“The human memory is registering and preserving information about all kinds of phenomenon and events as well as the entire gamut of experiences accessible on individual and communitarian level.”

The stages of humanity, roughly speaking, or of a society are being stocked in the collective memory and putted up to date by individuals. It is interesting to notice in what measure are the individuals influenced by this fact and how much are they accepting to merge with a certain pattern – image, with a certain brand or trend, with this evolution and in what measure the free will and the emotional investment are reflected in to their private living style (?).

In the same time, borrowing styles and consumerism are creating hybrids that lead us to a loss of a geographical area’s identity / memory.

Is the surrounding ambient result a product of several cumulated elements: society’s evolution, technology, globalization, geographical area, social condition, culture, aesthetical preferences, information’s accessibility, the desire of an alignment to certain today’s standards?

In what measure are the past, the present and the future reflected into these habitats?

Are we the 2000’s?

CONCEPT of I'm Going Glocal text by Octavian Neagu(DK) & Saskia Te Nicklin(DK)

Glocal History - Concept

HISTORY : 1 . the developmental process of society's phenomenon;
2 . a science that studies (investigates) the complex development of society , a nation and so on .

The History requires : facts , attitudes , evolution , transformations(changes) , essences(substances) , effects (consequences) , attributes , transitions , (equi)valences and so on.
Scraping the History and tacking pictures of each other through the History , the 2 characters having distinct valences - one GREY and the other one MULTI COLORED- are not only approaching the identity destruction but also of identity maintenance and the consequences borne by the LOCAL History as the result of GLOBAL expansion and of turning into GLOCAL History.
At the same time , by taking photos , the 2 characters are seeking their ( new) identity , they are comparing themselves with each other , they are (self) investigating each other , and they are looking at each other through the mirror , seeking their ( equi)valences.

The HISTORY is ( re) created / WE are ( self) included .

COME ON BABY LIGHT MY FIRE / concept

2006-07-24T01:34:00.000-07:00

It's an ironical project ,aiming to reveal social/cultural/political issues and the mentality differences ( North<>South<>East<>West) and the alienation of the modern man in the present society of consumption.
Or about loosing the oneness of the person in a social space who constantly creates patterns and about polluting the concept of zonal tradition encouraging the brand new global coordinates.

DOWN/ works & concept

2006-07-23T05:50:00.000-07:00

paintings/oil on canvas/2005

A project about the separation/detachment issue from the urbane(city) space.
I,the ONLOOKER, look at the city from another "angle ", from another "point of view".
The only escape from this "crazy" and mental congested , it's UP / ABOVE.
Details are going to be lost and became unimportant.
We are loosing more and more from our vital space... City's town-planning became more and more "tired", "overloaded"...
It's about the " anxiety" of the crowded places, a kind of an "city phobia".

INCIDENT/concept

2006-07-23T04:55:00.000-07:00

It's a project researching social,emotional,moral and spiritual problems.
INCIDENT begins with this painting series dealing with the evolution concept.

"Passing trough the fire it's a condition of a lifting up to a higher existence..."

Incident... absorbing,sharping
Incident ...handling roughly
Incident... controlling, capturing, creating
Incident... dematerializes,fulfilling,decliche,destroying
Incident...exciting,elevating,existing
Incident... fecundating
Incident...generating
Incident...hyperbolic
Incident...instigating, idealizing, tempting,salvaging,intensifying
Incident...

How can we communicate using a plastic knife/HIBRID 8 featuring SURSA group withLOADING performance

2006-07-13T15:17:00.000-07:00

Many times the schemes can be memorized and worst ,even used continuously.
This is not a performance,it's an experiment!Questions doesn't stop at answers.Them recreate a space,"battle-field",with a strong position in the contemporary society.The answer transform the question and on the other way the question transform the answer,looking for the border between artificial and natural.
Where is the final of the artificial and where is the beginning of the natural?
How much is truth and how much is it fake?
The 2 identical performing personage are punched with a sigle , like SF heroes are,already common, invented by the society(Superman,Batman, Spider man,etc).But they communicate separated ,by a glass wall in these case,not knowing what questions or what answers they will get.
Is it there automatism or cliche in contemporary social system(society)?
Supersaturating?
The experiment has its place in the delikat-ed area of communication!

foot note: The following are questions and answers written on the gallery's window ,by the 2 identical performing personages. The window was prepared before with chocolate strips on both sizes of the glass window.

1. What do the arbitrators say?
1. On 8 and 10 they enjoy their success, on 12, 13 and 21 inspiration is remarkable.
2. They fight life!
2. How can we play, then?
3. Boy , what do you say?
3. Breasts asymmetry in the matter of their size, form or their positioning is not a problem.
4. What are your coordinates?
4. Breaking the bones to extract the marrow!
5. How much shit can you eat?
5. How can I answer to you?
