Do you ever wonder what your work would look like if you could blow it up in scale and make it public? The billboard on Woodward Avenue and Maplehurst in Ferndale has a beautiful new collaboration piece and your work could be next! It’s a street level venue that is seen probably by thousands of people each day. In order to get an idea of how high the bar has been raised (it has even grown roots!) we have some photos of the mockups and images of the past works that have graced the 23 foot long billboard. Below is the mockup for “Everything at Once”

“Our motive for this project was to undo all the calculation common to outdoor media and play with the idea of the ‘billboard’ and public space. The work is about the organic process of merging three ways of creating, rather than delivering a planned ‘message’.

Our approach was to first build on the shared interests that link our artwork; such as a sense of place and the narrative potential of landscape. Then each contributed signature concepts to synthesize a setting: Andrew Krieger’s interest in escaping the painted surface and movement: Michael McGillis’ fascination with scale and the depiction of nature; Clinton Snider’s revealing the value assigned to object and forms.

The result is an intentionally offset overlapping of three viewpoints that provide raw material for individual conclusions.” – Krieger – McGillis – Snider

Jump for joy for a job well done!

Ian Swanson’s one night site-specific performance, BRB/Total Id Pigs, explores the relationship between ordinary objects and the ideas, people, places and events attached to them. Borrowing elements of various ritual paradigms, the performance is designed to remind us how commerce and ephemera shape our reality, asking us to consider how we define ourselves, and how history defines us.

Gallery visitors are strongly encouraged, although not required, to bring with them an object which holds personal value of a particular size; preferably of or under what could fit in the palm of a single hand. Material value is not a consideration. They will be asked to donate these objects for inclusion in the performance. They will not be returned. Instructions will be provided to attendees upon arrival.

With BRB/Total Id Pigs, Swanson explores again a common thread that connects his work in all media: the use of his creative process to investigate his own personal and cultural identity, layering and deconstructing to expose the “tenuous relationship between what we reveal and what remains unseen,” inviting viewers to embark on their own explorations of existing references and conventions.

**The performance will begin promptly at 7:45, please arrive on time if you don’t want to miss it. Additional works by the artist will be on display in Re:view’s alternate gallery space during the performance.

*Music will be provided after the performance by Jennifer Paull of nospectacle).

*In addition, there will be a gallery talk with the artist the following day from 4:00-6:00 pm in Re:View’s Exhibitions Gallery.”

For a college final exam, I worked with a group of students to conceive of and participate in a performance art piece. We clashed on every idea. Our final idea frustrated me, because I thought it was devoid of any conceptual or artistic merit.

The day of the final we were in the fine arts building’s basement. I only remember one other performance. One group displayed a very detailed, beautiful drawing. Then each group member took a turn and erased the drawing (I only later discovered this concept mirrored a conceptual piece by Robert Rauschenberg where he erased a William de Kooning drawing). I remember vaguely the other groups who had elaborate videos and performances.

My group turned the lights off, and then we took turns and walked across the floor- – the floor was dirty with sand and the room was cavernous. We all had different cadences—someone kicked a plastic ball – and at the end we all walked together in a muffled shifting through the room. In his class critique, the professor described our work as monotonous, frustrating, and borderline pointless. This, in his viewpoint, showed that we understood contemporary art and we received an A.

We deserved a D. Actually, in this professor’s contemporary art philosophy, we deserved an A. In my view, we deserved a D — maybe a C.

I believe that there are two sides to conceptual art (at least for me to write about the subject, it is easier if I can simplify conceptual art into two categories ). On one side, there are artists that demand that you contemplate deep issues through an unfamiliar, creative new language – their language to tell, or better yet, open up a dialogue of questions about difficult concepts. On the other side, there are artists that demand that you acquiesce to them knowing better. They are smarter than you. They think deeper than you. They are Artists, and you are not. This group irritates me since they often rehash ideas that other artists explored at the conceptual art’s birth. An idea can only be original once. So these artists bask in self-importance while they skim the top of substantive issues, which results in an insult to the viewer and to their predecessors in this field.

In my view, Barely There is great because you get to see both sides. In fact, I believe that you can get an immersive education in conceptual art if you attend Barely There.

My review of the show breaks down the pieces showcased by Barely There into three categories. First, I discuss one of the important historical pieces. Second, I discuss one piece that frustrates me, and which adds to the discussion regarding the purpose of conceptual art and the duty of the artist who puts forward conceptual art. Third and finally, I discuss two pieces that inspire me and sparked a conversation in my head about what is good about conceptual art. Because this show hits all three of these categories, I think it is a brilliant example of MOCAD’s mission to educate the public.

