<span style="line-height: 150%;">Context for the Art-ifacts </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Sat., Sept. 15, 2012 <span style="color: #1f497d;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Patti asked me to offer some
context for the art and objects placed in the auditorium and the atrium area. So,
a little background about 3 things: the artifacts, the cubes, and the
phrenology heads. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b>The artifacts.</b> Early in 2008, Tom asked me about commissioning a
collage that would riff on his brain scan films, which he found to be very cool
and very interesting. Which I found to be creepy and overly scientific.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
We kept talking and more material
surfaced: in addition to the films showing lateral and vertical slices of his brain
on grids, we had dark spots in the brain, MRI beeps that sound like Steve Reich
or John Cage, the book <i>A Journey Round My
Skull</i> by a Hungarian writer describing his own brain surgery, holiday
seizures, books by Oliver Sachs, a horror movie poster, zipperhead scars, 16<sup>th</sup>
and 17th century wonder cabinets, the man with the face tattoo, Tom and Patti’s
collection of phrenology heads and brains in various media, and a lot more.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
It began to feel like this story
called for something bigger than a two-dimensional collage—something that spoke
to the brain function and illness, but also to family, community, and adaptability,
and that would illustrate an irreverent sense of humor and quirky aesthetic. So,
to our idea palette we added a shipment of plastic “fourth quality” medical teaching
skulls, then contacted a slew of artists and family members, and, stirred. In
the end, we created a sort of walk-in Wonder Cabinet of curiosities and named
it Cranial Vault—a multisensory, mixed-up media, intergenerational, very
alternative, multiple artist exhibit that we installed in the gallery upstairs
and later at a <a href="http://space710atkefa.blogspot.com/">café in Silver Spring. </a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
We’ve brought in some of these
items today as remembrances and reminders—a set of beautiful and odd souvenirs
to surprise and amaze you. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b>The cubes. </b>This is a brand-new piece that Tom envisioned and
described to me a few years ago. He asked his dad to have the open boxes
fabricated in rebar. And he left it to someone (well, me I guess) to figure out
how to procure and place glass globes inside. These are <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/35885525/set-of-three-blown-glass-oregon-coast?ref=correlated_featured">handblown glass fishingfloats made by an artist (Ana Willow Obermayr) in Portland</a>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

was a Victorian-era psuedoscience that involved measuring the skull and mapping
sections of the brain to correlate with specific character traits. Tom’s cancer
was in the left parietal lobe, which is strongly associated with disorders related
to language processing and speech. For our exhibit in 2008, Tom and Patti’s
friend Norman Kelly created a coloring book image and we made a zillion copies of it
for visitors to Cranial Vault to fill in. These pages were later bound into a
handmade book.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Norman has created a new Memorial
PhrenHead—there are copies in your programs and in the atrium area afterwards—and
we invite you to fill in these brains today with memories, thoughts, ideas and
leave them in the baskets.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
So, here I want to close with just one
of the many passages Tom and I marked together in Frigyes Karinthy’s book and then a
reflection. The passage is about the life-affirming connection between science
and art and it feels like a fit for our creative partnership:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<i>While
I am a great admirer of science, I claim the respect of its representatives for
what I must call my ‘artistic’ conception of life. Art is a complimentary
source of truth, for it enlists the help of the imagination to carry mankind
beyond a mere observation of facts. Real achievement is possible only when both
work in association.”</i> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgix3AUpUczMvlEYD1QXSOJ7Zx5Y3FN5JuJ2U9zh21BTBNNEg3VYubfmX4bmTc5UIfJT3ztS6WHOSHG-XfjDbBdPSmxzLXEb5BpW-Sq6umDFSRyxcabJH60lyvRFdLgWN0JLgqKD4qPQw/s1600/Brainjourney.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgix3AUpUczMvlEYD1QXSOJ7Zx5Y3FN5JuJ2U9zh21BTBNNEg3VYubfmX4bmTc5UIfJT3ztS6WHOSHG-XfjDbBdPSmxzLXEb5BpW-Sq6umDFSRyxcabJH60lyvRFdLgWN0JLgqKD4qPQw/s1600/Brainjourney.jpg" /></a>After the service, I invite you to
rediscover some of the “artifacts” and hope they might serve as conversation
and connection points. As I reflect on the items we’ve collected and made over
the years, I feel like they stand in for the weird and wonderful, cool and
terrible, surprises we each can discover in the journey around our own lives. Our
challenge is to greet them with an open <i>mind</i> and with flexibility, quiet
courage, humility, and a willingness to embrace changing circumstances and a
dynamic cycle of life’s new normals. Tom showed me that.</div>

