La Última Obra de la Tierra / The Last Play on Earth

2010-03-26T18:21:00.000-07:00

Tanto tiempo sin escribir en este blog... lo que no significa que no haya escrito nada. Llevo varios meses haciendo artículos para elmundo.es (Todos los enlaces a dichos artículos se encuentran en phototao.com).
Y he escrito (y también dirigido) una obra de teatro que me ha dejado impresionado. Los chicos de OAS Middle School actuaron ayer y me dejaron emocionado. Fue tan buena que no me acabo de creer que la haya escrito y dirigido yo. Ahora el plan es llevar a La Última Obra de la Tierra a un teatro grande del centro de la ciudad.
Estos últimos meses, casi no he dibujado, pero sí hice gorros de papel reciclado para la obra. Pronto pondré fotos. Y también he subido muchos dibujos nuevos a isaacart.com

I haven't written here for so long, which doesn't meant that I haven't been writing. I've doing many articles for elmundo.es (You can see links to my articles in my other blog, phototao.com).
And I've written (and directed) a play that has left me quite impressed. The kids at OAS Middle School acted it yesterday and they moved me deeply. It was so good that I cannot begin to believe that I wrote and directed it. Now the plan is to bring The Last Play on Earth to a large theater downtown.
In the meantime, I have not drawn much, but I did made the paper hats for the play. Soon I will post photos. And I have added many new drawings to isaacart.com.

If I tell everybody my stories will this keep me healthy and well?
Would it give me purpose and to this world serve a service?
Is it worth it, how can I tell?

Come join us. Several of my friends, including my best friend (me), have art there. We will have a blast.

If You See Something, Say Something

2009-06-09T15:15:00.001-07:00

This is the piece that I entered for the Art From Scrap Silent Art Auction. It´s made from a Tony Blair doll and a Logitech web cam that I found at Art from Scrap.

Untitled. Styrofoam reborn.

2009-06-09T10:51:00.000-07:00

The styrofoam peanuts had been in a box in the garage for over two years. I had tried to give them to a shipping supplies store, but they didn't take them and so they sat, gathering dust. Little did I know that they were waiting to be reborn.

This head was originally all pink. But the jaw wasn't quite right as it was too receeded. Ed Inks said that it would be impossible for that head to chew anything with that jaw. I was determine to fix the proportions, but I had ran out of pink. So I gave the head a beard. And just to make sure, teeth (also made of packing material), so that it could chew just about anything.

The giant head is a favorite among kids. I love that they enjoy it. And speaking of kids, I gave a couple of conceptual art lectures at Open Alternative School's 6-8th grade class. The kids were enthralled. The teacher said that he hadn't seen the kids so interested and focused in a long time. Thank you Ed for your help in making this possible.

Red in the Face (Self-Portrait)

2009-06-09T10:45:00.000-07:00

After months of wanting to incorporate photographs into my sculptures, I finally came to the realization that the photographs themselves would be the sculpture. This is how "Fifteen Seconds" and "Red in the Face" were born.

Fifteen Seconds is made exclusively of slides and hot glue, no support or structure. I'm sad to say that the glue melted when I transported the sculpture home, so it's in need of restoration.

Red in the Face has a cardboard structure, covered in prints of my painted face and in oil paint.

The exploration is not over yet. How will I surprise myself?

Jesusita Fire

2009-06-09T10:29:00.000-07:00

As part of my new reality of using photos for giving instead of for taking, I spent four days photographing homes behind the police lines, thus informing thousands of people of their fate of their home. Rather than trying to get the most spectacular shot of a house on fire, I documented both the burnt homes and the saved homes in a straight-forward manner. It was physically and psychically exhausting, but well worth it, given the number of people who thanked me, for they first learned that their house was safe through my photos, or because they found out that their home was burnt and they could begin the grieving process.

Fifteen Seconds (Self-Portrait)

2009-06-09T10:25:00.001-07:00

I'm happy to announce that my self-portrait sculpture, "Fifteen Seconds", made of over a thousand slides, was chosen, by the curator of the Westmont College Gallery, to be in the Atkinson Gallery at SBCC and won a Merit Award. The piece was also kindly featured in the Santa Barbara Newspress in an article by Josef Woodward.

Difference Makers Photo Project

2009-06-09T10:16:00.000-07:00

I've been busy with many projects, thus this blog has been ignored. I'm posting some updates altogether. The first is that back in March we had a successful photo exhibit and the Difference Makers Photo Project was born, as well as the PhotoDifference website. The goal is to shift the conversation from TAKING photos to GIVING through photos. Above is a photo of the show.