Art History

The show’s cornerstone piece is a pivotal video in conceptual art, the World Question Center, 1969. James Lee Byars created this piece. His performance work shows the value in conceptual art. It can force us to ask questions and add substance to what may be the seemingly mundane of the everyday. Namely, all of us have questions, none of us have sufficient answers, and this highlights the beauty of communal interaction. The piece consists of a group of artists, which includes Byars, who sat at a call-in center. Prior to the live broadcast on Belgian T.V., various intellectuals were asked to call into the broadcast with an important question. And that was it. Byars merely acknowledged the questions—Byers offered no answers.

Art Misery

There is one piece that is merely a blue pen without a cap positioned at an angle by a red pen cap. It is by Wilfredo Prieto and titled Infidelity. While it invokes an initial laugh at its title’s implication, this piece falls flat as an original conceptual piece when compared with the other pieces in the show. In my mind, this piece fails because it echoes Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain. In 1917, Marcel Duchamp entered a urinal into a show and titled the urinal Fountain. Through this act, Duchamp expressed his belief that the artist defines the art and not the viewer. He selected the urinal, he positioned it at a different angle, he created a new context for the object, and through this process he highlighted the value of the artist’s intellectual analysis of an object (his “readymades”) in contrast to an artist’s physical ability to create a piece of art. How does Infidelity add to this important piece?

I enjoy conceptual art, but the artist needs to challenge himself or herself before I can appreciate his or her particular idea. As noted, these discussions and these types of questions are only original once.

Art Ecstasy

There are two pieces that highlight particularly deep thought by extraordinarily unique and creative voices. The first is a remarkable multiple faceted piece that the artist presents in several stages. The artist was inspired by his thoughts on his father’s death. The artist is Pablo Helguera and the piece is titled Endingness, 2005. The artist provides an essay on memory, death, and his art practice. He also provides a movable art sculpture, which consists of geometrical shapes. The shapes are made of wax and framed with wood and the artist carved his essay into the wax. You can see the artist’s hand at work, and you can see an artist that is open emotionally to let viewers experience the artist’s process as the artist explores difficult questions. The final element is an orchestral score that the Detroit Symphony Orchestra performed at MOCAD.

The second piece was Love Lettering, 2002, by the brother and sister art team Rivane and Sergio Neuenschwander. Rivane is the sister artist, and her brother Sergio is a neuroscientist. This is a beautifully quiet piece. This collaboration illustrates what is great about conceptual art. It engrosses viewers through a single-channel video where color saturated fish swim through the screen with pieces of a love letter attached to their tails. The words are taken out of context, which highlights fleeting, fragmented memories of love and lost. You get the tragic sense of someone that tries to grasp a beautiful memory, yet is unable to grasp it fully. The piece also has an organic, industrial soundtrack, which accompanies the piece without competing with the gentle and quiet ephemeral strength of the main imagery of the piece.

There are other pieces, but these are the ones that resonated with me the most. The piece that frustrated me the most also sparked the most discussions after I saw the show a second time. Does that fact validate it? Please see the show and let me know your thoughts.

323EAST GALLERY PRESENTS CAMILO PARDO’S “FUEL INJECTED”

AN ENTIRELY NEW COLLECTION OF WORK

ROYAL Oak, Mich., May 31, 2011 —

323East Gallery present a solo exhibition entitled “Fuel Injected” featuring art of Camilo Pardo. The artists reception is on Saturday June 11, from 6 to 11 pm, Camilo invites the public to partake in a uniquely Detroit-flavored cultural event of art, music, fashion and refreshments. Experience the unveiling of an entirely new collection of silkscreen works on canvas, metal, found objects and other surfaces – plus the added attraction of fashionably adorned ladies, in designs that the artist created himself.

The opening reception is free and open to the public. Due to the expected volume of attendance, 323East will erect a tent in the adjacent parking area, with music provided by Brian Gillespie, Craig Hejka and Joe Vargas.

The art will be exhibited from June 11^th – July 1^st.

More about the show

The art that Camilo Pardo created over the years is all over Detroit. Indeed, a considerable amount of it is present on our freeways at any given moment of the day. Most recognized for the design of the Ford GT, Camilo will be exhibiting his art and fashion design, Saturday night at 323East Gallery on June 11.

Though some critics would disagree (or phrase it differently), cars and beautiful women are probably the two best subjects to turn to if one wishes to celebrate linear perfection. Static or in motion, they both evoke respectful admiration for engineering and a more than subtle urge for possession.

We also suspect that Camilo would agree with this observation. A talented artist who has made impressive design contributions to the Detroit auto industry, he has created a veritable catalogue of Motor City images over the years. He also has an enviable skill for rendering the female form on canvas or on other backgrounds; this latter gift enhanced by nuances drawn from popular culture and the eternally youthful male ethos that complements and inspires that culture.

Our motor is running. How about yours?

