Greetings, you smiling keepers of the secret ways to divide by zero! I stand in drooling awe, bewitched by your spells. Your videos remind me of Larry Carlson, of www. larrycarlson. com. I wonder if you have any songs not posted anywhere currently? I would love to hear them.
Saturday May 17th 7PM Barry Johnston Fine Art presents
IASTHAI:a speculative reenactment of the Dream War by Jason Wallace Triefenbach
This is the inaugural artist micro-residency at our new Hollywood studio/ showroom.
Triefenbach's plans for the four day residency involve an immediate reversal of the usual timeline one might expect.
His performance and installation, which he describes as "...an acid trip down memory lane into the unresolved trauma of Westward expansion: its piggish annihilation of millenia-old indiginous spiritual traditions and the continuing karmic reverberations still gnawing at our culture's frayed wires," will not take place as a culminating event, but almost immediately upon his arrival: he is giving himself less than 24 hours to prepare for the event.
For the rest of his time here, Triefenbach plans to "see the sights, hit the beach, and try my hand at a bit of good old fashioned networking.
"
In the midst of such irreverence, Triefenbach's work evinces a carefully constructed social personae and working methodology in which sculptures, drawings, videos, and performances overlap and merge into one another in kaleidescopic fashion.
In a written statement, the artist describes his process thusly: "... a complex formal terrain upon which autobiography, fantasy and politics mingle, morph, and grow beyond this author's original intentions... I have tried to retain and hone the sense of impropriety I possessed as a teenager while bringing to the table a man's meal of subtlety, thoughtfulness, and force.
