14/fourteen

Press Release – none

Please send – nothing

Couple of paragraphs – none

About the work – very little almost nothing

Title – fourteen

Materials – paper bags, black board acrylic paint, gouache, pencil and oil

 

This is ongoing, obviously as long as time allows. The number fourteen is a framework, a scheme, a dialogue and outright critique. Then again, this work can be ontological, atheistic, psychological and pragmatic; a way to make an artwork where fiction and function deals with reality via absurdity. Can something as harmless as art be dangerous? Voltaire on absurdity: ‘those who can make you believe in absurdity, can make you commit atrocities’. Aesthetic considerations are made on familiarity, the habit of good taste, something for the non-creative. In other words aesthetics is overrated.

Difference! What difference?

Enough.

Look and understand; these are the sticky emotions of experience.

 

 

 

14/fourteen

Press Release – one

Please send – as soon as possible

Couple of paragraphs – a few hundred words

About the work – describe everything and outline the critical concept

Title – fourteen/14

Materials – paper bags, black board acrylic paint, gouache, pencil and oil

This is ongoing, as I allow it to happen. The number fourteen is a framework, a scheme, a dialogue and an outright critique. Then again, this work can be ontological, atheistic, psychological and pragmatic; a way to make an artwork where fiction and function deals with reality via absurdity. Can something as harmless as art be dangerous? Voltaire on absurdity: ‘those who can make you believe in absurdity, can make you commit atrocities’. Aesthetic considerations are made on familiarity, it is the habit of good taste, something for everybody. In other words aesthetics can be applied to anything.

Difference! What difference? Difference! It just is.

Enough.

Look and understand; these are the sticky phenomenons of existence.
