YTPMV
YTPMV is a subgenre of YouTube Poop which uses the traditional YTP source material as a basis for composing original music.
Unlike the makers of classic music videos, YTPMV artists compose all aspects of their work: sound and image. They also take great pains to distinguish their work from the more popular AMV genre, which overlays pop songs with anime imagery.
YTPMV music itself hews closely to pop forms, but it's user-generated and (in the spirit of YouTube Poop) splats vast amounts of energy.

Michael Arata in the LA Weekly
by Kevin Freitas
Los Angeles artist Michael Arata gets a nice review from Doug Harvey in this week's LA Weekly for his current show at Kristi Engle Gallery in Highland Park. We're as proud as Punch!
On another note, it doesn't seem to be all that big of a deal to review art shows in the LA Weekly on a weekly basis. Perhaps Seth Combs and Co. from San Diego's own weekly, CityBeat, should take a lesson or two on how its done. I'm just sayin'...
Review by Doug Harvey
A slightly darker take on pop seriality and gender can be found in Michael Arata’s latest group of paintings, collectively titled “Remember,” on view at Kristi Engle Gallery in Highland Park. Arata, whose work often hinges on outrageous humor or (as with his wall-creeping modular contribution to the “Some Paintings” L.A. Weekly Biennial) playful interactivity, has shifted into a more solemn — though hardly less edgy — mode, appropriating the images of 54 anonymous women whose photos were found in the apartment of L.A.-based serial killer William Bradford in 1984.

Neon Genesis Evangelion
by Richard Gleaves
Until recently my exposure to anime had consisted primarily of a satisfying addiction to anything Miyazaki. But then I learned of Neon Genesis Evangelion, an anime series written and directed by Hideaki Anno which spans 11 hours of television episodes and a concluding movie.
If Miyazaki's work embodies classical art cinema à la Kurosawa, NGE comes off as a kind of mad dog masterpiece which strains so hard at its genre seams that it finally bursts into something entirely one of a kind. (Think Wagner making Saturday morning cartoons.)
NGE themes include adolescent fantasy, rampant Christian symbolism, sex, opera, penguins, budget battles, gods, angels, robots, Nevada, domestic chores, death battles, clones, computers, mental illness, the United Nations, hubris, teen angst, global warming, bad parenting, mushroom clouds, beer, Antarctica, spies, aliens, poetry, human extinction, crotch shots, Tokyos, origin myths, psychoanalysis, the Dead Sea scrolls, Beethoven, global conspiracies, existentialism, homosexuality, watermelons, and more, all set in a plot line as elliptical and labyrinthine as any novel you've ever tackled, and laced throughout with a pervasive underlying sadness.
Anno, who clearly knows his art house, created such a compelling pop series that when in the final episodes he abruptly took the story in a 720-degree left turn, the resulting viewer uproar included not just blistering criticism, but death threats. Hence the concluding movie, End of Evangelion, which attempts to tie up various loose ends.
If you're willing to invest 12 hours in close-attention viewing — a task made considerably easier by the oft-beautiful imagery (Anno launched his career working for Miyazaki) — you'll come out with a pretty good handle on how far anime can be pushed as an art form. The general consensus on the net is polarized between WTF and "the most moving story I've ever experienced", which given the work is only to be expected.
The TV series and movie are available on Netflix, and can also be found (in 10-minute chunks) on YouTube.

A World Not Unlike Our Own
by Richard Gleaves
In 1970 a graffiti culture emerged in New York. Less than a decade later the cultural practice had become an urban fixture, public scourge, and (not least) a full-blown art movement which in its stylistic innovation rivaled anything in modern art history.
The rapid evolution of graffiti art followed from a specific set of circumstances:
- Ready access to the necessary technology
- A medium uniquely suited to reaching a large and diverse community
- A team of dedicated practitioners driven by social ambition
- A core set of aesthetic values shared by the practitioners
Such movements are easy to recognize in hindsight — but spotting them as they unfold can be a tricky proposition, for two reasons:
- The practice often remains hidden from or inaccessible to potential viewers.
- The esthetics employed are insufficiently mainstream to be acknowledged as art.
Fast-forward to 2009: graffiti is now a standard tool in the arsenal of corporate marketers. But what rough art lurks out there, waiting to be born?
The answer, it turns out, is on YouTube.

The organizing structure behind ‘Garage Sale’ is that of a group of individuals who all have an interest in objects with histories. Some of us are attracted to the seductive qualities of these objects for use in daily life, others for use in art practice, and some in both. The concept of this event began as conversation between Joy and myself as a way to fundraise for the space. This conversation grew to include other people and eventually it was decided that a ‘garage sale’ fits the informality of the space better than other economic and/or commercial forms that could engage the neighborhood. It was also an interesting way to approach ‘everyday objects’ in relationship to ‘art objects’. What is the difference? Is there a difference?

