INSPIRATION: artists and the body politic; part one

"one of the only places I saw people truly expressing themselves was through pop music. I was such an emotional child, but there wasn't much room for expression in my family, and I think a lot of people are still in the same situation. People need help to cry out about how they feel." antony hegerty, in an interview with marina about their upcoming collaboration- THE LIFE AND DEATH OF MARINA ABRAMOVIC. with music by antony and william basinski.

Shake it baby! come'on scream!
(did i see) your face in a magazine
(kind-of) doubt it! leaves me sore!
I can't stand it anymore

It's my favorite shot of you, you look so pretty your eyes were true
I'm still on your side, in spite of everything you do
We're only blood on blood on life, your pretty pictures every night
Come wish beside me, don't you know you know what's right

survivor. redux in a material world.

artistic ethos: self exploration and refinement through self portraiture, writing, living, breathing, and comeing art- myself and my art are the same thing. a constant growth. painting, stratigically placed object d'art, minimal to maximum pretension, honesty, radically so, installation with performance by myself, video-projections. lighting/lightning, self exploration again, and, to be continued as my tastes, skills, and financial suppport khange and take shape.

but the petit bourgeois philistines stayed away

they preferred their artists to have nothing to say.
