I was considering posting a chest-up crop of this, which I felt was perhaps more strong, but I went for this one instead for more variety in my photostream. I love portraits that add a layer of depth, showing the setting too. I'll definitely be taking more of those in the future! I'll probably post the crop of this shot at some point.

Maurizio Cattelan, the great provocateur...

 

Five horses which want to run (jump) headfirst into the wall.

 

Anyone who engages with Maurizio Cattelan as an exhibition organizer never really knows what awaits them. Born in Padua in 1960 and originally a laborer, the Italian artist has made a name for himself as a rule-breaker, a provocateur, but also a player of perceptions, an intelligent art clown, and a generator of surprising and often confusing ideas.

 

In 1993, he provoked audiences when he rented his exhibition space at the Venice Biennale to a PR firm that was promoting a commercial product. In 2000, he surprised the audience at Zurich's Migros Museum of Contemporary Art by emptying the halls. The only perceptible work of art to be discovered was a small wax figure in a Beuysian felt suit and with Cattelan's facial features, hanging helplessly from the coat rack. And another time, he even had the door of a gallery that had announced a Cattelan exhibition bricked up.

 

Five Horses with Their Heads in the Wall

 

He wasn't quite so radical in his refusal to exhibit at the Fondation Beyeler in 2013. His works were indeed on display there in a conventional museum setting. But strictly speaking, it was originally just one work, just one horse, the sculpture "Untitled" from 2007: a taxidermied brown horse with its head stuck high up in the museum wall, its muscular body hanging helplessly and pitifully. It appears as if the horse had leaped impetuously into the wall and remained there.

 

Cattelan had the horse prepared in five versions (he apparently hardly ever touches it himself). Three copies are owned by various international private collections, two are exhibition copies.

 

Breaking the Rule

 

With this, Cattelan once again broke a rule in the art world, namely that exhibition copies and "originals" are never shown at the same time in the same place. This is because doing so would impair the aura of the original. Maurizio Cattelan wouldn't be himself if he adhered to this rule. The owners of his originals are aware of this, of course. And indeed, the five copies of an old work now combine to form a new, temporary group of works. However, it's difficult to say whether a single horse with its head in the wall leaves a more lasting impression than five neatly lined up next to each other.

 

In 2011, Maurizio Cattelan bid farewell to the art world with a large-scale retrospective entitled "All" at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Of course, no one really believed him. But it must have been an exceptionally spectacular farewell exhibition, with 130 of his works, all hanging from the museum's ceiling like a giant mobile. Among them were Cattelan's most famous works, such as the Pope Thrown to the Ground by a Meteorite (first shown at the Kunsthalle Basel in 1999) and the equally famous praying Hitler figure.

 

The same work, which was first shown in this arrangement in Switzerland, is now in the Centre Pomdedou in Metz. It hangs higher here than it did at the Fondation Beyeler, making it even more spectacular, I think.

 

In my triptych, I show the proportion of height to the human figure. A homeless person has also been added here, which further irritates the viewer. And finally, the third painting demonstrates the banalization in the colorful context of the large space with the exposed building techniques typical of the centre and distracting colorful artworks. Biomorphic is contrasted with inorganic construction, which seems to be a recurring theme in the exhibition...

Maurizio Cattelan, der große Profokateur ...

 

Fünf Pferde, die mit dem Kopf durch die Wand wollen.

 

Wer sich als Ausstellungsmacher auf Maurizio Cattelan einlässt, weiss nie so richtig, was ihm letztlich blüht. Der 1960 in Padua geborene italienische Künstler, der ursrünglich Hilfsarbeiter war, hat sich einen Namen gemacht als Regelbrecher, Provokateur, aber auch Spieler mit Wahrnehmungen, intelligenter Kunstclown und Generator mit überraschenden und oftmals auch verwirrenden Ideen.

 

So provozierte er 1993, als er seine Ausstellungsfläche an der Biennale in Venedig an eine PR-Firma vermietete, die dort für ein kommerzielles Produkt warb. Im Jahr 2000 überraschte er das Publikum im Zürcher Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst mit leergeräumten Hallen. Als wahrnehmbares Kunstwerk war lediglich eine kleine Wachsfigur im Beuys’schen Filzanzug und mit Cattelans Gesichtszügen zu entdecken, die hilflos an der Garderobe hing. Und ein anderes Mal liess er die Türe einer Galerie, in der eine Cattelan-Ausstellung angekündigt war, gar zumauern.

