An Artist´s Statement
By
Filip Haglund
In my work of art I address the problems society suffers from the most, but shows most resilience to resolve. The modern religious benevolent despotism, the narrow-mindedness of ideologies, the conflicts it results in, and their reluctance to acknowledge obvious problems like the global warming. Consequently the religion´s and ideologists intentional and unintentional oppression of mankind. I argue for the recognition of a correlation between moral theory and science. My artistry illuminate the necessity of an objective moral truth, as a foundation for the sincerely free and equal human beings. I choose art as my medium since art has a capacity to affect people in an unique way and the freedom of art makes it the ultimate social criticism.
During my foundation course at Nyckelviksskolan I developed a technical knowledge and investigative approaches to sculpture as a medium. Something I was able to experiment with on a larger scale during my work as set designer for Stockholm Operastudio’s production of Tjajkovskij´s Eugen Onegin. It gave me the opportunity to work with large installations and lighting design, which is reflected in my current work. In order to develop my historically, theoretically and critically informed approaches to art making I have taken courses in art history at Stockholm University and courses in architectural history and international contemporary architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology´s School of Architecture in Stockholm. Since my art is strongly related to our society its been in my interest to emphasize this more theoretical part of my creativity, hence, at present I am taking a course in PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics) at Stockholm University. This has given me a greater understanding of society´s construction, its problems and possible solutions, which lays the foundation of my art making. These theories, I whish to anchor and find expression for through continued artistic studies.
The arts have always had a close relationship to philosophy. In my work of art I argue for the acknowledgement of the correlation between normative ethics, metaethics and science as a foundation for tomorrow´s society. A society in which art bears a responsibility, through its pioneering, to set an agenda for tomorrow. Art should explore itself, by formulating the ideas of society and the Camberwell College of Arts is a platform for creativity, with the means to explore and define society.
Let me begin by manifesting the existence of an objective moral truth and objective moral values. This truth and these values can be tested against empirical science, but not at the expense of moral-and-value theory. I define empirical science (naturalism) as a science within physiology, where a person's physical condition can be measured, in order to document and understand the human emotions. It is this sort of naturalism that asserts a moral truth, unlike a hypothetic idealized man made or theistic constitution. Morals can be reduced to semantic value judgment and ontological fact-value, which implies the existence of empirically measurable objective values and cognitive values. Consequently value judgement is incompatible with a moral converging towards God.
In my portfolio I am trying to illustrate society´s reluctance to solve its obvious issues, passively awaiting the helping hand of God. The form of moral values which I describe is a sort of objective realism, not religious idealism. Thus creating a coherence between moral and empirical science. This requires the objectivity of rational thinkers making rational choices. I define rational thinkers as individuals with an order of preference that acknowledges the correlation between naturalism (empiricism) and objective moral values (ethical non-naturalism). The scientists rarely approach the moral discussions and most proponents of morals have declared science and moral as incommensurable, or that the first merely describes the second. This discussions affects the fundament of society and it is therefore an essential question for the arts to approach. I describe this in my work of art through contrasting moods, mediums and expressions, displaying the imbalance in nature and society. I isolate conditions, highlights them with symbolism, in a portrayal of an objective commitment against distorted ideologies.
We must make assumptions of theoretical value, in accepting the supervenience of moral and empirical science, objective moral realism and naturalism. This is a trans scientific point of view, laying a new foundation for society, making it an important subject for the arts to investigate. According to me, art is an Utopia, equivalent of freedom. The liberty of art, its rejection of diminishing rules, makes art trans scientific, with the capacity of moving through the layers of society. And sculpture in particularly, since its 3D, 4D and cross-dimensional pathways, makes it the ultimate free medium of expression. With sculpture as my medium, I may begin to articulate and visualise my thesis of objective naturalistic moral realism. In attending a higher education in fine art, I aim to develop my theses, and through an open dialogue with the College´s staff, explore new ways of expressing them.
Another message from the artist James De La Vega, written on the sidewalk. This one is a bit more difficult to see in the photo. It reads, "Slavery has yet to perish -De La Vega" - it's a message I haven't seen from him before, and it's uncharacteristically grim. Many of his more recent messages have seemed that way.
I came upon this one when it was fresh. I had walked down this way a few hours earlier, and it had been devoid of messages. Setting up this shot had the usual challenges of framing, but I also wanted to incorporate something that would give a feel for the city environment that the message was in. I was pleased with a few that included joggers and bikers near the message, but then I saw a dog walker who had just gone to a water fountain with his dog. (At this particular fountain, there was an additional fountain near the bottom for the dog to drink from and splash in.) They began to walk in the direction of the message, and the rest was a matter of timing.
While I do not intend for this to be a statement equating pets with slavery, it seemed rather fitting to have this unenthusiastic-looking dog getting tugged along on a leash, stepping over the chalk words.

The IAEA Event: Net Zero Needs Nuclear Power will highlight the crucial role of nuclear power as part of the energy mix. The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mr Rafael Mariano Grossi will announce the ‘IAEA Statement on Nuclear Power’ supported by 40 countries, both those already operating nuclear power plants and newcomers. Together these countries acknowledge that all available low-carbon technologies, including nuclear power, should be recognized, and actively supported. The Statement underlines the benefits of nuclear power, including that nuclear power plants produce no harmful greenhouse gas emissions; that nuclear energy contributes to energy security and the stability of power grids; and that it mitigates air pollution at a local level.

Sections you would find there
A #statement of #CashFlow comes with three mandatory sections. We can call them as the primary section. There is a fourth section too, but it is of optional nature, and you can leave it blank. Leaving the fourth section blank is not going to put any impact on the facts mentioned in the remaining report.

I can't remember the count of Wolves and Wolf Dogs at Shy Wolf Sanctuary Education and Experience Center ... but there are a lot. What a sad statement that humans think it a good idea to breed wolves and dogs for pets .. wolves do not make good pets -- they are wild animals and should be left in the wild. Just because they are bread with a dog does not make them obedient nor does it make them crave human attention. There are some wolf-dogs at Shy Wolf that are such a large content Dog that they are adoptable to the right person with the right situation - but most will be at Shy Wolf throughout their lives. Luckily they found Shy Wolf -- it's a marvelous place where they are loved. But what a shame they were not left in the wild where they belong.
I wish I could remember each wolf's name and story - but there are so many wonderful animals we met on Monday that I cannot remember everyone's name. Each was so kind to share a small part of their day with us. some from up close and personal - coming over to say hello ... some from afar - watching us enter their homes but sticking further back or just popping over for a moment and running back to the safety of Nancy's smile. Some we could only see from outside their enclosures as they were not open to human contact. I enjoyed each moment and if you are ever planning on being in Naples Florida - call ahead of time and make a reservation to visit Shy Wolf ... if possible - I suggest taking a private tour (for a private tour they ask for a $300 tax deductible donation) - the rescue is wonderful -- the people are awesome, and the animals are amazing.
Here and there small towns and big cities make their own display or host a traveling set of crosses, in which each marker represents 100 or 1000 aborted fetuses, for example. This is a powerful and persisting visual statement. Does the opposing position have something equally visible, though: something to show how life is different for the woman thus impacted?
