"Playing with Fire"
We're turning up the heat
Drinking the Kool-Aid of deranged leaders and corporations
With an unquenchable thirst
Our own trauma resonating with theirs
Exploited once again
As we came to expect at an early age
The wounds never healed

This Be The Verse
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.

@Rackuur You could add the #dangerousart . It suits very well with this art project.

Thank you @Curator and @Yishay for the #DangerousArt workshop! It has left me with a lot to think about and some directions to go in.
I have a daily sketching practice: this is yesterday's of a sculpture near the local art museum. I ponder how this is political. Maintaining a daily practice? Occupying public space to do art? I suspect both of these, and more.

Being hold by mother natureDay 07 of #DangerousArt
I made this sculpture last year - and even though my last works for this workshop were quite different, for me this one shows another aspect of our relationship with nature, with our earth. A really tender one, which I also want to show in this context.

CW: brutal sculpture
#DangerousArt Day 7
I never showed this raw sculpture to anybody before, but it is very important to myself and at the core of what I personally struggle with.Complex trauma piles physical and psychical abuse onto helplessness and leaves you hardly functional.
All expression is triggering more abuse, hate and anger.You get a plug rammed down your throat and have no voice, no song, no dance, no joy.
That this tree had a rotten core fits perfectly with how it eats away at you.

It's the last day of our #DangerousArt workshop. Today we're bringing the lessons of the previous six days together, and we're looking at Kurt Jooss' The Green Table ballet, choreographed between the two world wars but still particularly poignant, and relevant, today.

Trust yourself and your journey, trust the art you've made and will make - and remember, *All Art Is Political*.

Accessibility. #DangerousArt Day 6. An irony of image-making in the Internet era is that given the billions of images posted online daily, it feels like getting one's art out onto the street can make it more visible, at least locally. Here are a couple of possible ways, as seen on an early morning holiday walk today: the public bulletin board and some collaborative street art.
I'm pondering how street art encourages simplification: subtle details tend to get lost in the reproduction process.

Two days of the #DangerousArt workshop left! We hope everyone has been enjoying, and learning lots - though we're sure it's been a tough process :artcapy4:
Day 6 is accessibility, both in making and distributing your art. Stickers, wheatpaste posters, graffiti, pamphlets, public performances - there are many ways to escape the 'white cube' space and make your work live in the world!

Ionization. A watercolor painting for #DangerousArt Day 5. This is inspired by a haunting thread from several days ago (https://zeroes.ca/@subjacentish/111444423550650844) applying lessons from Hannah Arendt to the pandemic, the context of her discussion being the extreme atomization of European societies following World War I.

#DangerousArt Day 5
Inspired by my exchange with @t_robinart on how saturated our language is with questionable words, I tried to refine my topic of 'religion', mostly using Christian wording, but it applies to any religion, country, race etc. and is much more subtle than what I could do today.
Again I used #Tooll3 to build a kind of mindplotter of such words to irritate the brain a bit out of literal thinking.
In the background, imaging to hear 'Imagine' by John Lennon
"Imagine no ..." 1/x -
#DangerousArt Day 5 is here!
https://delsdoodles.com/nothopeless/posts/day5/
Today is all about essence and deepening the emotional message of your work. The example we're using is the poem/song Strange Fruit, with its deeply political and heartbreaking verses that became an anthem of the anti-lynching movement in the 1930s.
-
@Curator I'm finding the workshop to be both exciting and daunting. I mostly do realistic sketches, so making art around important ideas is pretty new and challenging for me.
I believe that analytical reason only gets us so far when trying to solve the predicaments of our age, and what we need in addition is magic. And one form of magic certainly is #DangerousArt. I'm enjoying this.

Mask diary. An illustration in ink and watercolor for #DangerousArt Day 4 combining contrast and seriality. I'm dabbling around the theme of systems failure in public health.

