<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> When people ask me next semester how
my time has been in Germany, I don’t think there’ll be words and time enough to
explain how much I had experienced this summer. I am still reflecting how my time
there has influenced my work but in the meantime I know it had greatly
influenced my life. I had made friends at the famous Spinnerei from artists who
have permanent studios there to other international artists that hail from
Beligum, Italy, Denmark, Holland, Australia, Poland, Croatia, France, and
Mauritius (French Island off Madagascar). Its good to know you have friends
from other parts of the world if I ever visit their homeland and need a place
to stay. I am going to miss Leipzig altogether, truly a great energy for
artists to live and do their practice. Germany is a beautiful country I just
wish I had experience more of it although I had visited many sites such as
Documenta (13) at Kassel, Dresden, Berlin, and even to Nuremberg with Edgar
Jerins to see the Albrecht Durer show. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Every 5 years dOCUMENTA take over Kassel over the 100 days it showcase the cultural world standing. The dOCUMENTA is a holistic presentation of artists that may not be known in art history books but are important to history. Thinkers, philosophers, anthropologists, scientists were asked to participant in this year dOCUMENTA curated every year by one curator. This year curator is Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. I'm glad the dOCUMENTA took place while we were here. </div>

<a href="http://www.cardiffmiller.com/">Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller </a>the Canadian duo collaborated on a video walk at dOCUMENTA (13). I took this video walk at Kassel train station with a Ipod and headphone in hand interfacing between cinem and theater and the actual site-specific space the video was documented. The audio of the video walk runs simultaneously with the acoustic pereption of the space making you believe the sound from the video is from your reality. A central artitic element in Cardiff/Miller work is the intimate relationship between viewers and the sounds in their immediate vicinity: sound simulates the promximity of a person within whispering ditsance make the experience a hyper-realistic aural perception. <a href="http://www.hausderkunst.de/index.php?id=83&no_cache=1&no_cache=1&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=1961&L=1">Cardiff/Miller and Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev (curator of dOCUMENTA (13) artist's talk.</a><br />

On Saturday June 9th we were at a bar in Kassel and heard honking and people waving German's flags which only mean one thing. German past Portuguese in Union of European Football Association Championship game 1 (1-0). Next they will face the Netherlands on June 13th.

It is dedicated to artistic research and forms of imagination that explore commitment, matter, things, embodiment, and active living in connection with.<br />
dOCUMENTA is driven by a holistic and non-logocentric vision that is skeptical of the presisting belief in economic growth. There are four conditions that put into play of dOCUMENTA:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>On stage. I am playing a role, I am a subject in the act of by other re-performing.</li>
<li>Under seige. I am encircled by the other, besieged by others.</li>
<li>In a state of hope, or optimism. I dream, I am the dreaming subject of anticipation. </li>
<li>On retreat. I am withdrawn, I choose to leave the others, I sleep. </li>
</ul>
<div>
These 4 conditions take place in four locations which dOCUMENTA is physically and concepturally sited- Kassel, Kabul, Alexandria/Cairo and Banff. Thee places are phenomenal spatialities that embody the four conditions. </div>

I still can't believe Anna-Louise is trying to not only get Neo Rauch to come to LIA to critique our work but also his counterpart David Schnell (1971 Bergish Gladbach, Germany) from the Academy of Visual Art where most of these artist later teach at New Leipzig School of Fine Art.<br />
<a href="http://www.eigen-art.com/index.php?article_id=92&clang=0">Galerie EIGEN+ART: David Schnell</a><br />
Schnell co-founder of the Berlin Liga Galerie with Arno Rink is an abstraction landscape painter who have viewer reflect on nature being undercut by our direct, urban surroundings. Much like Neo Rauch his paintings reflect a multiple perspective angle but instead of figures with our surroundings using bright colors. His perspective come straight from Renaissance sacred geometry (Jacobsmeyer would appreciate) but also from today calculated video game first person simulation. His landscape are formed at the point where disjuncture comes in a video game world at the point where everything seem to fail and fall apart where scene break up into pile of components.<br />
<br />
It be quite interesting to see how Schnell will view my different perspective painting. As well Schnell work has a few words to say about the failure of Germany government falling apart after the fall of Berlin wall. He can speak into my thoughts of German agricultural reform and ecology renewal of energy. The sense of speed of time is important to his work and passage of time. I wonder how he will view my passage of time in how I paint time through narration and figuration.<br />
<br />
Schnell exhibited in Europe, Korea, China, and United States. He had recent work in this year Frieze Art Fair New York 2012, and the Armory Show 2010,<br />

Funny story we got to Berlin at 5:30 am and our transfer connecting flight to Berlin leaves at 6:30. We almost miss our flight because we didn't realize how big Frankfurt Airport is from our arrival gate to the other gate. As well we had to go through German International Customs and security checkpoint again which by the time we got there they were preparing to close the gate but luckily we were able to board.</div>

