Ubiquitous Surveillance

7/22/2019

0 Comments

 
A little over a year ago I began a series of works regarding the nature of the now almost constant forms of surveillance we are under in our daily lives. Whether it's Social Media, and other online venues or ever-present cameras around us we have essentially given up our privacy. What does that mean? Does it matter? The work below is one of three in the series thus far.

​Assemblage


The above piece will be featured in the "ArtsIlliana gallery in Terre Haute, Indiana beginning August 2, 2019-October 18, 2019. The show is entitled "Red". Below is the Gallery statement about the show.
​

"Is RED just a color? If it is, then how many variations of RED are there? Throughout history humans have had a love/hate relationship with RED, e.g. in the 20th century we had RED countries and in the 21st century we have RED states. Is RED more than just a color?" - nArtsIlliana

Tristan Tzara

Tristan Tzara Video
by ArtotemArt
Tristan Tzara was a Romanian and French avant-garde poet, essayist and performance artist. Also active as a journalist, playwright, literary and art critic, composer and film director, he was known best for being one of the founders and central figures of the Dada art movement. 
Tzara's shows at the Cabaret Voltaire and Zunfthaus zur Waag, as well as his poetry and art manifestos, became a main feature of early Dadaism. His work represented Dada's nihilistic side, in contrast with the more moderate approach favored by Hugo Ball.

The Continuum

Revisiting this topic I wrote about a few years ago. See below for essay.

The Continuum
​Created by ArtotemArt
​
Life, mine and yours has a place in the vast continuum of existence if only for the time span of each of our lifetimes. This continuum contains the “I Have Been”, the “I Am, and the “I Will Be” of self. This special timeline reaches backward and forward from the moment of right now. Right now is influenced by the chosen and random narrative of what came before, mixed with the choices of this very moment and the randomness of now. The “I Will Be” of my future and yours is understandable (if only partially) by exploring the “I have Been” and the “I Am” of the narrative and artifacts of self.
   
Personal Narratives and Artifacts
 
Our personal narrative of self contains the stories we piece together of our life. Some are accurate representations of life and self and some are not. These stories, colored by our beliefs and inclinations, can be more powerful than the circumstances and events were it possible to consult an impartial observer. In essence, they are really our personalized alternative narratives and are explanatory artifacts for understanding life. My narrative is no different and is represented by the blog entries on the first page of this web site.
 
We travelers along this continuum of life create and use artifacts. These artifacts can be physical objects or they can be less visible as pointed out above. Like archeologists we can excavate and expose our “personal artifacts” to a light of the present. We can examine them and define the real and metaphorical connection to their place in our lives.  Doing so can give us some chance of understanding our possible futures in a world that is filled with wonders and yet at times can be difficult.
 
My personal narrative and artifacts are partially represented on this web site. It contains small glimpses of how I examine the “I Have Been” and the “I Am” of my self. Some of the artifacts I present are complete and have their place further back on the continuum; others exist and are being created in the now. All can and probably will lead to the place of  “I Will Be” on my personal continuum and “process of being”.

SHE
 
The upside down pendulum,

slowing time’s twisted travel.

She seeks something.

Certainty’s clarity, a message, a sign.

Something, anything that says, “Yes”.

Kurt’s Flight from Fascism

10/8/2018

0 Comments

 
For many artists and writers Nazi Germany quickly became a place to flee from.
​As the political situation in Germany under the Nazis continued to deteriorate throughout the 1930s, Schwitters work began to be included in the Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art) touring exhibition organised by the Nazi party from 1933. 


​On 2 January 1937 Schwitters discovered he was-wanted for an "interview" with the Gestapo. He then fled to Norway.

The Guest Expulsed - Hans Arp

Their rubber hammer strikes the sea
Down the black general so brave.
With silkeen braid they deck him out
As fifth wheel on the coming grave.

All Striped in yellow with the tides
They decorate his firmament.
The epaulettes they then construct
Of June July and wet cement.
With many lines the portrait group
They lift on to the Dadadado;
They nail their SB seizures up;
Who numbers the compartments? They do.

They dye themselves with blu-bag then
And go as rivers from the land,
With candied fruit along the stream,
An Oriflamme in every hand.
