<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In December 2011, writer Josh Wagner
and director Rebecca Schaffer approached me about designing a set for
Josh's post-apocalyptic Christmas play, “Ringing Out.” At first,
I was reserved about joining the production. I was still clarifying
the lessons of the Venn Diagrams/Bee Play and I had a strong sense
that I needed to avoid the flaws of that creative experience in my
next project. When I met with Josh and Rebecca, I expressed three points in particular:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Firstly, that my work designing the set
cannot be isolated from other elements of the production—from the
creative choices made in acting, to costumes, to lighting, to
interpreting the larger thrust of the play. As a set designer I am
to be a collaborator; my ideas and energy multiply, my sense of
dedication is heightened, my natural ebbs of creativity diminish, and
the entire process is more rewarding, revealing when I can
participate in a dialog with others—with the director, the actors,
the writer, the stage manager, a dramaturge. Their vision informs
and modifies my own—gives it flexibility, and resilience, and
electricity. And I feel deeply rewarded when I see those things I am
able to contribute do the same for them.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Secondly, I want to work with people
who understand the set as a fecund and productive element of the
play, equal to the characters in it's power to convey, express,
compel. I am drawn to set design and theatre because it offers an
opportunity to intersect, connect, intertwine, and/or contrast a
visual installation with a narrative. And in the "Ringing Out" production in
particular I wanted convey the narrative richly through my design—through a constellation of details and visual gestures that
each contain micro-narratives (e.g., a book with a worn spine and
dog-eared pages, placed in an easily accessed place; a chair that has
been mended with several different sorts of materials, some brighter
and shinier than others; a battered, door-less refrigerator reused as
a bookshelf; countless jars of rusty nails placed along side
weathered cans of beans; etc). I wanted my set to speak, to reveal
and contradict the characters, to work.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">A few concept sketches for the set.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Lastly, designing a well crafted, well
thought out, set that has benefited from a dialog with the other
creators, that pays close attention to it's relationship with the
narrative, takes an enormous amount of time and effort. Physically,
I cannot be the only one constructing it. I need help. I will be
bubbling with ideas and won't have the time or the hands to implement
them. And that is extremely frustrating—perhaps the most
disappointing part of my Venn Diagrams/Bee Play experience.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Josh and Rebecca listened, reassured me
that they shared my goals, I joined on, and we were off.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
As I read Josh's play, I was struck by how it worked as a sort of inverted nativity play—turned upside, inside out, mangled, nailed back together from smoldering fragments of an apocalypse. Here are some notes I had on the story-line that informed the set design:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">In the original nativity story we all know, Mary is impregnated out of the blue
by God and is told her baby will be the savior of humanity. Shortly
after Mary & Joseph are forced by the Roman government to relocate
to the town in which Joseph was born (Galilee I think) for the census.
On the way there, they're seeking shelter for Jesus' looming birth. No
room at the inn though. So they give birth in an improvised shelter (a
barn) in Bethlehem. Shepherds are there for the birth and a month or
two later three wise Persian kings following a huge, unusual star in the
sky show up to pay tribute to this special baby. All the guests are
welcome; it's a story of gathering, happiness, togetherness, sharing.<br /><br />
In Josh's story, Mandolin (M-name again) is impregnated purposefully,
openly as parts of a plan of an elderly couple who has had fertility
problems (see also the story of Abraham, Sarah & Hagar), the man of which
may have had a perverse scheming to do so since they rescued this very
young child in the wreckage. God/Mary/Joseph trio ::
Kendra/Mandolin/Rick trio. Again, the child is seen as the savior of
their world, but rather than coming into the world to die and cleanse
people of their sins, this child is coming to live and procreate—to
restore humanity physically rather than spiritually. Mandolin insists
the child will be a boy (a knowledge only Mary had of Jesus too; and
like Mary, Mandolin has visions, not from the Angel Gabriel but from her
own imagination, of what she needs to do). Rather than traveling
somewhere at the behest of a larger society, this family is battened
down, preserving themselves, because society has ended. The census of
this apocalypse is 3. They are not seeking out other people for their
help and shelter; they are actively avoiding people, even refusing them
their own help and shelter. Again, there is a Persian pilgrim. This
time he is not a king wandering purposefully, but a orphan wandering
helplessly. No room in the bunker for him. There are no other
“pilgrims” or shepherds there; and if there were it would be not to
offer gifts and celebration, but to take the trio's supplies and
possibly kill them. In this Apocalypse Pageant all guest are unwelcome;
it's a story of a unwanted gathering that brings division, turmoil,
expulsion. The climax of the story is not the birth of the child, but
the birth of the parents, out of the bunker, back into the world. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></i></div>
<br />
In building the set, I tried to make various gestures to create connections to the nativity play (the chandelier as nativity star, shed as manger, sheepskin carpet as manger sheep, the halo of a gun-rack) but nothing too confining for Josh's work. The story and it's symbols resonates in a lot of other rich ways.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The set took twelve days to build, with the help of the indispensable Diego Fernando Burgos Gomez, our very talented stage manager. The show ran January 17th to 20th at Missoula's Crystal Theater, and then was happily extended for another five shows between the 22nd and 26th. Below are a few pictures and notes
