An artist sees and expresses life uniquely. It was an eye opener to read how Ms. Mithu Basu joins the dots of her life experiences, observations and learning’s to create art in her interview on receiving the coveted title “#artist #of #the #month”, from the House of Camel

Connessioni

Jacopo Bassano, known also as Jacopo dal Ponte, was an Italian painter who was born and died in Bassano del Grappa near Venice, and took the village as his surname.

I met Jesús last month while doing some low-light photography near the MMOCA (Madison Museum of Contemporary Art) where he expressed to me his style of work. At the time I was pretty set on a picture for my POD, but he and I chatted about art and having a vision to keep the drive alive. Currently Jesús spends his time at the day shelter, as he was displaced from his home by a fire. All unfortunate events aside, he was a very open person and a great person to talk about art in general with. When we crossed paths today, I knew that I had to take his photo (as I told him I would when we saw eachother again) he smiled at me and told me "it was a sign" that we were to cross paths today. As you can see in the above photo he was excited to share with me a piece he has been working on, wax sculpture of a homeless man representing the "Madison Homeless." The plight leaves many hungry (thus the mouth in the stomach) and with a backpack on his back always on the move. Cheese and corn can also be see quite visibly in this frame, had I shot from a different angle you would see the capitol building rising up on the right hand side, with some waves to symbolize the lakes that create the isthmus that is Madison. When I asked how long it takes to create a piece with so many intricate details, suprisingly only 14 hours; obviously the more that is added the longer it takes. A proud Puerto Rican, Jesús hopes to put his art into galleries in the area so be on the look out!

EL VERDE también conocido como AL-KHIDR es otro Personaje ,que según cuentan las antiguas Leyendas Musulmanas, se pudo bañar en el Manantial de la Vida Eterna y se convirtió en uno de los escasos Inmortales en nuestro mundo. Según algunas versiones participó en las Conquistas del Rey Alejandro Magno como uno de los oficiales del Ejército Macedonio, sobre estos arquetipos siempre existen variantes según el Texto y su procedencia, nos cuentan que al enterar en las aguas de la Inmortalidad su piel se tiño de cierto color verdoso. Pinturas del artista Ernest Descals que tratan de la Juventud Eterna y sus famosos Personajes, oleo sobre papel cartulina de 65 x 50 centímetros.

Various Artists

Wednesday 6 November, 7:00pm - 9:00pm

George Orwell

168 Perth Road

Dundee, DD1 4JS

Join us for a curated evening of Artist short films from around the globe. Based on this year’s festival theme REACT; NEoN has selected a series of films covering topics such as gender, environment and immigration.

Featuring work by BOM Fellow Emily Mulenga and other artists Georgie Roxby Smith, Jenny odell, Elaine Hoey, Chloé Galibert-Laîné, Shelley Lake, John Butler, Kevin B Lee, shawné michaelain holloway, Jennifer Chan, Shelly Lake and Greg Bath.

Full screening notes:

Max Almy, Perfect leader, (1983), 4 mins. 15 secs.

A satire of the political television spot, Perfect Leader shows that ideology is the product and power is the payoff. The process of political image making and the marketing of a candidate is revealed, as an omnipotent computer manufactures the perfect candidate, offering up three political types: Mr. Nice Guy, an evangelist, and an Orwellian Big Brother. Behind the candidates, symbols of political promises quickly degenerate into icons of oppression and nuclear war.

Greg Barth, Epic Fail, (2017), 5 mins. 32 secs.

Epic Fail is an avant-garde essay that questions what happens when political discourse fails to connect with voters, and truth is impacted by fake news. Based on the political events that shook 2016, the film imagines a reality that is both forged and blurred depending on how we perceive it; using existential currents inspired by Jean Paul Sartre’s Nausea.

The result is a surreal political satire that revolves around a vote for world peace that has dramatic consequences.

John Butler, Xerox’s Paradox, (2018), 2 mins.

A new workwear collection for the age of intelligent supertasking. Xerox’s fear of a paperless office led to the GUI, which, in turn, led to an explosion in the amount of printed matter. Xerox’s Paradox is about technology’s broken promises. The more we automate, the harder we must work.

Jennifer Chan, *A Total Jizzfest*, (2012), 3 mins. 22 secs.

A sample of the richest, sexiest men in computer and internet history.

Chloé Galibert-Laîné, My Crush was a Superstar, (2017), 12 mins. 30 secs.

