building blocks
smallest of the sticks
black and white vision
elemental development
simple in its complexity
…or is it complex in its simplicity?
better for people of smaller stature either way

ten days
they are finished and all dressed
ready to set off on their journeys
for the eight days to come, i will introduce each of our “walk with me” #NBO12 sticks
i am excited for the start of their adventure
the concept has lived in me for some time now
the intention of the project is to allow the night to shape a collaborative inter-active piece in celebration of connectedness, both within ourselves and with those among us. inviting others to actively collaborate taps into the energy of what is most beautiful in life, self-love, connection, self-expression, fun, creation, community
join the flickr group to follow the action starting during Nuit Blanche Ottawa september 22
the group is the canvas for the project. as photos of the journeys are uploaded and shared, the snaps will start to paint a, some, picture
watch the collage take shape
(she hopes! fingers crossed!)
i wonder where we will go?

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!
