EXISTENTIAL CRISIS (aging gracefully) - Composition Wednesday
© Erik McGregor - erikrivas@hotmail.com - 917-225-8963
Walking on foot brings you down to the very stark, naked core of existence. We travel too much in airplanes and cars. It’s an existential quality that we are losing. It’s almost like a credo of religion that we should walk.
There is, of course, something inherently romantic—if not heroic—about the extreme solitary explorer enveloped by nature. The very image of Herzog on foot recalls the iconic 19th-century paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, especially his Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, with its lone figure staring out at the wide vista above the clouds.
'Truth itself wanders through the forests,' Herzog writes near the end. Yet here he embroiders his memories for effect: The vast swath of geography between Munich and Paris is littered with industrial towns and cities.
Once he comes out on the other end, traversing the deforested Champs-Élysées (“We were close to what they call the breath of danger”), Herzog emerges victorious.
― Of Walking in Ice: (Munich-Paris, 23 November–14 December 1974)
by Werner Herzog
"optimal existential release". On $ale, and comes with artist statement with no additional charge. "optimal existential release" is the inner exploration of that moment of transition where one is freed from ego and achieves optimal experience, also known as 'flow', where infant adult alchemy takes form...

Life presents us with many and sometimes overwhelming choices. We might try to escape decisions by allowing others to determine what we should do. Then, if something goes wrong, we can blame them. Exercising free will, according to the existentialists, means confronting that anxiety about taking responsibility for our choices and their consequences. Existential anxiety and freedom go hand in hand.
THE STORY/ The „Twentythird Year„ is a coming of age performance of a young protagonist TRACY trying to make a very own picture of the world. The death of a friend in confrontation with the police and the search for black roots after an easy white childhood triggers new existential questions and problems. Historically the peace from 1988 is the 1st BLACK DRAMA intervention by the Afro German Diaspora struggling for its own public voice in Germany.

DIE GESCHICHTE/ DAS „DREIUNDZWANZIGSTE JAHR ist eine Coming of Age Inszenierung in der ein/e Protagonist_In namens TRACY versucht sich ein Bild von der Welt zu machen. Das Trauma eine Freundin in der Auseinandersetzung mit der Polizei verloren zu haben und die Suche nach den eigenen kulturellen Wurzeln führen nach einer unbeschwerten „weissen" Kindheit plötzlich zu neuen existentiellen Fragen und Problemen.
Er/ Sie TRACY versucht sich an Befreiung innerhalb einer rassistischen Sprach-Kultur, in der Rassengesetze die Existenz von Schwarzen Deutschen per Gesetzgebung zu verbieten suchten.
Hier enteignet sich nun mehr die Sprache selber. Sie de-konstruiert ihre eigenen Grundstrukturen in Frage stellend und zerfetzt den strukturellen Alttagsrassismus, um im Zusammenspiel mit Musik und Perfomance Identitätsdiskurse zwischen Schwarz und Weiss und Frau und Mann neu zu verhandeln.

Eine Identität innerhalb einer weissen postkolonialen Kultur, die die Verantwortung für den Genozid in Namibia ablehnt und sich gleichzeitig gegen Apartheid in Südafrika engagiert, oder sich gegen Rassismus in den USA empört. Denn Rassismus in Deutschland gibt es nicht.

Welche Zukunft hat die Liebe unter solchen Bedingungen? Black gifted und Blue endet die Geschichte so auch mit dem Bewusstsein um das individuelle Scheitern angesichts die sozialen Dimension und Ausmaasse der Bedingungen. Die Wiedervereinigung sollte die latenten Rassismen einer nicht aufgearbeiteten kolonialen Vergangenheit, sowohl in Ost als auch in West Deutschland nach der Wiedervereinigung in Terror-Attacken gegen deutsche People of Colour zum Explodieren im Blutrausch bringen.
Die Geschichte ist inspiriert von dem Prosastück „Das dreissigste Jahr" von Ingeborg Bachmann, die als Teil der Gruppe 47 entscheidene Impulse im Nachkriegsdeutschland setzen konnte und setzt dagegen Hip Hop-Elemente aus dem von dem Black Power und civil-rights Struggle inspirierten Consciousness Movement speziell der radikalen Coleur von PUBLIC ENEMY.

