Through my paintings, I speak out with my soul. While I am painting, I feel as free I possibly can feel. Things that I make in mixed media are often playful. They also show my curiosity about the world around me. Perfection is nothingness. Then I go on to just try and look within myself and enjoy discovering new ways to express my life as art. I want to look around and see what is in the world for as long as I live. And I have always been interested in the human spirit.  So in order to understand the human’s personality, way of thinking, concepts of fellowship, etc., I read one of book about pattern recognition. I was very impressed by that theory, therefore I am going to try to discover myself and other people while I create artwork as a method of pattern recognition. As I speak about my art, I don’t want to focus on one section because my life is unusual. What I want to say is that l live in the art now, and in the past, and in the future.

A special solo performance by cellist Julia Kent in connection with Giuseppe Stampone’s installation at The Invisible Dog

After years of playing cello with a myriad of artists and ensembles, from Antony and the Johnsons to Rasputina, Julia Kent holed up in her Lower East Side apartment to make a solo record inspired by touring and the disjunctions of travel. Incorporating multitracked cello, omnichord, and field recordings from airports around the world, her “lovely, melancholy,” compositions, full of “aching romanticism … rich melodicism, and detailed arrangements,” make up Delay, her solo debut, released by Shayo Records in Europe and Important Records in North America.

Manifesto. 009

What? My work?
My work about you
and about me.

About anarchists,
fortune-tellers,
fleeing kings
blasphemers
and mutineers.

Also about fire starters,
and threatened witches.
And luminaries
and other artists. Thieves,
(those poets), biologists
and sexologists.

First-grade teachers married with journalists
and the priests that became atheists.

Poets and wall painters, but
not as much as it is about
tall dwarves,
black cats,
color visionaries
and survivors from shipwrecks.

People with odd limps,
dust in road humps,
Light-bulbs changers,
professional vagabonds,
perfect stammers,
and spontaneous mutes.

It is about looking and seeing and seeing and looking (for).
It is about being secretly,
secretly happy.

Giles Lyon

Giles Lyon’s comic book abstractions are simultaneously microscopic and macrocosmic. Mixing automatist spills, domestic detritus, and carefully outlined biomorphs, Lyon creates funhouse explosions that reference pop culture and art history as well as biological cycles and intergalactic nebula. Scientific exploration mixed with Kandinsky, Pollock, Guston, Zap Comix and Japanimation are insightfully reconciled to create new relationships between gesture, image, illusion and abstraction.
