So this is it, the last shot of this studio, oh a romantic feeling of time spent in this ol place, or space, is all white washed over and ready to start over with someone else,.
Studio RRSATx is shut down , and about a week or so for the other one to crank back up ,
so what do i do when ever i am going to leave a joint, lets get drunk and fuck shit up, which means throw paint around an pound the walls, with a hammer, its all very carthic, i remember when i was leaving Marathon and james told me that the barn i was staying in was going to be torn down, so i took all this old paint that he had been storing and started chunking it on the building, like some mass abstraction,, it was all the local would stop by and scratch there head, i figured it out that they thought i had ,had it with james and this was a blow up, so to speek,.
So a i was spearing joint compound on the walls, and writting out rants about art and death, i knew that this was going to be it the end here.
early that evening i was painting away trying to complete all these obligations to folks who wanted a piece, but as i was shifiting my tables around my box of paiint fell over and hit the floor, i took it as a sigh , thats it no more here, and started cleaning up stuff, but then also after a coffee i got some beer, .ahh you know the rest.
One of my new promises is to stop getting fucked up ever other night here, for art's sake, i think in the evening i need to find some other activity, like playing and xbox that i might have to get, or have sex, with my newly past post estranged girlfriend, ? but mostly i am going to start over here, and reconfigure things, as this new chapter starts,
So i am back and the last week of RRSATX studio is about to end and so ends an era, of production , but first some photos of the showView image
this set is the donky kong , monkey barrel, and the podium, where a book is open with a bomb and a some sisors , So what does all this mean,?
ahhh who knows, i had to rethink exactly what all of it means , but as a show of work i think it fell together not so bad,
this also marks the end, an what exactly has happen over the last two years, and a half here in this studio,?
well i started the adventure constructing these rat trap sculptures, a set of them, an outhouse a maze section etc, and had a show , the nacho Volcano show, and works related to it, that lead me to a show at Grona gallery i would say for the amount of time to make the show ruffly a month and a half, and what was put up, including a rattrap ms pacman, it was the sumit of my painting mania, that folled the sumer with amore painting like that, 2006. When i first arrived here in in SA, i also lived with drek and mr budd, for the fall of that year, i moved out and into my current space, rrsatx, i alos did a show called profiles, at E gallery that year, about my buddies. in 2006 , i also ended a three year long relationship, the longest ever, but it was unavoidable, so around fall i started my trojan project about the castle and this nasty trojan horse trying to enter. somewhere around that time i think i was poisening myself to death maybe it was the burning old chicken on hot glue or the constant smell or poly urthaine, but i started slowing down,, also early that year i had a figure called box man in bluestar,
after the trojan deal, i was in this show called words at work, which this sculpture piece, the things at eat things was made, and then the pawn store profits show, and then i sorta got burned out, but not enought to form the last great show out of here the one up now, along with the C-Art show and the ET show, plus the chicargo deal which was a first, cause i never flew before,
so thats it , at least form what i can tell,
so this last show is basicly a summery of bits and materials, and a final cataloge on the show will be made,
Well folks this is the last week of the RRSATx studio wich is roadrunner San Antonio , the studios are named because of streets, the next on is LSSATX, how long ill be there?
which recapes a time line starting from nov, 05- till now, Wow, thats two years in one space, the white cube studio, i think i ll have one more manic blast in being there, So ends and era.
i have a bunch of phots of the show ready to go here
I think i am going to go over there every month and capture the liveness of this place, in this video i get harrased by a cowboy and these beer distrubitors get me the buisness, i got into a serious arguement with on of these guys about miller chill beer and how much it suxs! debating beer with beer reps is always fun,
yeap folks this is something i did last week, complete prospects of the show which went down this weekend, photos etc are comming, this will be the last show of the year and it also marks the end
Well today is the last day, of full production, typing is a bit tufff for me cause i ended up grinding the tips of my fingers off on my left hand, yeaks, one day i was to reved up sanding down a frame,
-=-=-
So whats instore for this week,? tonight i am going over to the Cove deal, and chatting with folks about the show, i am debating as to do some CG type of thing with red mud, or just relax.
-=-=-=-
Then as the week goes on, i am insaling the show on wed, and some buddied of mine are going to hang out with me on thursday night in which i make some interesting dinner, then saturday, which will be the mother of all BBQ,s for the show,.