about the set:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">An overall shot of the set. It is composed of two sections: (1) The living space of a bunker, which is on the lower stage. That living section is divided into a living room and kitchen. (2) The outside world above, which the actors climb to via a hatch, walk across a thin stage that serves as a path through the woods, and over to a raised platform where the shed sits.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">More detailed views of the living space of the bunker. We chose to raise the kitchen on a low platform to improve the lines of sight for the audience. As you can see, actors are often times inhabiting the "kitchen" and "dining room" simultaneously. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Closer shots of the outside world and the "shed" that is used to imprison one of the characters. I needed some way to blend the two sections of the set together smoothly in such a cramped performance space, so I used a material gradient (the hacked up plywood of the wall interior reaching up the branches) hoping to convey a sense that the worlds dissolve into one anoth<span style="font-size: x-small;">er. I love how the light from Mandolin's flashlight was caught in the branches.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Before we even began to build the set and the various pieces of furniture, I thought it was important that we inhabit the mind and narrative of the various characters. To construct a wall, a piece of furniture, a decorative or useful object, I had to wonder: which character built this? when was this in their story? what tools or materials might they have at that time? why did they think they need to make this? were they feeling bored, angry, frustrated, sad when they did it? was it more of an emergency fix, was it decorative?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We hobbled together the basic structure of the bunker, stocked it with some simple furniture, shelving, canned goods, survival equipment, as Rick would have done, as if it were years before the collapse of civilization, and we had new or lightly used, human materials at our disposal, things that were partially or fully constructed and could be bought, etc. Other sections and objects we built as if it had been later in their story, after the apocalypse, when human materials would be scarce and mostly salvaged from wreckage, detritus, abandoned structures, things they might have unexpected dug up or stumbled upon and saved. Objects, furniture, repairs to the bunker after the apocalypse, would have to be done ingeniously, unexpectedly—pieced together with a hodgepodge detritus, fragments or disassembled objects, with raw human-made materials like twine, rope, plastic, or tape which Rick would have stocked the bunker, with natural materials, such as branches, stones, grasses they could scrounge up in the surrounding forest. Creating the set was a mixture of archeology and story telling.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">A view of the ladder that the characters climb to the get to the outside world. Conceptually and symbolically, this was a very important piece for me. I wanted to ladder to convey a sense of the patriarchal character's neurotic obsessiveness, the haphazardness of their lives in the bunker after the world has "all gone to hell", as well as the sense that these characters have inhabited the space for many years. Symbolically it acts as a sort an axis mundi--their mangled, decaying umbilical chord to a mother earth that died in childbirth many years ago. Woah, did I really just say that? Yeah I did.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">At the top of the ladder we placed a locker door that actors could open as they exited to the "outside world." I fashioned it so that the door would make a grating sound as it opens (as two fragments of metal scrap against each other) and a chicken light would cast light down the ladder rungs, as if the eery orange light from the outside world was seeping into the bunker. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">These are details from the shed (which conceptually I connected with the manger of the nativity story--in fact I had hoped to design it with a low gable roof, as you can see in the design sketches above, but there wasn't enough room for both sides, so I made one side and hinted that the structure receded into the wall). I wanted to convey a sense that the structure was hobbled together haphazardly to hold their surprise visitor. I used an airplane tail section for the roof, since it references a plane crash that happened on top of the bunker when the characters first arrived. There is also an old fridge door to lock the prisoner in. And I weaved excessive amounts of chain link through the mattress to convey a sense of Rick's (domineering patriarchal character) frantic and hyperbolic character. And I nestled the shed underneath the limbs of a juniper tree, as if the forest were closing in on them, between the lines of the brush branches reaching up and the juniper jutting downward. Another last note: fortuitously, juniper has some very productive biblical symbolism for the play--as a symbol refuge, both for the prophet Elijah from the pursuit of Queen Jezebel's, and apocryphally for the Holy Family as they eluded Herod's soldiers. And then there is the Renaissance symbolism of juniper to represent chastity.<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniper_%28given_name%29">[1]</a></sup></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">The set was dressed with various props and objects that we identified with each of the three main characters of the bunker. The objects I associated with Rick, strictly practical, often collected from his trips through the woods, and frequently obsessively or haphazardly constructed or repaired. The sentimental or decorative objects I associated primarily with a young, childlike female character, Mandolin. Practical but also decorative objects I associated with Kendra, an older motherly figure.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Note: the jar the red sticks sit in was filled with cast off leaves and water. There jars sit just below the bare brush wall of the forest scene above. I was hoping to create a visual and metaphoric connection between these whimsical, almost morbid decorations that a character like Mandolin might create, and the bare brush branches of the polluted outside world, which the audience could see materializing just above this back wall. Second note: that gun-rack is made from a rusted out trampoline frame. I loved playing with the absurd juxtapositions of a material's original use and it's repurposing.</span><br />