Ashcherlet. Its my first time in Germany and I had hard that people travel to German just to drive super-fast on the highway. I learn quickly that driving 120 km/75mph or faster is the norm. We arrived and apparently everyone imaginable in Germany art world was there. Anna was pointing left and right art dealers, art collectors, gallery directors all of which I had forgotten their names. We were star struck to be shaking hands and eating side-by-side at the the after party with Neo Rauch himself. (Apparently Neo Rauch's personal studio is just the floor above our studio at the Spinnerei)</div>

The Grauer Hober was home of Neo Rauch's opening of his foundation and what a treat it was to celebrate on our first day in Germany. Food of plenty and drinks & wine at this three-store restaurant dining with a fire-pit outdoors. We were invited to this private event and even had the opinion if we wanted to sleepover at a nearby prison which they turned into a loft but declined. </div>

I still can't imagine the space we were given. 13ft ceiling with two big 24ft walls with big glass windows which two of us share is a dream. If there is even a dream studio, it would look very similar to this. Imagine how much work we can produce here and the possibilities of upscaling our work. That is why I am working right now on this 138"x 63" canvas (biggest painting I had done yet). Hope I'm ready for this.</div>

<b>Kanal River in Leipzig, Germany. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here what I learn about Leipzig so far. Leipzig was once an industrial city home of textile factories like Spinnerei but after World War II Leipzig became a ghost town with not much employment. Leipzig now though is one of the two largest cities in the state of Saxony, Germany. Although there's not much businesses still it is recuperating with artist that want to come and making it their home. It rival Berlin for Germany art and cultural scene with big names such as Neo Rauch, Jim Whiting, Aris Kalaizis, Matthias Weischer and artists from New Leipzig School. Since Leipzig is less populated than Berlin more artist prefer living here because of the cheap rent and artists can get free housing if they have a social art project proposed. </div>

<b>128 years old cotton. What I learn about the history of the Spinnerei.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei 10 acre site in 1884 was once the largest cotton mill company on the continent with housing over 240,000 spindles. This place once employed thousands of women which helped produced sewing thread at the three Spinnerei. It was its own city within Leipzig with housing for their workers, training school, gardens for worker food, fire brigade, powerhouse, doctors, etc. In 1993 when the company production came to an end a Western German buyer by Regina Lenk purchased the site. The owner allowed empty rooms to be used for alternative projects-architecture firms and few artists to give workshops. After Regina Lenk closed three owners Florian Busse (Heintz & Co.), Tillmann Sauer and Gertaim Schultz bought the place seeing the potential the space had for "tentants". The artist Jim Whiting in 2002 brought his project "Bimbotown" a robotic art environment to the Spinnerei. Soon a not-for-profit contemporary art center took over Hall 14, the largest of the Spinnerei buildings. Artist-run galleries followed for this artist colony with Dogenhaus, ASPN, Galerie Kleindienst and maerzgalerie. On May 1st, 2005 galleries opened their new space for the first time. Followed by international galleries once the Spinnerei gain reputation Brooklyn's Pierogi gallery and London's Fred gallery. Welcome to the Spinnerei.</div>

Thanks to Anna's wonderful LIA assistant Kristina, she's so wonderful in giving us a tour of the Spinnerei today and other helpful things such as organizing LIA events and helping us fix our bikes.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hal Le 14 is a public space where you can find a public art library, art events partnered by Columbus Art Foundation and Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig. Also I discovered that former NYAA alumni Candace A. Goodrich is housing an art project at Hal Le 14 called One-sided Story as the director there from May 2012-April 2013 (she also was an artist-in-residence at the Pilotenkueche in Leipzig, Germany). </div>

I still can't believe it been a year. Sorry for not posting any updates been so busy with my summer vacation oversea in Asia and moving right away to New York City for graduate school at the New York Academy of Art. I have grown a lot over the year and feel like a New Yorker within these past 9-10 months. My favorite memories of New York is when I realize how things a lot smaller, living area, bumping shoulder-to-shoulder with other people on the subway, and when you mistake a rat for a squirrel in NYC parks. I don't miss the rats at all seeing those beady eyes and little things crawling along the wall of my studio outside of school. Oh yeah I have an outside studio on West Broadway near Canal intersection with other freelancer artists (only temporarily though).<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"><b>New York Academy of Art (NYAA)</b></span><br />
What do I not like about this school...<br />
I think its a great artist community not just an institution having a lot of recognition over the years with alumni who are getting notice in New York such as Alyssa Monk, Will Kurtz, John O'Reilly, and most recent alumni Aleah Chapin (finalist of the National Portrait Gallery BP Portrait award).<br />
<br />
Several of the talent Alumni had gone back to teach at this great institution which I had the privilege of studying with.<br />
<br />
<b>Jean-Pierre Roy </b>alumni of NYAA in 2002 and fellow 2003. I had the privilege of being in his Direct and Indirect Painting this past year which he had been a help to my visual grammar development of understanding light, color palettes, underpainting technique. http://www.jean-pierreroy.com/Jean-PierreRoy.com.html<br />
<br />
<b>John Jacobmeyer</b> a Yale alumni served as a great resource for my understanding of composition taking his Composition and Design I & II. His sly humor might get some use to but he has a great depth of art history from an artist point-of-view. I learn a great deal about geometry in composition, open & close form composition, reading a composition semoitically, etc. He was also my direct connect to New York Academy visiting my undergraduate at George Mason to give an artist lecture as well critique my body of work. http://www.johnjacobsmeyer.com/<br />
<br />
<b>Edgar Jerin</b> an alumni from Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art come dress casually west-coat hawaiian beach shirt each class but don't be fool by his lax demeanor. His work is inspiring showing a lot of dedication to his practice as a painter although he is know primarily for his larger-than-life charcoal drawings of his personal struggle growing up. His intensity in his work show in how he teach with I believe the best attendance of any class I have so far at NYAA I don't believe many people miss his class because how much attention he give toward his students.<br />
<br />
<b>Frederick Mershimer</b> one of the best professor I had yet being a beginner at printmaking. I only had a brief introduction with printmaking taking a silkscreen and intaglio beginning introduction class at my undergrad. I want to get into printmaking again and knew this was the class I should take. I had to learn how unforgiving printmaking on copper is. To erase marks I learn quickly you have to sandpaper the mark on the plate till they are gone. Yet despite the learning curve I enjoy learning the intaglio slow process because of Fred being a great mentor demonstrating for us as well watch over our shoulder if we are doing it correctly. <br />