And now a nice segue from the existential cosmic horror of Halloween to the mundane craziness of election season. Sometimes, the two mesh well. And sometimes, they don't, even though you may still be compelled to wear a t-shirt backwards just so you don't have another damn photo of your back.
A "Cthulhu '96" t-shirt on loan from Dungeoneering Dan. (And the logo, if you can't read it, says "Why vote for the lesser evil?")
Mahalia Taje Giotto
Switzerland/Italy (1992)
existential boner
The project existential boner is a piece about obsession. The obsession to become a person other than the one designated by a sex category at birth, the obsession to feel at one with your body, the obsession to find your place in society. Mahalia Giotto, aka Taje, was born in 1992 in a female body and went through several phases of physical transformation, writing on skin as a child to tattoos as a young adult and eating disorders during adolescence. Taje began his transition in 2020. This identity journey lies at the heart of this piece, in a game of superimposing images to express the incessant chaotic thoughts within.
Like the spray used to write, Taje’s artistic gesture is radical and spontaneous, and risk-taking becomes a strength. The artist explores his own sexuality and fluid identity while bringing visibility to the LGBTQIA+ community.
Warning: some images contain sensitive content which some people may find offensive or disturbing.

Of course, she's right!.
Existentialists have always been troublemaking malcontents,,,not least because most of the worst ones have always been French,,, and we all know what those cheese munching surrender-monkey/intellectuals are like.
As the LA Times piece above reveals, Hillary Clinton herself has now uncovered that these Pakistani fundamentalist madmen are only pretending to be Wahabiist followers of Osama Bin Laden, to throw the CIA off the scent, and are in fact operating with minds that have been twisted by the fanatic philosophy of "Immams" like Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Jean Genet, André Gide and André Malraux - in a crazy plot to make the whole world Existentialist.
Crammed into Existentialist funded pakistani madrasars from infancy, brainwashed child recruits chant robotically from 1st editions of L'Étranger and Les Chemins de la liberté, hidden inside copies of The Qu'oran, having to learn every single word by rote, in French.
Even worse, it's rumoured that the horrific threat to world peace posed by unbridled fundamentalist Existentialism may become even more terrifying, as the Existentialists could be planning to join forces with the equally deranged old-style Platonic Realists and Utilitarians, once they eliminate their rival Logical Empiricists in their crazed quest for World Domination.
We need to launch a War On Existentialism now! Before it's too late!!!
The more I learn about myself, the more I fear myself. I’m told I should remain neutral. A Switzerland of the mind.