New work

2009-04-22T14:14:00.000-07:00

I've been working on new material... I just haven't been photographing it. One of my pieces, 15 Seconds (Self-Portrait) is at the Atkinson Gallery in Santa Barbara, and it won a merit award.

Last night I stayed up late working on a piece on styrofoam. It still needs more work. I plan to have it done by Monday.

Next I will work with a tire (or tyre, if you speak proper English).

Thanks for following.

Self-portrait in clay

2009-02-17T21:45:00.000-08:00

I've been working on this head for the last two days. It's pretty freaky to see how my spirit is coming out of this piece of dirt. Polvo eres y en polvo te convertirás. Dust to Dust, Clay to Clay.

Sculptural Photos 1

2009-02-17T21:41:00.000-08:00

I have been thinking too much about the Samy's Camera photo exhibit I have to put together for next month and not doing. I finally started making sculptural photographs. This is the first step, made from SEMA Show slides (photos of tuned cars). More to come.

Random thoughts

2009-02-12T22:12:00.000-08:00

I have started working on the exhibit About Love and Play, Sculptural Photographs, to be shown at Samy's Camera on 614 Chapala St. Santa Barbara, CA 93101.
The opening is on Friday March 6th; save the date.
I don't have any pictures to show because it's a bit early, but I plan to work on it all weekend.
My life as a car journalist is almost history, and I'm happy about it. I look forward to the new adventures that this crisis will bring me, and I'm grateful for the adventures my life as a journalist has brought me. Thank you all for riding along!

Untitled (for now)

2008-12-09T23:52:00.001-08:00

The plaster self-portrait is now home, where I will continue working on it. It needs some more "beef", or should I say sheep, on certain parts of the body. And it will receive some kind of covering; at this point I'm leaning towards gold leaf. Many people are reacting to this piece as an image of suffering. I want to celebrate it, with gold. And at the same time, bring reference to art becoming an object of luxurious adoration, very much like the golden sheep, I mean calf, adored by the Israelites. It turns out that Damien Hirst has already done a Golden Calf. That's perfect, since this piece started as a reference to Rauschenberg, Hirst and the evolution of the art market. See my previous post to learn more about these references.

One Man's Waste Is Another Man's Bluff

2008-12-09T18:48:00.000-08:00

The project was to make a self-portrait out of cardboard. Sculpture is transforming the relationship I have to junk, from being a waste to being an art project in the making. I used some of my own cardboard trash, and some I pulled out of the neighbor's recycling bins, after ringing their doorbells: "Trick or trash?"
This one is named after Blind Man's Bluff, by Louise Bourgeois.

I Want You, Jasper Johns

2008-12-09T16:25:00.001-08:00

When I did the lettuce hat, I got carried away with more paper hats. This one was my tribute to Jasper Johns.

Untitled.

2008-12-07T17:33:00.000-08:00

I thought I'd post a photograph of the chair-tree finished. At this point, it's untitled. When I showed it in class, I was surprised at how many people were afraid to sit on the chair. Some felt the it wasn't stable, others thought it would eat them up. I guess those diagonal lines to work to give a sense of motion.

In Advance of a Damien Hirst

2008-12-07T16:40:00.000-08:00

I have been working out, first holding a four-legged pose to be plastered in (twice, as the first time the plaster collapsed). I almost gave up on the project after the first try. But then Ashley was kind enough to plaster me again. I really feel for Antony Gormley and his wife, who gets to plaster him (watch a video of Gormley being plastered here). Attaching all the molds together and giving shape to this sculpture is proving pretty painful for my muscles.

I want to pay homage to the sheep that Robert Rauschenberg used in his Monogram. Originally, I was thinking about cutting the sheep, I mean myself, in half, stealing from Damien Hirst and his treatment of animals. I liked the sheep connection between Rauschenberg and Hirst, artist of pieces like Away From the Flock. Even though Damien has declared that he is not interested in working with human bodies, I wanted to put myself in the postion of the sheep, who suffered the Passion of Rauschenberg and The Wrath of God, er... Hirst. The idea was Damien was cutting me in half and Robert was holding me together thanks to the tire.
At the end, I couldn't cut my own self in half. I'll just have to wait for Damien to do it.