So, Day 4 of #DangerousArt for me is writing this up.
Traumatised people traumatise people.
Traumatised people elect traumatised people, since they get in resonance with their interned despair, made into grandiosity and bluster.The craving of money and power is one way of trying to deal with those old wounds, the trauma, the helplessness and despair.
'Never again will I be that weak' - and off into repeating or even inflating the old wounds we are. 7/x -
Day 4 of #DangerousArt
Today is completely different:
@Yishay 's comment on "Punching Nazis" and recommendation of tender persistence makes me change course here.Meet my father, Ernst Friedrich Helzle, born 1920, to a father who was wounded in WWI and supposedly beat him up quite brutally. To me he looks pretty lost on this image.
His father had been a rose gardener in a big park in Stuttgart and played a violin he built himself in the war camp he was interned in.

It's the middle day of our #DangerousArt workshop, and today is a hard day, the day that can make or break.
We're reinvigorating the commitment; you're getting tired, you might feel you're not learning anything (though you really are!) - like, okay, we did different techniques, today is a bit blah blah; it's a delicate point in the development.
We're taking the previous lessons, mixing direct and indirect, bringing all the different tools into one place. 🧵
-
For those who are participating in the #DangerousArt workshop - how are you finding it?
What are you learning?
What's been interesting for you?
Do you have any questions?
Have you been particularly drawn to any of the featured artists?
How much has it inspired your creativity, and has it made you think about your art in different ways?

#DangerousArt Day 4 is live!
https://delsdoodles.com/nothopeless/posts/day4/
Heads up, there's Nazi iconography in today's lesson.
Day 4 is bringing together the previous techniques in a mix and match, getting to the point of our chosen topic in direct and indirect ways, through seriality and contrast.
We're looking at Nancy Chunn's work painting over newspaper front pages, which is both accessible and impactful, and John Heartfield's iconic antifascist photomontages from WW2.

Seriality. #DangerousArt Day 3. I'm continuing with the theme of representing systems as pipes with the bottommost set having devolved into a tangled complex mess.
-
Day 3 of #DangerousArt
Todays result for the "serial" topic is a very calm and simple animation. Again done in #Tooll3 which I'm learning in the process.
Enjoy! :-)

#DangerousArt Day 3:
I remembered this war poem we read in school when I thought about todays topic 'serialisation':1944 Krieg Krieg Krieg Krieg Krieg Krieg Krieg Krieg Krieg Krieg Krieg Krieg
1945 Krieg Krieg Krieg Krieg MaiErnst Jandl (1925-2000)
The translation would be:
1944 War War War War War War War War War War War War
1945 War War War War May -
I found the friction point easier to articulate in a series.
I was reminded of this subject by a question about should someone take off their shoes in the home. It’s a personal choice of the homeowner and often cultural. But at a work meeting years ago some staff spoke about refusing to provide a home health service to families where taking shoes off was required. I said nothing at the time and I still seethe over the cultural arrogance and my silence.

Been following #DangerousArt
I’m struggling with favoriting or boosting many of the posts. Neither seems right given the intensely personal nature of what is being shared and created, but I hope participants know their posts are being seen and they are having an impact even if it doesn’t seem like it

The Heart Bleeds Acid
I am struggling with articulating the friction. I may revisit this lesson.
For the moment the ugliness of the image is contrast with the beauty of the colours.

#DangerousArt
Racism. I hate racism. The overt in your face racism of the self proclaimed bigot, who paradoxically may be the most honest of all. The hypocritical racism of the pious who wants to save us from our own culture. The self deluding racism of the liberal who calls the oppression of a white system “freedom”. But most of all how racism radicalises the victim and turns us into the monster. Who ends up consuming ourselves. I hate the hate and suspicion I feel because of hate. -
I love that your making a #zine for the #DangerousArt workshop.
Artist books, journals and zines have the advantage of being tactile and sculptural, as well as visual and portable. That's the best of all options from my POV.
My sketchbook art journals are a great place for me to vent. Here's a page I made while I was angry about the UK COVID death toll and inaction on climate change.
