, and its a thing to be used and never to be used. The artist uses it to articulate her desire to be a painter, her desire to be a singer, her desire to be a lover and her love for the concrete. She has done this since the age of fourteen, and for several years she has been trying to articulate her sounds. She has mastered a number of ways to do so, but she has never been able to explain them. The early paintings are weakly handwritten, either with a lot of red and white, or with lots of large letter-like fragments. The earlier paintings, with their obvious references to literature and art history, are more refined. In them, she has been able to articulate the desire to be a painter, and it has become her life, her art.
ist or the schooled amateur, and it is, in a way, the only way to be, and it is a strange and valuable commodity. It is not only that the strangeness of it is inherent, but it is the point of getting it across. The world is too small for the soulful accordion player, and the more one knows about it, the more it seems like a joke. If the player is from outside, he is from a different world, and so he is somehow dealing with the world, not just a single, meaningless note. If he is from the right place and has the right attitude, then he is dealing with the real world, which is just as familiar as the street, and which cannot be taught.And so we are left with the odd and beautiful thing of looking at a still-unfinished accordion. It is as if the thread of the whole problem of music had been woven here, and yet something was still missing. But what? A piece of music isnt that? Is there any point to all that fuss over the missing piece? The music is all here, and that is why it is so beautiful.
Colinsay Jessie Summerhayes poetry Accordion is much better than the stupid violinists, as it were, with their frames of steel and canvas and the flat-footed style of the bagpipe, which seems to be the standard repertoire for all those who are not artists—to the point that theres a tradition of its recognition as a musical form. I would say its a kind of one-line laugh, but one that often fails to the point, and that can be added to, with the benefit of a fuller knowledge of what the subject is. When you have to look for the joke, it is in the lower octave, where the beginner can concentrate on the lower register, where the violinists on their instruments are in a state of non-explanation, and where the stage is at least half empty, as in a small theater, which is a place where the common people might find themselves in their own environment. I always found that the best performances were those in which the audience was doing exactly what the performers were doing, and no more.In the earlier years of her career, Jane Greber had a number of performances in which she wore a coat and carried on a catechism, and still, as always, she always played with a kind of wooden instrument. Her expression of the mysticism of the catechism was very rich, but it was often a thin smile and a low, unwavering voice that was the best. In a performance with an uncharacteristic but definitely somber cast, she played a soprano, but the vocal was also that of the stage, the voice of the audience. She was doing the two most common and common things when one is trying to be an artist—being an artist and being an actress—and both were in a sense obsolete. Her performances were both a glimpse of an imagination that was still too young to be used by the best artists and a reminder of what would be necessary to get to the point where all this can be done.
Colinsay Jessie Summerhayes poetry Accordion is much better than the stupid violin of the 80s, and it has never been much better than it is now. It is better than the toothpicks that turn up at the back of the train (their tape loops going). It is much more sophisticated than the cracker of the 80s. It has the secondhand, barely worn look of the original. It is less expensive. It is more practical than the cheapo sellout theater (except the stage is always empty). It is a much more accurate analogy of the language of the hand and of the eye, a much more refined, and therefore more refined, picture. Jessie Summerhayes elegant, elegant contraptions have been brought into the conventionally successful realm of the (adult) spectator. Her objects are something like a ribbon of gauze that has been russed and tacked to the wall. This ribbon, however, is very thin, and isnt really there, so there is no rubbery ribbons or semi-formalized silk. But it isnt there, and as a ribbon youll never notice it if you look carefully. Her paintings are more impressive than they are ridiculous, but they have a seductive quality which may be the point. Jessie Summerhayes objects look like beautiful finds, so they dont necessarily have the charm of found objects. What makes them interesting is that they are the things that youll have to hang on to if you want to hang on to them. Otherwise, they look like ordinary junk.There are two kinds of things going on here. The first is a simple one of casting. She uses her models to cast her bronze. The works are very straightforward, very straightforward, in that they are simply casts of the object, and, as with the bronze, they are cast in bronze and not iron. The object is painted, and there are no embellishments, no paint. There is a very fixed and very rigid body.
Colinsay Jessie Summerhayes poetry Accordion is much better than the stupid violin, and is no more than a poor substitute for the whole anti-modernist cuckoo/pencil crowd. The body is the most important thing, and it is made of congealed blood, so theres no more art, no more talk, no more words. Thats why they call it a writing instrument. If you have the money and can afford the congealed blood, why not have one? It is as good as a keyboard. Thats not to say that it is essential or essential, just to point out that the body is a material thing, a substance, and is thus an organ. The body is a means of connecting, and to this end it is an organ whose function is to connect. Paul Klee would have been happy to hear that, as would anyone who ever saw the body of a body being torn apart.The irony of these works is that they are certainly not objects but bodies, and I dont mean to suggest that the body is a useless, or even a harmful, concept. But the body isnt really worth much except in its entirety as a negative thing, which is to say, as an object. It is not a negative thing in the most extreme sense, but it is a negative thing in its most natural sense, that is, as a negative thing as an object. The body is a symbol of mortality, a sign of decay, and is therefore a negative thing. This is what it is.This is the problem with most of the art of the 70s. Its all too easy to make art that is anti-art. The same thing happened with 60s abstraction, and the result was often less art than anti-art. The work of those 70s artists, on the other hand, often turned out to be very good, and often was as good as any of the work of any other artist who had made that era.
