It's been a really cool place to live this spring/summer.
We'll be off to L.A. by the end of this fall, though.
But Kansas City is a pretty pretty nice place to be for now.

this is a whole bunch of photos from a roll that got jammed, i think, and so it's most of our ceremony in one picture.

Here is where we went on our honeymoon!
it is at where the border of argentina, brazil, and paraguay connect.

"Existence Value"
Paul Cowan and Scott Cowan

Opening October 15th, 6-9pm
Through November 13th
at Roots & Culture 1034 N Milwaukee Ave.
.
"Existence Value" investigates the intrinsic value people and cultures give to things- how people with different
understandings of the same thing can assume to agree according to the meaning that a thing has in their own life.
We have options, an infinite amount of them, which we must see as wide-open variables to use or to deny. Every
decision made is made with intention. It isn’t about being ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, but rather the sequence of events and
how they add up.
In "Existence Value", a gesture precedes all considerations and assumptions, rendering immediate perception
obtuse. These objects, losing all subjectivity; question their own role (real or imaginary) and the artist’s desire to
create and be present in the work.

last minute show of some photos at Eastern Expansion

2010-04-22T19:16:00.001-05:00

(i changed the name of the show to 19 in stead of 17)

Scott Cowan, in his first photography exhibition, has selected 19 images from a body of work that will eventually contain 10,000 photos. The chosen work illustrates humor, raw tension, claustrophobia, and strangely grotesque excess within and without what is typically thought of as 'common' cultural objects. They are clearly fixed ‘facts’ of the real world but impartially recorded within the order and clarity imposed or allowed by the camera. While less focus is placed on direct narrative, the starting point is an egalitarian or evenhanded place where no one object contained within the picture has direct precedence over the other. The emphasis is on shape, color, form, symbol, texture and fragments of space. With this in mind these images re-think about what is considered successful, beautiful, or visually important. It is as if the aesthetic qualities are not a separate issue to resolve apart from the objects themselves.
