“The Insignificant is Significant”, A Library and Art Installation, a continuation of the series, “The Quiet and Ugly Artist (Hanoi, 1965-2015)”.
Since 2009, Daniel Kerkhoff, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A., has been creating his own artist-in-residencies in communities in Ghana, Ecuador, and Vietnam.
Embedding himself in a community, he develops multiple connections through creating art (installations), writing poetic journals, making art with children, curating exhibitions, working with artists, assisting art libraries and community libraries, documenting walks and the community, and just being a part of everyday life.
Along with painting, collage, art installations, photography, and writing, his art practice involves connecting, sharing, and
weaving people and places.
“The Insignificant is Significant”, A Library and Art Installation, a continuation of the series, “The Quiet and Ugly Artist (Hanoi, 1965-2015)”.
Assisting and creating libraries is part of my art practice.
During my art residencies, I continue to bring books and materials, art work, maps, magazines and journals, CDs, DVDs, and photos to the community centers in Adugyama, Ashanti Region Ghana and Sisid-anejo, Cañar, Ecuador. I also give a variety of art books, journals, and materials to fellow artists and art spaces.
In Accra, Ghana, I bring art books and magazines to The Nubuke Foundation and The Center for Contemporary Art, Ghana. In Cuenca, Ecuador, I'm connected to In-Arte Contemporáneo and bring art magazines and information. In Hanoi, I have provided various art publications and books to Cuci Fine Art, Chay Art, and Chaap Collective.
I bring art publications, art work, and music created by friends and colleagues of mine. I document their work in these different communities, creating another form of connection and awareness.
I consider this a weaving project, a form of sharing that can have many on-going effects. –Daniel Kerkhoff, www.danielkerkhoff.com

“Walking the Path, Prints on Prints”
You are invited to walk on my prints, using them as a path.
It’s another way of experiencing art like a stepping stone meditation,
a different awareness may take place on an intentional walk, slower,
deliberate, a winding pathway, your prints touching these prints.
You become, in a way, the performer, the participant, the collaborator,
your soles connecting and becoming a part of these prints, adding steps,
humbling, engaging, liberating, creating another connection.
The title of this series is: "Paper Trail, A4 (All Over the Place)" from "The Quiet and Ugly Artist (Hanoi, 1965-2015)". These prints are collages made from my daily life in Hanoi -- collections of receipts, maps, brochures, business cards, food wrappers and waste.
They are my journal, a record of my consumption and daily activities, stamped with symbols that reflect my connection with Hanoi. They are painted over,
fragments remain revealed, information becomes cloudy, is lost and buried, like memory and history.
I created these collages during my artist-in-residency in Hanoi from
February 6, 2015 to October 26, 2015.
Walking is an important part of my art residencies. I document a familiar route in the community I’m living in by walking slowly, taking photos, and picking up “treasures”.

“Playing Catch, Giving and Receiving”
You are invited to play catch with my prints. Two dimensional prints that hang on the wall are transformed into three dimensional balls, a form of sculpture that is also performance and participatory.
Playing catch is a common past time that's relaxing and connecting. It is an act of giving (throwing) and receiving (catching) involving a ball, and, in this case, prints transformed into a ball (sculpture).
Instead of viewing the stationary print on a wall or a sculpture on the floor, it is viewed moving through time and space, dependent on the participants and their actions.
It is visual, transformative, therapeutic, sharing, interactive, and connecting, simple and playful actions of giving and receiving.

A small insignificant red cigarette tin bound with an old shoelace.
Inside a collection of buttons that belonged to my Great Grandmother Annie Dunk. She died in her 90's, when I was about 10 years old (1960's). So my memories of her are somewhat brief. But I feel that this button collection that I " ïnherited" is worth much more than any money I could have got.
All the buttons have a story, and leave me with a lasting, loving link to Annie. My favourite is definitely the Red Indian head.
My own daughter loved to play with my button collection as a child, and I'll be leaving my Great Gran's button tin to her so the memories can linger on.

A village this time, looking pretty tiny and insignificant in comparison to the hills around it.
What the village was called, I can't remember, but the boat did play announcements telling passengers facts and information about what they were seeing. As I recall, this was one of a hand full of villages in the Fjærlandsfjorden where the ferries used to stop – at least until they became too big for the tiny quays.
These days a road follows its way around one side of the fjord so some of the villages and summer farms are no longer isolated. However these buildings are on the wrong side of the fjord with no road access at all.
Taken on day 3 of our fjord based holiday in Norway.
The Pogge or Agonus cataphractus is a small, insignificant, little fish and quite common on British shores. It is often overlooked by divers however, as it doesn't move much and spends a lot of time part buried in sand or sediment using its beard of sensors to check for food hiding below it. Its maximum size is about 15cms and can be found in both shallow and deep water. Also confusingly called Hooknose or Armoured Bullhead.
Area grazed and disturbed by rabbits, Netherfield Lagoons LNR, Nottinghamshire.
Common in Nottinghamshire, this little plant with tiny green flowers has quite distinctive leaves and, from the pictures in the index, its grey-green colour seems distinctive, although it is properly distinguished from A. australis by the shorter oval-triangular teeth of the stipules - but I've not seen A. australis for myself. (The latter dislikes base-rich soils, has not been recorded in my local area and Stace advises it is less often in arable ground - which is where I usually see A. arvensis most often, although it seems to be popping up all over the place this spring.)
A slightly insignificant different view. The jellyfish is more white here as I adjusted the color correction and did a major re-leveling.

Taken during our walk home the other evening.
Even the mighty Calgary skyline is nothing in comparison to something as simple as a cloud.
The night sky takes center stage as they battle the glow Grandby and Winter Park on a dark, summer night. The scene serves as a reminder for our place in the overall universe. - Silverthorne, CO
