Seid Madr Recap

Another weekend and another art opening equals more great photos from The Rathaus. This week’s installment features Ostaf Heller’s opening at DotDotDot Artspace entitled “Seid Madr”. To create his work Heller uses various levels of heat from a blow torch to “paint” abstracted elements onto copper plates which act as his canvases. We may not understand all the science behind Heller’s work but we know we dig it.

Aaron Storck’s “Wizard Ningxt”

“Drywall screws by the 100k, tape it in series up and down. Quick time labor magic, and sodas, ice teas, crumpled lunch wrappers of chipotle burrito and sandwich lunch are added as extra reality for time capsule between stud boards entombed”.

A quote from the narrative written by artist Aaron Storck to accompany his latest multimedia creation that was on display at the DotDotDot Artspace in Lawrence, KS from Nov. 1st -8th. Although Storck entitled the installation “Wizard Ningxt,” it had nothing to do magic and everything to do with our current economic environment. Unless, of course, you consider talking people into sub-prime loans to be a form of magic.

Using found objects, performance video, and original 2-D and 3-D works, Storck built a microcosm of an America that is currently facing its own failed housing system. The installation feels a part of some 21st century ghost town, where construction has been abandoned due to the credit crunch and only trash is left behind. Duct tape barely holds together two by fours, a power saw is frozen in time, a Mountain Dew can seems to be pissing on a bowl, and a single bright light hangs in the midst of it all, illuminating the scene. The message is clear, Americans should reexamine not just our economic system but ultimately our entire value system, which seems to reward only the greedy.