 

Fünf Pferde mit dem Kopf in der Wand

 

Ganz so radikal verweigerte er sich anlässlich einer Ausstellung 2013 in der Fondation Beyeler nicht. Dort waren tatsächlich Werke von ihm in einem gängigen musealen Rahmen zu sehen. Doch genau genommen war es ursprünglich nur ein Werk, nur ein Pferd, die Plastik «Untitled» aus dem Jahr 2007: Ein präpariertes braunes Pferd, das mit dem Kopf hoch oben in der Museumswand steckt und dessen muskulöser Körper hilflos und jämmerlich herunter hängt. Es scheint so, als ob das Pferd ungestüm in die Wand gesprungen und dort hängen geblieben sei.

 

Cattelan hat das Pferd in fünf Ausführungen präparieren lassen (selber legt er ja offenbar die Hand kaum je an). Drei Exemplare befinden sich im Besitz von verschiedenen internationalen Privatsammlungen, zwei sind Ausstellungskopien.

 

Bruch mit der Regel

 

Damit brach Cattelan einmal mehr mit einer Regel im Kunstbetrieb, nämlich dass Ausstellungskopien und «Originale» eigentlich niemals zur selben Zeit am selben Ort gezeigt werden. Dies, weil damit die Aura des Originals beeinträchtigt wird. Maurizio Cattelan wäre aber nicht er selbst, wenn er sich an diese Regel halten würde. Das wissen natürlich auch die Besitzer seiner Originale. Und tatsächlich vereinigen sich die fünf Kopien eines alten Werks nun zu einer neuen Werkgruppe auf Zeit. Dabei ist aber schwierig zu sagen, ob nun ein einzelnes Pferd mit dem Kopf in der Wand einen nachhaltigeren Eindruck hinterlässt als gleich deren fünf, sauber nebeneinander aufgereiht.

  

2011 hat sich Maurizio Cattelan mit einer gross angelegten Retrospektive mit dem Titel «All» im New Yorker Guggenheim-Museum vom Kunstbetrieb verabschiedet. Natürlich glaubte ihm das niemand so richtig. Aber es muss sich um eine ausgesprochen spektakuläre Abschiedsausstellung gehandelt haben mit 130 seiner Werke, die allesamt wie ein riesiges Mobile von der Decke des Museums hingen. Darunter Cattelans bekanntesten Arbeiten, wie etwa der Papst, der von einem Meteoriten zu Boden geworfen wurde (1999 erstmals in der Kunsthalle Basel zu sehen) oder die nicht weniger bekannte betende Hitlerfigur.

 

Das gleiche Werk, das in dieser Zuammenstellung erstmals in der Schweiz gezeigt wurde, befindet sich jetzt im Centre Pomdedou in Metz. Es hängt hier höger als es in der Fondation Beyeler hing und ist damit noch spektakulärer, finde ich.

 

In meinem Triptychon zeige ich die Proportion der Höhe zum Menschen. Hier ist auch noch eine Obdachlose hinzugekommen, die zusätzlich Irritaionen auslöst. Und schließlich zeigt das dritte Bild die Banalisierung im bunten Kontext des großen Raumes mit den centre-typischen, freigelegten Gebäudetechniken und ablenkenden bunten Kunstwerken. Biomorphes wird gegen anorganische Konstruktion gestellt, was mehrfach in der Ausstellung Thema zu sein scheint ...

  

Ihr könnt euch vorstellen, das 4 Bilder vorzubereiten und alle wichtigen Informationen dazu zusammen zu stellen viel "Arbeit" erfordert ... hoffe, es findet sich jemand, der das zu schätzen weiß ;-) ...

MINOLTA TC-1 /Kodak T-max400 film / Epson V700

By virtue of their size,placement,and dignity,these youthful laborers dominate the landscape setting-an open field near Pissaro's house at Éragny.Sympathetic to anarchist ideas,the artist wanted to preserve the values of agrarian society that were being threatened by the rapid industrialization of France.He began this picture in summer 1891 and completed it in mid-January 1892,a month before the opening of a major exhibition of his work organized by his dealer Joseph Durand-Ruel.Many of the fifty paintings were sold in the show,but Pissaro kept this canvas and gave it to his wife-the MET

 

Note:A drawing for the seated figure appeared in 1928 in the sale of Mme Pissaro's pictures.The field in the background near the artist's house at Éragny,is seen from the same angle in two other pictures.Pissaro probably began this picture in the summer of 1891,but,because of eye trouble,did not finish it until just before the retrospective exhibition of his work at Durand-Ruel in January 1892.He considered it one of the three most important of the fifty pictures he showed at the exhibition.This is the last large canvas that Pissaro painted.

