Photograph Title; Conventional

Snapshot of a Rustic Oven

Description and Inspiration;

In this photograph we see an old, dirty, used oven with a single lamp burning. In this shot we see the effect this lamp has on the lighting of the oven. The light illuminates the scars and scrapes this oven has endured as it lays empty. The light illuminates the specs of dirt and grim previous users have left on it. And when the oven has done its job, it’s left unclean, empty, and apondened.

In this shot I took inspiration from a postmodernism photographer named William Egglestion. Eggleston was known for capturing the emptiness of and in American Culture. In capturing this American Culture he highlighted the effects of consumerism and we could clearly see his reactions in his shots. He took shots of abandoned cars, empty streets, and urban life while emphasizing his use of color. He was known for exaggerating the mundane, the boring. William Egglestion took pictures in accordance with the Epiphany of Banal, or in other words the manifestianon and relizastion of the lack of originality, lack of freshness, and lack of originality in everyday objects. And yet he found ways to exaggerate and place emphasis on these objects.

In my photograph I utilized an older style oven to show these qualities off. Oven food, and ovens are found in every American household, and yet they are often looked past upon. In this shot I looked at our oven and displayed it as an abandoned piece of American culture. It shows off our need to buy and use our product, and once it has finished its purpose and a shinier model comes along, we abandon and forget about our product (thus it’s dirty, rustic appearance). This is what consumerism is like within America, and this was the effect/idea Eggelestion was trying to highlight within his photographs. Within this photograph we also take a piece of equipment that is not often noticed within a household and place emphasis on its qualities, emulating William’s quality of exaggerating the mundane.

An Event for Wound Licking

February 6, 2-4pm (wound licking from 2-4pm, performance by Nonnsha at 3pm)

Baik Art

Utilizing the healing properties of dog saliva, An Event for Wound Licking will be a participatory event pairing wounds with dogs. Experimental in nature, participants will bring their wounds and participants will bring their dogs. Ideally, we can get the dogs to lick some of the wounds. Wounds of all types are requested (including wounds of the psychic variety), as well as dogs of all breeds (mutts especially).

In ancient Greece, the saliva of trained dogs and non-venomous snakes were utilized in Asclepieia (healing temples) to help treat the afflicted. Following in this tradition (and in a controlled manner), a kingsnake and albino cornsnake will be on-site. Due to the experimental nature of this event, liability waivers must be signed by all participants.

The event will culminate with a performance from Shannon Simbulan, aka Nonnsha, at 3pm.

Nonnsha is a Lo-Fi musician who enjoys grocery shopping. Chin up, chin up.

EYE-DEE-QUE (Something Like an Asclepeion)

Matt Wardell

January 9 - February 13, 2016

Baik Art presents EYE-DEE-QUE (Something Like an Asclepeion), a solo installation and series of events by Los Angeles artist Matt Wardell.

For the exhibition, Wardell will present an immersive environment of images and objects by channeling ‘something like’ an ancient Greek temple of healing. Using Baik Art’s unique architecture, viewers experience a literal (and perhaps figurative) katabasis (‘to go down’ as in a descent of some type), but more importantly, and ideally, a catharsis (‘cleansing’ or ‘purification’).

Numerous objects, found and constructed, engage with the verticality of Baik Art’s shaft-like space, surrounded by an installation of wall works including drawings, collages, and repurposed images. Several fabric sculptures fill the gallery functioning as apotropaic totems. These Guardian Figures suggest a ‘presence’, ideally something beyond the object.

Daytime and evening events will further activate the gallery a space for healing. Practitioners from a variety of fields will be on hand for consultation. Music for Healing or What You Need will present a sonic cleansing. Incubation and Dream Analysis will be an overnight event of guided sleep followed by dream analysis with a professional. Utilizing the healing properties of dog saliva, An Event for Wound Licking will be a participatory event pairing wounds with dogs. For the date and time of each event, please contact the artist at shonufwardell@hotmail.com.

