before us
while in montreal on saturday i stole this snap at the Tom Wesselmann retrospective at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
(i later learned that photos were allowed. ha!)
Tom Wesselmann Smoker No. 1, on show at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
the show is a good one
his early work spoke loudly to me
starting with collage then moving to the female nude
with nods to the greats
i feel a kindred spirit
his later steel-cut work is impressive, but i like the nudes
i found great, yet subtle, humour throughout
the documentation accompanying the art was also of great interest to me
i take to pop art one artist at a time
my gratitude to Mr. Wesselmann for his body of work and the inspiration it provided

it is day one of exploring, ” the emergence of the New York School and its links to a new global economy centered in New York City, Dada’s revival, Pop art’s flowering in mass consumer society, and Minimalism’s formal refinement and emphasis on spatial context.”
before i, ” then consider Conceptual art’s fundamental questioning of art, the development of multimedia artistic practices and performance art, and the influence of identity politics on art.”

collaborative project for the upcoming Nuit Blanche Ottawa 2012
artist Robert Brazeau’s tableaux
” enter the most decadent era of the 20th century – the 1920’s.
new york, paris, chicago
the dandies, the independently wealthy , the artists of their age
a decade of aesthetics, social debauchery, excess ”
” the style, the characters and the ambiance are to be re-created, not observed
experienced, not observed”
during NBO12, visual artist and photographer Robert Brazeau will, through his lens, capture a 21st century response to this magnificent era and environment
heARTbeatgal and illustrator/cartoonist/orator Otis P Gould III hope to add to the authenticity, as characters to be found in the speakeasy crowd
professional models and enthusiasts of the period Lola Lovestory, Derek Ruston and Marley Lewington will bring their interpretation of the style, glamour and attitude of the era
the experiment completes as Social’s customers and NBO12 participants are lured into the environment, encouraged to release their inhibitions, immerse themselves in the experience of the often excessive and artistic social culture of the 1920’s
hBg is making a call to the universe, and more specifically those with a fetish for the era, to come collaborate with us the evening of September 22, 2012 at Social restaurant
it’s gonna be fuuun!