This desktop documentary follows an ISIS fighter through a trail of messages, videos and postings to uncover his existence in both social media and reality. Part of Bottled Songs, a series of video letters investigating desire, power and terrorism in online and social media. The videos, recorded from the researchers’ desktops, depict and interrogate their subjects’ compulsive engagement in the production of everyday myths and fictions about themselves and others.

Elaine Hoey, Animated Positions, (2019), 9 mins. 47 secs.

This work draws reference from 19th century European nationalist paintings and explores the role of art in the portrayal of jingoistic patriotic ideals that have become culturally symbolic in the formation of the nation state. This piece re-animates the war like stances and positions of bodies found within these paintings, using character animation taken from the video game Call of Duty. The work challenges notions of nostalgia for the nation state, creating a contemporary critique of the underlying violence that underpins much of todays nationalistic ideologies.

Shawné Michaelain Holloway, GEAR-REVIEW(1)__BEGINNERS-VEST.MP4, (2016), 1 min. 55 secs.

GEAR-REVIEW(1)__BEGINNERS-VEST.MP4 is a response to internet’s “Gear Review” video genre. Using a video sourced from Youtube’s preparedness community alongside a video of the artist performing live for her leather community, this work asks questions about the ways we get to know, use, and care for our objects. Whether them for war, for sex, or both, we’re obsessed with function and feature, forcing fetish into the realm of the domestic and accessible.

Shelley Lake, Polly Gone, (1988), 3 min. 9 secs.

A day in the life of a robot.

Kevin B. Lee, The Spokesman, (2018), 12 mins. 30 secs.

The Spokesman investigates the online traces of John Cantlie, a British news reporter who was kidnapped in 2012 and later appeared in several Islamic State propaganda videos. Responding to Cantlie’s videos, Kevin analyzes Cantlie’s British accent and professional composure, constructed over many years of media appearances. Part of Bottled Songs, a series of video letters investigating desire, power and terrorism in online and social media. The videos, recorded from the researchers’ desktops, depict and interrogate their subjects’ compulsive engagement in the production of everyday myths and fictions about themselves and others.

Emily Mulenga, Now that we know the world is ending soon…what are you gonna wear?, (2019), 4 mins. 5 secs

Religious imagery and symbols of capitalist excess intertwine under the ever-watchful eye of CCTV cameras. Loneliness occurs even in the most crowded, noisy and colourful of rooms. Fractured identities span the online and offline worlds. Late-stage capitalism has left us with a disconnect from others and from a spiritual centre, and consumerism purports to fill the void; but never truly satisfies. There’s a condition of perpetual information overload in an oversaturated, neon, dystopian cityscape. There’s also a rabbit.

Jenny Odell, Polly Returns, (2017), 3 mins. 2 secs.

Polly Returns is based on Shelley Lake’s 1988 computer animation, Polly Gone, which features an isolated female robot doing everyday tasks inside a futuristic dome house. In my version, the robot has returned in 2017. The soundtrack is inspired by the original from Polly Gone, which itself was based on the soundtrack from The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Georgie Roxby Smith, Lara Croft Domestic Goddess I & II, (2013), 2 mins. 14 secs.

Georgie Roxby Smith’s hacked Lara Croft Tomb Raider video game shows the familiar icon for violent femme fatale bad-assery in the throes of orgasmic housekeeping, a scene that could be read as neo-Friedan, with her “domestic goddess” subject trapped between the banally physical and the extraordinarily virtual. The value judgments are unclear, the equation destabilized, as Croft joyfully irons shirts with a bow and arrow slung over her back, letting out cries that are undiscernibly battle grunts or orgiastic moans.

Clive Barker can write a damn sexy novel. I know, he's gay but I've always been a bit of a fag hag. I adore this man. His writing gets into me. His imagery translates perfectly in my mind. So, here he is at 20 years old looking gorgeous. I wonder what he was like then. If you are interested Clive also makes the most moving and impactful art! It ranges from magical, sexy, disturbing and spiritual. Google him.

Grafiti

Se llama grafiti (palabra plural tomada del italiano graffiti, graffire) o pintada a varias formas de inscripción o pintura, generalmente sobre mobiliario urbano. La Real Academia de la lengua española designa como "grafito" una pintada particular, y su plural correspondiente es "grafitos".

También se llama grafiti a las inscripciones que han quedado en paredes desde los tiempos del Imperio romano.

