The grotesque is often used as a synonym for all that is dark, obscene, bizarre, and even gruesome. That is a rather lazy definition for an aesthetic that robs us momentarily of our ability to rationalize and categorize things. The truly grotesque moves us more into a sense of mystery — into the world of things that are now given life and essence. We encounter such movement in the 3-D work of visual artist Michael Rees.

Workers of the world Unite. It seems this is almost forgotten. Great to see a conference about it. Better yet visit the museum and get a tour from Brian Sandilands. http://www.labormuseum.net/

Save the Euine Fay Jones’s Thorncrown Chapel by Signing a Petition to Stop SWEPCO from Destroying the Surrounding Landscape!
SIGN THE PETITION HERE
This is a lovely piece of architecture in the northwest of Arkansas. I argue that maintaining and preserving art is a humanizing force. The midwest/south needs that.

Participating in The C of O
Press Release for the Cult of Orginality Show
I’m in a show that opens soon. Its an art exhibition about originality issues “The C of O Show” (cult of originality) opens at Ramapo College on March 27 in the Kresge Gallery on campus. There will be an opening reception on March 27 from 5 to 7 p.m. Artist and curators’ talks begin at 6 p.m. The exhibition continues through May 1.
“The C of O Show” has been co-curated by Director of the Art Galleries Sydney O. Jenkins and Hannah Craft Art Galleries Documentation Assistant. Included artists: Barbara Bloom, the artists’ collaborative HANIMAL, Joshua Knoblick, Liza Lou, Israel Lund, Yoko Ono, Michael Rees, Stephanie Syjuco, Kehinde Wiley, and Hennessy Youngman.Parrot Parrot
2013Rees was invited by the curators to work with pieces from the Ramapo’s Bukstein Collection in combination with his own sculptures, some of which evolved from back and forth digital collaborations with Chris Manzione. The fabricated objects are made through various means: drawn, modeled, extruded, voxilized, clayed: each working through different states of mediation. The result is developed in situ, in conversation with the curators and in relationship with other artists in a semiotic fabric. The objects are at play as they are considered in relationship to one other. The final work reflects an action where objects are repeated, parroted, and changed as they are considered. This work furthers Rees’s interest in a process which employs an iterative and generative technique, where objects are created through a network of relationships and can flip sculptural roles by adapting multiple positions and inferences.
