AND THE SEVENTH BRINGS RETURN....

1.SIN NANNA-ECLIPSED IN LYCANTHROPIC FULLNESS-HUMBLY PRESENTE'….

Of:entering the storehouse of memories and the slaying of the gods-righteous calling of Sumerian haze:A RITUAL IN SENSORIUM,THAT DO CONSIST OF SEVEN MOMENTS-and the seventh is return –Relentless, turn on the wheel of fortune,above the fourth,and so it maybe seem that I search for the narrow way-the funambulatory pathway between ecstasies,as above, so below-we run from the fire that feed,as one in righteous longevity and a depth of humility-by infinite unities and equal separateness.Ever-winding,a black ever-rolling abyss, beyond past consciousness, unluminous, formless and void-it do form when darkness is increased by one…

It is mine,this Earth-Flight of Kiatic shark desire none shall fetter my hand in the equilibrium of mine mindstuff motion-In Bast-relief-to the stone,within : infinity and "peace past personality'"-opalescence in the shade of my hand, an apocalyptic transmogrification  of the soul, "only jovial like"-this reversion of thought,moonwracked obelisk witness:Ra-Hoor Khuit2dusk it took the night to believe….

Arbouratic klonk for the one-(a)lone peripherary-feathered serpent departure on cold-blood-dressed in shroud and dead but dreaming an eternal in thought, body mind and soul…NOTHING IS TRUE-EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED….

ETERNAL WAVE-TOWER BLASTED PRECEPICE-uptown, decoded in: arbitrary stoner temple-the badass crumble of the heathen, must be the pentagram and the love from above…

"One digs too deep he passes treasure to his grave"….

Goddess of War and Love-risen mourning star, guides our hand through this battle to readdress the balance-eclipsed by blackened enthroned Hekatic crone, a neither-neither that know no satiation. Denizen of threshold, Oh! ever silent watcher,guide our hand through this battle-to resurrect our lives, let's resurrect the night….

To know the forest-to have friendship with the arboreal ecstatic-mine own ever silent watcher!-This Kiatic Earth Ride of mine Shark's desire. (with)in: blackened sub-bass system of inner-space gloom….

-Mystic Ecstoic-current aesthetic hotwire, from "Zos Kia Cultus" and beyond, verily a great-En-Daemon-iada of familiar plane, familiar place, familiar- tís a fuckin' pleasure….

Perambulation within: Cosmische Shiva-let him who hath understanding….

-To shape thy own question to our Heathen, Satanic Oscillation of New Gold Solar Ray/In this time and now reality-Our coven shall still utilize the call,sonic delight of curling arabesque,tattooed cranium within arbitrary stoner temple! Who can know the thoughts of Mary-Jane? And I shall flutter on the wings of snow….

-To wield an unearthly power, the hammer of our gods-witnessing the joy of the round feast-as I awaken, lost in a gloomy wood astray. I:XUL DAEMON-dark one of Inner-Space Gloom and diamond….

 

2.PENITENZIAGITER:"Inquiring tireless-seeking what is yet informed"….

-It is mine eye-this orobouratic, infinity and darkest fooling wisdom....

-If I were to crown myself as king is that what I should become-screw the naysayer-more likely a denizen scorn or pity-Is it by symbolizing we become the symbolized.I should rather know trees better and have friendship with plants-"cos trees are people too,"-the swine though odious does not offend our good taste-so spake Zos vel Thannatos(1886-1956)

Eternal Wheel is our War-Horse, scoping directive dragon eyes,for one moment-this Crippled Lucifer shall relinquish this omniscience-aochorizing hisself in correlations that bear witness to no satiation….

-a twitching gait-slashed in Crippled, Lucipherian Sundown-we burst the wall, entirely something else-an opalescent sun-beam of both upper and lower dust, Firebird arise- from the ashes of fecund black soil, hallowed in memomorium….     

   

 

  

NEWVOLUTIONS@LPAC

NEWVOLUTIONS-LPAC,19^th January :2013

My day began at 11am when I met Dr Traci Kelly at LPAC, also present was Sara Ella from Hull College of Art and Design. We began by discussing the parameters of Live Art and what constitutes a performance. It was decided that Sara and I should go to the centre of Lincoln and develop a micro-performance, i.e that which is performative but is so small it could be missed. The other of the duo should document this performance either visually or in written form.

Sara's first performance was based on her own obssesive compulsive disorder and centred around her entering a public convenience and washing her hads many time, I was to photograph her entering the toilet and when she returned.Luckily the door was open so I could get a couple of candid photos of her during this process. Conclusion was that she made the lavatory attendant uncomfortable with the idea that something that is neither-neither,i.e not a performance and not an action of reality.This poises interesting questions about what is performance and is it still a performance if we do not document it in some way, did it, does it etc.

My performance at this stage was not so subtle-I assumed the character of a Northern scallie and proceeded to ask everyone I passed if I could have a cigarette. Naturally  they were having none of it and were not sure if I was on drugs, drunk or insane.What was interesting was ignoring my own intrinsically antisocial behaviour and playing a character in order to gauge a reaction.

Exercise 2  

On turning to Studio 1-we were joined by Maxine a budding Taiwanese Live Artist based in Leicester. Our next challenge was to instigate a Live Art intervention which highlighted the audience as key protagonist i.e their reaction is the performance so of we toddled back to the High Street.

