Using narrative structure that will engage potential viewers through the drama of the visual story telling, my project is essentially a visual memoir and performance piece with words. Using pre-determined amount of time, for instance 3 months, I will publish in my life’s story through the art I have created during my life. Each day, I will perform in the space designated, the act of journal writing/drawing (story telling) while a film, video or artwork relating to the historical art of the time documented, will be exhibited in my space. Each day, the page will be published on the internet as well as exhibited as hard copy and displayed in the space in which I am performing. Using the internet as the portal to the work, a web cam will be installed to show the real time performance of my work involved in creating this page of my life.
During these three months, I will have hours of open studio/or exhibition times in which people can come and watch me work, see the films, or look at the pages completed in real time. Events that occur during my “performance” will be documented in my journal page for that day. In this way, time and “history” become a part of the present. Insights from today influence my memories of the past as I think about my life through the art I have made.
This then, becomes my own cosmology, using a forum that so far, has the potential to circumvent the processed institutionalization of the art marketplace.
After the three months are over, this visual memoir will be complete; the remaining hard copy a physical book and permanent record of my performance and life.
Proposed Chapters:
- Auspicious Beginnings
- Road hits the Rubber (hitch-hiking to oblivion)
- One is Not One (an environment and state of mind)
- Performance People (nudity - sex/love)
- Get Ahead (Super – 8 and gender identity)
- Phenelzine Sulfate (16mm and the relationship of psychotropic drugs to reality)
- Naked Scents (35mm, porno and creativity)
- Love Vindiloo (the scripts)
- Re-Born (multiples - babies are people too)
- CheeriOpus (9/11 and illness as a metaphor)
- Mortality and DNA (Art and Genetics in a Digital Age)
- Madonna Series (Brave New World)
