a look into 4.23

4.23 hap­pened this past week­end –

an ex­per­i­men­tal FLOMM af­fair cre­at­ed by my fluck­ing flom­mist pro­fes­sor, Steve Mehal­lo. A grass­roots event to get artists to­geth­er to hang out, cre­ate art, lis­ten to mu­sic, per­form and make.

There were work­shops, print­ing, paint­ing and pas­sion­ate peo­ple tak­ing the ini­tia­tive to do things they’ve nev­er done be­fore. Food was art. There was ex­per­i­men­tal me­dia and make­up.

It was all about do­ing some­thing new. Some things worked, some things did­n’t. But it was an un­usu­al ex­pe­ri­ence in­spired by the art sa­lons of DADA and the orig­i­nal utopi­an ideals of the Russ­ian Avant Garde.

I was hon­est­ly hes­i­tant on tak­ing pic­tures but some­thing in­side said,

fuck it, take some damn pic­tures, you’ll re­gret it if you don’t.

(I found out lat­er that one of the things that did­n’t work was the video­g­ra­ph­er who was go­ing to shoot the event – for some rea­son – did­n’t shoot the event.)

It takes peo­ple like this to cre­ate art – to cre­ate an art move­ment. Peo­ple with pas­sion whose hearts are in mak­ing things hap­pen.
