Through the thematic device of impromptu Gospel preaching I attempt to call attention to the failures of the contemporary art scene, while proposing alternatives to accepted ways of thinking about art and artistic discourse. I take on the role of a preacher and attempt to engage the audience in a call and answer dialogue that heightens the sense of urgency climaxing with phrases that activate the agenda of the project. I attempt to guide the fever of the crowd into inhabiting concepts that redefine the perceptual subjectivity of the event. This redefinition being transcribed into each audience member s subjectivity, to be applied to all other arenas of critical, creative, and cultural thought. In an open field the only possible authority upon which to base action is internal.
Faith is the medium of the latent expectations that form the basis of one s subjectivity.
Environmental and sociological constraints upon the individual are altered in a way that renders the individual both a single observer and a constituent participant. To this effect I have interested myself in a state that I call Serious Irony where the individual or group by mocking a subject, coincide with the ideology of said subject. It is a method not a representation. There is a particular state of mind. I am not interested in creating an intellectual discourse.