Photos are below. The experience was enlightening, as I imagined, but differently so. I knew my efforts would be constrained by practical concerns<span class="st">—</span>time, money, & the space itself in particular<span class="st">—but I hadn't quite appreciated in advance how profoundly considerations of how the actor would be using the space, how lighting cues would work, directorial decisions about transitions between scenes, how the audience's lines of sight, would all come to circumscribe my creative decisions. Though I wanted the set to be lush and superfluous with detail (lots of patterns, inanimate objects that fill out the space but have no explicit purpose in the script) I found that flexibility, clarity, and concision in this set design were greater virtues.</span><br />

<span class="st">The first couple weeks I spent amassing as many relevant objects as I could</span><span class="st">—</span><span class="st">objects that would convey a sense of the various sections of the set (a bedroom, kitchen, etc) while they both matched the color pallet and contained some practical or symbolic meaning for the play (for example, showing a floral pattern to connect to the themes of fecundity, pollination, and [if I could have had my way, I would have filled the entire space with as many flowers as I could--covering every set piece, strewn over the floors, sewn into every material, raining down from the ceiling--fecundity to the point of absurdity, almost choking the characters though they seem not even to notice. Alas, that would have been too expensive, not to mention hazardous for the actors...], or perhaps geometric or fractal patterns that convey the simultaneous chaos and order within probability and particle physics [another theme of the play]). And I spent a lot of time brainstorming about how the set might change through the course of the play</span><span class="st">—</span><span class="st">certain props linked & switching colors (like an electron and positron are linked and can switch spins simultaneously) to reflect the mindset of a character, pieces removed or added to as the momentum of the play changes, ...</span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">Then I stopped all that. I spent the second couple of weeks paring down the space, removing objects, nixing ideas so that the set would be less crowded for the cast (who would have only two or three rehearsals to work with it before the first show)</span><span class="st">, less cluttered for the audience's lines of sight, less difficult to store or assemble. Less. It was a somewhat frustrating process, since</span><span class="st"> my instincts were to keep building, assembling, adding, while the needs of the directors and actors were quite different</span><span class="st">. I began to try to find solutions, trying to influence decisions on lighting and costumes to compliment visual themes if the set had to be minimized.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">Things didn't always work out, and when I look at the pictures below it still feel uncomfortable with how empty the set seems. But I also know how much time it took to complete each task as the lone designer, gofer, and constructor (to find the right color/patterned table cloth, bed sheets, or pillow, to find, engineer, paint a free standing doorway as minimally as possible, to gather or build essential and non-essential props, including a top-bar bee box and a 3-D vector model [neither pictured here], to figure out rugs [</span><span class="st">don't even get me started about rugs...], and then to bring it all together see what works with the actors and what does not, find replacements, rework, redesign, repeat..) and I know it was some sort of accomplishment for just part-time over four weeks.</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span><br />
<span class="st">In the end, I would have loved to have more time</span><span class="st">—</span><span class="st">not simply to gather or create more loaded, concise set pieces</span><span class="st">—</span><span class="st">but also to absorb, recognize and react to the challenges of my task a little more slowly. But I shouldn't even seem to complain. It was a good first opportunity for me and I'm grateful Kate offered it to me. Now, I'll see what I can get into next.</span><br />

In August, I participated in the annual Burning Man art festival in the northern Nevada desert. The theme for 2011 was "Rites of Passage" and in honor of my 92 year-old grandmother, an important person in my life for whom I think that phrase is most poignant (she has been living with dementia, and now Alzheimer's, for the past three years), I built a bike (thanks <a href="http://www.strans.org/freecycles.html">Free Cycles</a> in Missoula for all the help!) and designed my various garb for the week. Rather than reflect the more frustrating and heart-wrench moments of her personal passage in my designs, I chose to accentuate those glints of joy, silliness, abandon, caprice and freedom that now peek through her once more staid personality.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Below are a few photos of the finished bicycle. The gaudy floral patterns that cover the wheel spokes, seat, handles, etc, are made from cotton patterns I picked up at the thrift store that supports our local senior center. I have to say, after spending several hours hunting for designs that would make my eyes bleed with happiness, old ladies know where it's at.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

In the end, even whimsy is no match for the desert sand. Within a few hours dust and grit had penetrated every joint, clogged the drivetrain, stymied the breaks, and loosened a crank arm enough that it fell off and wouldn't properly tighten again. I was able to super glue that crank arm back to the bottom bracket, but the epoxy that had held up my flag and the hood ornament had completely dissolved within four days.</div>

An opportunity recently appeared when a new friend in Missoula, playwright Kate Morris (no relation), mentioned she was looking for a set designer for her newest play. Since her production is soon, the run is relatively short (Sept 30, Oct 1, 7, & 8 at the <a href="http://www.ddcmontana.com/">Downtown Dance Collective</a>), the budget is limited, and the space is shared with other groups, the set will need to be simple, small, and concise. Imagination and ingenuity will be at a premium. To me it's seems like a perfect introduction to the craft. Below is my concept proposal for the design. More posts will come as things develop and are, inevitably, reworked.<br />

She was—and continues to be—in my thoughts daily, and at the time I wanted to find at least some small way to reach out to her from far away, draw her close, and share moments from my life. Many of the images were created from the profound sense of displacement I was feeling, experiencing and expecting as I moved from Chicago, where I had lived for two and half years, to a place I had never visited and knew no one. The project lasted about 24 days. Here they are in chronological order:<br />

Where are our Moderates now? Personally, I think a Missing Middle is to our country's tremendous detriment<span style="font-size: 125%; font-weight: bold;"><span class="Unicode">‒</span></span>especially when the challenges we face are so large and multifaceted. We need the all wisdom of all our wisest and moderates help us to parse that out. Below is my design protest for compromise, moderation, and middle ground:<br />