Tom Torluemke at the Indianapolis Marion County Public Library
Artist Torluemke Reads Between the Lines in His Epic Mural
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Building upon the impressive precedence of painted murals in libraries and public buildings across the United States, northwest Indiana artist Tom Torluemke has taken on a task that he views as the opportunity of a lifetime.
Torluemke used the written word as inspiration for his new mural, "The Book of Life: The people we know, the experiences we have and the conditions under which we live," for the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library. The recently-installed mural, located in the Nina Mason Pulliam Indianapolis Special Collections Room on the 6th floor of Central Library, was loosely inspired by the novel, The Magnificent Ambersons, written by Indiana author Booth Tarkington, who won the Pulitzer Prize for this work in 1919.

KAI ONE - "Urban Detritus" - Works for sale
KAI ONE is a damn fine graffiti artist. The homeboy from Tucson has something special running through his veins, other than Krylon Ultra Flat Black, that gives him a brillant artistic edge over his competitors. It is first and foremost, his dedication to the art form of graffiti. Secondly, respect for others and his art, and an unsatiable drive and energy that pushes him to innovate, take risks, and generally improve upon the state of graffiti today. "Don't count the kid out," is one of KAI's mottos - a way of life perhaps - that insures that we won't. His work is just too strong. Keep this in mind while you're admiring the works below: KAI ONE is to graffiti what Muhammed Ali was to boxing - a champion!
All the pieces on view, have come from KAI's first one-man show at Art Produce Gallery in San Diego. If you would like to know more about his process and influences, a video interview of KAI alongside his work in the gallery can be seen here.

Tom Torluemke in Terre Haute, Indiana
Tom Torluemke is in the news again, this time, with a wonderful article about his current mural project in Terre Haute, Indiana. Tom was commissioned by Indiana State University, in conjunction with the Gilbert Wilson Memorial Mural Project, to paint a mural on the side of the Booker T. Washington Park Community Center. The image (above), entitled "Teaching," was chosen for the Community Center's wall over "lots and lots" of other proposals up for review. We here at Art as Authority say, "Congratulations Tom!"
You can also see some of Tom's drawings here in San Diego, currently on view in the COPY exhibit, downtown, at Simayspace Gallery through April 25th.

Hervé Crespel - Dessins de délassement
by Herve Crespel
Hervé Crespel has come up with another series of stunning works which he calls his "dessins de délassement" or simply translated "relaxed drawings". They could be viewed as gesture drawings, warm-up exercises or drawing to loosen up and free the creative soul. And while they are indeed "loose" in line and color, they are also infused with wry commentary and somewhat biting humor that can be very dark at times. Hervé has catagorized his drawings into three classical themes, they are: WAR, ANTIQUES and BEAUTY. What else does one need in life? Enjoy! KF
WAR
C'est la guerre des Tupper Roses contre les Tupper verts, histoires à se raconter au bord de l'évier ou bien frayeur le matin après une nuit bien arrosée.
It's the war between the rose tupper(ware) and the green tupper(ware), stories to be told around the sink or that can startle ones morning after a night of celebrating.

"Woluwe Park" - New Paintings - Hervé Crespel
by Kevin Freitas
"Woluwe Park" - Hervé Crespel
Oil on canvas, 30cm x 24cm
Woluwe or Woluwe-Saint-Pierre is a Dutch/French community, one of 19 municipalities that make up the Brussel Capital. Similar to La Jolla, CA in its spacious rolling landscape and luxurious housing, Woluwe is probably best known for its Tervuren Avenue: a vast tree-lined boulevard which is often used for temporary outdoor sculpture installations. One of the more memorable expositions was by the French artist Bernard Venet, large forged steel "Curly-Q's" that spiraled down the parkway only to be toilet-papered the next evening by young vandals.
Woluwe Park was built around the end of the 19th century and is recognized for its large sequoias, cypresses and abundant wildlife. Within the city of Woluwe is the Palais Stoclet, commissioned by Adolphe Stoclet and built between 1905 and 1911 by the architect Josef Hoffmann - one of many exquisite manors that can still be seen there today. Gustav Klimt was also commissioned to do paintings and mosaics for the Stoclet palace.
Hervé Crespel's "plein air" paintings of Woluwe Park represent a new direction in imagery for his work, while retaining the solid brushwork, color and abstract shapes and forms that are found in previous canvases. Nature, while plenty of it can be found in the heart of Brussels, is rarely seen in such vivid greens, yellows, sumptuous inky blacks, and royal purple shadows that Crespel brings together in these pieces.
When the sun is out in Brussels, and the rays are illuminating everything before your eyes, you'd better go out and paint it.