Maxine: Collected snowballs and invited members of public to eat them asking the general public if they were edible and delicious. She instigated this in such an ethereal way full of fun, naïve yet in control and all knowing. People didn't want to be rude but were busy and got on their way.

Sara:Not being in authority but taking the pedestrian crossing under ownership asked the people using the crossing to be careful and mind their step when crossing the road. A very interesting intervention in the sense that Sara was not in a uniform or any particular position of authority but had taken it unto herself for people to take care when crossing the road.In our busy lives there are few strangers who take it unto themselves to look out for each other so I thought this was a very well-meaning  act and said a lot about our attitudes to each other under an urban situation.

James:Thought it would be good to be challenge the idea of the social norm of going about  ones own business on the High Street and not interacting with everyone-so decided to shake hands with as many people as possible and give them my best wishes for the day.The outcome was astounding,people were very surprised and were quite happy to say hello but found it strange that I wanted to shake their hands seemed to be against protocol. However a few people did and I thought it was an interesting  intervention in the sense that I broke down barriers and made a statement about what is socially acceptable I mean what is wrong with shaking hands with a person it is just the social context that matters, or should not?

 

Exercise 3.

The third exercise we instigated after discussing our previous findings with Traci Kelly was the idea of doing two perfomances in town of different lengths and seeing how this went down. I decided I would sing a couple of rock n roll songs just to gauge a reaction and see if I could gather an audience. People smiled and walked by as I don't think they understood the nature of the performance, I mean I could have been anyone just singing in the middle of the high street.I think I hunless you have a clear modus operandi then you don't really have a covenant with your  audience and are in some way you are invisible. However I like the idea of this, that people are walking on a Saturday afternoon and various madness is occurring which you can notice out of the corner of their eye and connect with or not depending on your own disposition.

Maxine:the artist did a very interesting intervention where she was giving out free snowballs, in this case the innocence of her work seemed to draw people in and although they  were a little bit afraid that the snowballs were going to get thrown at them they actually seemed charmed by her staging.

Sara: This artists intervention at this stage continued on with the invisibility of her washing hands in an OCD fashion. This time Sara attacked a bench with her wet wipes and cleaned all the dirt and snow off it. Once again totally invisible unless you cared to question its Surreality.thought it was a really interesting slice of her practice-and the idea that our thoughts seem to go away when we are busy cleaning, making art etc.

A really great day and I learnt a lot-documenting and performing with two talented artists.A good time was had by all!         

 

 

An Interaction at International Postcard Show 2013

Creating an engagement with the anonymous

My idea for my elective which i would like to think, links in with my studio practices. This idea was to create a set of instructions inside an envelope to grow your own vegetables,complete with seeds and information. Growing and nurturing these plants will be beneficial and economic as well as being source of food. This is a interaction and engagement with the anonymous audience.

NURTURE ME + GROW ME: Stated on the outside of the envelope is a slogan i have created to entice the public/audience to interact with a curious nature. So far i have created numerous packets, with a luggage tags stating USE ME + EAT ME. 

I am now beginning to experiment with these packages, collaborating and intertwining these within my own body of work in the studio, creating an 'intervention'.

My Interactive Artwork In Progress ....

This was my interaction with an audience during the preview opening for Designated Viewpoint on Monday the 12th of November.

My studio work is about the people not recognising how bacteria spreads and causes serious health problems, my aim is to raise the awareness of how important it is to kill the bacteria before it spreads. I am in the process of trying out an installation that will interact with the audience by making them wear protection before entering an area that to them would seem hazardous, the exhibition allowed me to show a small piece of work including Petri dishes. These were full of harmless honey and sanitizer but the viewers were not informed of this, I left masks and gloves with a message to the viewers enforcing that they had to wear them while viewing the work due to fast spreading bacteria. Only a handful of people engaged with the idea of interacting with the piece, so this means I need to go bigger and be strict on the rules of entering a hazardous zone.

I am looking forward to seeing the results.

Phil Collins
'The World Wont Listen'
(Smiths Karaoke)

'Collins presents a three-screen video installation of fans singing songs from The Smiths album of the same name.The screens represent three sites around the world in which Collins recorded the karaoke sessions; Bogata in 2004, Istanbul in 2005 and Jakarta and Bandung in 2007. And the music you hear is not The Smiths at all, but a re-recording of the album done in Bogota with local musicians. It raises questions of the reach and influence of global culture here, and how it is filtered and interpreted in different societies.'

From the Guardian: Jeremy Deller's inflatable Stonehenge gives Glasgow a bounce in its step

Jeremy Dellers's Sacrilege. I commissioned piece of work at the Glasgow Green, part of Glasgow International festival of the visual arts. Sacrilege an inflatable Stonehenge (Bouncy Castle)

 

In my dissertation i am looking into Art and Archaeology. I feel this piece of work relates both to my elective - INTERACTIONS & HAPPENINGS, and my dissertation subject.

Sacrilege is an imitation of Stonehenge, Stonehenge being an iconic figure and part of British heritage which Deller, has created to be more of an interaction. Deller's work is interact-able with all ages to enjoy, adults and children have been jumping up and down on the inflatable Stonehenge which can appear in some ways quite humorous  just like a lot of Deller's other projects.

"It's something for people to interact with, it's a big public sculpture," says Deller, who was on hand for the project's launch. "It is also a way of interacting with history and archaeology and culture in a wider sense.
