Annotated Bibliography

Crooks Daniel, Daniel Crooks : a small section of something larger : 22 September - 15 October : Sherman Galleries, Sherman Galleries 2005

This is a sort of a catalogue that was distributed by a gallery that had taken on Daniel Crooks. I found it in the library when doing a search for the name Daniel Crooks, I thought it may be a book written by him and possibly give me an insight into his thoughts around or departed from his time splice works. However it doesn't seem to be written by him even tho it says’s he was the author. This booklet allowed me to see high quality pictures of the works, as opposed to just my memory of the videos and pixelated images on the web. It also gave brief conceptual descriptions and alerted me to the idea of the code and how that relates to time and human body.

Kirsten Rann, All That Is Solid Melts, Photofile 87 – The Portrait Issue, Australian Centre for Photography August-November 09

This was a great profile on the work of Daniel Crooks, it had a lot of the same thematic concerns as the Sherman Galleries booklet, but it was longer, went more in depth and made historical links to the early stop motion video of Antoirnette-Bourard and Impressionism.

Lloyd Jones Jan, Campbell Paul, Wylie Peter, Art and Time, North Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing 2007

While not giving me any information on relevant artists it did give me an understanding of the idea of art and time, it was both broad and specific in it’s approach as to what art can be considered ‘time art’. It’s a collection of philosophical essays that were formulated after a conference on the subject of Art and time/architecture/music.