About Camilo Pardo:

The art that Camilo Pardo created over the years is all over Detroit. Indeed, a considerable amount of it is present on our freeways at any given moment of the day. Most recognized for the design of the Ford GT, Camilo put verve in the steel curves and reminded us that a car’s first internal combustion takes place in an artist’s mind. It’s external beauty is born there as well. That mind has not ceased from creative labors, even if they’re no longer entirely devoted to Motor City mojo.

Camilo’s paintings and drawings bespeak both his love for linear perfection and his fascination for the manner in which those “lines” deliver aesthetic satisfaction to the viewer. His works genuinely seem to move – and they are energized by what is obviously a rich understanding and respect for popular culture and traditional disciplines. In less talented hands, such a seeming contradiction of forces would negate the best efforts. Camilo makes them reconcile, complement each other, and dance together.

FESTIVAL DETAILS
7pm-11pm
Popps Packing 12138 St Aubin
Hamtramck

Mashed Potatoes is a free festival of idiosyncratic and innovative cultural organizations happening now in Detroit. Displayed expo-style in the gallery of Popps Packing, itself an evolving artspace,
Mashed Potatoes is a social event celebrating grassroots enterprises, and gives us the opportunity to wear nametags.

While by no means a comprehensive survey, this event highlights specific collaborative and community minded initiatives that inspire, empower, challenge and suprise us with their unique approach to art, music, social justice, food, fencing and storytelling (just to name a few). We can all get stuck in our own corner of the world (especially in winter). This event provides an
opportunity to find out about crazy cool cultural investigations you didn’t know about before, and to meet people face to face instead of on facebook.

The gallery space also features an open wall to be added to all night, so if you have information about a project you’d like to share, bring it!

Can you dig it?

WORKSHOP DETAILS
Saturday, March 12 from 2PM to 4PM
The Lot and MOCAD present OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS: ARTIST RESIDENCY INFO SESSION
Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, 4454 Woodward, Detroit, MI
Admission: Free

ISLAND | Ox-Bow
This artist residency workshop will feature non-profit art organizations in Michigan that offer opportunities for artists, writers & musicians. Ox-Bow and ISLAND talk about their specific programs and discuss the purpose of an artist residency as well as its potential benefits.

ISLAND (Bellaire, MI) is a non-profit arts and ecology center dedicated to connecting people with nature, art and community. ISLAND helps people become native to place by:
-Supporting artists (visionaries, conceptual explorers and compelling communicators) with dedicated time, space and resources to create new work
-Restoring the old and developing the new skills and traditions of community self-reliance
-Creating and sharing a broad collection of tools for ecological living.

ISLAND RESIDENCY PROGRAM: The goal of the Hill House Residency is to support talented emerging songwriters, writers at all stages of their career and non-studio artists with a two, three or four week stay in a semi-secluded log cabin near East Jordan, Michigan.

OX-BOW SCHOOL OF ART & ARTISTS RESIDENCIES (Saugatuck, MI) is a non-profit arts school whose mission is to serve as a haven for the creative process through instruction, example, and community. Ox-Bow is a protected place where creative processes break-down, reform, and mature.

OX-BOW SUMMER & FALL RESIDENCY PROGRAM: Ox-Bow offers residencies of one to five weeks during the summer and fall. This program offers artists the opportunity to reside and work in a secluded, natural environment with a small private studio. During the summer months, artists can take full advantage of the energetic and discursive community participating in the summer program. Fall is dedicated to the artists-in-residence, and given the small nature of the program, residents have a remarkable opportunity to create a close community of like-minded, and diverse professionals.

This is Christopher McGraw’s first solo show in Detroit. The artist is exhibiting work about the beauty of war- the inherent power of nature within connection and division- the inherent fragility of science without unity or entropy. Found objects arrange themselves through creative hands to communicate to a world so less blind. The artist uses specific hieroglyphics and archeology to conjure up archetypal verses. He points at the remains of the dead to focus on the hope of the living; the work being exhibited is an attempt at sharing visions of purity and chaos.

The opening reception is March 4th from 7-10pm at Northend Studios, 2937 E. Grand Blvd, Detroit MI

The Private & the Public

(SCENE) Metrospace is now taking submissions and proposals for The Private & the Public. There are no media restrictions. All work should address and/or explore the public and private lives of the self, or the public and private nature of the lives of others. How do we, as individuals, appear to our loved ones, our friends, our co-workers, our neighbors, etc.? What do we hide? Where does the line between the private and public begin and end? How are the private and public lives of the famous different from the private and public lives of the masses? How do we, as Americans, appear to the rest of the world? How would we like to appear to the rest of the world? Does the image of who we think we are, and who we dream of being, distort and blur the image of who we really are? These are just some of the questions artists might ask when considering the theme of this show.

Please email submissions to scenemetrospace@gmail.com. Include a brief bio and/or resume, as well as a statement or brief description of your work. Also be sure to attach jpegs of the work with your email.
