I sent out a couple of visual concepts and possibilities to Jean Paul Niko for photography. He says he is in. Like all of us New York people he is quite busy, this is set on its track now. Fantastic.
I'm refraining from writing longish theoretical concepts about "Bloody Hands", though they are all in my head. Art history is, contemporary philosophy is.
I will use twitter for my urge to communicate artist statements. I'm reminded of a great art thing the German artist and my friend, Mark Formanek, did in the late 80s - it might be still ongoing. The "archive of 100 statements".
Random people send in 100 random statements. He, in a very steam punk way, put those statements type writer written on sheets and exhibits the archive. I hope he still has it.
I would love to see my 100 statements from back then. Mine were obviously ;) not random, but followed a very complicated art-within-art concept. Some people have to smash their brain against the wall many times, before it starts working. I'm pleading guilty.
Gee, Mark Formanek is so steam-steam punk, there is so few online. He didn't even have a cell phone some years ago.
Great artist! His last project I could find is this http://www.standard-time.com/
Very pretty. I wonder who convinced him to make this an iPhone application. Haha.
I'll create a twitter account now, for my 1000 and another one statements. Smash my head against the wall again until it's really bloody, so that I can raise my hands to hold it. Oh yeah. I start loving being guilty.