A continuation of my "In the Kitchen" series, this one is about becoming a slave to the kitchen and therefore losing a part of yourself (ie: your sexuality) - as represented by the placement of the apples, one touching the chest and the other falling.

 

This was one of those rare instances where I set up the shot and then decided to edit it a bit differently than I expected. I placed an artificial light in there for fill light because it was broad daylight, but I liked the warm hue it cast and decided to make it look like refrigerator light.

 

formspring won't be open for too much longer, but it is fun!

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

 

LIUNA Station, former CN Railway James Street Station, on the east side of James Street North at Murray Street, was built between 1929 and 1931 by the Canadian National Railway to a design by architect John Schofield.

 

The property is a National Historic Site and has been designated under the Federal Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act and under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by City of Hamilton By-law 95-115. Portions of the building were protected by the Ontario Heritage Trust in 1999.

 

In 1967 GO Transit took over CN's commuter service between Toronto and Hamilton, and in 1978 all other CN passenger service was transferred to Via Rail.

 

In 1992 Via Rail closed their Burlington, Hamilton and Dundas stations and consolidated service at the new Aldershot GO Station.

 

GO Transit closed the James Street station in 1993 and moved any remaining service to the Hamilton GO Centre, only one and a half kilometres directly south on James Street.

 

The Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA) bought and renovated the station, and in 2000, station was reopened as LIUNA Station, an events centre with catering facilities for weddings, dances, and other special events.

It may not be the stereotype of labor, but it is still a lot of work do this for a living. In the end I wouldn't have it any other way.

On a foggy morning pierced by the sun, my attention was grabbed by the poured silo which dates the old barn sitting beside it. Poured silos became prevalent in the early 1900s before concrete staves later took over and dominated the main construction method for silos for quite a few years. When my brain started to slowly develop in my teen years in the 1950s I became aware the silo on our farm was constructed from interlocking cement staves held in place by circular iron rods that embraced the round silo.

 

Looking through the fog framing the barn there are reminders sitting by the barn of things used by a farmer years ago trying to eke out a living on a smaller farm. A couple of old portable self-feeders lie overturned on the east side of the barn and an old wagon sits in an open space on the left side of the structure.

 

I am old enough to remember when self-feeders began to lighten the load of daily feedings of livestock. Many hog farmers used ones that were steel and revolved as pigs snuffed out the feed. Today a new 100 bushel steel self-feeder can cost up to $3,000 so even at prices back in the 1950s they were not a cheap alternative to hand labor.

 

My father built an ingenious wooden A-frame hog feeder with a large opening about eight foot up from the ground. We would grind corn with a power-takeoff powered loud portable grain grinder that would blow the feed into this opening. The feed would pile up and through gravity would provide feed at the bottom through small slots into wooden trays. The pigs could enter this small building from either side and would stand in rows like cows in stanchions and noisily eat their days away while happily twitching their curled tails.

 

This method allowed a presentation of a couple of weeks’ worth of feed for the pigs, feed which did not have to be physically handled each day by one of dad’s unpaid young male laborers.

 

Unlike our wealthier neighbors, we never had a similar method to feed the few beef cattle we raised so dad’s red-haired son through his teenage years hauled hundreds of 5 gallon pails, two at a time, full of ground corn from a storage room about twenty yards away in a far corner of the barn and out through the silo room where it was dumped unceremoniously into wooden feed troughs as the beef cows tried to step on his feet as they crowded around the newly poured feed.

 

That same kid developed large upper body muscles unlike the town kids but to this day suffers back and neck problems as a nostalgic reminder of those wonderful times.

  

(Photographed near Rush City, MN)

 

The job of some tradesmen like mason are made less harder because of the presence in their midst of less trained or less experienced people who perform multiple tasks. And these people are known as laborer-helpers.

 

One good example is the young man shown here, who is carrying on his shoulder a half-filled bag of white sand, which will be used in mixing concrete.