<br />
Along with faculty professors we have senior critics. <b>Jenny Saville</b>, <b>Eric Fischl (</b>thanks for critique my work), <b>Vincent Desiderio</b>, <b>Will Cotton</b>, and <b>Steven Assae</b>l (thanks for instructing me in Drawing/Painting) critique student work on a regular basis as well give lectures and lead Master Classes.

During those times I learned so much about becoming an artist and becoming a better person. I feel a sense of closure looking at the celebration of laboring so hard to earn this official document that acknowledge my time here at Mason. My BFA thesis was well received by family and friends who all share in my joy of something I labor over for the past 3 months make it all worthwhile. Seeing my friends graduate and walk across that stage to get a fake diploma bring me smiles. Even as I walk across to receive that piece of paper I promise I won't cry. I didn't get emotion but took my time receiving that prized moment of shaking the Dean hand and hugging the Chair of my school. I realize I will miss Mason more than I thought, because the friends and community I had developed over the years will move on. I will finally move on. Both bring bittersweet feelings for me. Here to an end of a chapter and a new chapter awaits for me in NYC.

The place where we celebrated was at the tip of South Ferry at Wagner Park onlooking the New Jersey shore, Statue of Liberty, Governor Island and the Hudson River at Gigino near Battery Park. The night was relaxing and we enjoyed delicious cuisine. I got the mussels, salmon and chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Because of the beautiful sunset and scenery we took a lot of staff pictures including the art track. I had definitely made some friends with the staff here on project and will miss them dearly.

The art track staff and interns briefly had a meeting talking about tear down and any updates about the opening. Apparently a lot of the art mentors came today or yesterday opening. A lot of other people came as well friends of the students or staff. Anthony shared with us that one of Lauren H.'s friend who recently moved into the city came to the show. She spent a lot of time in our exhibit and when she walked into the "intimacy" house she spent a long time reading those private secret messages written on those tags and came out in tears. Apparently the exhibit had some impact on her and I see it as a sign from God as one success story that our exhibit had made some eternal impact. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Later today we had time to be tourist and I went to see the movie Inception with they guys and Emily. Afterwards I met up Caleb and Norah at the Metropolitan Museum and head back to NYCAMS to gather folks to go to South Ferry, which is an amazing sight to see at night. </span></div>Bdanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14981004701916044051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223212344358921196.post-40554225452333183002010-07-16T05:59:00.000-07:002010-07-16T07:26:40.851-07:00Thursday, July 15, 2010: The Opening!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifL4k4MO4dqPHMOctIP6mAglBM_LOvGKHRZ3wEamn6wy9LNTNekp_SUHyPOU4rJCq5ykU9j8oYLcLPfjoZBdtg_eeSXP0OWtGOcn1AFsN1WxipwHHjZdiDz7PRCMXFErJkCqTGjbLpB-ih/s1600/DSCN2764.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifL4k4MO4dqPHMOctIP6mAglBM_LOvGKHRZ3wEamn6wy9LNTNekp_SUHyPOU4rJCq5ykU9j8oYLcLPfjoZBdtg_eeSXP0OWtGOcn1AFsN1WxipwHHjZdiDz7PRCMXFErJkCqTGjbLpB-ih/s320/DSCN2764.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494509740749081666" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Tonight was the opening and al this anticipation on the Arts track builds into one night. We work so hard and put so much effort wrestling with our word that it felt strange and weird come opening night. The pace slowed down greatly and some of us didn't know what to do with the free time after we finish our cleaning chores. The space looks a bit empty at first sight but one of the worker at NYCAMS said it is "one of the best art show I seen from this project good use of space." The space was free flowing and viewers had time to walk from one group collaborative to another intersecting each piece. Congrats students we did it together. Thank God.</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5wVx-1zfvnk-niwRG7YYsINZwHkvzRoOmxgovPcTGivfzu9oyKqj_EQQq79gEK_nLczYgq59NSdOzXuGOnlZN8v9vpZk7-dQhyphenhyphenRLb_RToQvLwix1-NU5YI7rNc6SSs0JRJITSK7V-s3Ma/s1600/DSCN2746.JPG"><img style="display:block;

