change
verb
to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone
I've finally come to realize what my current work might have in common with my other, seemingly totally different bodies of work. It all revolves around something changing, around either moving into new ideas, or leaving something behind. Both the myspace photographic sculpture & the missed connections series were about these new ideas and how they're affection social norms. What I'm doing today looks back over the shoulder of our culture moreso than the others, & I am enjoying that shift in view point.
This is also the prefect opportunity to highlight a art action group. (I'v avoided this subject in light of barrage of Obama themed work; that's not the kind of change I'm talking about). www.artforchange.org It's a non-profit org that focuses on "increasing civic participation through art programs and performances that provide equal access to information; inspiring reflection, discussion, collaboration and action. By merging art and community, AfC provides a space to explore social issues and celebrate the richness of cultural diversity". Very good stuff.
