ARTIST STATEMENT:
I create bodies of work that explore subjects such as gender, artifice, and spectacle. Utilizing processes ranging from directorial to curatorial to anthropological, I showcase exuberantly irrepressible personalities who revel in challenging clichés associated with constructs such "masculinity" and "femininity". A sampling of subjects include Girls Girls Girls (the world's first and only all-female Mötley Crüe tribute band), Tazzie Colomb (the world's longest competing female bodybuilder), and LACTIC Incorporated (an avant-garde clothing brand that takes the detritus of corporate life and reinterprets it into one-of-a-kind structural garments that challenge the polarization of gender).
With this current and ongoing project "Life is Drag", I am documenting the most innovative and singular performers of the currently exploding international alt-drag and neo-burlesque scenes. I am 3 years into this project, and so far have created 250+ portraits. These are created in my studio as well as during residencies - in New York City (The Cell Theater, Bushwig), Pittsburgh (The Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Blue Moon Bar, Bloomfield Garden Club), and New England (3S Artspace).
This project began in early 2019 in my studio in Brooklyn, when I collaborated with a local visual artist by the name of Untitled Queen - a deeply beloved, highly respected, and uniquely visionary performer and conduit within the NYC drag scene who uses drag as a part and extension of her artistic process. I then worked with selected performers from Ohio and Kentucky in conjunction with a mid-career retrospective in my hometown of Cincinnati in the spring of 2019, and in January and February of 2020, I worked with 20+ New England-based drag artists as part of a residency and exhibition at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
From the autumn of 2020 until the summer of 2021, I was an artist in residence at The Cell Theatre in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC, where I expanded the project in the midst of the pandemic to also include neo-burlesque performers and performance artists whose work deals specifically with gender performativity. Most recently was a residency in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio - which included creating video portraits of performers from the drag haus ODD Presents, members of the neo-burlesque troop Smoke & Queers, and other alt-drag and burlesque artists from the tri-state area. This residency also included an exhibition featuring this ever-growing archive, as well as multiple live performance events.
My long-term goal is to continue to do a series of such residencies nationally and internationally, which will allow me to create a comprehensive archive of video portraits of drag, burlesque and performance artists from a wide range of locations, backgrounds, cultures, and ages. Each portrait includes video of the artist performing (lip-synching, singing, telling stories, reciting monologues, dancing, etc.) in addition to interview documentation, and will live online as well as in galleries and unexpected places in between. "Life is Drag" has so far been exhibited at such venues as the the Carnegie Museum of Art and Bunker Projects (PA), Satellite Art Club, Bushwig and The Cell (NYC), 3S Artspace (NH), and the Weston Art Gallery (OH).
I believe this project is innovative and important in that it is treating and respecting "drag" (defined as broadly and inclusively as possible) as a proper art form – recognizing it as an extremely vital and valid style of performance art, and every bit as deserving of the deference reserved for more traditional classical art forms like painting and sculpture. Drag is painting and sculpture and performance all at once - and quite often also activism, education, protest, therapy, resistance, catharsis, comedy, tragedy, enlightenment, inspiration - or some combination of the above - to those who practice it, and also to those who experience it as an observer. This project is about celebrating this experimental and expansive form of art and its wide range of practitioners and manifestations. It is about creating a record - an archive - of these brilliant but ephemeral performances, from dive bars to art galleries, city streets to grand theater stages. It is about trying to properly document and share these wildly diverse acts and profound stories that will surely open minds and capture hearts.

Most Japanese weddings take place at Shinto Shrines. One the wedding day the bride is painted from head to toe in white as a statement of her maidenhood. The bride wears a white kimono and elaborate headpiece to hide her "horns of jealousy:" from the groom’s mother, who becomes the head of her family. A Japanese groom dresses in a black kimono. While the bride and groom exchange vows the two families face each other and not the bride and groom. One of the central moment of the Japanese wedding ceremony is when the bride and groom drink nine cups of sake, after which they are officially declared man and wife. The families also drink sake to symbolize the joining of the two families. At the end of the ceremony the father of the groom and the bride introduce their family members.
At the wedding reception the bride changes into a red kimono, and at some wedding a Western style white wedding dress. The wedding guest play games, skits, and sometimes karaoke at the wedding reception. Guest are expected to offer the couple "goshugi"(money). Most Japanese weddings take place in the Spring or Fall, because of the good weather. Some days are consider luckier to get married on than other.