It's called <i>The Portal from HERE to THERE</i>, an architectural, spiritual and communal art project headed by my close friend, Amber Nelson. <i>The Portal</i> is a beautiful expression of <a href="http://vivafito.blogspot.com/">Amber's love for Fito, her resilience in the face of senseless violence and tragedy</a>, and her innate passion for life & ineluctable need to make it meaningful. And it's going to Burning Man 2011, we hope. Keep your fingers crossed that its construction gets grant funding from the Burning Man organization. To find out more about it, volunteer, or or contribute funding, click the image link below and get in contact with Amber. (UPDATE: Portal postponed, perhaps BM 2012, perhaps elsewhere)<br />

I'm posting it, first off, to give you an idea of how I'm thinking of hanging your work and how many, second to give you idea of how much space the venue really has, third to have something to work with when I discuss logistics with many of you over the next couple days.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are two types of images for each one. The first small flat, graphic version is as close to scale as I practically can get. The pink lady is about 5ft 7 inches, for reference. Those images you an idea of how much or little space we have if we want to add more works. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The second photographic version gives to a better sense of what it will look like installed and what obstacles on the walls we have to work around. These images aren't really scale and are distorted a bit. Even so, they work pretty well for their purpose.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

If possible, the projectors will be placed behind the screens near the glass of the storefront. But if that doesn't work, then we can place them on shelves we've mounted on the back wall.</span></span><br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">And here's a quick DIY video from Zack, the friendly YouTube man, on how to make a screen cheaply. I'm betting the farm it's easier, faster, and cheaper than it looks. Plus, I figure it'll make me lose ten pounds without asking me to sacrifice any of the foods I love.</span><br />

I ain't goin be sayin nothin, (I goin do) tryin just, makin the<i> changes</i>, I ain't goin be, tellin no <i>story </i>. . . Like . . . tellin them <i>black</i> stories." Amidst the confounded mumbles of assent from his bandmates, one colleague rejoins, "Shoot. Really, you make the changes, <i>that</i>'ll tell 'em a story." Surprised by this idea, Coltrane responds, "You think the changes're the story!" Overlapping him a second bandmate riffs, "(Right)... that'll change <i>all </i>the stories (up)." His voice cracking with laughter, Coltrane admits, "I don't want to tell no lies (on 'em)." After a group laugh, the second colleague trails off in a sort of denouement, "(The) changes <i>themselves</i> is <i>some</i> kind of story (man I'm tellin you)."</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">So, look at the pictures like it's a movie. I know they sort of look like one-off National Geographic photos, so you're gonna have to get beyond that. There's more there than it looks like. There's a perspective in them. Of a character you never see, but that you see through. There are story fragments and symbols. Those things are loaded. Packed with history and its contradictions. They contain the themes. The notes are helpful with that. There are flashbacks and flashforwards. They have a rhythm and explosions. Like an improved jazz solo. It could all be a memory. It could be a dream. Each photo is purposefully connected to the next. And a lot of what the images contain is <i>in between </i>the frames. So it's not exactly like a movie. You're gonna have to put some work into it. But I think it's worth it.</div><br />

