THERE’S NOTHING THET A HUNDRED MEN ON MARS COULD EVER DO HENNING STRASSBURGER VS JOSH REAMES HS

Wrong way, wrong way! Camera 1 - Action: The TV-host is telling lies. The boy falls asleep, head in his neck. On purpose? Camera 2: maniac applause from the powerful lady. Wrong way, wrong way! I called Roland Emmerich yesterday to praise him for his first Netflix sequel of Independence day, the set up was brilliant. How did you like the stage design? Any approvals? Costumes were great I think, the fuck-you-clap outstanding.

JR

I’ll be honest, the sequel was unimpressive. I saw the original in the theater in ‘96; great year for action films. To this day Bill Pullman’s Independence day speech on the tarmac still gives me goosebumps, that was fucking presidential. The sleeping kid, the sarcastic clapping - we all connected to that, we are that.

HS

Well up to you, we seem to be a lot! What about this: I saw a guy with a straight Kim Jong Un haircut in the train last week. I wondered if this is a new thing, taking over visual trademarks of despots. Pretty funny: sports activities in the manner of Putin, haircut like Kim, orange seems fashionable as a skin tone recently...

JR

There’s something inherently fascist about that haircut. It’s everywhere. I mean, are you a dictator or the modern gentleman? Is it possible to go for a shave

and haircut without looking like Gavin McInnis? I don’t know who owns “the look.” Everything is loaded, reduced to cultural signifiers out of our control. Maybe that haircut is edgy, maybe it’s problematic. Orange, on the other hand, is more clearly problematic. Cheetos are the official color of Trump; it was funny at first but then became triggering. With painting, orange has always felt problematic, but visually, not culturally. It’s abrasive and feels unresolved, maybe that’s why I’ve been using it more often lately - forcing myself to deal with something uncomfortable. HS

Uah just let me shout: Plastic Plastic! Weren’t it the Bauhaus folks who already knew: there is no better color for plastic than orange. And now we connect it with Kim’s haircut. Strange world. Btw: Did you see the last pictures ever made by the Kepler telescope? Parts! The telescope never took pictures as a whole image, but always in parts, and the gaps became bigger the longer it was in outer space. Creepy. Because now, there is no connection between the stars for mankind, all these gaps!

JR

Plastic was great until it created a new island of trash floating around the ocean. But here we are, someone has to figure out how to deal with it. Adidas made some great shoes out of ocean plastic but does that change anything or is it capitalism riding the green wave? I’ve never considered Kim’s haircut as plastic, but it makes sense, it does seem molded and cheap, and tacky. Also very inorganic, maybe that’s why it rubs me the wrong way. The Kepler

photographs are great, it looks like good art - great composition. It seems natural for there to be gaps; it’s like perception in general, there are always gaps. The first time I ever understood Gestalt, before I had ever heard the word, was with this book I had as a child. There were two dots, one per page and you were supposed to look at one with your face 6-12 inches from the book and the other would disappear. You could see the edge of the book in your peripheral but not the dot; so there are gaps in our perception light years away but also from 6 inches. Like with the second dot, I think we can assume that the gap exists in our perception, not in reality. HS

Well, with reality it is such a thing. For example in Europe, we have an island. Once a Sea Power, now... not so important anymore. Just for the money. They still believe they are the greatest Empire, the rest is laughing. The fun thing is, next month they won’t be Europe anymore. And “we” have lost an island. Good picture right, to lose an island, with all its kings and queens, criquet and rain and tea? It will be there but gone at the same time.

JR

Everyone thinks their culture is permanent, but even the longest lasting cultures, States, kingdoms or empires have always dissolved or evolved into something else. It’s only a positive or negative occurrence depending on your relative place in it. On a macro level, cultural change or evolution is inevitable. Both England and the US are in a similar place, cultures on the decline pretending they aren’t when all evidence seems to disagree. Hooked

on a feelin’ and high on believin’. It’s out of the control of most individuals, which brings anxiety which brings poor decision making which accelerates the entropy. What can you do when you’re losing an island? Maybe tragedy and humor aren’t that different; different feelings for sure but they always seem so closely tied to each other. I suppose that’s what the comedian and the artist are for: to attempt to make some sense of it, to fill in the gaps. HS

I think you are right. And as an artist, you can fill the gaps in a bizarre way, no? Just as you said “Hooked on a feelin’,” I remembered the range between the original song, the “Ooga Chakka“ cover version and the tremendously super bad/great version of my all-time favorite David Hasselhoff! As long as this is possible in art, the world is still turning!

