EGG the Arts Show; 221; "Scrambled Eggs, Volume 1"

Eg you have to get people to sing sing for you. Change the laws. Through the music let's say we don't want to go down. The field in the here and now hours because each state is but one that went. From the time I was born I was subjected to what you sell to sell clothes out tonight on the desk of a major funding for egg has been provided by the Pew Charitable Trusts investing in ideas.

It was like this idea of a combination of science and I. Have always felt. That. I could kind of do the most scientific approach every now and again and science can do the input of the more crates of the cells of the not up. This is either to imagine. The AS. And Demi has to know. How to get summer months at the traditional. Lady A little bit

twisted. Damien Hirst's has been described by a London critic is the hooligan genius of British art. And I think that's a pretty good description because there is something rough and punk Nations about him. And at the same time the side quality of genius. Hurts right away had a gift for doing disturbing and irritating thing bites a great tiger shark preserved in formaldehyde a very affecting lamb in formaldehyde. A couple of cows sliced and distributed among a set of tanks.

Nothing quite like that had been seen. Animal rights people were fairly upset about it. It raised the moral question I mean is that what we should be doing the animal. Look if the tree is things that trigger things off. I mean you know you kind of want to draw people in that maybe post some of the same sign. I mean you have to get people listening to me so I can change the minds. I think Hearst is one of the few artists working today who aspires to be doing something we expect primarily from science. The show just is called theories models methods approaches assumptions results and findings. Through the. History of time there's been all kinds of I choose to death to nothing today

who doesn't sweep under the carpet. I think I think you have to face up to the death on some level. You know like the blood with the pillowcase the Voyagers saw you know we were kind of separated from death by all these pillows. It's amazes me that these pill companies use you know artistic techniques that you know the set you know the visually beautiful. But. You know. Is a kind of losing battle and you know you're going to die anyway. Damien Hirst's genius really lives in the things that nobody ever quite thought of. So. There's Adam and Eve stretched out

as cadavers gurneys. A gynecologist's office filled with fish and water. For anatomy they sat 20 feet high turning into something like the Statue of Liberty the Statue of hell. There's a quality of entertainment. And it's vaudeville. It's burlesque. It's full of jokes. It's the kind of thing that inevitably is going to create a stir. Or Damien Hirst is definitely a celebrity an angler. He's like Madonna someone about sort. Of like. The price of my work. Kind of stupid they

high and. Have kind of on one level feel like haven't started yet. Just like you know where well go. You know people need to be put in the cups or something other. But it's not one make them see the sun. You can schmooze as many museum curators as you like but. Soon as that does it with the works journal then it's not going to be around you know. So I think you have to concentrate on the. Good.

Many people are surprise when they come over let's say I sat in no such a place exists. It's a beautiful. Way of taking good care of it for 200 years. Where are the Gullah Geechee Island based community. Many people do not realize that. Was what I.

Hear. All of the base got to get to is gone. The community is threatened and we need help to survive. OK. Really. Neat. What. Other communities in the area have been systematically destroyed to culture have been wiped out in many ways they have been developed practically out of existence. We now are realizing that we have a uniqueness that should be preserved and should be kept as a part of our culture. The festival is trying to focus the attention of the public

on there. It's the best way to approach them. Hopefully people would think that what they are saying is worse. These islands were originally plantation communities. We were descended so the racial slayings there were basically 10 years of the slave plantation itself. I remember my great grandmother she would walk some song and she would be reminiscing about those songs were you need to have all the slaves on

this plantation only John could read. Finally good news here was a letter telling them that they were free. This is the way it went. Read them John. Oh on Raul. Yeah. Oh OK. You pick on them. I'm told to be on my lawn. But you become a member of the mold. Coming down to the polls. When slavery was abolished they gave the lands to the blacks. And.

The slave owners went back where they came from. All of this land up and down the coast was always about black people. If we lose it we don't have anything. Down by the riverside. Way going to wonder. Still the way genes. Swing Low Sweet Chariot. All of those were created now insane antics down on the plantation. Eat. Yet he. Was. The lead through the music we are the same. This is we don't want to down. Why don't you find. Us.

Thank you. We want to keep the culture on line. We want the future generations to understand where they come from. And. How creative and intelligent our ancestors were. Were a big part of world history. Was the war fought. Because we were here and we're isolated and this isolated should have helped us to maintain men about the same customs and. And we're living history. It's worth preserving. The world.