En el lenguaje común, el grafiti incluye lo que también se llama pintadas: el resultado de pintar en las paredes letreros, frecuentemente de contenido político o social, con o sin el permiso del dueño del inmueble, y el letrero o conjunto de letreros de dicho carácter que se han pintado en un lugar. También se llama grafito, por extensión, a los eslóganes que se han popularizado con estas técnicas; por ejemplo, los grafitos de los disturbios de mayo de 1968 en París: L'imagination au pouvoir (la imaginación al poder), o Sous les pavés il y a la plage (bajo los adoquines está la playa), etc. La expresión grafiti se usa también para referirse al movimiento artístico del mismo nombre, diferenciado de la pintura o como subcategoría de la misma, con su origen en el siglo XX. Fue un movimiento iniciado en los años 1960 en Nueva York, o, según aluden fuentes bibliográficas como getting from the underground, en Filadelfia.

El grafiti es uno de los cuatro elementos básicos de la cultura hip hop, donde se llama grafo o grafiti a un tipo específico. En este sentido, una pintada política no sería un grafito.

Ses études lui laissent le temps d’enseigner le Afro-jazz, Afro Haitien, Hip Hop jazz en France et en Haïti.

SORIN Emmanuel assure la chorégraphie et danse sur un thème moderne et AFRO. Les compagnies et les écoles de danse d’Haïti font souvent appel à lui pour enseigner, monter des chorégraphies et danser dans des spectacles dont le dernier « Roi Christophe » en décembre 1997 à Port au Prince avec le ballet Folklorique d’Haïti.(B.F.H) Au Ritz Kînam II il a dansé « Nég Marron » un extrait du ballet Toussaint Louverture en décembre 2000.

Sélectionné parmi les meilleurs danseurs en afro Haitien à Paris. On le remarque au Casino de Paris, en 2004 pour ses talents de danse afro Haitien dans : « let move the Haitian rate/rhythm » sur une chorégraphie de NAGO. Similaire à Arès dans la mythologie grecque, Ogou, dieu de la guerre, est puissant, fort et vaillant. Il confère le courage et la force à ceux qui luttent et est plus particulièrement reconnu pour avoir implanté l'idée de la révolte chez les esclaves d'Haïti et leur avoir transmis le pouvoir qui les a mené à la liberté.

Wutao Emmece Zoa (W.E.Z)

Eveillez l'âme du corps

Le Wutao Emmece Zoa ( W.E.Z ) est né au cours de l’année 2000 du métissage des expériences de SORIN EMMANUEL : Afro Haitien, Afro jazz, Hip-Hop, Qi Gong, Danse, et Bio-énergie occidentale, le tout revisité et réinventé à travers l’exploration du mouvement.

En chinois, Wutao s’écrit avec deux idéogrammes : « Wu » signifiant « danse » et « Tao » « voie, chemin ». Ainsi Wutao pourrait-il être traduit par « la Voie de la danse de la vie ».

La pratique se concentre sur le déploiement d’une onde déclenchée par le relâchement du bassin, à partir de laquelle se décline tout un ensemble de mouvements réalisés dans un profond respect de l’être et de sa corporalité. Les principes du Emmece Wutao Zoa restent au plus près de la sensibilité du sentiment pour insuffler de l’émotion à notre gestuelle. Car la douceur et la sensibilité sont les qualités que notre organisme accueille le plus efficacement.

Les différentes étapes de progression du Emmece Wutao Zoa:

Henri de Toulouse–Lautrec (1864–1901), was an aristocratic alcoholic French artist known for his socially unacceptable lifestyle. He observed and documented the Parisian nightlife through his post-impressionist artworks. Sharing a similar style as other well-known French artists such as Paul Cézanne and Georges Seurat, he created memorable works of art depicting the lifestyle that he enjoyed before passing at a young age.

129 East 19th Street, NYC

East 19th Street, between Irving Place and Third Avenue, is known as the Block Beautiful for its notable row houses of East 19th Street. The block was an informal colony for artists and writers in the 1920s and 1930s, such as author Ida Tarbell, painter Cecilia Beaux, and the sculptor Zolnay. Music critic and novelist Carl Van Vechten, lived at 151 East 19th Street and with his neighbors, painters George Bellows and Robert Chanler, threw wild parties, about which Ethyl Barrymore commented, "I went there in the evening a young girl and came away in the morning an old woman."

Frederick J. Sterner, the architect credited with starting the revival of the block in the early 20th century, lived at No. 139, which he coated with stucco and decorated with colored tiles. A few other houses on the block have similar stucco, and some have unusual artistic touches like the pair of jockey statues at No. 141 and the nuzzling giraffes above the door at No. 149.