The warehouse was a furnace even with fans running so everyone was sweating and hot. The night we talked about the word "sacrifice" and what it means. A student from each of the 5 tracks gave a story from their lives how the significant of the word "sacrifice". Kristine from the Arts track came up talking about what an irony to think anything is a "sacrifice" because truthfully everything we own is God, so if God take something away how is it a sacrifice if it belongs to Him already? She talks about what a blessing being on this art project is yet knowing her family is going through grief of her dad hospitalized she wish she be with her family and fix their brokenness. But it is as if God ask her to surrender her family ideals to His' hands who lives in Indiana while she goes to school in Arizona and spending a fun time in New York.

The topic had a lot of questions with images of Jesus Christ depicted by different painters by Andrei Rublev (The Savior), Ford Madox Brown (Jesus Washing Peter's Feet), Michael Sittow (Madonna and Child), Paul Gauguin (The Yellow Christ), Francesco Boneri (Christ Driving Moneylenders out of the Temple) and Rembrandt van Rijn (Head of Christ). We asked several questions what words we use to describe the images as well as questions about how important it is to portray someone accurately. Our group was the four of us on project but other tables had those who are not on project like the Christian women who is a writer came back for the last session of Stripped. When my group was done Daniel group was still talking to the lady and I believe it was an indepth conversing conversation. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnl9NtZVuoJLrzWXtnw78ubbKaML-jWjsvBKNzHK0kvxNucsaMHNkShsQ3ilRnq548LS6IDh5c86akj8f9q1-F4NDcJ-Pw5w_wTIq7JUx87_bGFECSbzA3W85u_nUsVKa6hjzaPZrqIriE/s1600/DSCN2300.JPG"><img style="display:block;

There the return lady recognized us and as we leave check off our receipt. We exchange the lights for 18" fluorescent lights with plugs and attached the screws to our 3 light table afterwards we decide to break to work on our individual images as Sunny went to shoot her friend for her image of "betrayal".

