direction here
by Justin Graham,
"i told him to make this for the show"
So how did the show go, i would consider it went pretty good had a good time, got drunk on thursday, was sober on friday,
In San Antonio , there are two reception for a exhibit, in the Blue Star art district one being the one with food, the other more open to the public's first friday festival mentality, over all i sold three pieces, Justin's piece, this one i told him to make about a pillar of salt went first, then one of the black cows and the David and Golith piece, good turn out the weather was good to, so, its now lead me on the track to make what i consider ahhhhh
about two years worth of work comming up about , well
i guess you could call it media culture fan art or snippets from videos and media characters,
like i have the ambition now to make a lager "Body scan" piece and a set of Condannaliza Rice , and one Springer one,
the ideas can go on , and on,
but one thing i think is going to happen, is i am going to recycle alot of the frames and older material,,.
The Alex Jones piece, i think if it don't sale will be recycled,
this new work , one thing i like about it, which is a relief form painting on a canvas is the risk of redefining the compusistion all the time, which is a abstractions bad itch , is denied , by this under sculpture deal and a set photo,
so i am back here in Brenham, redoing my backstock and cleaning house so to speak,
===
Watch the recpetion show by Anna, i didn't shoot much i was to tired to think of anything, funny,
Well, a good cold front blew through last night not bad, now i feel like working,.. humm so whats in store this next month, well i have five project planned out, made like advanced figures mounted on boards, i am now trying to blow out the three main ones, Reno,Jones Rice , i think i am going to do like a set of C,Rice to get a good feel on how to sculpt the figure first then paint, . Plus being back here, i am rounded up all the folk stuf to be locked away , making like crates for all the stuff, be done, godo bye, on to new stuff.,
----=-=-=-=-=-= this piece will be raffled off
this is the show card i thought it would be funny to say "Tea party artist gz to show at,,,, " and see the reaction,
more photos of the show and vid in the works..
Well believie it or not i am still working on it, back here in Brenham busting some A to complete it,.
The Halloween motif , mixed with Christian know how in judgment is an interesting bad mix of painting and crafterism, at least thats what Tammi was about, Halloween with out all the seriousness it being "real" or seen as a religious act, is really just cute funtime activitys for kids with all these known symbols, and things are ment to be scarey in a safe way , that about it, or all ever came to know about halloween , untill the Horror moives and a couple of paranoid Christians went nuts taking the holiday too seriously,.
Tammi folk art
As i was driving around yesterday, trying to figure out how to fit in this venters both , what kinda art work would sell off the chickengeorge plank, i thought, man my taste in art sure has been wrapped, its hard for me to get motivated by art ideas that arn't some how covertly inspired by some horror concept.
This was made around the time when me and Tammi were hanging out that afternoon.
Katie Pell,
who is she?, well i have known her for a while , if anybody recalls, she was in a video i made along time ago when i lived in the Shotgun house, i rented it from her, in San Antonio, the video was called "Katies Chickens", the video was about an art project she made where, she made fake rooster combs made out of cloth to cover a comb for the hens like a a comb glove, so the rooster wouldn't pick on them, what was funny about it was the Femmist diatribe about male opression in this pet outfit, she looked crazy and mad,. So we got to meet up for a show over in this college in Seguin,. the work she had up was sorta a collection of things she likes to make,, Soapy vanitys, sweet colorful ironies about self esteam , the Pop life. The sculpture in the middle of the gallery was made like a nursery room piece for children, it could fit this catigory, it stands up like a pedistol where you can go stand in front of the wings and grap the wings like as if you were the butterfly and all theses cute forest creatures are smiling, (they are drawn into the wings, it has a Disney quality to it like all the woodsy creatures sing praises to you,, i think she mentioned that in one of her talks. Its very Self esteam psychology, or art spun off it, something i think anybody born from 60 upwards is exposed to in school, the esteam building. Her moralism to it after 30 years exposure of it via comercials anything dealing with raising children, Tv shows etc, it is the ingrained narasism thats grown out the lifestyle of the incomplete or abused esteam, how to "heal" it. The other works like the Mick Jaggared one, were on paper hand drawn and part print. I think in SA we made a good pair artisticly and in delivery cause he have this qurky, spastic .fuck it, addituded based on our neurtotic art senciblitys and the need to go low, sorta the bedrock of populism at this point,.