Below is the work in progress, with a tire that I found on the sidewalk and carried home on the handlebars of my bicycle (pretty funny to see). Since I used a found object, I had to think of Marcel Duchamp, who is present in the title, after In Advance of a Broken Arm.
I still don't know how the whole thing will end, as far as head position, location and texture/color. Would I dare to cover it in wax and bring Kiki Smith to the party? After all, she's definitely present in my work, and she has also worked with a goat in Tied to Nature. And since I brought up Kiki, I will say that I am interested in the sexual connotations of this pose and our different standards for men than women. I have been making self-portraits in a fetal position for many years. Last year I chose to do a female version. When the figure was my own, it translated as agony, but when it was a woman, the whole thing turned sexual. I hate it. Nevertheless, some of my male friends love it.

This time, I wanted to know how far I could go to make this pose agonizing but very close to sexual, blurring the lines between the two. Of course, if I (the figure) was a woman, this sculpture would definitely be about sex, and maybe even about rape. Why?

Saatchi Gallery

2008-11-12T09:29:00.001-08:00

I was just introduced to a great resource for learning about new artists, Saatchi Gallery.
I have set up my personal gallery there, which I plan to update over the weekend.

For those interested in my photography, I also have a portfolio online at PDN.

I Am Car

2008-11-08T14:17:00.001-08:00

A couple of years ago, in an ontology class, I was given the assignment of creating a collage without any preconceptions of what I was going to create. It was to come from the "fifth field". The result is above, created from pieces of paper torn out of two car magazines. The idea is that as an automotive journalist/photographer, and as a citizen of this world where we depend on cars, I AM CAR. I thought it would be nice to bring it up, now that I made the car magazine paper hat.

Cardboard Me

2008-11-08T14:12:00.000-08:00

My next assignment for 3D Design is to create a full-body self-portrait out of cardboard, glue and staples. I am looking at different possibilities. One of the options is turning this little clay self-portrait into a life-size figure... although I know that some of my family members would like me to make a happy expression of self, instead of an anguished one. So here I am, anguishing about what to create next. :)

The Magazines that Dressed Me

2008-11-08T14:07:00.000-08:00

For years I have worked for car magazines as a contributor, writing and taking photos. The editors have been generous to provide me with work, helping put a roof over my head and clothes on my body. Inspired by the "paper bag" hat assignment, I made a hat out of magazine covers from some of my clients. Bernhard, don't feel excluded, Auto Bild Allrad is on the other side of the hat.

Hat Eats Lettuce

2008-11-03T23:13:00.001-08:00

Where's the lettuce? I have to admit I am kind of anxious about the election tomorrow. It's bringing back memories of 2000. I had massive jaw surgery the Wednesday after, and the election turned out to be not much of an election. Tonight I feel as if I'm going to have surgery tomorrow. At any rate, above is the evolution of Hat Eats Lettuce, made with recycled paper bags, donated by Christy. And below is the self-portrait I made on Election Night 2000.

Top Hat

2008-10-30T18:39:00.001-07:00

The fourth assignment for 3D Design is inventing a hat and build it out of paper. The idea is to write four columns down: hat purpose, type of hat, time period, and way of working the paper. My children and I had fun matching different columns and sketching ideas. We decided to make a hat that gives you stature, mixed with a top hat and Arte Povera, while folding the paper. The results are above. The tallest one is the first one I made, The Hat That Eats Lettuce, stealing from Giovanni Anselmo's Senza Titolo, 1968. I still have to work on giving it color, but I need to find grey and green paper bags, as that's the only material allowed for the assignment.

Tree Eats Chair

2008-10-30T18:09:00.000-07:00

In honor of Robert Rauschenberg, I decided to incorporate a chair, an old chair. Below there's a picture of the tree and the chair after one day of work.

Today it took some time to figure out how to attach the branches to the chair. The result is pictured below. I will work on the chair some more tomorrow or Saturday, as I am going to Las Vegas to cover the SEMA Show on Tuesday and Wednesday and the assignment is due Thursday.

Rose bush

2008-10-21T20:45:00.001-07:00

My next sculpture project is in wood. Last spring, my friend William and I dug four rose bushes that were going to be demolished with a house, and transplanted them to my house. One of them didn't survive. She will be turned into a work of art so that she can continue to live in spirit. What am I going to do with her? I don't know yet.

Santa Maritza

2008-10-21T20:42:00.000-07:00

At the end, I made the dome less abstract that I had planned to. It's a complete appropriation of the dome at the Monastery of San Lorenzo del Escorial. The pyramid is symplified to look more like a church.

Tube of toothsoap

Here is the soap version of the tube of toothpaste. Go ahead, brush your teeth.

Yipao Colombia.

