Spontaneous installation in Williamsburg /  by Mirena Rhee

#nyc #art just had a typical New York City interaction I saw someone taking pictures of this yard and stopped to take pictures and videos and then we started talking and then we almost simultaneously started talking about Richard Serra and his show in Chelsea that we both saw the opening of. as the sun was setting over the towers of Manhattan and the overgrown yards of Williamsburg, and us the people of New York City, walking biking strolling eating freaking frolicking eating drinking by the East River

Art must be present /  by Mirena Rhee

Art must be present not just as practice by Art professionals, and not only as multimillion projects artifacts, but also be accessible to every individual, a series of art exercises that could be done by anyone who literally $0 or very low cost and very low impact for the environment as well as carbon footprint, are to be present in the home, I always thought that in America we have huge kitchens they could be partially converted to libraries and art closets, also walls into home could be art walls where children and adults could exercise their creative potential. I always thought also about The front of homes has always been treated corporate -esque with grass treatments like in a commanded society which is only decorated on Halloween and Christmas and pertains to corporate scheduled art events. I see the front lawn a home to a community building element like for example a bench where people could sit and participate in the community, but also impromptu art installations, sculpture gardens using found objects, built just out of a creative impulse and without purchasing any additional elements only things found in the home or otherwise discardable and that could end up in a landfill.

always thought that art is where Angels play /  by Mirena Rhee

I always thought that art is where Angels play, you know how in the times of old you know these paintings and altar pieces and Fresco's, there are all these angels everywhere distributing Justice and blessing people. I think art comes from that place where the universe comes from, where good and evil battle for the life of the universe, it is the human spirit which is kind of unique and alone in the universe at least in the known universe. Surviving against All odds in this pretty hostile place of endless entropy.

Happy Easter. Torn to pieces /  by Mirena Rhee

#art #installation #gianthands
Wind tore them to pieces in some sort of a biblical set - there were fingers and palms all over the place and people were bringing me pieces of hands from all sides.

Don’t ask me where I am from - I am from the Big Bang /  by Mirena Rhee

My sense of self has been gradually evolving as I read books, grow up, work, study and think. I've been following the axiom space launch and docking with the space station and simultaneously working on my latest installment of my sense of self.

My latest sense of self is aligned with what science thinks is the chemical composition of the human body, alongside the latest periodic table of the elements which describes how each element is born.

Don’t ask me where I am from - I am from the Big Bang

My latest sense of self is mostly space:

65 percent oxygen - forged in dying high mass stars

18 percent carbon - made in dying low mass star

10 hydrogen - from the big bang

3 nitrogen forged in dying low mass stars

4 other stuff also cooked in space

“it's sad that most people are consumers of technology and not creators” /  by Mirena Rhee

CEO John Riccitiello said in an interview that he believes this to be a side-effect of Unity's success in democratizing game development: "If I had my way, I'd like to see 50 million people using Unity – although I don't think we're going to get there any time soon. I'd like to see high school and college kids using it, people outside the core industry. I think it's sad that most people are consumers of technology and not creators. The world's a better place when people know how to create, not just consume, and that's what we're trying to promote."

My Boarding Pass to the Moon onboard Artemis /  by Mirena Rhee

Enough Earth already! :) just kidding. Been reading /watching/skipping on reading and instead plot summary reading on Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke. It is depressing. We are all gonna die, ok. We are already part of the Overmind, we just hind behind couches from it.

Onward to Space and don’t fear! We been space already for 13.8 billion years just can’t remember it.

Why isn't Putin taking up painting instead of killing /  by Mirena Rhee

I get it, an aging dictator realizing they are less and less significant in the world and just nobody cares and they could be deposed or dismissed at a moment's notice. History is just like that.

Well he's killing for the same reason that kids in high school kill their classmates and kids in neighborhoods kill their neighbors - instant significance.

When you attempt instant significance via a weapon you become master of the world in an instant without any toil without learning without creating anything. Destruction is much easier than creation - it's the laws of thermodynamics. In creating you have to toil you have to bust your butt you have to try really hard and then you get two people to like it. With a weapon you're the master of someone's world without doing anything other than holding a weapon.

How do I fix this I don't know maybe art education for one, so people have an outlet and a vision for creative life.

This is what I want to do with my life I want to show people the creative life the big bang side of the universe where things get made out of nothing and just because it’s awesome.

It has been quite a March where I had to face a lot of existential pressing matters /  by Mirena Rhee

There was the war in Ukraine where I saw little kids sprawled on the concrete and I was wondering what right do I have to write to my senators and representatives in Congress to send American kids to die defending other dying people, and then I read bunch of books on particle physics and then Tibetan stuff and also tried meditation which absolutely I cannot possibly do I'm just too fidgety. I'm glad it's April.

I know we also kill a lot of people around the world with impunity but the difference is that I can protest it and argue against it, and live.

On this beautiful spring day in New York City I saw the most fun beautiful art show I've seen in years - Keith Tyson. Drawings & Paintings at Hauser & Wirth gallery /  by Mirena Rhee

Awesome times when I look at paintings I try to see the sincerity of the work and if the work is pushing a narrative it pushes me away. People often try to make a body of work rather than a sincere outpouring.

It has to move me.

Hands down the most incredible fun beautiful and thinking show I've seen ever since I saw Salvador Dali house and museum.

t's painting and thinking and feeling and painting again and thinking again and just not holding back I guess.

I said that the mind of the artist is really beautiful and then the paintings are really beautiful mostly because of it.

100 paintings and this was my favorite, Note that it was painted in 2020 literally the picking apart of the world.

Simple but true

I wonder the same things I just never thought they were worth painting or drawing and here comes the artist that can.

Spontaneous installation in the streets of Chelsea in Manhattan /  by Mirena Rhee

On this absolutely gorgeous beautiful spring day in New York City I asked the question what is the difference between garbage on the street and the art in a gallery in the next block.

One word

Intent

Intent is important for the law and for art too

The next statement I make is not scientifically sound but I feel it in my gut

It's just not beautiful