In ancient Greece and Rome, an asclepeion was a healing temple, sacred to Asclepius, the Greek God of Medicine. These temples were places in which patients would visit to receive either treatment or some sort of healing, whether it was spiritual or physical. Epidaurus was the first place to worship Asclepius as a god, beginning sometime in the 5th century BCE.

Starting around 350 BCE, the cult of Asclepius became increasingly popular. Pilgrims flocked to asclepieia to be healed. They slept overnight (“incubation”) and reported their dreams to a priest the following day. He prescribed a cure, often a visit to the baths or a gymnasium. Since snakes were sacred to Asclepius, they were often used in healing rituals. Non-venomous snakes were left to crawl on the floor in dormitories where the sick and injured slept.

Matt Wardell seeks to prolong a sense of wonder while placing the viewer in a lingering position of active assessment. He is interested in how we choose to live and in introducing work that facilitates these investigations. Wardell enjoys walking on fences, answering wrong numbers, and giving directions to places he does not know. Uncomfortable laughter, confusion, and irritation tend to be the byproducts of Wardell’s works.

Wardell has exhibited his work at venues throughout the United States and Mexico, including the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco (SFMOMA), Claremont Museum of Art in Claremont, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), REDCAT, PØST, Human Resources, Black Dragon Society, Mark Moore Gallery, and Commonwealth and Council, all in Los Angeles. Wardell is a founding member of the artist collective 10lb Ape.

Times Square New Years Eve Ball Drop in New York City 2014 - 2015

The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.

The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar "drops" held locally in other cities and towns around the world.

Life is Drag_Trashique_Creep_Still 01 by Rachel Rampleman

One video still from each "Life is Drag" video portrait (performance documentation).

lifeisdrag.com

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.

Backyard in B&W - Polaroid 900 at ISO 200 by RandyRamshackle

Polaroid 900 shooting expired Ilford HP5+ ISO 400, shot at ISO 200. Utilized the "electronic eye" for metering the shot. Replaced corroded battery and grafted a 675 battery with some alum foil. Camera did great in working out proper details. In converting the camera for 120 film, I added a cover to the film "collection" area which later jammed and caused some of the shots to be ruined/backed into the film plane. However, my error aside, the camera did great. 58 year old (large format) camera using original electronic shutter and programmed aperture/shutter control. Developed in Ansco 17 for 12 minutes stock dilution. Water stop, Ilford Rapid fix for 4 minutes.

Budapest Street Directory #2: Saint Ladislaus I of Hungary/Szent László tér by Istvan

2

This is the seventh piece of a 14-part series, utilizing the 14 statues featured on the two quarter-round colonnades of Hősök tere/Heroes' Square. Since all of the protagonists are major and significant figures in the history of Hungary, some Budapest streets are named after them here and there. The primary aim of this series is not to introduce the statues or characters (all are commonplaces frequently featured in touristic photoguides), but roads, squares and public spaces bearing their names.

Szent László tér is in the centre of Kőbánya, one of the largest districts of Budapest, having grown into a densely inhabited, yet primarily industrial area of the city already prior to WWI. This region also supplied basic services to the developing Budapest: one can find the largest cemetery and the main prisons of the capital here, as well. The population of the district was even growing after 1945, new housing estates were erected around. After 1989 the district’s industrial significance deteriorated, the number of the unemployed is relatively high. However, Szent László tér (known as Pataky István tér during the Communist regime) is a messenger of the old and classy Kőbánya: it houses the building of the local government office, some educational institutions, a community center and last but not least one of the nicest Roman Catholic churches of Budapest, designed by Ödön Lechner, constructed between 1894 and 1899, and ornamented by the works of the greatest artists of the age. The church, heavily injured during WWII and partially restored after then, was thoroughly reconstructed at the beginning of the 1990s, and has belonging to the national heritage again since then. - 9 further public places are named after this king, standing as second in the row of Heroes’ Square statues.