Tom Irvine was a Scotsman from Ayrshire, born about 1851. Tom and Carrie were married in 1907 and by 1911 had three children. The 660 acre, one square mile, Irvine farm in Denbigh was reputed to be "the best farm in the entire north country". Besides farming Tom often worked with his brother and a crew logging the trees on the property. Source: CDHS 2010 Calendar

This was the first time that Heather and I made it up to Scarborough. It's a good fair - not at big as the Texas Renaissance Festival (we are spoiled) but we had a great time there. Good entertainment and people watching - the only drawbacks were the heat - it was in the 90s, and the bright dappled lighting. We will head back there again - hopefully on a cool cloudy day!
Scarborough is held in Waxahachie, Texas - south of Dallas. It takes place over eight weekends from April to May.
I took these photos on 3 May 2014 - I think it was the 5th weekend.

Crannghal: Will Maclean & Arthur Watson
Artists’ statement
Overlooking the Sound of Sleat, ‘Crannghal’ is sited at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, the national centre for Gaelic, on the Isle of Skye. Commissioned by the college, the work was conceived by artists Will MacLean and Arthur Watson and made by them with Eden Jolly at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop at Lumsden in Aberdeenshire.
Taking early written descriptions of the sea-going curraghs that carried Columba and his monks from Ireland to Iona, the sculpture reflects the framework of one of these early vessels under construction or reconstruction.
The nature of the commission allowed the artists freedom to intuitively develop the sculpture, initially as a full-sized pattern made from withies shaped with hand tools and bound together with twine. This was then cast in bronze and mounted on a granite base, polished to reflect the changing light.
The tools used in making the pattern were also cast and lie on the base as if work had momentarily stopped. They emphasise the artists’ commitment to the act of making. More importantly, they can be seen as a metaphor for the ongoing work that Sabhal Mòr Ostaig is undertaking in leading the revitalisation of Gaelic language and culture.
Invaluable help has been given by Skye stonemason Seumas Campbell, architect Graeme Pert of Gillespies in Glasgow and Jane Cumberlidge of The Visual Research Centre, University of Dundee.

GGL-Soirée am Freitag, den 24. Juli 2009, ab 21 Uhr mit kurzen Statements und Geschichten zu Günter Gerhard Lange.
U.a. von Wolfgang Baum, Johannes Dörsch, Götz Gorissen, Dieter Hofrichter, Arnold Ihlenfeldt, Victor Malsy, Gudrun Pawelke, Sigi Ramoser, Kirsten Solveig Schneider, Eckehart SchumacherGebler, Hans-Jörg Stulle. Für nicht nur musikalische Begleitung sorgte Adrian Lacour am Flügel.
Wenige waren mutiger, haben mehr ermutigt, wenige waren und sind so modern und offen im Denken, kaum einer ist so deutlich wie es Günter Gerhard Lange gewesen ist: Laues war seine Sache nicht. Schon immer hat er über die Grenzen geschaut, hat Schrift und Typografie als Kultur phänomen betrachtet, immer im Kontext mit Malerei, Architektur, Musik, Fotografie und Literatur. In seiner Tätigkeit als künstlerischer Leiter der Berthold AG, in seinen brillianten Vorträgen wie auch in seiner beeindruckenden Lehrtätigkeit hat er sich für die herausragende Qualität von Schrift und Typografie engagiert. Häufig hat er dabei Entwürfe junger Gestalter gegenüber den Etablierten verteidigt. Wichtiger als das vielleicht typografisch »Richtige« waren ihm die Haltung der Entwerfer und die sichtbare Sensibilität gegenüber dem Inhalt. Hier sparte er weder mit Lob noch mit Tadel.
Was liegt also näher, als die diesjährige Eröffnung der 55. TDC-SHOW, der Ausstellung der ausgezeichneten Werke des Wettbewerbs des Type Directors Club of New York, GGL zu widmen. Und die ausgezeichneten Werke mit seinen Maximen zu prüfen: »Wir müssen uns in der Kreativität ständig selbst überholen, wir dürfen, sollen, ja müssen eingefahrene Gleise verlassen und uns auch dem Experiment öffnen. Kurz, wir sollen innovativ, wenn nötig provokativ, unserer Überzeugung adäquaten Ausdruck verleihen – neu und anders oder/und besser als bisher. Merke: Das einzig Konstante ist der Wechsel.«

