</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">As always, much is cooking on the EN MASSE front, having just wrapped up two projects in the last couple of days. Go to<a href="http://blog.enmasse.info/?p=275"> this great place</a> for more deets and pretty pictures...good times had by all.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">On the personal front, many experiments brewing in the studio, both on the coffee table home-front (with special thanks to Mika and Sebastian for putting up with dad's laboratory of cut up character confetti...read big mess), and at the studio. I'll be sure to post some of those creations soon. A 200lb plaster sculpture found its way into the mix somehow as well.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br />

The show, entitled "Last Minute", will be mounted on July 7, 2010, with a vernissage on the next night.

The absence of late has been caused in part to my recent relocation to a cool, dim, productive little spot under a rock. Many tales to tell, but most of it related to the EN MASSE business. One might find a good time over at <a href="http://www.enmasse.info/">enmasse.info</a>.<br />
<br />
In the meantime...a few side projects I've been cookin up in the kitchen...mostly commissions. My View from the Under the rock...<br />

<br />
Some months ago, I was privately commissioned to do an interpretation of the battle on the Plains of Abraham...a very important, albeit brief moment in Canada's history...a struggle that put British interests on top (for better or worse).<br />
<br />
General Wolfe on the left, leading the British, lies dying on the battle field (where he drew his last breath), while General Montcalm mortally wounded on the right, soon follows his adversary. The battle rages in a cloud of anger, fear, gun-smoke, blood and dead bodies, as the early morning sun watches quietly through the rising column of cloud.<br />
<br />
Finally, Montcalm gazes at a nice place to enter.<br />
<br />
The shots aren't that great, taken in my studio, but they give the general impression.<br />

Pecha Kucha is a Japanese phrase that means ‘the sound of conversation’ or ‘chit chat’ and it’s a mix of show-and-tell, open-mike night and happy hour. It was originally conceived by architects in Japan who wanted an informal forum for creative people to meet, network, and share ideas without the danger of a designer run amuck with PowerPoint and microphone. So the format allows each presenter 20 images shown for just 20 seconds each, without control of ‘forward’ or ‘back, please,’ making for a concise, 6 minutes and 40 seconds of fame for each of 8-10 presenters. Since 2003, the concept has spread virally to over 135 cities around the world. <br />

The directors of this venture are approaching vacant commercial spaces, notably in areas needing a little love, as was the case with this particular window. With the will participation of the landowner, artists are commissioned to do a window installation in order to attract attention to the space, beautify the area, and make folks on the street happy. The works come down once the space is rented.<br /><br />This window was a beast for a couple of reasons...not only was the pane on the left broken and held tenuously together by strips of duct tape, but it had been covered in spray paint and wheat-paste posters in the year and half since it had been rented. Nadine and I scrubbed/scrapped the windows for some time, and when clean, glued sheets of plexiglass directly to the front and back of the broken window to prevent this thing from exploding on some innocent bystander. (we wonder why some spaces don't rent themselves?!)<br /><br />Hurdle number two was the painting itself. Who knew painting in a window would be so difficult? I'm not thrilled with the results, but overall, was very happy to have participated in the project, and received good response from folks walking by. And for future reference, I now know window painting is not for me.

Bodnarchuk, Jason Botkin, and James Kerr)<br /></div> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><br />Featuring the works of well over twenty emerging and established artists, “Poor Traits” is a playful group show in which each participant was asked to submit a portrait of whomever, or whatever they chose. The only criteria being anything from the shoulders up, and each on a 12x12” pre-prepared panel.<br /><br />Significantly, this project in its massive accumulation of images, focuses not on the individual visage (by giving each its ‘personal space’), but instead, like a mob of people hung in a salon-styled cluster of panels, these works challenge the viewer to confront the installation as a whole. Only with a little time and patience do the individual faces emerge to tell their tales, till the next character begs for attention. Thus the multifaceted story unfolds as one gets the picture of a of very talented pile of artists having fun. Perhaps somehow reminiscent of a crowd filled nightmare, we assure you, this show will undoubtedly be far, far away from a bad dream.

they are a lens, shaped and polished, through which I could view the world and my attempts to make sense of the hubris of the day to day, and in so doing, rise above entanglements authored by the double-bind of life and death. <br /><br />This ‘wide angle’ vision of life aids in transcending our ingrained social identities, thus allowing a pivotal testing of deeply entrenched social realities as well a fresh examination of our collective inherited ‘spiritual’ (or lack thereof) realities.<br /><br />The ‘disparate’ elements and materials of this show are in constant dance with each other; a play of repeated visual ‘cross-references’. A call-answer dialogue. This ‘game’, in both its creation and interpretation, nurtures the recalling and development of one’s personal narrative/myth through a weave of historically established (archetypal) symbols, and images bubbling up from a visual logic and design of my own interiors, allowing for a compelling study of puzzle-like layers of reality.<br /><br />“(TRANS) FORMATIONS” opens the door to my own expanded line of questions pertaining to the exploration of oneself as a ‘spiritual’ being. It is my hope that this work will inspire many more such inquiries, which in turn will invite and renew a greater sense of responsibility towards life in the broadest sense.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.blogarama.com/" title="blogarama - the blog directory">blogarama.com</a></div>jason botkinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14499352320468636601noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534936546658628985.post-49417503359986535922009-01-02T20:30:00.000-05:002009-01-02T20:41:43.824-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE_KB-FXecA0BASD1clJqmetG9aNG96BgR1Z29uLIB8RgXxpT0Zh2d9UV5BLW-1l_s0hM23xm7lMq4LPmEYYUFIh-5fj37dXo-RhKWR1MN7efy1PD8DDhzQALF5NbjvCPXxn0fqtlohFet/s1600-h/chain+and+cup.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;