-=-=-=
i have been racking my brains as to what all the what it all means, its like putting together an argument, out things you remeber out of your dreams, but if folks want to argue about it, welll,,,
-=-=-
Its been real fun making those utube vids, i think what s going to conspire next year on this site is more a shift over to the videos, and work related to it, i need to figure out the tech of it.
-=-=-
well this is the last couple of days before i instal the show, this photo is of the podiium bomb deal,
hummm what else is going on this last weekend, i just talked with ian alot , i like hazing Ian alot, he has this piece i am going to shoot here in the site, plus, a profile of the intire show, i am putting up plus
a night at the Cove, comming up,
plus a history of my truck the 93 ford ranger,
Ahhh i am ready to hit the road, etc, i am getting restless, well this is it folks i just got the cards in and they look great! i think the show is the sumation of all my bits and skits, and i feel is this really all it?
by then end of next week i will have all the pieces up on the net here, stuff like this wonderfull piece of a ladys ass, and the picture in the back,
i ended up having some one get sour about me making work about sex, or respecting womens issues, but i thought what? there are no female figures in any of this, even this ass could be unisexed? we went on abit about my morality concerinig my feelings or views on women, humm well art is entertainment, its this statement bs, i object to, statement, the seriousness of it, i had one lady go bonkers over the "scruffy paintigns' way back there, i don't know if anybody remebers those sumer 2006, i told the lady i like horror movies and scruffy was painting the females into the painting and i did the landscapes, she was so mad that i was getting her to paint the figures that and absolving me of any sexist charges, liek i was tricking a women to take off her cloths, i said "i think scruffy has her own mind" then we went on the the mental capiblity of scruffy, vs mine? it end in , well art is entertianment, and i make horror like paintings dealing with the human condition, plus i am a smart ass.
What time is it?
its time to get ill, , So i think i am going to be existing the scene here i am going to slowly coment on what i have seen in regards to art topics, this show maily "addresses" all this kinda metal works. i ened up writing an artist statement about all the stuff in the show, mainly about duality and neurotic behavior, and a time line and plot. subjects went between that ass up there to a donky kong ramp to the black box. its a small show but that should be it for now,
-=-=-=-=-=
one of the the things i am going to go over is all the shows i have had here, what they mean
So whats up folks!
this is the massive train rolling towards this next show, you can see the donky kong piece in the back,
and the "Things that make things" is back!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
So folks whats up
hummm
i am going to be giving a list down on what i am making right now
one is, the Donkey Kong barrel roll, taken from 10,000 mainics, looks like a trenton ha-ock peice, well the barrel in this piece, looks like it,
and some six figures, i am trying to resolve the figures and make them look good
what new drama,
i about exploded on the code inspectors of this building a couple of days ago,
i started thinking abut why i have such a problem with beucrats ? something about common scene vs law&rules, i think if they don't match i like to get the authoiry to explain this , there is a whole history to this in my books with me,.
this piece here is a poduim stand with a book, and in it i am going to make a time bo$$m%%%b in it, art damn it, it fucking art,FAKE its FAKE like a prop! with a clock and these sicors to cut the wires to the bomb, like a metaphore, ( one note when i started talking about the cheetoes project- to the bug box to the virus bomb or chest, the gov started getting on my site, ) odd but they havn't came back, hummm i think i am going to make a show here in SA called the "history of home made bombs", but it just going to be bad contraptions of or blue prints for the human condition,in confrontations with mindless beurcraticys,
i think a theme that is a trajical loss no a days the free sprit vs $$$/society and organizations of thought.
in this case insurances and preventable lawsuits
watch out folks the Safty Nazis are comming!
oh do i hear !
Brother Roloft
talking to me now!
What really gets me now a days ,is how people are so willing to give up/back down to what i consider a legal mindset, akin too a legal education about how to conduct yourself, even know, its evoloved more about conflicts,(lawsuits) and avoiding them. When its really solveable by something as simple as trust, and commons sence,,, responciblity is going to be a forgotten word , replaces with prevention, and paranioa and cost damage. what i believe, is we are headed for a more refined legal and ever expanding atmosphere where objects , codes of behavior and place(being the public) will look ever more strange to somebody who isn't informed, of the potental hazzards, sounds like a theorcracy, of safty and lawsuits , you got it!, all we need is a revised and effenicant legal system to make it happen,!
and you have the first in Mankind's history an America subrian Utopia where comfort rules and fate is prevented, Even God could be sued for being a Terrorist, may be there is liabity case against churchs for this, they like to represent God
