Lewis McGuffie & Situation of Artistic Discussion

"Offline senden"

Der Imperativ des Radios scheint das permanente Ausstrahlen und das
Arbeiten mit einem Sender zu sein. Das ist hier bewusst naiv formuliert,
weil es genau darum ginge, diese Stelle des Medialen beim Radio, also
das Senden mit Sender, in Frage zu stellen. Hat nicht William S.
Burroughs bereits das Senden ohne Sender geprobt wie einen Aufstand?

"Broadcasting offline"

The imperative of radio seems to be the permanent airing and working
with a sender. This is worded consciously in a naive way since the
matter is to put into question exactly this media topos of the radio,
the broadcasting with a broadcaster. William S. Burroughs was testing
broadcasting without a broadcaster like revolution, wasn't he?

Lewis McGuffie's approach examines Myths of Modern Times in relation
to Radio, hence the relationship of nature and technology. He refers
to a "discourse" of the invisibility of a immateriality and therefore
materiality for which the Gnome in a way becomes the incarnation. The
(German?) Gnom/e who transmits solar flare storms.

ZEITKRITISCHE MALEREI II

Jeramy Turner (Ölmalerei)

Ausstellung vom 26.05. bis zum 17.06.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT:

"My paintings are about history, society, power and the abuse of power. They are about America, about the horrors inflicted on this earth by American imperialism. They are simultaneously about the will to transform that which appears immutable.

My protagonists adapt and mutate to a deadened world, polluted and destroyed beyond comprehension. They are not necessarily present in every painting; even in their corporeal absence, the perpetrators of catastrophe and madness shirk in fear of their potential appearance.

I am compelled as I paint to expose as vividly as I can the underside of power: the absurdity, the obesity, the impotence; and then the utter blindness on the part of the rulers to the remarkable realm of human capacity. All of this I want to expose bare naked and glaring in its startling clarity."