Title:
Identity 2.0 as a neologism
The next generation of Identity
General idea behind my work:
As a radical phenomenologist, a subjective terrorist, I am investigating structures of consciousness. I believe that life and existence is subjective and existential in its most natural form, so I have my doubts by 21st century objectivism. By the word objectivism I mean making objects out of living or non living 'things' by getting knowledge about those 'things' and separate these things from others by this knowledge.
The environments I create are temporary, site specific, ambiguous connections from a subjective order and can be seen as philosophical interventions, a new generation material actionism.
Idea behind the work: Identity 2.0 as a neologism:
Ideology title:
Identity 2.0 as a neologism is a work title; I was inspired to use this title by the exhibition context People You May Know.
The question about identity and what could be identity is connected to people you may know. It questions the several levels of knowing a person. Is ‘knowing’ a person by name enough to be ‘Facebook friends‘? What does it mean to be or know a person? Facebook tells us on their FrontPage that it is a ‘tool’ which helps you connect and share with the people in your life. That could be interpretated even wider and what does that mean?
Identity 2.0, is also called digital identity and is created to login on more network sites at once, using emerging user-centric technologies, instead of one by one. This digital identity is in my opinion an interesting subjective identity, it also points out a subjective direction to the consumer of my work. Is it me, not me? It could be you.
Neologism is a newly coined word that may be in the process of entering common use, but has not yet been accepted into mainstream language. Neologisms are often directly attributable to a specific person, publication, period, or event. I use this word to show that Identity 2.0 as I use it, and the work I created, can be interpretated, ‘entered’ in several ways.
Ideology work: I prefer to work with materials available at the spot and combine these with materials from earlier works to eliminate the (art) object and to create connections. In the small shed at the PYMK exhibition you find materials which were already there, combined with materials found in the neighbourhood of the exhibition space. See and feel how they interact. In a bricolage way I use a spider web of site-specific impressions and materials, to create a layered surrounding. The video performance Turbulence (2009) becomes one with the surrounding (first shown in installation; War of currents at The UNFAIR project in ‘De Servicegarage’) interacts with the theme of the exhibition and is now shown as a multi channel video.
Video performance Turbulence (2009) investigates the borders of the human body. By categorisation and science our body becomes more and more an object of our perception and thinking, I try to investigate here the connection with life.
The second video shows our need to connect and interact through network sites, to escape isolation, it shows a Do It Yourself mentality, but also points out the weaknesses of our digital identity.
It’s important to say that my work isn’t dealing with a truth or a certain truth, but always deals with the human weakness of trying to realize understanding and structures of understanding.
The rejected ones (first shown in installation Persuasion at BuroDijkstra ArtGallery) are placed in the backyard at the PYMK exhibition. Inspired and touched I was by an internet picture of Bulgarian Orphans, it made me want to catch this image/feeling in a sculpture and shows my human weakness, failure, in trying to understand a situation and the need to make a statement about this situation.
SPOTLIGHT SESSION
The Mental Well-Being of the Next Generation: How We Can Support Young People’s Mental Health Amid Multiple Existential Threats
2:30 - 4:00 p.m. ET
Location: Mercury Ballroom
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an existing mental health crisis, particularly among children and young people. The emergence of “climate anxiety,” new and ongoing international conflicts, and widespread use of technology have added to the stressors impacting our youth across the globe. A study last year estimated that one in seven children and adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa have experienced significant psychological challenges, and almost 10 percent qualify for a psychiatric diagnosis. Overdose rates among teens in the United States are on the rise. Youth are facing cultural and infrastructural challenges – from stigma in seeking help to barriers in accessing support – in finding the tools and treatment they need.
This session will explore:
•How can organizations take action to directly support the mental health of young people in their communities and around the world?
•How can we develop and implement effective models for delivering mental health care in schools, clinics, and community settings?
•How can we leverage technology – which has exacerbated much of the mental health crisis among today’s youth – to reduce stigma and give youth easier access to support and treatment?
Speakers:
•Dr. Tia Dole, Executive Director, The Steve Fund
•Vice Admiral Vivek H. Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General
•Heather White, Author & Founder, OneGreenThing.org

The Age of SO WHAT?
We are living in the age of the great “So What?” Millions of people in North American society would, if they were forthright, admit that these two words could one day form an appropriate epitaph on their grave.
SO WHAT? The phrase hangs unspoken in the air, in buses, subways trains, restaurants, night clubs, the streets, and cars as they head home at day's end. It hovers in the homes of the wealthy as time creeps on and the glittering toys no longer amuse. It looms over the heads of the poor who live pay-check to pay-check. Rich and poor alike are equal when it comes to a feeling of “So what?”
Nowhere, however, is it more bitingly relevant than what passes for entertainment today. Beneath the hype and glitz there’s a chasm of yawning emptiness. The bulk of it is “chewing gum for the eye.” Hollywood films, still the main dish, are, with few exceptions, largely frenzy and froth—or both. The more they pretend to deal with serious themes, the more superficial they reveal themselves to be. Even though the critics and reviewers vie to surpass each other in their showering of clichéd superlatives, the fact is that 90 to 95 percent of movies hailed as blockbusters are shallow, manipulative disappointments.
Yes, they are often well-acted. They shimmer with special effects. But when you have seen and heard all this yet one more time, when the final credit roll and the house lights go back on, the question arises: “So what?” Our senses have been assaulted, played with, seduced, but what has there been to feed the soul and mind? Have we had our hearts fired by fresh glimpses of the heights, as well as the depths, of the workings of the human spirit? To what extent have our minds been stretched, our ideals challenged or reinforced, our sense of excellence honed ever sharper than before?
Some will respond with the mindless argument: “I don’t watch TV or go to the movies to be edified or challenged or too deeply moved. I just go to be entertained.” Note here that to be “entertained” means the following: suspending the conceptual faculty during a sensory-overload bombardment. There are several problems with this outlook. The most important one is the hidden assumption that entertainment is a kind of neutral activity totally devoid of values or potential to shape the individual. The opposite is true. A work of creativity can only come into being in and with a certain moral or value-laden framework. Otherwise, it would be utterly meaningless and formless—and therefore, utterly worthless as well.
Like it or not, everything we give our attention to (by whatever degree) enters our consciousness and is stored or dealt with in some way. The fact that something is viewed as merely “entertainment” renders it just that much more insidious. If this message cheapens or erodes our sense of excellence, if they promote a coarsening of our ideas of the human potential and of existence, than we are the poorer for it. This is no argument for censorship, but rather a profound need for art that challenging to the cognitive faculties. So when I speak of art that “challenges the cognitive faculties”, I mean art that is evocative and intelligent and skillful—and that includes art that is satirical and ribald. So I don’t mean something that is linier and problem solving.
It is, to my mind, no mystery that life appears void of meaning to so many when their leisure hours are spent feeding mind and heart with what is vacuous and synthetic. Of course, today’s intellectual erosion is due to the dominant philosophies of despair and existential angst, and so today’s so-called “entertainment” and “art” is a reflection of it. It is a spiritual diet utterly bereft of either vitamins or calories fit for sustaining a purposeful, in-depth existence. It simply has “killed” time, the most precious gift we have.

