the art show to remember, Julie Schenkelberg Bad Blood @ Asya Geisberg

The exhibition explores themes of
memory,  the past, the future, the fleeting present.
I see the earnest longing to bring visual art to it's pure state by Julie's use of classically artistic materials. I see that painting is reinvented yet again.

Looking at art as an art show at Winkleman Gallery #class Organized by Jennifer Dalton and William Powhida

Conceptual artists refuse to create material art but instead an idea. But the core is absurd association. Less meaning more mind numbing exercises to grasp the concept. What I find revolutionary in interactive conceptual art that it engages more then mind exercise. I personally have significant experience in interactive conceptual art since 1999 when people discovered new way of communication, and then it was email. I happened to have someone who could do for me mass emailing targeting diverse groups of people. Suddenly I was pulled into the endless interaction with people who loved the idea of receiving an email from a person they were supposed to know. Then over 10 years ago email Spam wasn't anything like it is now. Thinking that they know the author of an art essay that maybe it has some personal meaning to them titled "Marble Lady oil painting by Jaisini", "Blue reincarnation/Narcissus o.p by Jaisini, etc. It was the hook.

I started to get most interesting feedback. It turned to be most unusual and enjoyable however premise of this action could be considered ultra conceptual, since there was no visual image presented but the essay that itself reads as a riddle. From my own venture I discovered how much "real people" from all walks of life are interested in art. Especially if they can interact with the writer/artist personally. Next point is about desirability of art. When the image was not presented the recipient of the essay that described a painting become so engaged that desire to SEE the artwork would be much greater then in any other circumstances when the same person can go to a museum and look at beautiful art. What I really love about Whinklman show to be so enthusiastic about it -- its atmosphere. The set up of a classroom gives anyone pleasant de ja vu. Aspiration and high of youth as oceanic breeze gives those precious negative ions that fight depression, promise pleasure, arouse carnality, altogether create this rare feeling of life celebration. That is why when Mira Schor was reading her essay on artist's failure, it didn't make an impression by definition of a lecture to the tired audience. In the gallery set up it was an artistic performance, the woman, her face, manners, her voice, her life experience, her expectation of fame, writing the book, talking to the people who supposed to not become greatest artists in the world felt like gathering of avant-garde group that rehersed a new play. That’s how I saw it and enjoyed it immensely. Live theatre (nor art happening) that wasn't planned to be theatre nor art happening. But art show to break grounds for it's own set purpose, becoming much much more in the eyes of the other party. There are the makers, the participants who won't go further then the frame of the show, but to me with certain acquired knowledge I see the show in most fascinating light that continues my own philosophical quest to understand how art is percieved by people, collectors, dealers and the art makers. Gallery tour more related to the concept of art desirability, I wish it was documented or could become a documentary about an art show when people just "happened to go with the flow." Similarly as when they happened to read the emailed essay and find themselves in the premise of beautiful/creation/art. They weren't planning for it, it was spontaneous, without slight tension that could be there when you come into the gallery expected to purchase some artwork. Pleasure to be with art is contagious. It affects anyone who can witness the process when this process is in fact ART. Ellen Yustas K. Gottlieb

One would wonder what would the new level of “realism” add to the process of “seeing” An entirely different matter would be how the exact copy of reality could benefit a human image and what sort of image would be fit to be “worthy” of such exact real copy on paper or video. (obviously even 3-d copy which is not very essential to the question) In such copy with most advanced process who would look good. For instance over decoration… for such occasion one would think that since the “copy of reality” shows every microscopic detail, than the more decorative details there would be to record the better… So if the reality record Internet is now called WORK. People “working” and believe in it very strongly. since their work involves RESEARCH and digging in deep waters of “knowledge” wanting to acquire full and complete information on their research topic. The need for full and complete information is really overpowering that is why doing it feels like WORK. Those who had been there understand how bad it is. The Style researchers want to find the precious INTERNET worthy “art”. People get trapped on the internet without “a warning” that internet would serve you right if you use it for REAL WORK - it is priceless for the amount of info one gets for instance I found all matches on the current topic of INVISIBLE and invisibility. If it wasn’t for the internet I wouldn’t be writing this now as I wouldn’t know about the wide spread phenomena and popularity, but the “discovery” made me realize the connection of social phenomena to visual art that is important when nothing in visual art really connect to the vast unknown dimension of “real people” Again if it wasn’t for the sources available on the www where people supply and share info I wouldn’t be able to put together Invisible art of Paul Jaisini that arrived on the www in 1998 and the current state of human condition. Once something suits your taste you don’t feel any reservation about sharing it or just using as your “own” photo or idea. But the idea spreads and if you find ton of matches with variations of how your subject for instance Invisibility is in active use you can deliver really well-grounded analysis and know more than anyone on the topic.

There's a sense of certain degree of violence, distraction. Is this how Julie Schenkelberg sees the world or  is it pretentious?  If sincere, then why portrayed grotesque? Memory is flawless, dream-like. We are left      with no answers, no conclusions in a way frustrated. There's a suggestion of step forward, the world seen as interesting, inspiring, disturbing, grotesque or moving.

                                          

                                          I wouldn't see that this show presented memories from

                                          the far past. At first glance the signifiers

                                          seem mundane, from the daily life. Every composition

                                          left me wanting more information but, of course, 

                                          there's no information on why the artist creates in a

                                          chosen style or media.