Saint Ladislaus I of Hungary is generally referred as the most beloved king of Hungary, a whole cycle of legends is associated with his name. He was canonized within one hundred years of his death, in 1192. His reign, as it was common in the age he lived, was beginning with complicated family affairs in 1077, and by the end of it, in 1095 he has reorganized and strengthened the institutions of Roman Catholicism throughout the country. As you can judge from his goldened glory (two further statues are provided with additions of this material, none of them has been mentioned yet) and his carreer, he is considered to be a key-figure in the history of Hungarian Catholicism.

This statue, a design of Ede Telcs, was completed and placed to its present spot in 1911.

These parts of this series are available now.

It is impressive how Moghul architecture harmoniously utilizes simple shapes and symmetry. There are areas that are textured and other areas that are largely blank, and these help make the inlay work really stand out.

This is the archway in the gateway to the Taj that finally leads to the Taj Mahal.

First Unitarian Society of Madison Meeting House, University Bay Drive, Shorewood Hills, WI by Warren LeMay

2

Built in 1949-1951, this Modern building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and Marshall Erdman to house the First Unitarian Society of Madison, utilizing a strong emphasis on the geometry of triangles in its design. The First Unitarian Society of Madison was founded in 1879, and two of its founding members were William Cary Wright and Anna Lloyd Jones, the parents of Frank Lloyd Wright, and was comprised primarily of those who followed Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Frank Lloyd Wright’s uncle. Frank Lloyd Wright was a member of the church as well. The Unitarians completed their first building in Madison in 1885, which was located downtown, and was the home of the local Unitarian congregation until they sold the building in 1951 and moved to Shorewood Hills, a suburb of Madison located west of the University of Wisconsin - Madison campus. The budget for the church was exceeded by a factor of 3, owing to unforeseen complications during the construction process, and led to members of the church taking on some of the labor to build it. After its completion, the church was widely celebrated as a highly innovative church design, and influenced the design of many Modernist churches in the United States during the subsequent two decades.

The building is a long, mostly low structure underneath a copper and wood roof that follows the topography of the site, with it being more open with larger windows facing towards the adjacent University Bay Drive to the north, and less open towards the parking area to the south. The roof is hipped with low eaves, the lowest of which is about 5 feet above the sidewalk, right at the building’s original main entrance. The exterior is clad in limestone, with both vertical punched opening windows and long horizontal bands of ribbon windows on the wings flanking the “upper meeting house,” which terminate at the entrance at the southeast corner of the building and a fellowship hall in a pointed section at the northwest corner of the building. The most notable feature of the building is the “upper meeting house,” a tall space with a tall triangular pointed roof that slopes to a low eave at the south face of the building, and a facade on the north side of the building that tapers to a narrow point reminiscent of the prow of a ship, which is wrapped by a planter at the base and a glass curtain walls with angled mullions above, and resembles hands folded in prayer. The roof of the space is supported by hinged arch trusses that are supported by being counterbalanced at the eaves, forming a 64-foot span with no interior supports. The interior of the pointed section of the building is home to an organ and a simple limestone altar, with the light from the prow window in the front of the space being diffused by several light shelves. The ceiling features multiple soffits in the rear that have similar triangular shapes to the rest of the building, a glass storefront with a pointed top that contains two doors to a terrace outside, and a stone wall that penetrates up through the roof, appearing much like a chimney.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2004. The building complex has been expanded multiple times as the congregation has grown into one of the largest Unitarian organizations in the United States, necessitating additions to be built to the southwest of the original classroom wing in 1965 and 1990, designed by Taliesin Associated Architects and mimicking the footprint, exterior cladding, window placement, and layout of the original building, but with low-slope roofs instead of hipped roofs. In 2008, the church received a massive contemporary addition to the rear to house an additional worship space and community spaces, designed by Kubala Washatko Architects, and meant to both preserve the historic landscape around the original building and embody similar design principles. The building is maintained under the stewardship of the non-profit Friends of the Meeting House, Inc., which has existed since the 1970s to address the building’s various preservation and maintenance needs. The church today remains in use as an active worship space for the original congregation, which also allows various community groups to utilize its facilities.

