SHOCK BANG SHOW PROJECT

EVERY BUYER WILL BECOME
A PARTNER-PRODUCER OF THE PROJECT.

A poster (signed and with a dedication to the purchaserupon request) and digigraphic prints in different sizes will be sold to collect basic seed money for the project, which I am currently undertaking in collaboration with the English music producer James Barrett.

His or her name will appear on my web site, on all the press and promotion documents, as well as in the published brochure and in the program of the shows once the project has been produced and is running.

The Seed Funding will allow me to produce the first mock-ups, paintings, lighting designs, and to write a brochure launching the visual and musical show.

It is a three-dimensional project in color, form, light, and sound to be produced on theater stages and to be made available also in areas of contemplation and consciousness-raising before entering the exhibitions.

The project's set design with adjustable parts will be made on a scale of 1:10 and in virtual reality. Included will be miniature panel projectors that in their color projection will isolate certain shapes and colors in order to modify them or hide them to emphasize other ones. Different colored-light projectors, which will follow the singer-artists on the stage or at times make them disappear, will be put in as well, as will projectors such as Blinders (or Molefays), cyclorama, and so forth. A music example will be composed linking rhythms found in the sounds of nature with the jolts provoked by firearms or mortar shells.

With this in mind, I am arranging a sale of numbered posters and digigraphiclithographs. All the artworks shown on my site are signed (some can be dedicated upon request). Their lower-than-normal price runs from 28 to 190 Euros ($38 to $255). Their secure online purchase can be made via PayPal.

We think of the weapons that kill but do we ever think of the people who do the killing? Do we try to understand why some people torture – today as much as yesterday –, why they make others suffer and become murderers while, at the same time, so many others merely prove how lax they are as they let them go their way without understanding why, without questioning its origin, without saying a word unless it is to conceal the truth beneath easy and indirect accusations.

We are all guilty of the crimes that are perpetually perpetrated, today as much as yesterday. Aren't we all people with ashen eyes, just like that Jewish tailor described in ArnosLustig's "A Prayer for Katerina Horowitzowa" who, in all his cowardice, became associated with the worst of crimes by agreeing to become an accomplice of the killers, by saying nothing, understanding nothing, and-through his non-action - participating in the worst of crimes, that of accepting the murder of his own people in the gas chambers?

For more than forty years my artistic approach has been connected to contemplation and an ever-growing awareness. But somehow today I am appalled by the laxity that is so evident in so many individuals who, while hiding behind facile pretexts and deceptive fine sentiments, limply lead and induce the world to head downward without questioning themselves about the rose they have been growing in a minefield.

With this in mind, I am arranging an end-of-the-year, one time only, sale of numbered posters and digigraphiclithographs. All the artworks shown on my site are signed (some can be dedicated upon request). Their lower-than-normal price runs from 28 to 190 Euros ($38 to $255). Their secure online purchase can be made via PayPal.
