 inspiration wind blew thru my window, setting alight bed in flames and feathers of hygge galore ! ........................................awoke, singing  ‘F.i.r.e.i.n.c.a.i.r.o’ …..”

 

Each of these prints, a wind encapsulated, catching inspiration, spirits…

Asking does Creativity come from within, belong to the artist … or from a  spirit which inspires.

Are we not all but vessels to life, that passes through, in whirlwinds of choice …

F.ir.e.i.n.c.a.i.r.o text continues …

Who is the creator, the artist of the daemon, or the eye of the beholder, the experiences of the past with which we give shape to, interpret the Now ?

Take forth these prints as your own, where within each is encapsulated a wind of inspiration, the shape and order to come, yours …

In November 2009 Winds of Istanbul, the North Sea and the Hudson blew though my window, as a butterfly flapped it’s wings ın the East Village and I found myself in Istanbul again.

and  here I Subtract the artist :

Asking - ‘ Who is it that creates .. the inspiration, the order-er,or the perceiver ?’

note : like rorshach tests, these prints are ingredients blown and encapsulated of winds, each to u to interpret, accompanied simply by the smell of a wind and a melody.

Nb: daemons = spirits or guardian deities transferring knowledge of human things to gods and divine truths to humans.

See : Plato’s Symposium, as Diotema speaks of the Definition of Love :

   “What then is Love?” I asked; “Is he mortal?” “No.” “What then?” “Asin the former instance, he is neither mortal nor immortal, but ina mean between the two.” “What is he, Diotima?” “He is a great spirit(daimon), and like all spirits he is intermediate between the divineand the mortal.” “And what,” I said, “is his power?” “He interprets,”she replied, “between gods and men, conveying and taking across tothe gods the prayers and sacrifices of men, and to men the commandsand replies of the gods; he is the mediator who spans the chasm whichdivides them, Continue reading ‘Winds / Wings ………… An Exploration !’

Stage/Drop - ” Lets Keep it Going … ” as Kenny says

Conversations about getting rid of artist / audience dichotomy …. leading to a performance / dance with Himalayas’s last weekend at the Music Hall of Williamsburg.

 What a relief - Hearing of things - from someone else - of  dance and exhibition performances we initiated before - with filmsets and pseudo openings - shooting documentaries of how people danced, performance to get them to dance -u are the performer !

hearing a call to create participation / get rid of artist / audience dichotomy … from someone else, someone with the same vision, what a relief … to not feel alone

Participation

Last night, danced with Himalayas’s - Kenny Wollesens giant ensemble of horns and strings and beats at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, to create a bridge between the stage / the artists and the audience ..

Danced with Hitomi, in a costumes of strips and glamour and vagabond rasta of silks and satin. The idea behind the costumes to create something both costume and show yet daily life - something to bridge the audience with the artists.

As Kenny bravadoes the audience to participate. “don’t you want to be up here too, don’t you want to join ” and before the band takes down to the floor, for the spiel of one song, danced on stage before dropping down to the floor. Strings and Strips in arms and hands, amongtst the audience … initiating them to participate and teasing to make space with mock feathers of peacocks and wings ..

Easier to dance on stage, the confrontation with the many spirits of the audience once on the floor calls for more pantomime enhanced dance ..

looking straight in the eye and whishing of fabrics for air, diameters of space. confronting and participating …

It was good : ) The sun is shining - and on my way back to Tunel / STAMBOUL …

Brought back many memories of Bilsar, Celebration / Celeb-Ration,  in the summer of love 2006, and the shooting of “ Fiskiye Diaries - a documentary together with Kaan Karacehennem of ” how people danced in 2006″