JR

Wow, I forgot Hasselhoff covered that song! The Blue Swede version is great, but it always felt like two different songs - perhaps because the “ooga chakka” part of the song always triggers memories of the classic dancing baby video. Hasselhoff took it somewhere else though, that music video is high art. Fantastically bad! I’m rewatching that right now and considering how the song and the video are connected to decades of cultural moments internationally, early internet memes, low budget video production turned contemporary and cool (adult swim). I think that’s the goal with art, at least personally, to create something that connects seemingly disparate elements and cultural references into something outside of itself, outside of your control. Damn. I think we had a real breakthrough here.

THERE’S NOTHING THET A HUNDRED MEN ON MARS COULD EVER DO HENNING STRASSBURGER VS JOSH REAMES HS

¡No es por aquí, no es por aquí! Cámara 1 - Acción: El presentador de televisión está diciendo mentiras. El niño se queda dormido, cabeza en el cuello. ¿Adrede? Cámara 2: aplauso maniático de la mujer poderosa. ¡No es por aquí, no es por aquí! Ayer le llamé a Roland Emmerich para elogiarlo por su primera secuela en Netflix de Independence Day, el montaje estuvo magnífico. ¿Qué opinas del diseño de escenario? ¿Algún visto bueno? El vestuario me pareció increíble, el aplauso de vete-a-la-chingada estuvo espectacular.

JR

Te seré honesto, la secuela me pareció poco mediocre. Vi la original en el cine en el 96; gran año para las películas de acción. Hasta el día de hoy el discurso de Bill Pullman en la base militar en Independence Day me sigue poniendo la piel chinita, estuvo cabronamente presidencial. El niño dormido, el aplauso sarcástico - todos nos relacionamos con eso, nosotros somos eso.

HS

Según tú, ¡nosotros parecemos ser demasiado! ¿Qué opinas de esto? Vi a un joven con un corte de cabello al estilo Kim Jong Un en el tren la semana pasada. Me pregunto si es una nueva moda, la apropiación de los distintivos visuales de los déspotas. Bastante gracioso: actividades deportivas al estilo Putin, cortes de cabello como Kim, parece que últimamente el naranja está de moda como tono de piel...

JR

Hay algo inherentemente fascista en ese corte de cabello. Está en todos lados. O sea, ¿eres un dictador o un caballero moderno? ¿Es posible ir a afeitarte y por un corte de cabello sin parecer Gavin McInnis? No sé quién es el dueño de ese “look”. Todo está cargado de implicaciones, reducido a significantes culturales fuera de nuestro control. Tal vez ese corte de cabello es vanguardista, tal vez es problemático. Por otro lado, el naranja, es claramente problemático. Los Cheetos son el color oficial de Trump; era gracioso al principio pero luego se volvió detonante. En la pintura, el naranja siempre se ha sentido problemático, visualmente, no culturalmente. Es abrasivo y se siente inconcluso, tal vez por eso lo he estado usando más últimamente forzándome a lidiar con algo incómodo.

HS

Wow déjame gritar: “¡Plástico, plástico! No fueron los amigos de la Bauhaus quienes ya sabían que no hay mejor color para el plástico que el naranja. Y ahora lo estamos ligando al corte de cabello de Kim. Qué locura de mundo. Por cierto, ¿viste las últimas imágenes del Telescopio Kepler? ¡Partes! El telescopio nunca tomó fotografías como una imagen completa, sino siempre en partes, y los espacios se volvieron más grandes entre más tiempo estaba en el espacio exterior. Espeluznante. Porque ahora, para la humanidad, no hay conexión entre las estrellas, ¡todos esos huecos!

