...unlikely manner 3

Chen Anying : What technology do you think exerts the most impact on modern art?

Jin Jiangbo : All of them. What influences art is science and technology. Science and art share the same aim; both emphasize originality and invention. The way that artists consistently question the world resembles the way scientists constantly solve problems, and the use of new materials and tools influences the way art is exhibited and presented."
. . . . . . . . . . Yishu Magazine Mar/Apr p 66

in an unlikely manner 1

Susan Sontag On Photography (1990)
"Photography does not simply reproduce the real, it recycles it - a key procedure of a modern society. In the form of photographic images, things and events are put into new users, assigned new meanings which go beyond the distinctions between
the beautiful and the ugly,
the true and the false,
the useful and the useless,
good taste and bad."

Visualized Political Practice 2

plse see apr24, item 2. Yiwu
first, field research on industrial production results for Jin Jiangbo a body of fascinating photographs...scenes reflecting bizarre look of a massive market, loads of merchandise visible...almost no shoppers Place appears dead in dayllight... comes to life in the evening only because (evening) rental costs are lower.

Visualized Political Practice

(Headng coined by critic Yang Xiaoyan)
It is Jin Jianbo (b.1972) affected least by politics who says twice : "What appear be of regional consequence...strongly reflect inner problems long rooted in China’s economic structure" He responds to three questioners in an article The Modern Chinese Landscape... by recountng efforts to witness via art :
"1. Guangdong Province - 10,000 foreign-investd enterprises withdraw in only one yr..."
2. Yiwu - 25,000 factories produce 400,000 varieties of small commodity; 1,000 containrs lve every day; 200 destinatns."
3. Dongguan - Jin Jianbo’s own camera images of abandoned packaging workshops/ warehouses/ dormitories, etc.
... all, evidence of "fragmentation and ruination."

...had mentioned how at Move 3 when the Bishop went to b4 and, I cd consult, the White King to get out of Black Q check would go to b1 (White Bishop home sq.) I wondered what had transpired betw King and loyal subject before Move 5. A slip into philately* wd take too long to fashion. I did get one sentence though (focalizer, about eithr Bishop or King) ... one cd go backward or fwd from it :
"...a firm denial of an unmade accusation..."

alternate canvas 3

...still gleaning from maisonneuve p.59... a painter also must "challenge the norm, provoke questions in the most stable identity..?" the real question being, "How?"
... not hang on to the illusion that only comfortable art sells.
...nurture a "middle road" with alternate canvases to "look closely at institutns that control/ enable us/ describe the mechanisms of powr/ belief within our intimate relationships as well as within the public sphere."
Not to gloss over what Bechard had to say about ’repressing’...

every othr canvas 2

...mid-essay (Bechard) ",,,we are comfortable in our daily lives....continue to give insufficient attn to new sources of conflict..are under the illusion that we don’t believe in anything and that we are free. Nothing limits our questioning of our assumptions more than these beliefs."
...a sanitized culture (Bechard) "...has taught us to believe that we are different and better, that social upheaval is ephemeral and that the world will remain as it is..." for our "double lives: quiet streets beyond our windows in contrast to neatly televised images of corruption, inequity and constant, dramatized war."

alternate canvas 1

maisonneuve 1 ...the Cdn Govt, through Canada Magazine Fund, pays editorial/ productn costs; anothr Govt branch pays for mailng, and Canada Council supports this revampd quarterly’s endeavr re ’Arts, Opinion & Ideas’.

A p.57 article Learning to Rage by D.Y.Bechard who grew up francophone in rural B.C. and spks about writing, cd take in being a painter as well.
...why the separatn betw aesthetics and politics? Bechard quotes Orwell : "The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is itself a political attitude."

Hexagram 56 - Travel

WHITE BISHOP to his KING :
something to be delivered?
picked up?
...we are but a halt in others journeys
...must facilitate dispatch
one stage to the next. Staging the post, what its always meant - - postcards, letters, packages, parcels, goods, people. Picked up. Delivered.
Whn you go abroad Your Majesty do you not kp in touch w us? perhaps more permanent than ether, something physical, your own handwriting..
.... your own P.O? permanent staff? packets parcels goods people
and who comes off ships - tradrs, merchants nomads, shepherds, slaves - - in stages
one stage to the next
Who here
feels compelled to kp in touch w those left behind
provide reports
on our military, (GOING TOO FAR) natural disastrs, epidemics,
calamities
(AGAIN, CAREFUL) on ones own movemnts?
KING: (AT LAST) Whatre you getting at?
Keep abreast while on Capua of what goes on back home?

For storytelling, a prev relationship between the White King and his Bishop (b1) could be established. Also, more of the Black Queens character.