One of Manhattan's most interesting landmarks is the picturesque stable-studio at 129 East 19th Street. Charles Moran, an importer, built a town house at 24 Gramercy Park in 1847 on a lot stretching back to the north side of 19th Street between Irving Place and Third Avenue. Moran still had not built on the 19th Street side of the lot when he sold the house in 1855 to James Couper Lord. It was Lord, an iron merchant and philanthropist, who built the two-story stable at 129 East 19th Street in 1861.

A later account stated that the building never was used as a stable, and census records for the Lords and neighboring families show no coachmen or stablemen living on their properties. There is no record of the Lord stable's appearance in the 19th century.

The first account of its 19th-century occupancy is a 1903 article in The New York Times, which attributed its diamond-paned leaded glass windows to an unidentified glass worker who occupied it for some time in the 1890's. Indeed, classified directories show that Craig F. R. Drake, "stained-glass maker," leased and occupied the building for a year, in 1899.

In 1903, a new lessee, F. Berkeley Smith, filed plans to convert what was described as a studio into a residence. Smith was trained as an architect but was apparently independently wealthy -- he summered in Paris and wrote "The Real Latin Quarter," "How Paris Amuses Itself" and other books. He had worked with the architect R.H. Robertson, and a Robertson employee, August Pauli, designed extensive interior alterations for the 19th Street house.

Smith installed fireplaces for heat -- a Bohemian touch in a time when a furnace was considered civilized -- two bedrooms, a boudoir for Mrs. Smith and a trunk room, all furnished with wooden wainscotting, antique metal lamps, furniture and art work.

A photograph taken by Joseph Byron in 1904 shows a brick stable with neo-Gothic trim, window moldings, bottle-end stained glass and other artistic touches. In 1903, The Times wrote that there was "no more picturesque exterior" in the whole city, "none so riotously gay in color" with window boxes of geraniums, evergreen shrubs, bright brass hardware, green painted brick and white trim, "an exterior that attracts the attention of the least observant passerby."

ABOUT THE BLOCK BEAUTIFUL

The picturesque little ''block beautiful' is a mixed bag of houses on 19th Street between Irving Place and Third Avenue. A variety of owners there are making changes that reflect multiple attitudes toward the individual buildings and even the block as a whole. Brick and brownstone rowhouses went up on 19th Street in the 1840's and 1850's, especially after the establishment of Gramercy Park in 1845. Although conceived as upper-class accommodations, half a century later they were simply aging housing, especially as newer districts with newer houses opened up farther north.

The usual pattern for such districts was a gentle slide into middle- and working-class housing -- Victorian gentry showed a distinct distaste for settling in anything but virgin territory. It took Frederick Sterner to reverse this trend. Born in London in the 1860's, Sterner emigrated to the United States in 1882 and practiced architecture in Colorado before coming to New York in 1906. He took an office on Fifth Avenue near 19th Street and rented space in an old house at 23 West 20th Street.

Casting about for a place to build his own house, Sterner was discouraged by high land prices in more desirable areas farther north, and then determined to make over a house to his own taste closer to the business section of town. He bought an old brick house at 139 East 19th Street and gave it what became his signature touch -- a coat of tinted stucco, shutters, decorative ironwork and a projecting tile roof. Sterner carefully used old brick and polychromed tile panels to give his design an informal, handmade character -- the direct opposite of the showy limestone town houses that were still in favor farther uptown.

On a block of aging brick and brownstone, the effect was dazzling, something like Bob Dylan's shift from scruffy folk music to electric guitar in the 1960's. Sterner used inventive and brilliantly colored tile work around the doorway of 139 East 19th Street -- even the tiled planters are still miraculously intact. Sterner's example attracted others interested in a slightly bohemian location, among them Joseph B. Thomas, a banker and polo player, who had the architect redo 135 East 19th Street into a picturesque Gothic house.

But Sterner bought more houses on the block and, also working with other owners, gradually spread his delicate Mediterranean style to at least eight of them, enough so that the Sterner style quickly became the dominant character and was even imitated by other designers. In 1911 House Beautiful praised Sterner's work and added, ''Why does anyone build a city house when a remodeled one can be made so fascinating?''

Harriet Gillespie, writing in American Homes and Gardens in 1914, described 19th Street as a ''block beautiful,'' a term that had been in general use since the turn of the century, when reformers first considered how to stabilize aging neighborhoods.

