another avian sketch…with a vague yet insistent message

this was part of my notes for my sexuality and modernity art history class and i am trying to place its context, but it could really apply to many things…

does it suggest that art is not about just displaying a finished product, it has to go further?

or was it that a minority group can not be satisfied by it’s portrayal in the public eye/media?

or can we not accept what we see as being exactly what we think it is that there are many ways to view the world?

whatever it means, it’s a great call to action.

“it feels cool to be in memphis” said one elvis fanatic to another in jim jarmusch’s film mystery train centering on 3 stories unfolding amid the desolate surroundings of memphis tennessee.. overall the movie was pretty good but i was completely transfixed by the first story of these two kids from japan who made a pilgrimage to graceland. their very presence there transforms the space into this foreign land where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. the way they perceived this small southern town as this glamorous place filled with rock n’ roll history.
i guess that’s what graceland is all about…

i am currently very relieved to have my installation proposal done & submitted and with no more deadlines hanging over my head, and time to finally start reading middlesex, which my mother recommended forever ago… also fully immersing myself in the world of veronica mars.

here’s a peek at my installation proposal
the idea has been lingering in my mind for about a year
and i would love the chance to finally bring it to life.

i’m troubled over the title though…
the thing is i have already used the title that i want to name this one.
i was originally considering this installation for a show last year
and i changed my mind for that installation but kept the title
even though it didn’t entirely fit with that project.

i think i just might have to re-use the title.
it’s called transhorizon
