MAKING ART WHEN NOTHING MAKES SENSE: This little passage from Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut (they are talking about the Abstract Expressionist movement) makes me think very much about this project: When it was all talked out, she sighed, and she shook her head. “It was the last conceivable thing a painter could do to a canvas, so you did it," she said. “Leave it to Americans to write, ‘The End.’" "I hope that’s not what we’re doing," I said. “I hope very much that is what you’re doing," she said. “After all that men have done to the women and children and every other defenseless thing on this planet, it is time that not just every painting, but every piece of music, every statue, every play, every poem and book a man creates, should say only this: ‘We are much too horrible for this nice place. We give up. We quit. The end!’" ................................................................ We as artists work hard to make sense of the world, of our place and our role in the world... we work hard to make sense of art itself and arts role in humanity... and we are working hard in The Sho: filthy/mockingbird to make sense of the sense-making process. Please help us by donating to this amazing project. Any amount helps, really. $1. $5. It all adds up We need to be raising $100 a day to meet our goal of $6000 and receive any of the money we have raised so far. This is worthwhile. This is a good use of money.