Working for Thomas, Sterner also designed the dramatic half-timbered apartment house at 132 East 19th Street. Completed in 1911, it was soon home to the muckraking author Ida Tarbell, the society painter Cecilia Beaux and the stockbroker Chester Dale, who was then beginning to assemble his great art collection. The architect's brother, the painter Albert Sterner, also lived at No. 132.

THE painter George Bellows took over an old house at 146 East 19th Street, adding an attic studio, and the painter-muralist Robert Winthrop Chanler had a studio at No. 147; perhaps it was he who added the surprising colored panel over the doorway of two giraffes, with necks intertwined.

Writing in The New York Times in 1921, Helen Lowrey, a reporter, firmly credited Sterner with the idea of the picturesque ''Italian'' front and the entire idea of reviving older neighborhoods for upper-class occupancy. By that time developments at Turtle Bay, Sutton Place and other areas had spread Sterner's ideas widely.

In 1914 Sterner moved up to 63d Street between Lexington and Third Avenues and repeated the block beautiful process there, finally building his own magnificent house at the southwest corner of 65th Street and Lexington. In 1925 he moved to London, and never practiced again in New York; he died in Rome in 1931.

Gradually East 19th Street between Irving and Third became the block beautiful, as other efforts faded away, and it was included in the Landmarks Preservation Commission's Gramercy Park Historic District, designated in 1966. Many minor changes have been made to the houses, both before and after landmark designation. The Thomas residence, now owned by Oleg Cassini, is unchanged, but the stucco-front Sterner houses have lost many of their distinctive elements -- in some cases shutters have been removed, in others the pastel colors have been toned down. Some previous owner destroyed Sterner's distinctive tile and brick entryway at 145 East 19th Street, and in 1992 Lee Ann Jaffee, working with the architect Richard Ayotte, decided to substitute a nominally Greek revival doorway, but the effect does not reverse the earlier dilution of the house's character.

Next door, at 147 East 19th Street, someone has chopped away at the two giraffes to put in an electrical conduit.

At 143 East 19th Street Lynn Wagenknecht has one of the few intact mid-century houses, and her architect, Thomas Tsue, has been restoring that building to its original character.

On the south side of the block other architects are more in evidence. In 1924 the architect Frank Forster stripped the mid-19th-century brownstone at 142 and gave it a neat Dutch door and supremely intelligent ironwork. Despite an extensive interior alteration, the front has been left lovingly unrestored by the new owners. Cicognani Kalla Architects designed the recent alteration, and Pietro Cicognani says ''there's some beauty in being anonymous.'' And at 128 East 19th Street, an unidentified designer put some trim Art Moderne ironwork up on the house of the late Lincoln Kirstein, co-founder of the New York City Ballet, probably after Kirstein bought it in 1953.

At the apartment house at 132 East 19th Street, now a co-op, the board has just finished replacing the four stone spheres on the pillars in front, and Jonathan Foster, the board president, says that they are gradually restoring the entire front to Sterner's original designs.

ABOUT GRAMERCY PARK

The area which is now Gramercy Park was once in the middle of a swamp. In 1831 Samuel B. Ruggles, a developer and advocate of open space, proposed the idea for the park due to the northward growth of Manhattan. He bought the property, which was then a farm called "Gramercy Farm", from James Duane, a descendant of Peter Stuyvesant. Ruggles developed the property: he landscaped it, drainied the swamp, and caused about a million horsecart loads of earth to be moved. He then laid out "Gramercy Square", deeding possession of the square to the owners of the 60 parcels of land he had plotted to surround it, and sought tax-exempt status for the park, which the Board of Alderman granted in 1832. It was the second private square created in the city, after Hudson Square, also known as St. John's Park, which was laid out by the parish of Trinity Church. Numbering of the lots began at #1 on the northwest corner, on Gramercy Park West, and continued counter-clockwise: south down Gramercy Park West, then west to east along Gramercy Park South (East 20th Street), north up Gramercy Park East, and finally east to west along Gramercy Park North (East 21st Street). Landscaping and construction of Gramcery Park occured between 1833 and 1844.

At #34 and #36 Gramercy Park (East) are two of New York's first apartment buildings, designed in 1883 and 1905. Elsewhere in the neighborhood, nineteenth century brownstones and carriage houses abound, though the 1920s brought the onset of tenant apartments and skyscrapers to the area.

On September 20, 1966, a part of the Gramercy Park neighborhood was designated an historic district, and extended in 1988. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