</span> </div><br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;">In January 2010, I was invited to photograph the Panama Jazz Festival for the Danilo Perez Foundation. The experience was disorienting. There were practical reasons for this (e.g. a Panamanian dialect that was particularly difficult for me to parse, my unfamiliarity with the city which made even simple daily tasks such as grocery shopping an adventure, or even the necessary haggling with taxi drivers who try to charge foreigners double-rate), and then there were more intangible ones.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;">Panama presented me with myriad identities. The identity of the Foundation was foremost, since figuring out that identity was necessary to completing the job I had in Panama. But beyond that there were many more. There were the diverse individuals that came across during the festival—students, artists, volunteers, and staff drawn from the great variation within Panama and internationally. Then there was the larger identity of Panama—its history, its present, and its hopes for the future—which was loaded in so many of the objects around me: in artifacts; in its malls and condos; in the names of its streets and in billboards; in old photographs in a diner. And that historical identity was constantly being re-claimed and re-imagined by the Foundation, by other cultural groups, by the government, by businesses, by each Panamanian I met, and by those I saw from afar. Panama itself was in some sense a mola <a href="http://www.guatravellers.com/mola_room_2.htm">[0.1]</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mola_%28art_form%29">[0.2]</a>—a layered patchwork of contrasting dark and bright, threaded together by all of those people. And of course, there was my identity. An American in Panama. For two weeks, I was continually confronted by it, but I found that it shifted in my interactions with different Panamanians. It wasn't nearly as solid as the old American barracks in Balboa or the bridge they built to span the Panama Canal. Each day, with each image, I encountered these identities and though it was easy enough to take them at face value, I thought it was important that I challenge and negotiate those appearances. I quickly found out how fluid, intertwined and often elusive these identities could be. It was hard to gain my footing at first, and sometimes it was a bit dizzying. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I was a stranger to the Foundation prior to the Festival, so my first task was clearly to discover what the Foundation is and figure out how to convey that photographically. I didn't need to address questions of who comprises the organization, or what its goals are; those details are well listed on their website. My basic job, rather, was to capture visually how those aspirations are enacted. In a more complex way, however, I had hoped to convey some of the reasons for, and the sources of, those aspirations. What do they have to do with Panama—its politics, its culture, and its economy? What about them is specific to its history and what is specific to 2010? For several months prior to the festival I researched the Foundation and Panama as much as I could to prepare my analytic eye to aid my literal one.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Once in Panama, I quickly found that the task of capturing the Foundation's relationship to Panama to be very complex and more than I could practically manage alone, as an outsider, in just two weeks. The Foundation's staff was understandably very busy carrying out the innumerable operations of the Festival, so I scaled back those ambitions and made photographs for the Foundation that were more straight-forward and functional—images that might serve well on a website, brochure, or PowerPoint presentation—images that would be eye catching, informative, and that would reflect the atmosphere and devotion of the staff, artists, and volunteers. You can find the results of that on these Flickr pages </span><span style="font-size: small;">(<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fundaciondaniloperez/sets/72157623584388082/show/">the children's program</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fundaciondaniloperez/sets/72157623584469966/show/">the clinics</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fundaciondaniloperez/sets/72157623459961489/show/">the concerts</a>).</span><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://flotsam-jetsam-ligan.blogspot.com/2010/03/panama.html#note19">[19]</a></span></div><br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;">While I was in Panama, I wanted to make photographs for myself as well, and I had ample opportunity to do so. For those images, my research could come into play and I could begin to figure out how to deal with innumerable identities I faced.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">While negotiating those identities, I was immediately wary of the limits to my access. In Casco Viejo, the neighborhood where I first stayed, the environment was particularly tense. This neighborhood surrounding the Foundation is drastically divided between the poverty-stricken and the affluence-stricken. During the day, the narrow streets stream with taxis and tourists that clearly attempt to disregard and avoid the impoverishment there. Police mill around on every other corner to serve as the guards for the tourists and the wealthy residents. Panamanian construction workers rip out rotting floors boards and put up new facades on buildings in which they'd never lived or worked, in a neighborhood most likely far, far from their own, on the other side of the city. Within all of this there was a tension and atmosphere of suspicion that I could tell had existed for a long time. As an American on my own, it was not practical to strike up an interaction with the residents and there weren't avenues for me to do so through a community or public event. Even on the day of the large, free public concert in Casco Viejo many of the impoverished locals kept to themselves. Rather than join the crowds of tourists and well-to-do Panamanians in La Plaza de la Cathedral, they held their own little festivals, just outside the doors of their apartments, in the streets that had been emptied of cars by police. So delving past the startling visual superficialities of their disparate situations was not practical. Without some new line of sight for my camera, some back alleyway into a friendship or a closer interaction, photographing Casco Viejo seemed inevitably exploitative. The i</span><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; font-size: small;">mages I framed through my viewfinder seemed to either take advantage of, exoticize, or glamorize the poverty or affluence—and the dramatic collision between the two. </span><span style="font-size: small;">In the end, I did find ways to interact with and photograph some of the locals—the children who were a part of the Foundation's Infantil program. You can see in the photos on Flickr that they were irrepressibly happy children despite their hardships and the fact that, at least some of them were orphans, or so I was told. In any case, I know many had no adults watching over them and they didn't have enough to eat.</span></div><br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;">Although you won't see many other photographs of Casco Viejo or it's people in my pictures, this neighborhood set the tone for how I decided to photograph the rest of what I encountered in Panama. I decided to stay away from drawing conclusions about things or constructing anything that might be construed as an attempt at impartial description. Instead, I wanted to convey what it felt like to navigate that undulating sea of identities. I wanted it to reflect my feeling that I was at best watching, as through a porthole, waves flow one into another and into my little boat. Trying to divide up the waves or divine the overall current seemed silly. I should just describe how it felt—how it rocked, how it pitched, how it yawed.</span></div><br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;">In its final form in the montage above, I arranged the images linearly into an imagined or psychological narrative—not a literal chronology. One image purposefully precedes another, joined to the next by some gesture, person, place, object, visual perspective, symbol, theme, idea, etc. The narrative contains fragments from smaller stories pasted together to reveal what they can about each other. For me, this structure roughly reflects how I move through memory and dreaming, as well as critical thinking (i.e. through associations and apparent connections, with occasional ruptures, jumps, or flashes of insight). I have tried to establish things in the story not typical to photographic narrative such as rhythm and pacing. And of course, I've tried to use devices common to all types of narrative including metaphor, symbolism, juxtaposition etc. I think I'll leave my explanations at that, for the viewer's sake. If you have any questions or thoughts on the structure, feel free to contact me. But beware, I have too much to say about it.</span></div><br />

A lavishly renovated building there, a new home for the elite or a hotel for tourists often abuts a decaying apartment still inhabited by the long-time, poverty stricken residents. This is where the Foundation is based and where the last and largest public concert of the Jazz Festival was held. The area in focus in this photograph includes the neighoborhoods of Chorrillo, Santa Ana, and Caladonia—a vast swath of slums that completely encloses Casco Viejo. Crime and violence is high there, and I was frequently warned (by colleagues, local police, travel books, the US embassy, websites) to stay out unless passing through by cab. A Foundation leader informed me that a volunteer had been robbed in Santa Ana at gunpoint in the first week I was there. My hotel manager told me that criminals from these areas find their way into Casco Viejo at night, so I should try not to leave the building after dark. A taxi driver pointed to a brothel on the outskirts of Casco Viejo where, he told me, I could find many beautiful whores.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">On one hand, the vulture has a sullied reputation in western symbolism, clearly the result of its diet of choice as well as its ruddy, bald and wrinkled head, it's sharply hooked beak and long talons. </span><span style="font-size: small;">On the other hand, any ornithologist will tell you that the bird is an indispensable part of the ecosystem. Along with bacteria and fungi, vultures help to break down the dead and decaying matter, keeping the important carbon and nitrogen cycles flowing, and insuring the health of the ecosystem.<br />