He is visiting his family who lives in the city and sister who work in the city. We talked and listen to his life and how he want to learn Japanese and travel the world. He wish he can find a sense of peace with his life direction. He is uncertain of what he want to do with his life and feel unsure of what to believe in. His mother was raised catholic but his father does not believe in God. He considered himself an atheist when we asked him the question: "If you can pick one image to best describe who God is to you?" He instead pick an image that best described his atheist beliefs. He picked an image of nature because he felt he can experience a sense of peace through nature. I don't doubt that you can experience God through nature. I feel he was more of an agnostic because he picked images that described his yearning for something out there to direct him choosing a curvy road. Jonathan and I both shared what images we would've pick for the last question: "Pick one image that best described what you wish was true of your spiritual life." I picked the one of the city skyscrapers and a picture of a man holding a lantern. Reason I pick these images was I know God is this light that shines in my light revealing things in my life one step at a time and at uncertain moment in my life I can trust God won't lead me astray. </span></span></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Francis</span></b></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Next person we invited to our art show was Francis. Francis is an international student who attend University of Minnesota studying education. He is from China and attending American University for schooling for only four months now. Reason of his stay in New York was to work for his uncle who own a liqour store in New York. he was friendly with us and allow us to talk to him for an hour on his free day at Bryant Park. He didn't have anything to do till 6pm when he have class at Bryant Park. We went through soularium and he would consider himself an agnostic. He heard of Campus Crusade before at his campus and attend a few small group bible study. We weren't sure what he heard of Christianity but he is still skeptic about Christianity "fairy tale" stories and how accurately true the Bible is. I felt he was really struggling to understand Christianity and the concept of God because of his country atheist world view pressed upon him. We shared the gospel again to Francis and press upon him to not give up searching for God. Jonathan was brave and told the story of Nehemiah's struggle to believe God's speaking to him to dunk himself seven times in the river. The point Jonathan was trying to make with Francis was to not give up. Francis express his wishes if God exist to desire to hear him clearly as if a voice is whispering into his ear. He recognize this is what makes Christian so special to be able to communicate to God, yet for him he think it is not possible. We asked if he need any prayers and he said he's okay. We thank him for his time and ask if I can take a picture of him and I.<br /></span></span></b><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAGuNGeKX3kzLh064MRCLwAyZEKcGcJSGmqJWVmd5GHB5sEq_4cIifxtCXKxTGg5s_OBC6GLEzy5wEkQ_hLgy6q7igrhc9uIir1k3DoyfOzenv3jG7Iej_jJ8etty5gkragcj70sW81tDg/s1600/DSCN2149.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAGuNGeKX3kzLh064MRCLwAyZEKcGcJSGmqJWVmd5GHB5sEq_4cIifxtCXKxTGg5s_OBC6GLEzy5wEkQ_hLgy6q7igrhc9uIir1k3DoyfOzenv3jG7Iej_jJ8etty5gkragcj70sW81tDg/s320/DSCN2149.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491008461251631266" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Today we had training of retelling our testimony through soularium images. We practiced with our partners and listen on to each other story. I practiced with Caleb who story is of him growing up believing in God because of his parents but later realized he has to make the decision to continue following Jesus or not when he was 8. For some reason I got emotional when I retold my story of my broken childhood and family where on the outside appearance I had all the physical needs met but internally deprive emotionally and relationally. I didn't have an outlet as a child to express my needs and relational desires and often felt lonely. </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">My emotions got the best of me and when Adam spoke about his death of his friend at the 8th grade that was shocking for me. What ran hard to my heart was his empathy of her death uncertain of how he should feel about losing a friend whom he had her in everyone of his classes that year. He attend the funeral but mentioned he didn't cried or grieved. It wasn't until one day in college he met a girl exactly like his friend Emily was her name. He felt like it was a call from God telling him everything will be okay. He met this girl on Campus Crusade Spring Break: Big Break conference at Panama City and that was when I couldn't hold back my tears. I rushed to the rest room to get paper towel to dry my face. Later I was paired up with Jonathan for the first time and went to Bryant Park on a blistering 97 degree weather in New York City.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC6vRK5DV1zkcnUkNM8GEaB4wRHdcSAA6788kpfj4VyUXzc7uNyMjVUXEgkAFAHfcjap6Zfthhfj_35HxZQ560LMrX-WBiRPkK_rLvmcWDJu6ewKofqEyAHzeVT3913blalbNxYdq6eQ2K/s1600/DSCN2142.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC6vRK5DV1zkcnUkNM8GEaB4wRHdcSAA6788kpfj4VyUXzc7uNyMjVUXEgkAFAHfcjap6Zfthhfj_35HxZQ560LMrX-WBiRPkK_rLvmcWDJu6ewKofqEyAHzeVT3913blalbNxYdq6eQ2K/s320/DSCN2142.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491008452724693378" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTz-4_PLSvTsZI5BF9An_uidUzF7Yy8EoAfhjlmXJVf_-XKVMvGHw-jXTcr9QCaDVG2rPwb7ZXcs6LB7fyE8icKpFvplzBggBHmNLUtK1K3fJZCtWuExseBHejYlWz2kmhjy_Un1APmDUH/s1600/DSCN2141.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTz-4_PLSvTsZI5BF9An_uidUzF7Yy8EoAfhjlmXJVf_-XKVMvGHw-jXTcr9QCaDVG2rPwb7ZXcs6LB7fyE8icKpFvplzBggBHmNLUtK1K3fJZCtWuExseBHejYlWz2kmhjy_Un1APmDUH/s320/DSCN2141.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491008445622481522" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">Favorite Quote of the Day</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">"No wonder we didn't have just sushi, it cost $40 for a platter." <b>Adam</b></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">"How many art students it take to carry a door and shutters? 2.

