Fantasy /Transformation at Brooklyn Artists Gym

October 23, 2009 from 7pm to 11pm

Imagination is a necessary tool for all artists. Like a distortion of precognition, fantasy allows us to conceive of and engage in a world beyond the present reality. Transformation is the process of bringing that vision into a communicable form.Brooklyn Artists Gym will be hosting our quarterly Salon show featuring select Artists-in-Residence and Room 58 Writers. Join us for a discussion of the significance of fantasy and imagination in their work and a special screening of the Art:21 Art in…See More

American Art

In response to the previous post, I am truthfully astounded. American Art has not shown any real significant development since Marcel Duchamp exhibited a urinal at the Armory show, was it 1920? Since then everyone has been falling over each other to figure out what else we could put up there. Well, sure there was Pollock and the Abstract Expressionists, but that flame was quickly extinguished by Warhol and Pop, the tamer, more acceptable version of Duchamp.

Why it is unknown is a mystery. Nobody knows it exists.

The Tower of the Empire State Building bisects the Arch in Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza.

Landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and architect Calvert Vaux created the framework for this continuing work-in-progress as the Civil War ended, 25 years before the Arch, 65 years before the Tower, 105 years before the Mirador, and 145 years before I stumbled across it.

In starting the “Grand Army Plaza” group here at Brooklyn Arts Project, I hope to share ideas on how to raise public awareness to protect and promote this View as an “historic visual corridor.” Building Six of Atlantic Yards threatens to eclipse the view.

Please forward the links to friends, artists, architects, bloggers, politicos, media and civilians.

Your friend, Richard

Heavy stuff but I like it very much.
Are symbols really abstract elements?
With love.