SUBSTITUTION 2007
by Kevin Freitas
NOTE: below is the original posting of the SUBSTITUTION project I've been working on for several years. I published the results of 2006 here and didn't think much about doing a 2007 edition until now. One of the original artists who participated, Francis Bekemans from Gent/Gand Belgium, sent me his 2007 response spontaneously without me asking - thank you very much - that has since inspired me to lance a 2007 version. I encourage you all to participate, have fun and don't take it too seriously. You can leave your responses in the comment section at the bottom of this page. So, Instead of making art... what do you do?
I began a project several years ago entitled Substitution, which until now, was never completed. I asked several artists to complete the following sentence: “Instead of Making Art I ___” (Au lieu de faire de l'art je/j'ai ___ ) by filling in the blank. The idea was taken from a conceptual art project of the same name, by the artist Frederick Barthelme in the 1970's. He had at the time, sent the same question to artists and friends via letters and the beloved fax machine. By doing so, Barthelme cast his question in a bottle into a sea of responses. I've not seen many of the original answers he received in return and would hope that they're compiled somewhere in an anthology of conceptual art.
I’ve always had a great interest in this type of art, a soft spot for Dada & Surrealism, and word/text art in general. I liked the simplicity of Barthelme’s project and decided to do a "cover", so to speak, of his project by updating it by 21st century standards in using the communication technology of today – email. I emailed the artists participating the exact same question and encouraged them to use other technics such as digital images, animations, graphics etc. as a way of answering. The only rule (hardly) was that the responses remain virtual, no printed or hard copies were accepted.
I hope you'll discover a variety of responses that are surprising, that are often very candid, and often times are very funny but nonetheless worthy of further discussion and investigation into what artists do with their FREE time when not making art. If such a thing could be possible... I also encourage you to leave your own comments as to what you do or don't do, when not working as an artist. Enjoy!

Exposé part II - Tom Torluemke - his paintings
by Kevin Freitas
“The Secret Life of Salvador Dali,” published in 1942 against the backdrop of spectacular world events including World War II, the Sino-Japanese War, the Wannsee conference in Berlin which opened the doors to the Holocaust - to name but a few, Dali wrote a manifesto of sorts aptly entitled “My Battle” which wasn’t fought with the Allies against the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan but was fought against conformity in any spiritual, philosophical or aesthetic form. It was one man’s fight against the Nine Muses or any Muse for that matter that threatened to level the battle field to a match nul.

Exposé - Tom Torluemke
by Kevin Freitas
I WAS recently asked by Linda Dorman and Tom Torluemke of Uncle Freddy's Gallery (Hammond, Indiana), to write an essay about Tom's latest paper installation work and current paintings, to be published in a catalog. Here is the following article and some of Tom's latest creations.
In AD 105, a Chinese official by the name of Ts’ai Lun, invented papermaking using textile waste and is considered to be the birth of paper as we know it today. Since then, paper has been used by artists, society, and the government as a very vital and necessary documentary tool that links us to a rich past and increasingly perilous future.
And herein lies the rub. A classic example and struggle between the old and the new, an industrial age versus a technological newer one, craftsmanship versus commercially produced, made in America versus made in China, Taiwan, India, Mexico ad naseum, outsourced jobs that lead to outsourced unemployment in foreign countries outsourcing further still to more cost effective foreign competitors with not surprisingly, lower labour costs. The list is long, yet we still all have a dream no? Is it uniquely an American dream?

Le Dormeur du Val - November 11, 1918
André Mantegna, Le Christ Mort, 1480-1490
LE DORMEUR DU VAL
C'est un trou de verdure où chante une rivière
Accrochant follement aux herbes des haillons
D'argent; où le soleil de la montagne fière,
Luit; C'est un petit val qui mousse de rayons.
Un soldat jeune bouche ouverte, tête nue,
Et la nuque baignant dans le frais cresson bleu,
Dort; il est étendu dans l'herbe, sous la nue,
Pale dans son lit vert où la lumière pleut.
Les pieds dans les glaïeuls, il dort. Souriant comme
Sourirait un enfant malade, il fait un somme:
Nature, berce-le chaudement: il a froid.
Les parfums ne font plus frissonner sa narine;
Il dort dans le soleil, la main sur sa poitrine
Tranquille. Il a deux trous rouges au coté droit.

Recommended Film - Night Watch
A film by Nochnoy Dozor, directed by Timur Bekmambetov
Excellent movie set in present-day Moscow about the struggle between light and darkness. Review by Gerry Carpenter (webmaster@scifilm.org) from Salt Lake City, UT
A thousand years ago two forces met on the battle field, the warriors of light and the army of darkness. As the battle raged, the two forces proved to be exactly balanced, and so a decision was made maintain that balance and the two sides came to an agreement that neither side would breach. And to enforce the agreement two watches were formed: the Day Watch and the Night Watch. The Night Watch is composed of the forces of good who work to keep the forces of evil from breaching the agreement and vice versa. The watches continue today... Warriors of virtue (some are shape changers, others have less definable talents) who fight against rogue vampires, witches, etc. Both sides are usually invisible to normal people unless they choose to be seen, except for a few "others" who can see and interact with the immortals. And therein lies the instability, because the "others" also have the potential to become immortals and they can go toward either side. Plus, there is a prophecy of a "Great One" who will shift the balance, plunging the world into an era of light or darkness.
Great action, good use of CGI and practical effects. Excellent soundtrack. It reminded me quite a bit of Jeunet's directional style (CITY OF LOST CHILDREN), but more than anything the movie reminded me of the recent Bollywood sci-fi actioner RUDRAKSCH.
This one is definitely recommended if you are tired of the same old Hollywood formula crap. Especially if you are a fan of Horror/Action with a dash of Sci-Fi.
