The Scene: Each one of us at mission control. Like at a computer with multiple windows open. Sets. Vignettes. Central frame. Fragment. Mike Kelly. Amusement park. Inside/Outside. Costume change. Identity malleability. Confusion of object and space. Body dissolve. Figure/Ground relations between temporary installations and temporary spaces, between installations and paintings (color clues). Ephemeral being. Pigment like pharmaceutical. Lab. Bass. Base. Relics and nature locked away. Representations all. Star Wars. Pre-School Shape sorter. Children's museum. Portals. Props for camera-happy viewers. Nautical nautilus. Bodies moving in artificial space. Aerobics. Detachment. Mickey Mouse Sleight of hand. Surface and innards. A painterly practice concerned with environment. Transitions. Pictures worth a thousand words, if not less. Head blown off. Fade to black. And cut...
Casting couch. The possibilities are endless.
The Abstract: Painting on canvas as an academic exercise like so many notes on a chalkboard, temporary, arbitrary, and of the moment. Next scene...
Conclusion: Revenge of the Nerds: The Prequel