The reasons for the riots are complex, and you can read a little about it here <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs%27_Day_%28Panama%29">[0.7]</a>. Roughly, however, the riots were spurred from the tensions the between Americans and Panamanians over the right to control the Canal Zone. An important part of asserting that right, for each side, was the symbolism of flying their respective country's flag. When, in 1964, American students hoisted the American flag outside of the American Balboa High School in the Canal Zone</span><span style="font-size: small;">—</span><span style="font-size: small;">with the express intention of flying their flag alone</span><span style="font-size: small;">—</span><span style="font-size: small;">it set off a protest by Panamanian Students who demanded that the Panamanian flag be flown along side it. In the altercation </span><span style="font-size: small;">that followed </span><span style="font-size: small;">between students, as well as American Canal Zone police, the Panamanian flag those students had brought was torn. The crowds became angry and the Zone Police responded with tear gas and eventually gunshots.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">For the 21 people who died in the ensuing fight, and to remember the Panamanian struggle for autonomy, January 9th is a national holiday in Panama known as Martyrs' Day. The memorial pictured here is located at the site where those riots began</span><span style="font-size: small;">—</span><span style="font-size: small;">the old Balboa High School. This building is now an administrative building for the Panamanian Canal Authority and it is where all the Foundation's clinics were held for Panamanian students during the second week, and where many of the Jazz Festival performances took place. All the photos in this project that show classrooms, auditoriums, as well as the concrete steps and stairwells that look typical of many American high schools, are part of that old high school complex.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">To me, no one ever acknowledge or discussed the significance of this site. Students flowed in and out and interacted with other Panamanian students and Americans like me with such levity that it wasn't until the second or third day of classes</span><span style="font-size: small;">—</span><span style="font-size: small;">four days after Martyr's day had gone by without anyone making note of it to me</span><span style="font-size: small;">—that, as I was sitting down to gather myself on the steps in front of the eternal flame, it struck me where we were. The riot was quietly all around us. Panamanian flags were strapped to each pillar below a martyr's name, they dotted the rest of the Canal Zone and climbed up the hill to top of Cerro Anc<span class="text" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">ó</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">n, where the largest flag of them all wavered over Panama City.</span></span><br />

The hill remains largely undeveloped because it was under the control of the US Canal Zone Authority until the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977, when it was hand over to the Panamanian government. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancon_Hill">[0.8]</a> Control of the hill is now under dispute between private Panamanian citizens, who would like to keep it a public park, and telecommunications companies that want to further develop it. While, I was there I saw many signs propped up in windows and poked into lawns decrying private development of the hill.<br />
<br />
The park overlooks Casco Viejo, to the south, and the slums surrounding it. And to the north, lies Balboa. These were the two primary sites of the Jazz Festival.<br />

They reflect not a strict chronology, but instead the mood of the event and the structure of some of music I heard. For instance, if it's not clear, the photographs of the clinics are arranged with a distinct rhythm—which in music might be denoted as 4/4 time, beginning on 2. The structure of the concert photos is intended to be more free, something like what I heard in a solo riff from one of the saxophonists pictured there. </span></div>Daniel Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12410788270926090710noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587680674432903875.post-78439078438175707842010-03-18T15:29:00.099-06:002010-07-02T21:27:57.181-06:00Make an image a day : the first 30 days : self-portrait<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">This eclectic group is what results when I resolve to make an image a day—no excuses. I'm usually bad with these sorts of resolutions. And I think it's primarily because I'm typically resolving myself to them as I'm a building fortress out of my blankets, watching an inspiring movie about Nelson Mandela, or downing my third highball of bourbon–and not when I have a headache, a frighteningly high ratio of friend-to-work emails in my inbox, and a stack of utility bills on my desk. But I had two concrete goals that kept me focused. One is that I am trying to work to myself back, after a long period of relative estrangement, to more intimate terms with my camera. Second, I figured it was an opportunity a day to focus minutely on color.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Because I started in black & white photography, my vision, in some essential way, has always been black & white. In post-production, I've focused mostly on the b&w qualities of brightness, contrast, and the smoothness of tonal variations—usually considering color only in so far as it somehow looks "realistic" or believable. Believability has been a good parameter mostly because when I've played with color, it's been, I'll admit, a little clumsy: How 'bouts we make this blue. Oh, look it's so sad! This must be part of my blue period! So, this project as been to shake things up and train my eye not only for seeing color for where it is, but also and where it can be. I've been looking a lot at photographs from the 1970s and earlier, when popular color photography was not yet perfected to look “realistic” or be archival, so shadows and highlights contain obvious color shifts depending on the film. Also, by looking at these sorts of “imperfect” images, I'm hoping to pick the lock that confines me to classical b&w ideas of proper brightness, contrast, tonal variations—so scientifically laid out in the technical books by Ansel Adams that I read voraciously in my teens.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">That's about the extent of what I'm doing. I chose self-portraiture because I wanted to do some portraiture, and it's easiest; I'm always at hand—damn the weather or other commitments! But I can be a cranky model and I'm not always up to the director's idea. Especially sometime around 3AM, when I've been working for 12 hours on a rush job and I'm not sure if my eyes are bleeding or if that's spaghetti sauce from a hastened dinner on my face. So, some pictures are better than others, a few are similar, and there's no overarching vision. Just a resolution, thirty days, and thirty responses.</span></div><br />