And I have a better appreciation of why we came. Here. My name is William Clinton my for more autonomy so I've been doing crap art for 35 years. I like all kinds of art but crap art is different and all your seeds gave you ideas on what to make and and it's fun. This is my room I call the loft where I do all my crop art

and I make a lot of celebrities or Barbra Streisand that's one of my favorites and Willie Nelson. It was fun to do release here. Yet his long braids. I'll show you when I see the room or keep all my seeds when I call up the greenery and sky and jars of different kinds a season there must be several thousand in there this is one of my favorite ones is a head of Christ and it was fun to do the hair because you use a wild rice seal supply in bloom grass the beard in the hair took me nine hours because each seed is put on one by one entering in the fair. It just gets in your blood you can't quit. But there are so many other other set are really good and they're coming up there. Every year we get together in my house to take a peek at what people don't work for the state fair.

Why would you get. Yours. I see the people I do CROSSFIRE with those kind of being the next generation of pop artists. We've taken the subject matter to new heights. This is called the Knights and it's it's a representation of Van Gogh's Starry Night. I do a pick every year. I started with the peg and I decide I'm going to be a fact that I am continuing to do pigs but this is a first grain elevator for General Mills. This is the only one I've used cream of wheat on. It's my favorite elevator so I really thought it deserved to be portrayed and see it's part of my mind it was pop art. This is a local rock n roll and I said well great guitar. The Minnesota State Fair is really a big part of Minnesota being a part of the state

fair is is really a fun part of being in Crawford. Proper competition was started about 1965. Anyone can enter. Oh try to be very artistic of portraiture and things like that. Others use geometric designs. They come up with some wonderful ideas. How many see entries everything here. 6. This year we're going to insure again this way. But to New York they're placing it after that famous picture. You know the. Road Kill Bill. That's a lot of action in that picture. He's really really frank and you can really tell that you know I do like them talking like they're sitting there when it's very professional. A lot of color contrast between light and dark. Fine lines and. High silver.

That's pretty good. And it's a nice selection of a natural color you know and so I think that that one deserves to be first. I am very happy to interview him. My man turned out very very. Weak. I think everyone come for the pure fun of it in in the wonder. Seeing what can be done with things that you see every day. Coming from somebody in

the My name is Al domain QC I live on the first floor of a two family home on the upper floor is the voted to the Enrico Caruso museum was found the lone field on the other end was Rico Caruso was the greatest tenor of the past century. My love for Kosovo came about very early in my life because my father had all of the Caruso records and played them constantly. So from the time I was born I I was subjected to Caruso Caruso Caruso. Yeah. The fellow who or I used to sit and watch my father hear Caruso singing an aria all of a sudden he would start crying. Uh huh.

You know and I sing like God what the heck is in that song that made my father cry. One of the two so had that charisma and that's what really caught me the after listening to him for so many years. The more I felt the need to have a little bit more of Caruso's secures and records and things of that nature and until it became almost an obsession. You know after 35 years you know it grew to something bigger and bigger and bigger and before you know it. We decided to open up as a museum. This is the death mask of Caruso. This that mask that was taken of Caruso the day after he died him. We have a recall Caruso's dress shoes. It was quite a dresser and this is his actual cigarette pack to sell must of taken out at least 15 of the cigarettes because there's one left. The cigarette holder of course. There

are pictures of him smoking with this particular tortoise shell holder. So that gives me a big thrill. Here we have the fork and spoon that has a weight with at the Knickerbocker hotel when he lived there. You know it's a wonderful feeling to know that Caruso also had this in his hands you know. And here they are their fork and spawn. Yes. I feel that Caruso did so much for all of us. His voice was so magnificent so beautiful. And so I feel that he should not be forgotten. If I can bring across to people this man's love for music I would consider myself very honored. Was. It.

It isn't a. Side show song. The artists. Will tips on how to make art. And you know when you're speaking out on the issues facing us today. And now a one minute egg.

Coming soon on a one is a pillow.

There were any chamber finds a way it might prove this is a way of celebrating support for art and beauty. I prefer to propose a lion life to see women. I'm trying to reach through the very. Best value to get my ideas from magazines and also visitors at the fair will show me what they want. And this meant for my son to do. I've had a lot of the older people don't know who Buster Keaton is but I've had several hold of people that wanted a portrait of him and Rosie O'Donnell over there. Franklin Roosevelt too. He was popular for that I made major funding for egg has been provided by the Pew Charitable Trusts investing in ideas.
