Calcite canopic jar of Neskhons; painted wooden lid with a panel of incised Hieroglyphic text coloured blue. 1069 BC to 945 BC. Canopic jars were created as part of Ancient Egyptian burial rites, to contain all of the organs, so that upon entering the afterlife, the person would be complete. We might find the practice of preserving the internal organs and placing them in jars, a bit odd, but the ancient Egyptian religions were very specific about the way someone needed to be prepared so that they could enter the afterlife. Each of the Canopic jars had a specific purpose and were designed to honor the four sons of Horus. Horus was the Egyptian god of the sky and the contents of the Canopic jars would go along with the person as they passed through and entered the afterlife and protect the remains. The four jars were: The reason we may never understand the mystery of the word, the male organ that separates the female. Even at the beginning of art, when everything was in black and white, there was the mystery of the image. Once the color faded, it was followed by the disappearance of the image, and the works of art slowly vanished. here, the artist Joseph Beuys decided to look into this mystery by taking apart two of the aluminum canopic jars and measuring and reassembling them one at a time to make a series of drawings.The original drawings are also large, and the series of drawings had begun. I can understand the fascination with the canopic jars since they were regarded as a symbol of fertility. To find a more precise connection with the world of the deceased, one can note that the drawings are not the final version of the work. The three with the glasses and the cigarette are still in the canopic jar. The volume is still visible, but the remains are also shredded, and are now placed on the floor. In the third drawing, however, the shard of paper has been removed from the canopic jar and placed on a small table with the ashes of the deceased in a glass jar. The image has been redrawn, but it is a sign of a new connection to the old pottery. The drawing of a black hand and cigarette, a cigarette and shard of paper, in the canopic jar, is one of the most telling. It demonstrates that the mystery of the canopic jar is still alive. But in this mystery, it is only possible to discover a first hand sense of the passage to the underworld.We know that there is a problem with the images of the Canopic jars, but what is even more shocking is that the artist wishes to give us more answers to the mystery. For Beuys, the discovery of this secret has been a great success.

The four jars were: The boxes were: inserted into the jars as art and contents; interred in a box. The box is painted a pale green color, and the jars have a heavy odor of sweetness.The boxes are: teallies. They are made of simple paper; they are covered with cardboard and glued to the wall.The packages are: black and white ones. The packages have nothing in them, but they are a good-sized package of two parts, just like the original packages were.The packages have been left unopened to the elements; this includes two elements. In the left package there are six quarters and a card containing a telegram from New York. The telegram is in an envelope, and the three desexualized books (French and Spanish) in the right package have been left uncorrected.The packs, pages and the telegram are an amalgam of a French and Spanish English dictionary; a page is the English equivalent of the French and Spanish translations of a page in a language other than English. The pack has been left unopened, and the loose translations are in the top box. The packages have been left uncorrected.The objects are: telegram, packet, telegram, telegram, packet.

The four jars were: To pass through one-on-one with one another was to enter a shared landscape of religious or religious ceremony. arrang eidol in my imagination were more like the offerings made to the gods of a few centuries ago. establishing a ceremony of self-mortification. in which self-restraint was possible.whereas in the present the practice of keeping the internal organs in jars becomes more and more, somewhat as one would expect, an invasion of privacy.one of the more fascinating aspects of this project is that it reminds us of the relationship between our private lives and our public ones. in this way, the image of the artist-as-spark-bearer is also suggestive of an intimacy with the local community, as in a private ceremony.going public to the artist is also suggestive, as in a public performance.possibly the attraction of these images and their recurrence in the media creates a setting in which the artist/subject can also be private. the viewer sees herself as a part of the piece and has a right to an open conversation with the work.This is not the first exhibition in which art has been included in a public event. in the 1980s the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles showed the work of Mike Kelley in which it was the artist-as-spiritual guide that was at the center of the work, a demonstration that art can become a catalyst for real-life ritual. in other words, that art can be used as a vehicle of conversion. the work of Kelley also consists of an assortment of documents and photographs, including a text, a photograph of a cross and a map of the United States. the images are the same, but the message is different.Kelley has said that it is as if he were shopping for a mirror that would mirror the images he had put on display in his gallery last year.

No doubt you can appreciate the delirious excitement in the apparent illiteracy of the artist in his efforts to revive the commercial art/craft of the time. All along, it looked as if the artist was trying to do the best he could with an unusual material and it failed. He seems to have been given what he or she needed but he or she is still making the same mistakes he or she did in the previous art.

The four jars were: All The Sacred in the Garden; Plasters for Tetrahedrons; Boxes for Wings of Sages; and All the Valuable Things of My Works: The Complete Works of José de la Fontaines. This was the first comprehensive retrospective exhibition of the artist.Kelen Quisbongo, curator of the Museums at the University of Bern, and Lelia Grifredo, the architect of the installation, wanted to see what kind of research on the artist would be like. With all the artist-quotes, allusions to so much literature, and allusions to so much art history, Quisbongo and Grifredo couldnt make a convincing case for the works, or their significance. They only talked about one of the pieces—the Canopic jars—but not the artists. They were interested in the idea of trying to understand what the artist had done with the jars. Yet the jars were nothing more than the images of the artist, with the artist seeming to be a fifth column of silence.If you think the whole exhibition was a jumble of art history, a totalizing by-product of quid pro quo, you were right. The main piece, an installation, was not really about art history. I dont know how the museum took the idea of the work, but they certainly did not adopt it as a program. Their main concern was with the work, an art that the artist presents as art. The visual element is a composite of many drawings and photos, of which the whole is on display. In this part of the installation, we saw photographs of the artist, stenciled, pointed at the work, the display, the artist himself. There were also drawings, cut out and pasted into the gallery walls. They were not quite clear or legible. But the drawings have a mysterious elegance. The colors, mostly black and white, are vivid.
