Fine, Finer, Finest
Jem Finer is one of the most bizarre, unorthodox yet strangely compelling artists I’ve come across in the past decade. He loves to create, and create differently.
What he produces is art which often hasmore than one immediate purpose - half the fun is working out exactly what it means, aside from the obvious immediate impact or message… and after you leave wherever the artwork may be on display (be it its actual location or, in some cases, the online site) you’ll usually find yourself thinking about it long after you’ve gone off and started to do something else.
I won’t spoil the fun, but I strongly suggest you go exploring (in no particular order):
CosmoLog, the blog of The Centre Of The Universe
On Earth As In Heaven
LongPlayer
Score For A Hole In The Ground
Zero Genie, a partial list of collaborations, and
AutoDestruct, “A Document of Autodestruct Performances Nos. 1, 2 and 3”, mysteriously coming soon.
There’s more out there, but that’s up to you to find. Happy timeout.