“Stories My Mother Never Told”
Artist Statement
By artist Jenny Ashby
This installation based exhibition is an informed response to my research into the institutionalisation and the forced removal of aboriginal children from their families and their homelands and the often untold truths regarding this accepted practice by government and religious organisations up until the early 1970's. My work responds to my learning of the cruelty and inhumane treatment of these children within institutional care throughout Australia. My work is a personal response to the stories told to me by my children’s aboriginal family, friends, and people that I have interviewed as well as research into these issues. My artwork is a comparative reflection on my own childhood memories, and the freedom that I lived with as a child while growing up in a white Christian, farming family, as opposed to aboriginal children forced to grow up within the same period of the 60's and the 70's, behind the walls of institutions such as the Cootamundra, Parramatta,La Perouse Girls Training Homes, and the Hay Women's Jail and "the stories we were never told".
The drawings and prints act as a visual narrative and are laden with text and marks in the form of graffiti and inscriptions, similar to those found on surfaces within institutions. The text also takes on the appearance of letter writing to my mother as a conversation, a personal reflection of my own childhood and my own responses to this research as a type of diary entry. The text which is layered and often unreadable onto paper which has been embossed and treated to mimic the brick walls of institutions hopefully encourages inquiry on closer examination of the narrative within.
The use of shadows within my work act as a metaphor of presence and absence within the space. The shadows of the little girl on the swing are significant within my work acting as a universal symbol of freedom and at the same time lost freedom when used in context of the cell wall drawings.
The video projections of the little girl’s shadows swinging and laughing were filmed as a site specific installation within the Hay Women’s Jail. This video installation is superimposed with sound of the harsh locking of cell doors which echoe within the confinement of the institution where many girls spent part of their childhood.
By subjecting the viewer to a multi sensory experience within the environment of the gallery, through the incorporation of projected images laden with relative sound, combined with universal icons of objects and image, I hope to encourage memory recall of the viewers own childhood using associated experience as a conduit to the narrative. Hopefully through this association the viewer becomes actively involved within the space and therefore he or she becomes personally involved with the work as the narrator in their own right.

Press Statement
of
HON. TEODORO L. LOCSIN JR.
Secretary of Foreign Affairs
At the Conclusion of the 9th Meeting of the Philippines-Viet Nam Joint Commission for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC)
[Delivered at Diamond Hotel, Manila, Philippines on 06 March 2019]
Good morning.
Today was another milestone in our five-year-old Strategic Partnership with Viet Nam, as Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh and I convened the 9th Meeting of the Philippines-Viet Nam Joint Commission on Bilateral Cooperation and discussed the deepening and broadening of our relations and cooperation.
Though only our 9th JCBC meeting, we mark this year the 25th anniversary since the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding that established this principal and most important of our two countries’ dialogue mechanisms. And as 25 is associated with a coming of age, so is our relationship with Viet Nam entering a new important chapter.
Building on the excellent work of our Senior Officials yesterday, Deputy Prime Minister Pham and I adopted the new Philippines-Viet Nam five-year Plan of Action covering the period 2019-2024. This Plan of Action, like its predecessor document for the period 2011-2016, is the product of inter-agency consultations and thorough bilateral negotiations. It comprehensively maps out specific commitments we will undertake jointly in the political, security, economic, and cultural spheres, as well as in other various areas.
In tandem with the Agreed Minutes we adopted at the conclusion of this 9th JCBC, these important documents attest to our resolve to drive our relations forward and onward. As two of ASEAN’s most dynamic economies, and as two countries faced with similar challenges, we draw lessons not only from our gains and accomplishments but also from lessons in areas where we might have fallen short.
With almost 45 years of bilateral relations dating back to 21 July 1976, ours is a friendship that rests on close cooperation and recognition of a common stake in common regional security concerns. Today, we looked back at the status of our partnership and found fresh impetus to move forward with greater confidence.
At this juncture, allow me to take this opportunity to express the Philippines’ sincere appreciation for the support and dedication of our counterparts from Viet Nam led by Deputy Prime Minister Pham, which ensured a productive meeting.
The Philippines looks forward to Viet Nam’s hosting of the 10th Meeting of the JCBC in 2021.
Thank you. END