I'd made it shortly before that show (at <a href="http://space710atkefa.blogspot.com/">Kefa Cafe</a>), and hadn't made a photograph. I asked him to do it and he kindly pulled it off his wall and photographed it on the floor. It was so nice to see this old friend. The painting, I mean. It was lovely to reconnect with the quiet, warm young gentleman who'd "just known" about that painting.Amy Kincaidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09305975349327811257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195742983572619839.post-74065536165398685942012-01-01T19:23:00.000-05:002012-01-01T19:27:11.037-05:00Clarksdale paintings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSN3EmKXDMXcsdx0cjyypSjlZnCPdQWL5fd25XgExnti8S8cXiLLkvQUZsdrKmCclBRilAiW9N1VktIADSmfkYHm2lBTc1wwqtJr_b1h8j2W0l6MT0Bxl2iELqjhQAyR1_4eQ_WgtwDA/s1600/Downtown+Clarksdale.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="147" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSN3EmKXDMXcsdx0cjyypSjlZnCPdQWL5fd25XgExnti8S8cXiLLkvQUZsdrKmCclBRilAiW9N1VktIADSmfkYHm2lBTc1wwqtJr_b1h8j2W0l6MT0Bxl2iELqjhQAyR1_4eQ_WgtwDA/s200/Downtown+Clarksdale.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW15EbG5B4Inuxc9rB3AoIEpdmm-GPOemgOKqtMAGtIcVKo9Zzqg-YV8TrFYz-3qMYjhQ6r2Oi7SJ4Vd01F_Wj70tt5Otdl24ca5849v0j30m8bRZymbFVTfBD_iPfljCsja0rRGYW5g/s1600/Cotton+Field.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW15EbG5B4Inuxc9rB3AoIEpdmm-GPOemgOKqtMAGtIcVKo9Zzqg-YV8TrFYz-3qMYjhQ6r2Oi7SJ4Vd01F_Wj70tt5Otdl24ca5849v0j30m8bRZymbFVTfBD_iPfljCsja0rRGYW5g/s200/Cotton+Field.jpg" width="200" /></a>Two paintings that resulted from reflecting on a <a href="http://changematters.com/708/mississippi-delta-trip-report/">summer work trip to the Mississippi Delta</a>.

It's called Clear Cold Creek (27 x 32" framed). I started by laying magazine and found papers in a roughed-out landscape, then painted with acrylic, and then layered on more papers and made marks with pen and marker.<br />

Lots of assets and possibilities exist in this community. And (I'm afraid), quite a bit of stuck assumptions and thinking. Hoping and looking forward to some new directions, fresh energy, and dynamic collaboration to come.<br /><br />Just some of the other movers and shakers there:<br /><a href="http://www.pbase.com/stephanejanin">Stephane Janin</a><br /><a href="http://artfile.wpadc.org/view_artist.php?aid=1412">Adam Griffiths</a><br /><a href="http://www.kittnerdesign.com/contact.html">Bobbi Kittner</a> and her <a href="http://www.bobbikittner.com">artwork</a><br /><a href="http://www.artforthepeople.org/ ">Alice Sims</a><br /><a href="http://web.me.com/nsalimbene/Nicole_Salimbene/Home/Home.html">Nicole Salimbene</a><br /><a href="http://www.bodywriting.org/">Anne Becker</a><br />Sara Daines, City of Takoma Park<br />and maybe, <a href="http://www.changematters.com">me</a>, too.Amy Kincaidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09305975349327811257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195742983572619839.post-49795347825316758222010-02-02T17:35:00.000-05:002010-02-02T17:43:50.717-05:002010 Schedule of Exhibits in Silver Spring, Maryland Coffee Cafe<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9ClLGF013_9DI4iF6rrUSDryLk8J9jyQYNwlGdrLb_g46z6ODzPmTzf71ZLGWAxXQxMDgmpO_ypRzL-F8sfQfvEwSkKtSKUXvwQhtFYss1tai1_bVZJUrhJZqkMnGtvGEiQ9Wo7SKdw/s1600-h/Kefa+Interior+John+Morris.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9ClLGF013_9DI4iF6rrUSDryLk8J9jyQYNwlGdrLb_g46z6ODzPmTzf71ZLGWAxXQxMDgmpO_ypRzL-F8sfQfvEwSkKtSKUXvwQhtFYss1tai1_bVZJUrhJZqkMnGtvGEiQ9Wo7SKdw/s320/Kefa+Interior+John+Morris.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433780444372768562" /></a><br /><a href="http://space710atkefa.blogspot.com">Space 7:10 at Kefa Cafe</a><br /><br />Photo by John MorrisAmy Kincaidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09305975349327811257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195742983572619839.post-68415326201338813772010-02-01T15:38:00.000-05:002010-02-02T17:45:19.934-05:00A Nod to Artists Whose Work Has Come to Live With MeRecently purchased, bartered, gifts, founds, or otherwise collecteds by:<br /><br /><a href="http://jennywalton.blogspot.com/2009/01/opportunity-plaza-artist-materials.html">Jenny Walton</a><br /><a href="http://www.jennyfreestone.com/main.htm">Jenny Freestone</a><br /><a href="http://www.sogh.org/sogh.org/SOGH.html">SOGH (Shawn Theron)</a><br />Elizabeth Parthum, papermaking associate at Pyramid Atlantic<br />Jefferson Pinder<br />Joanna Axtmann<br /><a href="http://www.bobbikittner.com/Artist.asp?ArtistID=16334&Akey=3G9X3J7Y">Bobbi Kittner</a><br />Tatiana Ginsberg, Lee Emma Running, Kate Carr<br /><br />And a print by artist and fellow grassroots fundraising consultant (!)

They also use what musicians or dj's might call mixing or sampling, because they involve combining, reorienting, layering, and altering unrelated snips of existing images. They layers of collage, paint, and drawing are built, bit by bit, over time. Some pieces start with painting or drawing. Others start with collaged papers. Rather than suggesting a specific narrative, I am trying to reflect the individual’s connection with universal themes of autonomy, community, culture, and place. What interests me are the layered richness, irregular edges, and internal textures of mood.Amy Kincaidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09305975349327811257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195742983572619839.post-43091190493757010092008-07-01T18:45:00.000-04:002008-08-30T15:41:45.106-04:00BioAmy Kincaid began showing artwork in 2003, exhibiting in several juried competitions and receiving awards in mixed media.
