Peter Garfield Interdisciplinary Artist
	"Architecture on a Stick"

Working with photographs, sculpture, video, graphics and maquettes, Peter Garfield is an artist working in an architectural milieu. Having studied at Dartmouth College, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, Garfield has taken several grants, fellowships and artist-in-residencies including awards from the National Endowment for the Arts and residency at the MacDowell Colony. He has also had several one-person shows in galleries across Europe and the US, including Feigen Contemporary in New York. Peter made headlines in 1998 with his "Harsh Realty" art book project, fooling many (even critics) with his stunning photographs of houses falling through the sky. "Objects with Potential" followed this phase of his work with panoramic views of a nameless high-tech warehouse district populated by a mysterious workforce in lab coats. "Deep Space One" (2006) is a triptych video of equal parts fairytale, quest, psychedelic trip and dreamscape. Architectural and landscape models feature throughout the work, often asscalar segues. New work, discussed in the podcast, takes the artist's own brainwave data as the basis for topographic maps, so many "psychological landscapes" that suggest the Hudson River School and Song Dynasty mountainscapes. These forms also link to current architectural themes and debates. Music in this podcast features in Garfield"s "Deep Space One" video courtesy of the artist.
