Art*umentary introduction with prof. hans von puppet
From the Cultural Fusion Art as Philosophy (cfAaP) series (inquiry into alternatives to protest art) this video has been inspired by fondness for puppets, Public Service Announcements from my childhood mixed with memories of guest speakers and business training introductions.The professor speaks for several "role voices" as he gives a brief introduction of why this and why now. While the video is another step in transforming conflict, making contrast and convergence work - seeing how it can work.Since I might forget if I don't note it here - prof. hans as part of symbolic theme of institutional critique and reference to interest in new applications for academic Art Based research models.
Art*umentary - Artspeaks the Amercian Gothic Farmer
What if "The Farmer" from the American Gothic Painting by Grant Wood were a real farmer trying to survive today? Now imagine that surviving meant becoming a social entrepreneur. In this infomercial parody we imagine about the changes made to maximize the success of the new enterprise.From the Cultural Fusion Art as Philosophy (cfAaP) series (inquiry into alternatives to protest art) this video pays homage to those inside the artist's studio type documentaries mashed up with serious investigative documentaries that blow the lid off of something.This video continues with business as conceptual performance art and solution. Where other artists have pioneered business as performance for socially progressive dialogues, my interest is in developing Art as solution.Art speaks plays with this idea to embody the farmer from the famed American Gothic painting as a business innovator. The artful and the bottom line converge with the call to action In business a point of delineation is that there must be a call to action.Here that is expressed by the Maverick Hero training offer.