I felt I was out of place at the Jewish temple the space is magnificent and in size with high ceilings and walls to hold the beautiful decorative ceiling. There were colored glass windows with illuminating light from the stage with menorahs and equally balanced symmetry. The aisle was carpet with red and the space feel estrange and quiet. We were not allowed to take photographs and the guard eye's watch our every move feeling like we cannot talk. I felt we were only allowed to observe and restricted in what we can do to participate or interact with a divine person in this space. I expect they view God is distant and indifference toward His people in this space and that to please God is to obey a certain decree. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The Cathedral was a completely different experience because it has similar icons from Christianity I'm used to. The guards are friendly and did not followed us around. The space was much larger and has more windows for light from the ceiling. It was a more popular site so there were many people who came and visit the site. We were allowed to take photographs and to participate with these religious icons and divine God. There was a gift shop which you can buy religious icons, as well pay for candle offering and participate in the Monday noon service. I felt more comfortable that others are either praying at the congregational benches or participating with the divine God so there is a sense of unity among those who go there not to visit but practice their Catholicism beliefs. They had stained glass as the Jewish temple. There were more saint icons than there were of Jesus which bothers me. </span></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> <p></p> <!--EndFragment--> </span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh998Ig-ss5PTyaf_18HFI_wiSTATJPwhiXwu3URdFr_0M1knRIfze_b-pvkWWiIgm35iUTaao9aP6hmvaAkkMJssc6nQ4DgKYmhmAp4XpmXRAwK0PzXZrhfDi5Wyd-DxWT96SPH2B9W_w/s1600/DSCN2080.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh998Ig-ss5PTyaf_18HFI_wiSTATJPwhiXwu3URdFr_0M1knRIfze_b-pvkWWiIgm35iUTaao9aP6hmvaAkkMJssc6nQ4DgKYmhmAp4XpmXRAwK0PzXZrhfDi5Wyd-DxWT96SPH2B9W_w/s320/DSCN2080.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490663544416866546" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">At St. Patrick's Cathedral people can pay $2 to light a candle as an offering for saints to pray for you. I am a skeptic about this and maybe they truly believe in this but I see it as superstitious and not beneficial. I rather have a direct relationship and pray to the Father, Jesus or the Holy Spirit because they are God. Saints maybe divine but not God. I don't feel like there need to be an advocate other than Jesus for us to have a direct relationship with God. </span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqTnZgArEqxl8dxI7wnI2gSQEJVM_iONvHMjo2kMB4uJszts_syJ3EQnsXjTWGjlTwV6UDym59PcAPpOcNEz5WdD9TwCgpnT705QkGbQN52dFOxt_U233aQ1wjpFCDgEGIMF9yU58TpqaV/s1600/DSCN2070.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqTnZgArEqxl8dxI7wnI2gSQEJVM_iONvHMjo2kMB4uJszts_syJ3EQnsXjTWGjlTwV6UDym59PcAPpOcNEz5WdD9TwCgpnT705QkGbQN52dFOxt_U233aQ1wjpFCDgEGIMF9yU58TpqaV/s320/DSCN2070.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490663541672821506" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6CClJ5jP67hx6P2fyyaCayrxuXdq1Ywclx8v_PL0LAy8cs_XswUak6jWxeNEJ9xDZXvlR-qsJNMuqpWxvheEyw7VljLhXRMIu_w-bdkbg9FCu_dXicsj2FOUAYUaka-7OH9QUJkX5a8Zj/s1600/DSCN2059.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6CClJ5jP67hx6P2fyyaCayrxuXdq1Ywclx8v_PL0LAy8cs_XswUak6jWxeNEJ9xDZXvlR-qsJNMuqpWxvheEyw7VljLhXRMIu_w-bdkbg9FCu_dXicsj2FOUAYUaka-7OH9QUJkX5a8Zj/s320/DSCN2059.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490663518709450850" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#999999;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">This image is of a preliminary process of my individual image for our group collaborative.

I teared up as we viewed a documentary about homeless population in the United States. I have a problem with the statics and lack of resolve of equal housing for all. Afterwards Sarah from the inner city track gave her testimony and told us a story of a little boy who was sexually abused and shuffle from one home to another. The little boy went from being homeless to juvenile and doing drugs until a man help him as a teenager in New York City by mentioning the love of God. The little boy is her father which touches home not to feel guilty or sorry for Sarah but to be motivate to reach the homeless that night. We were giving P&J sandwiches but more than food Sarah express their greatest need is God and a person to listen to their issues and stories to know someone cares. My group went out to 55th and 5 avenue to talk to homeless people sitting on the steps of St. Thomas Cathedral. I got to talk to two men one Milian and another Bryan. At first it was awkward and hard to get into conversation because I did not know what to say or ask this man. I start by asking Milian where he's from and try to get him to talk about his life. In the end I show him my art which he was captivated by and we talk about his upbringing. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Milian is an older married man who been homeless for 9 years since he loss his job.