Though I'm not satisfied with them, I need to post them since the purpose of this blog is, in part, for me to throw out ideas so I can work out them or abandon them—to hear what I can say about them, feel it through and agree or disagree with myself. The other part is that this blog is here to hold myself accountable to projects I've started—since I have a tendency to let them putter out. So, here is a selection:<br />

My impressions: I've been calling them “portraits,” but they're not. For me, someone who knows each sitter, they are not about these people; they don't reveal anything particular about them—their personalities, histories, circumstances, or my interpretation of any of those things. They could be anyone. Instead, they strike me as images about themes, such as flesh, mortality, & degradation, in large part because they remind me of death masks, contorted out of form. Perhaps they're reflected on a shimmering surface of water.<br />

In each of these images there seems to be a particular feature of interest—an exaggerated cheek or ear, expressive hands or lips—through which I enter the image and begin to interpret it. What is this? Who is this? What is she or he doing? How are things so skewed? What is the point of view? How deep or shallow is it? This control in the image I like a great deal.<br />
<br />

One thing I'm uncomfortable with right now, is how moody many (though not all) of the images are. Right now, themes of flesh, mortality and degradation are compelling and interesting to me, but when they are rendered through simple and commonly associated moods or emotions such as pain, loss, melancholy, or fear they tend to become trite. Some would say juvenile. In either case, without any sort of complication of them, images like this are uninteresting to me.<br />

So, I am now wondering if these images need to contain narratives, something like the image above. Perhaps a story and some bit of animation that will provide them with a sense of life that can counterbalance the strong feeling conveyed by the death mask image. By the process itself, I'm not going to be able to change the death mask element, so how can I work with it and make it more meaningful?<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a lot of ways the comparison is not apt, but it could be useful to productively flesh out how my images do and do not work. First, and most obviously, Bacon's works are paintings with brush strokes, scrapes, and splatters of extreme intensity. Bacon's process, his physical energy and, by inference, some part of his state of mind, show up in his paintings. These features of Bacon's works make them dynamic and charismatic, and draw me into the abstraction of the image, wanting to piece together the distended, fragmented bodies. That these works compel me so deeply to interact with them is a sign of a well executed artwork.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
In comparison, my images are cold and unrevealing. They do not show my “hand,” my physical movements or state of mind as the image was created. Although I can make choices of color tone and contrast to convey some of those things, those means are not as effective, loaded, or moving. And I don't think should I expect to find something precisely comparable in these images. So, what are the compositional elements of these images that are uniquely productive? Well, if you know these are scans, and you know how a scanner produces the image by a slow, linear chronology across the pane of glass–then as a viewer you can piece together a short, fragmented history of movement. You could imagine how the sitter may have changed positions, or even how he or she changed moods over the course of the image. But for each small section revealed in that history, there are much larger sections on both sides of the “read head” left unrecorded—obscured. And yet, because of their superficial similarity to photography, I am compelled to read these images, like photographs, as if they convey a singular fleeting moment—as if the ambiguity lies in the particular moment captured rather than in the sequence that must have occurred between various moments. Figuring out how to best take advantage of that is important.<br />

