. However, it took another two years before I took action and developed the #AlgoBrushMeetsLouiseLawler project.
The main requirement for the edits is artistic work with the help of an image-generating AI.
As an appetiser, here is one of the twelve edits I created using one of Louise Lawler’s colouring pictures:
Eva Leopoldi: I just have nothing to wear – 2024
I just have nothing to wear…
Louise Lawler: Hand on the back (traced) -1997-1998-2013
By the way, I’m still looking for 1 or 2 artists who would like to take part in the project. You can also find this information on the KI website. Just write to me. Of course, a final project book is also planned for this project.