2008-10-17T11:56:00.000-07:00

Chrysler has trademarked the Jeep brand. But have they registered the name Yip or Yipao (a loaded Yip, as in Yip cargao)? That's how they're called in Colombia, where the first generation Jeep, the Willys, is engraved in the Andean culture to the point that Yipao is a unit of measure, such as a Yipao of bananas (40-45 bunches), of yucca, coffee or oranges. The Yipaos are also hired for moving (coroteo) or for public transportation.

To celebrate the love for the Yipao, Armenia started a parade 20 years ago. Almost 100 vehicles participated in this year's desfile and I was there to experience it, courtesy of Chrysler. The loaded chariots are even more impressive when you realize that they are not just for show, but part of the daily lives of the people in the coffee growing region of Quindío. Our trip included driving an old Wyllis, being part of the parade in a new Wrangler Unlimited and having conversations with multiple Willys' fans, including Yesid Quintero, who can rebuild missing body parts with a sheet of metal and a hammer.

Saint Maritza

2008-10-17T11:49:00.000-07:00

The Cathedral of Santa Maritza (formerly Chichen Itza) is well under way, as you can see in the progress photos. I can say that plaster is much harder than I thought; my right hand is very sore. I will complete construction tomorrow. I may need some ice afterwards.

Broken by the Wall 2

2008-10-17T11:00:00.000-07:00

Abel Gaztelu waits every day for her daughter Stephanie to return to Mexico after going to school in the USA. She doesn't have a Mexican passport so she has to study abroad in San Luis, Arizona, where she's an A+ student. In an attack of pride Abel gave his green card to the judge after his wife was ordered to be deported. San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora, Mexico.

Alejandra (US citizen) and Alejandro (US resident) study in Calexico, USA, and live in Mexicali, Mexico. They have to cross the border at 5 am in order to avoid long lines.
Maclovio Correa has a work visa to pick lemons in Yuma, Arizona and commutes across the border every morning.

Broken by the Wall

2008-10-17T10:29:00.000-07:00

I am back from my "dangerous" trips to the US-Mexico border, and Colombia.
The first one was a quick four-day trip with El Mundo journalist Carlos Fresneda. We met many people affected by the new closing of the border. In San Ysidro, California, there's a park where divided families can meet, kiss, cry and talk, with a fence in between, on weekends. The second wall will end the only real contact between these families. Pictured above with his son is Mario Chavez, a legal US resident who cannot go into Mexico because of limitations in his visa. And Norma Torres (pictured below with her mother and grandmother), a US resident who works two jobs in California and is not allowed to leave the country until her citizenship goes through. Soon, they won't be able to see or touch each other.
One more: the hand of Norma's dad.

Clay maquettes

2008-10-03T14:33:00.000-07:00

The first part of our third 3D Design assignment is to make five to ten clay maquettes of a small object and then carve our favorite maquette into soap. Above are three variations of a tube of toothpaste.

Verizon Plaza, wax, 2008.

2008-10-02T19:52:00.000-07:00

Ever since I read about the life and work of Mario Giacometti’s life, I have been intrigued with existentialism, and with the idea of the solitude of the human being, even when in a group. I was fascinated by the expression of such solitude in Piazza (1948-49), in which four men walk near a woman, together but alone.

I often have thought of Giacometti’s Piazza when I see people talking on their mobile phone, whether with a hands free device or holding the phone to their ear. As a photographer, I have tried to capture it first in film and later in pixels.

Our first assignment for the Sculpture I class was to create a sculpture made of multiples, for which we would make a mold out of plaster.

After running through many ideas, Giacometti came out of my subconscious. Why not combine my fascination with solitude in a crowd and my dependence to the mobile phone? I am annoyed by people who talk on their mobile phone loudly in public, or while driving. But I have too fallen victim to the phone and ignored my surroundings, not realizing that I may be bothering others.
For this piece I was inspired as well by Michelangelo Buonarroti’s David (1504). Today, David’s sling is a mobile phone. It was only appropriate to appropriate the woman figure in Giacometti’s Piazza also from the Renaissance, this time from a painting: Sandro Botticelli’s Birth of Venus (1482–1486).

I wanted the black figures to be naked, lacking any sense of personal expression, the mobile phone providing their identity. I was influenced somehow by Anthony Gromley’s Field for the British Isles (1994): 40,000 men lacking identity; I wonder what it would sound like if all those figures were speaking on a cell phone. I later discovered the full-size black naked figures of Gromley. I would like to repeat this sculpture full-size, where the viewer can walk around and interact, or try to interact, with the busy men. It would be an evolution of Magdalena Abakanowicz’s Agora sculpture (2006) of 106 headless men wondering aimlessly in Chicago.