The Sunsphere, Knoxville, TN by Warren LeMay

3

Erected in 1982 for the Knoxville International Energy Exposition, this modern observation tower was designed by Community Tectonics under lead architect Hubert Bebb, and structural engineering firm Stanley D. Lindsey and Associates, Ltd. The tower features an open green-painted steel structure on the exterior with chevron bracing, slanted exterior steel members that distribute the load of the structure’s weight over a larger area, with an elevator core clad in metal panels in the center, enclosing the stairwells, elevator shafts, and utility shafts, and a sphere at the top with a gold-tinted curtain wall, which resembles the sun. There is an open deck on the second story of the structure with access to the elevator and stairs, which sits at the same level as Clinch Avenue and the main entrance to the adjacent Knoxville Convention Center, with another entrance from the plaza in the Second Creek Valley below. The tower houses an observation deck, with commercial rental space and events space inside the sphere, though it is not very heavily utilized, and has gone through several periods of being closed entirely to the public, most recently during the 2020-21 pandemic.

Times Square New Years Eve Ball Drop in New York City 2015 - 2016

The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.

The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar "drops" held locally in other cities and towns around the world.

Opening of "Life is Drag" at Wave Pool Gallery, featuring performances by members of Smoke & Queers burlesque troupe by Rachel Rampleman

I create bodies of work that explore subjects such as gender, artifice, and spectacle. Utilizing processes ranging from directorial to anthropological, I showcase exuberantly irrepressible personalities who revel in challenging clichés associated with masculinity and femininity. A sampling of recent 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 my current project "Life is Drag", I am documenting the most singular and innovative performers of the currently exploding alt-drag and neo-burlesque scenes. I am 3 years into this project and have so far made 250+ portraits, created in my Brooklyn studio as well as during residencies - in 2021 in New York City (The Cell Theater, Bushwig) and in Pittsburgh (The Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Blue Moon Bar, Bloomfield Garden Club), and in 2020 in New England (3S Artspace).

Over the course of my 2 month Wave Pool residency, I worked with 25 performers - including members of Cincinnati based ODD Presents drag haus and Smoke & Queers burlesque troupe, as well as with other performers from the tri-state area.

The residency also included an exhibition featuring this ever-growing archive, as well as multiple live performance events. These photos are from the opening reception at Wave Pool on March 12th, 2022, featuring performances by:

- Betty Page Turner (host)

- Seymour Hiney

- Bleu Vomit

- Dandy Lyin

- Delusiona Grandeur

- Dahlí

"Life is Drag" was the 2022 Vance-Waddell Residency, and as a part of that I selected a Cindy Sherman photograph and Janine Antoni sculpture from the Vance-Waddell collection to inform and expand on the installation for this project.

Utilizing a 2 ½ inch advantage, the 5-9 ½ Santana, 27, was victorious in an excellent, fast-paced, two-way action welterweight fight by the scores of 98-92, 97-93 and 96-94. There were no knockdowns, but Santana dominated the last half of the fight. According to SHOSTATS, Santana outhrew Gomez, 683-460, even though he was less accurate.

“After the fifth round, I saw he was getting tired and I knew I had the bigger heart,” said Santana, who was certain the decision would go his way. “He’s talented, but I knew how to put my skills to use.

An Event for Wound Licking

February 6, 2-4pm (wound licking from 2-4pm, performance by Nonnsha at 3pm)

Baik Art

Utilizing the healing properties of dog saliva, An Event for Wound Licking will be a participatory event pairing wounds with dogs. Experimental in nature, participants will bring their wounds and participants will bring their dogs. Ideally, we can get the dogs to lick some of the wounds. Wounds of all types are requested (including wounds of the psychic variety), as well as dogs of all breeds (mutts especially).

In ancient Greece, the saliva of trained dogs and non-venomous snakes were utilized in Asclepieia (healing temples) to help treat the afflicted. Following in this tradition (and in a controlled manner), a kingsnake and albino cornsnake will be on-site. Due to the experimental nature of this event, liability waivers must be signed by all participants.

The event will culminate with a performance from Shannon Simbulan, aka Nonnsha, at 3pm.

Nonnsha is a Lo-Fi musician who enjoys grocery shopping. Chin up, chin up.