A sign (of the times?) in an alleyway in Deland, Florida. Sartre said there was "No Exit" and Simon & Garfunkle told us that "the words of the prophets were written on the subway walls and tenement halls". Perhaps we just need a place to stop amid the rush. Florida, more than most places in the U.S. has been affected by the rush of modern times.

“Echoing Plato, Arendt observed: ‘Thinking, existentially speaking, is a solitary but not a lonely business; solitude is that human situation in which I keep myself company. Loneliness comes about … when I am one and without company’ but desire it and cannot find it. In solitude, Arendt never longed for companionship or craved camaraderie because she was never truly alone. Her inner self was a friend with whom she could carry on a conversation, that silent voice who posed the vital Socratic question: ‘What do you mean when you say …?’ The self, Arendt declared, ‘is the only one from whom you can never get away – except by ceasing to think’.” ―Jennifer Stitt

DEDICATED TO ART • Juried Exhibition Opening Reception @ The Hill Center
Weathervane Playhouse in Akron, Ohio, presents Edward Albee's "A Delicate Balance" -- live on stage from March 26 to April 12, 2015.
Directed by Craig Joseph, Edward Albee's "A Delicate Balance" is a dark comedy in which the carefully controlled existence of two complacent suburbanites is forever shattered by their family and friends over the course of one eventful weekend.
Describing his play 30 years after its first production, the playwright Edward Albee wrote in 1996 that it concerns “the rigidity and ultimate paralysis which afflicts those who settle in too easily, waking up one day to discover that all of the choices they have avoided no longer give them any freedom of choice, and that what choices they do have left are beside the point.”
When the play begins, we meet Agnes and Tobias, a perfectly normal, upper middle-class married couple. With a cushion of wealth to protect them, they would appear to have the best of everything: a beautifully furnished home, the finest china and the most tasteful furniture.But the underpinnings of such a comfortable life have begun to come loose. Live-in sister-in-law Claire drinks too much and delights in trading caustic remarks with Agnes and Tobias. And Julia, Agnes and Tobias’s 36-year-old daughter, has returned home after her fourth failed marriage, a lost child seeking the comfort of hearth and home.
The sudden appearance of Harry and Edna, the neighbors and best friends of Agnes and Tobias, further threatens the rigidly restrained order of suburban splendor. Harry and Edna insist that they cannot return to their own home, due to an undefined “terror” that has gripped them. With their equilibrium thus upended, can Agnes and Tobias continue to maintain their “delicate balance?”
A drama packed with psychological complexity, Edward Albee's" A Delicate Balance" takes audiences on a careening ride from domestic superficiality to a jolting confrontation with life’s most existential questions.

“One's condition on marijuana is always existential. One can feel the importance of each moment and how it is changing one. One feels one's being, one becomes aware of the enormous apparatus of nothingness -- the hum of a hi-fi set, the emptiness of a pointless interruption, one becomes aware of the war between each of us, how the nothingness in each of us seeks to attack the being of others, how our being in turn is attacked by the nothingness in others.”
Merton knew well that the Word of God is not only being uttered in the sacred scriptures, but more primordially in creation, more existentially in history, more imaginatively in works of art, more immediately and personally in human experience. Because he perceived the dimensionality of the Word of God he understood how to read it in all its myriad forms.
- A Book of Hours
by Thomas Merton
Quite suddenly I had the impression that I wasn’t alone, that there were two of us. I felt as if I consisted of two people who were squashed tightly together and felt so good and so warm as a result. I was in such close touch with myself, full of inner warmth, and felt utterly self-sufficient … I discovered with no small satisfaction that I got on very well with myself.
