10. Nam June Paik (1932‐2006) http://www.ubu.com/film/paik.html 01: Nam June Paik ? Zen For Films (1962‐64)
uncorrupted metaphysical screen white on black rectangle inside a rectangle immobile the screen is a screen the screen reproduced on the same screen
Derek Jarman?s Blue is spoken you can see his life unfolding his visual voice leading the nostalgic thickness of cobalt blue
Nam June Paik?s lack of soundtrack freezes in expectation an imploded Zen
forced faked effaced
Kitasono Katue?s ? Monotonous Space? breaks its fixed pattern with other colors his monotonous offers an emotional quality
Paik?s soundless stillness is stoic even brilliant rhetoric from regret to a callback of neglect lack of glee tight in its lack of weight white etched in black stuck in eternal glitch caught in the net a tent clinging in vortical twirls blinding glitter blurring lines a nit without whirr in nature a twig in ether a white static wing
11. Joseph Beuys (12. Mai 1921 in Krefeld; ? 23. Januar 1986 in D?sseldorf) http://www.ubu.com/film/beuys.html Filz TV 10?, (1970) Sonne statt Reagan 1? 57??, (1982)
To make people free is the aim of art, therefore art for me is the science of freedom.
Joseph Beuys & his charisma perform
his gray suit his indistinguishable hat boxing with a television singing with the Disserteure rewriting his past
awakening from dictatorship after his death
not everybody was a Beuys _he died too soon _as children of his generation we mourn him _beloved father
man beyond death a screen covered with felt feeding walls caressing wolfs talking to hares honey as Steiner said, the perfect organization of bees
wars & blood looming from in‐between our eyes our tongues rolled like sausages into slots meanwhile we?re a constricted social structure suffocated in a transparent
where is the Sonne? You want the Sonne? which the deviating patterns? when giving for granted ingenuity survives animals teach we should learn
7000 oak project for Kassel give Germany some oxygen : 5 years to complete start 1982 ‐1987 end
garden our social organism has not become a work of art _just thieves / yuppies left on our
im_______possible dreamless arid insipid land
Like the piano cover it up!
In the 1970s Beuys created the Theory of Social Sculpture: ?My objects are to be seen as stimulants for the transformation of the idea of sculpture. . . or of art in general. They should provoke thoughts about what sculpture can be and how the concept of sculpting can be extended to the invisible materials used by everyone. THINKING FORMS?how we mold our thoughts or SPOKEN FORMS?how we shape our thoughts into words or SOCIAL SCULPTURE?how we mold and shape the world in which we live: SCULPTURE AS AN EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS; EVERYONE IS AN ARTIST. That is why the nature of my sculpture is not fixed and finished, processes continue in most of them: chemical reactions, fermentations, color changes, decay, drying up. Everything is in a state of change.?
12. Terry Fox Children's Tapes 1974, 30 min, b&w, sound Produced by Art/Tapes/22
metaphorical work in the attentive anticipation of children: the four elements earth water fire air
a tomato a toothpick a lid a fly a candle a spoon a fork a bowl iron and wood a match a number of drops square angles and five pointed star or a snowflake
attracted by the expected the unexpected objects animating to life the one of physics slow is the time of precise actions
the sound of daily movements in the kitchen around the house
the child comes back to mind sees directly again
a smile comfort easiness
beauty of the flame in its dancing moving / angry when on the wet candle warm when on the dry one warm the surrounding air drops of melted wax density of shaded white hypnotic light precious hues of grey round the pouring of water
taming the flame sacred are simple gestures |