Second point. Bacon's works bleed references from classic paintings, Catholic imagery, and even borrow from some of Muybridge's studies of motion. This underlying structure can be probed and questioned intellectually. We can ask productive questions about modern versus classical representations of the body, and what Bacon may be doing, perhaps as a postwar response to human-inflicted suffering and mutilation, or perhaps as his sort of working out of the homosexual body in light of the strict norms of his time. What I'm driving at is that Bacon, with references like these, has created a second non-physical layer to the works that we can respond to emotionally and intellectually. And as we interact with his works, we see the two layers in conversation, in productive tension or cooperation that build a full and powerful image. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In contrast, my images currently have no references, no intentional precursors, and no deeper structure I am manipulating. They are all surface right now. Any references one could make in one image would not be sustained across multiple images. And there are no connections between them that create tensions or relaxations that would particularly productive. What connects them is a common “look,” a mood, and basic themes. That alone is just boring.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">So perhaps that gives a little direction for these works. In conjunction with tweaking the “looks” (color tones, contrasts, mode of presentation, all the formal elements), I could be working on some content—a second, compelling layer perhaps accomplished by the narratives I was thinking of including earlier. That layer could serve to counterbalance the general moodiness and the dominance of the themes in each of these images, while perhaps giving some continuity across images.</span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">Two artists whose work I admire. I came across BLU last month and immediately thought of William Kentridge—a comparison I imagine is common. The thought came to me when I saw the “ghosting” in BLU's <i>MUTO </i><span style="font-style: normal;">video (</span>how the characters and objects leave a physical trace of their positions from the prior stop frames). I've always loved the ghosting in Kentridge's work; it's such a powerful way to formally develop the themes Kentridge is interested in: South African memory and the resonances Apartheid. For BLU's videos, the ghosts are effective too, in a similar although not identical way. To me, they resemble the swatches and blocks of paint left by property owners or cities that paint over graffiti or street art to discourage their makers. Even if they use the exact same paint it never blends in perfectly. You can tell at least that there was some image or message left there at one time. Often you can see it faintly underneath. These paint swatches resonate for their neighborhoods and provide some sense of layered, indelible memory—the overlapping of opposing forces—the history of conflicts, crimes, and the human impulses to gouge & plaster over.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;">After being sternly warned by a security guard that “Absolutely <i>no</i> photography is <span style="font-style: normal;">allowed</span> in this exhibit,” I continued to photograph the drawings. Since there was only one guard in the exhibit, it was a simple caper. I just kept tabs on his rounds through the different rooms. To avoid drawing attention to myself, I would pretend to scribble something down in my notebook while I traced the course of his footsteps by ear. During one round, as the guard was about to exit the room, I overheard a young man dismiss one of the drawings, “This isn't art.” To the credit of a young woman he was with, she quickly responded, “Of course it is!” Their conversation ended there and I snapped a photo of a barnyard drawn in soot.</span></div><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I tend to agree with the young woman, but with a slight variation on her response: “Of course it can be!” In fact, most anything can be art: a tattered shoe lace in the gutter; the rhythm of the surf on a beach; a mathematic fractal calculated and spit out by a computer. When we call something “art,” we are not simply identifying it as one of a particular class of objects, or one of a certain sort of actions. We call that thing “art” because we are having a relationship with it—an <i>active </i><span style="font-style: normal;">relationship (albeit,</span> of a very particular sort). So when the girl exclaimed, “Of course it is art!” she was affirming that she was having this sort of relationship with the drawing. And when the boy murmured , “This isn't art,” he was merely pointing out, with bitterness, that he was not. The abruptness of their conversation made me wonder if not another sort of relationship had just been denied.</div><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have a hunch that this response, “this isn't art,” (and the denied <span style="-moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;">relationship it most clearly implies)</span> is not an uncommon response to James Castle's drawings and cardboard objects. After all, this temporary exhibit was relatively quiet on both free Thursday nights I've visited while the rest of the museum buzzed with visitors. But perhaps most museum-goers would not question or be interested in whether or not Castle's objects are art. Instead, their lack of enthusiasm could be the result of their answering—in the negative—a much more sophisticated and interesting question of James Castle's work: “Is it good art?” That question is deceptively simple, however, so to begin to answer it for myself, I'll pose a related question that requires a little more work: “In what ways does it fail and in what ways does it succeed if we engage it as art?”</span></div><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">An introduction to James Castle is in order, but you're not going to get it from me. I'm lazy. So rather than paraphrase an already concise one, I'll just reproduce a section of the introduction on the Art Institute's website <a href="http://www.artic.edu/aic/exhibitions/exhibition/jamescastle">[1]</a>:</div><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-left: 0.49in; margin-right: 0.56in;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">An artist who has received growing attention over the past few decades for producing a remarkable body of work without undergoing formal training, James Castle is especially admired for the unique handmade quality, graphic skill, and visual and conceptual range that characterizes his art...</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-left: 0.49in; margin-right: 0.56in;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Castle, an Idaho native who was by all accounts deaf since birth, drew over and over again the living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, barns, sheds, and chicken houses that were rooted in his rural surroundings. His favorite medium was a combination of wood-burning-stove soot and saliva. Because he used found papers, not commercially produced ones, and homemade rather than professional artists’ materials, his works have a singular, immediate, and natural quality—a sort of passionate commitment particular to his art—that complements perfectly the skill and acuteness with which he manipulated his materials.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-left: 0.49in; margin-right: 0.56in;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Castle did not learn to lip-read, fingerspell, or sign but instead seemed to have turned his obsessive and constant production of drawn images into his primary mode of communication. Lacking the tools of vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, Castle structured his own sense of place through the precise architectural and spatial references of his familiar surroundings. He also drew upon a broad assortment of sources for inspiration, including magazines, books, catalogues, advertisements, commercial packaging, newspapers, and cartoons, as well as from the deep resources of his constantly investigatory and analytical mind.</span></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">These are two images I made a little over a year ago for a series I was tentatively calling "the rising." The visual look of the series was developing from what I was seeing in Japanese ehon <a href="http://www.nypl.org/press/2006/ehonLL.cfm">[1]</a> and watercolor. Th</span><span style="font-size: small;">e structure of the series, I was hoping, would loosely represent a lifespan. The first image, besides evoking the Japanese flag (as a nod to the Japanese artistic traditions I was drawing from), was intended to be an image of birth generally, while referencing the mythical birth of Amaterasu Omikami <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaterasu">[2]</a>, the Shinto sun goddess. As well, it borrows from western symbolism the comparison of two types of human creativity—expression and birth. I find this metaphor particularly interesting—both telling and compelling—and my use of it here is in part my working through one of my favorite sections from Whitman's "Song of Myself" <a href="http://flotsam-jetsam-ligan.blogspot.com/2009/05/song-of-myself-section-25-dazzling-and.html">[3]</a>.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> I intended the second image, to represent in part a passage into death, but also, as the moon functions symbolically in Western tradition, a form of rebirth. I had it in mind that the images would be viewed cyclically, so that one could start again at the rising sun.</span> <br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;">Overall, I was hoping the work would flaunt the divide between “eastern” and “western” pre-globized culture that has persisted for both practical and political reasons. The images would be sort of be an irreverent mingling of the two, for the joy of it.</span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">These two images and that general outline above was as far as I got before being derailed by other things—life. I'm not sure if I'll ever pick up the project again or not. So, I figured I'd bring them back to mind and see what would happen.</span></div></div></div>Daniel Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12410788270926090710noreply@blogger.com0