Afterwards the art track gathered at NYCAMS for snack and games playing Taboo. We played till we were tired of it as everyone leisurely laid around and enjoy each other company. Later some of us went west toward the Hudson River to see the fireworks, but I didn't go hence no pictures of fireworks. I stayed inside at NYCAMS stress free from weaving through crowds to see some puff in the sky. I stayed with a group of nine other people as we decide to venture out for dinner. Everything was close so we decide to cook a potluck pasta and chicken marinara sauce with bread and fruit salad. We shopped at World Market on 7 avenue and 24th Street and cooked for a good hour and half before fully enjoying our meal. By the time we finish cooking the rest of the students came back from the firework show. We heard the noise of the firework being set off from NYCAMS. Apparently the show lasted for a good 15-20 minutes. We clean up and called it a day because tomorrow is a busy day of going to visit mosques and synagogues and our MNM (Monday Night Meeting) hosted by the inner city track which will includes us doing homeless outreach with brown bag dinner (peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with fruit, and beverage). </span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi90neynd6fyeN3yAja5PPlYoY8s93y8AxyDIITaaGyrHyvwhBl7yl3wY7N8oAlAnGp0bPTlQgaFjKY1UwF8a4AVufcZHOrjAcavS8plbbSJgIxYaNcuWh3Dyotn7WZHZ7ACQhzm1TRAOeg/s1600/DSCN2046.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi90neynd6fyeN3yAja5PPlYoY8s93y8AxyDIITaaGyrHyvwhBl7yl3wY7N8oAlAnGp0bPTlQgaFjKY1UwF8a4AVufcZHOrjAcavS8plbbSJgIxYaNcuWh3Dyotn7WZHZ7ACQhzm1TRAOeg/s320/DSCN2046.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490269499582860850" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">Happy Independence Day! Celebrating America's 234th birthday. Today I went with Caleb and Rebecca (Bridges Track) to Bethel Gospel Assembly again in Harlem at their 8am service. It was quite a trip waking up at to depart at 7am to make it on time to service. The pastor gave a sermon on Moses decision at the Red sea. Moses declare the Israelites independence from the Egyptians when he decide to lead his people across the Red sea God parted. Only because of Moses' faith did he trusted God would hold up the storm in his path did Moses cross. Moses could've doubted God's capabilities about the uncertain future to runaway from the Pharaohs. But like Moses' declaration of independence and America's independence , so must we choose to pursue after a life after God and runaway from sin. The worship was as usual amazing with powerful chords and vocals. I can't imagine singing 6 songs for worship practically non-stop without rest with such intensity and projection. I was singing along and start losing my voice and feeling my throat get scratchy. I really felt the sermon was appropriate to today's holiday as we recognized God is bigger than America's problems. We recognize a powerful God who saves and healed the brokenhearted with praise from the pastor of a congregation man who to medical worker is a miracle surviving several blackouts in his old age. </span></span></div></div>Bdanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14981004701916044051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223212344358921196.post-56568086114039761842010-07-03T20:29:00.001-07:002010-07-03T21:20:51.051-07:00Sunday, July 3, 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6hbAOonOFAGBRsvqqRh8ixI0xHP6e0rw5lH8uRAnghY5xkvhdgFh860ckLfiSnj-J-BuYlzGaxvVjGrzQ4EO9lYjJnP2dOtZJXw3l8OCMvPHOW85ZKk4gkgKsCGsW-3lWoLR5dyObDvfL/s1600/DSCN2034.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6hbAOonOFAGBRsvqqRh8ixI0xHP6e0rw5lH8uRAnghY5xkvhdgFh860ckLfiSnj-J-BuYlzGaxvVjGrzQ4EO9lYjJnP2dOtZJXw3l8OCMvPHOW85ZKk4gkgKsCGsW-3lWoLR5dyObDvfL/s320/DSCN2034.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489894073417957058" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFCC00;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We went to a place called Chili Thai which David suggested and it was great. The restaurant is a small space and you can't imagine people fitting inside this space when you walk in on 9th avenue on 50th Street. I got the crispy calamari with plum sauce and salmon soup to start. For my entree I got the spicy duck stir-fried with white rice which was good. We went from there to the Amish Market which has a lot of grocery food except I believe it was more fresh and organic. There I got cereal, ice cream, and string cheese. From there we went to the M & M store which I got the most expensive $17 bag of speciality M & M mixed colored candy.</span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0q6KCq3jvqiwvK5pmT5ajvq02fVVKZIQDcPZsG0vely6Dky2z159zrHIMW1P_lVr4a5eIZejYrOH12iTikPZ4dRssGMjbJkzvSXbFTJPrsehHXhrR5FDSRvn3dGCOgjVoy1Z1nVLNdygH/s1600/DSCN2029.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0q6KCq3jvqiwvK5pmT5ajvq02fVVKZIQDcPZsG0vely6Dky2z159zrHIMW1P_lVr4a5eIZejYrOH12iTikPZ4dRssGMjbJkzvSXbFTJPrsehHXhrR5FDSRvn3dGCOgjVoy1Z1nVLNdygH/s320/DSCN2029.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489894058150632866" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2UHTR4ySHeX90LZpeY0gMApSeOtVy6BPprnmfkFSn1tovoL6iLos1iIA8_ky2wKCDtdd6r-rkEs0o-4RZLvAeD_okPyMjTQxTAJWmo2ruIQLvadPVU3m4pzIb36IxOG90JuEtPedbYeIf/s1600/DSCN2013.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2UHTR4ySHeX90LZpeY0gMApSeOtVy6BPprnmfkFSn1tovoL6iLos1iIA8_ky2wKCDtdd6r-rkEs0o-4RZLvAeD_okPyMjTQxTAJWmo2ruIQLvadPVU3m4pzIb36IxOG90JuEtPedbYeIf/s320/DSCN2013.