Sixty years after Giacometti’s Piazza, it was time to revisit it. Of course, the world is more crowded now, so it wouldn’t do with just five figures. And the public spaces, like stadiums, hospitals and even museums have fallen to corporate sponsorship. So we have the Staples Center, where the Lakers play, the Mattel Children Hospital at UCLA, and the BP Grand Entrance, the plaza in front of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
It is appropriate then than the Piazza is now the Plaza, the American name (borrowed from Spanish) for their public spaces and, at times, shopping malls, as La Cumbre Plaza in Santa Barbara, or La Plaza de La Paz in Laguna Niguel, home to 45 restaurants and a Home Depot; the Square of Peace alright. So our public square is fond of corporate sponsorship, and what better sponsor than Verizon, thus Verizon Plaza.

The Verizon Plaza uses rhythmic repetition, with similar figures, cast from the same mold, plus the master figure from which rib the other figures were born, plus an original virgin/goddess-figure, the Venus, ignored by David and company. She’s not talking on the phone; she prefers texting.

Everybody is talking. Nobody’s listening. The open mouths were a happy accident waiting to happen. I had placed a piece of clay in the mold to cover an imperfection in the rear end. When I poured the wax, the clay moved to the head. As I removed the clay with a blade, the figure opened his mouth. Alas, all of them started talking at once.

Cathedral of St. Chichen Itza

2008-10-02T19:33:00.000-07:00

The second part of our third assignment for Ed Ink's 3D Design class is to create a plaster architectural sculpture, after producing five to ten maquettes, combining two or three architectural styles. The result will be some kind of abstraction. As inspiration we looked at photos of models by James T urrell and Isamu Noguchi. Ah, the power of photography!

I have always been attracted to Mayan culture. Being from Spain, and having seen mosques and temples turned into churches, I wonder what it would have been like if the Spaniards would have converted the main pyramid at Chichen Itzá, Yucatán, México, into a Cathedral.

I made two different maquette versions; I don't know yet how the final plaster model will look like. Today I built a cardboard box with the approximate shape, and poured plaster into it (after sealing the cracks with hot glue and duct tape).

When I return from my photo expeditions, I will carve the plaster. First I will travel along the US/Mexico border, where I will be working alongside Carlos Fresneda on a number of stories for El Mundo newspaper in Spain. Then I will go to Armenia and Bogotá, Colombia, for a travel story including a festival of Jeep Willys, invited by Chrysler. See this webpage.

Big Ball

2008-10-02T18:52:00.001-07:00

Our second assignment for 3D Design was to make what would be recognizable as a sphere with line and space. And it had to roll. The instructions indicated about 12" in diameter. I did it by eye, so my sphere ended up being about 14", and thus the fastest in the class race. Thus, I received a handicap and started a few feet behind everybody, and still managed to finish second.

I explored with the idea of making arches of different depth to form the sphere, all surrounding a smaller sphere inside. I like the different cross patterns. We weren't allowed to use paint, only glue and cardboard. I used the color in an air conditioner box to create some contrast. Above, you can see the ball during construction, and completed. Below is the start of the first qualifying race, when we figured out that my ball needed a handicap.

3D Design with Ed Inks

2008-10-02T18:26:00.000-07:00

I signed up for Beginning Sculpture, a class at Santa Barbara City College by artist Ed Inks. I enjoyed his teaching style so much that I decided to enroll in 3D Design as well. My friend David Cooper wanted to see my creations, thus this blog.

The first assignment was to make a shoe out of wire; line defines volume. I turned my 3D design into a painting, and I added Renaissance perspective by including a second shoe "in the distance", as it's going into the X-Ray machine at the airport. The idea is a bit abstract still, so it may require some extra work. The working title: X-Ray Shoes: Illusion of Security.
Please comment.

To David Cooper

2008-10-02T18:04:00.000-07:00

Last summer I had the pleasure of meeting David Cooper and Michelle Zapata, photo editors for Siempre Mujer and Ser Padres, respectively. We had a very nice pow wow, or portfolio review, even though it was all about me, me, me, me. Sorry Michelle and David.

After a pleasant time looking at pictures, David walked me to the elevator and I finally got out of my shell, and I asked about what he loved to do. David gave me his blog address. It turns out David is a very accomplished illustrator, and he keeps a very exciting blog about his creative process. He's inspired me to do the same.

And although my job at this time is primarily being a photographer, I will share here about all my creative smoothies, from play writing, to sculpture, painting, drawing and photography.
