My latest show "Harlow Monkey" was ignored, (locally) as was "Franklin & Madeline".
In reaction to that silence, I had a little art temper-tantum in my studio this past week.
It was again First Thursday, when most new shows open and people can, if I'm open, travel through my work studio. The tantrum materialized as an installation, comprised of only 3 pieces. Two were signs, one saying "Good" the other "Germans". The third piece was a sculpture composed of raw meat, some sculpted toe-like appendages, and some shredded paper containing the words endlessly repeated: "You are you are you are meat" The raw meat piece actually represents a psychic driving session I underwent. The signs were meant to be a wake-up, a message to the public and this local art establishment about their role in supporting our current policies, but also tied into the sculpture, as it was a "Paperclip" German who put me through the session.
What's odd is that I was so happy to be able to express my anger this way, and what's even more odd is that I might get more attention for the meat piece than any other show I've done recently.
People are weird, very weird. Photos coming soon.