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489894050106860290" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEVJXUAoj0afvPUphkawxFtA0DfdywXuWfQWKPAOIb9rvrLJPJQzFyDsYcc8CK4Yqnxvzu705c2AnVOmKUs4FUv7hfZyH0Y2zwwsqU2pOLgozayr1HjIRyd48Ow0ICev0RjiNvBJOfTzZN/s1600/DSCN2000.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEVJXUAoj0afvPUphkawxFtA0DfdywXuWfQWKPAOIb9rvrLJPJQzFyDsYcc8CK4Yqnxvzu705c2AnVOmKUs4FUv7hfZyH0Y2zwwsqU2pOLgozayr1HjIRyd48Ow0ICev0RjiNvBJOfTzZN/s320/DSCN2000.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489894043106156258" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Daniel Baltzer is a friend of Eric Helvic who is Caleb and Jayson art mentor. Daniel Baltzer is a painter you can look at his artwork at www.dBaltzer.com. Daniel Baltzer is a painter as well base in Harlem where his studio is which we had a chance to see today. His work is all about connectivity and this globalization that is changing how we interact with each other. The series of paintings he tie in technology broadcasting and how we communicate to weave society, ideas, thoughts, humanity together through this one social network. It make me think the world is a lot smaller than we think although I don't know who's who is connected to who in this world. It is like God's kingdom building upon the idea that we like to see the kingdom of God grow within our movements and churches yet we don't know who's being add on just that we know we are doing our part piecing it all together. It remind me of a book by Jesse Rice who wrote <i>The Church of Facebook</i>. This book talks about the same kind of issue Daniel is talking about in his artwork the idea of inter-connectiveness. I'm glad to visit and see Daniel Baltzer space and how he work. He is a Christian artist who goes to Eric's church and Eric thought Jayson who benefit from hearing Daniel and his connection with people at Wallstreet Art Academy in New York where Jayson is considering to transfer to. </span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizD43EI2rSi7UJXOaVvLbacdZM7eelQY46FCPAwSYU6kKcTpjYRr1HUe4vk91LpXPxpnr9s13uUqDw1NFfZTZ5YNGrLS-fM5bLBw_MrHz5rVPjtvAUPAgshyHDoEWEsLe-JJSkd_VVpya6/s1600/DSCN1990.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizD43EI2rSi7UJXOaVvLbacdZM7eelQY46FCPAwSYU6kKcTpjYRr1HUe4vk91LpXPxpnr9s13uUqDw1NFfZTZ5YNGrLS-fM5bLBw_MrHz5rVPjtvAUPAgshyHDoEWEsLe-JJSkd_VVpya6/s320/DSCN1990.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489889693889497858" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYQ5geji1mZCnktspxKstVythTR13yjyECxtlQfA8hGyjlmlMeIRw9wLPdCXby6H9-JhhAjxlRUln9atpos8e8I9ClJ6x79SaAvT5ALpJgS5roiHJAcBEBaAhLtKrfPJr3zpXDLfGymz80/s1600/DSCN1988.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><br /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYQ5geji1mZCnktspxKstVythTR13yjyECxtlQfA8hGyjlmlMeIRw9wLPdCXby6H9-JhhAjxlRUln9atpos8e8I9ClJ6x79SaAvT5ALpJgS5roiHJAcBEBaAhLtKrfPJr3zpXDLfGymz80/s1600/DSCN1988.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;">On the way to Eric's place we saw this in the sky. At first Jayson thought it was funny the clouds look like this, until he say words are being spelled out in the sky by airplanes of Geico. At Eric's place he gave us some good feedback after hearing our art project pitch. Eric suggest Jayson and I take a look at Francis Bacon because of the claustrophobic closest like space are referencing and he suggest we follow Bacon's use of a light chain in his paintings into our space. </a></span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUrCy2HwcpcS_gfaMnJX5wImW-Ia-CXVn3G1Csxr2EmlxOHCuTHxrs-qz4Au27-IpKhp3ebyWdINLLtPWEjOK0aMb1evIOvMcIdb5wDfuWKWYKeoRHSWcK2PYDtJe8JaFK7OehIvn1Xj3b/s1600/DSCN1987.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUrCy2HwcpcS_gfaMnJX5wImW-Ia-CXVn3G1Csxr2EmlxOHCuTHxrs-qz4Au27-IpKhp3ebyWdINLLtPWEjOK0aMb1evIOvMcIdb5wDfuWKWYKeoRHSWcK2PYDtJe8JaFK7OehIvn1Xj3b/s320/DSCN1987.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489889685008624866" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Caleb group represent their final idea of an installation space where they will use invitation cards cut out into shape of leaves in a pile. The cards represent the many different invitations we are overwhelmingly invited to each day and the obsessiveness of other people wanting a part of our business. The cards will be personally hand written and from what I heard be made from cardboard stock for weight posted on chicken wire. Eric Helvic gave us some suggestion for Caleb's group to consider referencing Cuban artist at Harvard by the name of Felix Gonzalez-Torres who does similar installation of piles but his pile is of candy. Eric suggest the possibility of guest being able to take an invitation from the pile of invitation leaves. </span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD_8vq5kDmOFnxYHL9JgIO-qYDQm4hWGIO_SEn3RrC8NjTPnttL-ZD2uI0i80GOBy1S_K6Z1buPm_hY4Xxtzg5rh6SLl6kH9ObsCaQqP494_TnFEYhRwIJJDN8ZmDv0InUz6metPIQG6kO/s1600/DSCN1986.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD_8vq5kDmOFnxYHL9JgIO-qYDQm4hWGIO_SEn3RrC8NjTPnttL-ZD2uI0i80GOBy1S_K6Z1buPm_hY4Xxtzg5rh6SLl6kH9ObsCaQqP494_TnFEYhRwIJJDN8ZmDv0InUz6metPIQG6kO/s320/DSCN1986.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489889672429840978" /></a>Bdanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14981004701916044051noreply@blogger.com0