JR

El plástico estuvo bien hasta que creó una nueva isla flotante de basura en el océano. Pero aquí seguimos, alguien tiene que encontrar qué hacer con ella. Adidas hizo unos tennis increíbles con plástico del océano pero,

Celaya Brothers Gallery is a part of ARTO group. All Rights Reserved @2019 ARTO LLC

¿eso cambia algo o es el capitalismo subiéndose a la ola verde? No había considerado plástico el corte de cabello de Kim pero tiene sentido, parece moldeado y barato, y corriente. También muy inorgánico, tal vez es por eso que me molesta. Las fotografías del Kepler son increíbles, parece buen arte - gran composición. Se ve natural que haya huecos; es como la percepción en general, siempre hay huecos. La primera vez que entendí la psicología de la Gestalt, antes de siquiera haber escuchado la palabra, fue con un libro que tuve cuando era niño. Había dos puntos, uno por página y tenías que ver un punto con la cara a 15-30 centímetros del libro y el otro punto desaparecía. Podías ver el borde del libro en la periferia pero no el punto; así es que hay huecos en nuestra percepción a años luz y también a 15 centímetros. Como el segundo punto, creo que podemos asumir que los huecos existen en nuestra percepción, no en la realidad. HS

Bueno, con la realidad es algo así. Por ejemplo, en Europa tenemos una isla. Alguna vez una potencia naval, hoy en día no tan importante. Solo por el dinero. Siguen creyendo que son el gran Imperio, los demás se ríen. Lo gracioso es que el mes que entra ya ni siquiera serán parte de Europa. Y “nosotros” habremos perdido una isla. ¿Buena imagen no, el perder una isla, con todos sus reyes y reinas, críquet y lluvia y té? Al mismo tiempo estará ahí pero se habrá ido.

JR

Todo mundo cree que su cultura es permanente, pero hasta las culturas más duraderas, estados, reinos o imperios se han disuelto o evolucionado a algo más. Es un suceso positivo o negativo dependiendo del lugar desde el que 9


Celaya Brothers Gallery is a part of ARTO group. All Rights Reserved @2019 ARTO LLC

te relaciones a él. A nivel macro, el cambio o evolución cultural es inevitable. Tanto Inglaterra como Estados Unidos están en un lugar parecido, culturas en declive, pretendiendo que no lo están cuando toda la evidencia apunta a lo contrario. Enganchados en un sentimiento o elevados por una creencia. Está fuera del control de la mayoría de los individuos, lo cual provoca ansiedad lo cual provoca una mala toma de decisiones lo cual acelera la entropía. ¿Qué puedes hacer cuando estás perdiendo una isla? Tal vez la tragedia y la comedia no son tan diferentes; diferentes sentimientos seguro pero, siempre parecen fuertemente ligados el uno al otro. Supongo que para eso están el comediante y el artista: para intentar hacer sentido, para llenar los huecos. HS

Creo que estás en lo correcto. Y como artista, puedes llenar los huecos de una manera extraña, ¿no? Como dices, “enganchado a un sentimiento”, recuerdo las variaciones entre la canción original, el cover de “Ooga Chakka“ y la versión tremendamente mala/buena de mi favorito de todos los tiempos, David Hasselhoff. Mientras esto sea posible en el arte, el mundo seguirá girando.

JR

Wow, había olvidado el cover de Hasselhoff. La versión de The Blue Swede es increíble pero siempre se sintieron como dos canciones distintas - tal vez porque la parte de “ooga chakka” siempre detona recuerdos del clásico video del bebé bailando. Pero Hasselhoff la llevó a otro nivel, ese video musical es arte elevado. ¡Maravillosamente malo! Lo estoy volviendo a ver en este momento y considero que la canción y el video están ligados a décadas de momentos culturales, los primeros memes, el video de poca producción vuelto contemporáneo y cool (adult swim). Creo que el objetivo del arte, al menos personalmente, es crear algo que conecte elementos y referencias culturales aparentemente dispares con algo fuera de sí mismo, fuera de tu control. ¡Órale! Creo que acabamos de tener un gran descubrimiento.

JOSH REAMES DALLAS, USA, 1985

Josh Reames’ paintings use contemporary tools available on the Internet to create surreal patchworks of contemporary signs and symbols that portray the flattening of artistic hierarchies in our postmodern world. Reames employs computer drawing applications and Google images to create assemblages of “modern hieroglyphs.” Josh Reames work considers abstraction and painting in relation to the internet and is informed by the strange space where a majority of viewership takes place online through blogs and websites. In his paintings, depth, dimension, and the artist’s hand are typically lost in translation from object to image, allowing the information to exist as it might appear on a digital screen. Reames’ conceptual framework functions as a kind of filtration device for cultural byproduct and its attending relativism, literally flattening disparate images and references and thereby removing their hierarchy. In this evanescence, a compendium of signs, text, and symbols (emoji, letters, text, and numbers—doubling as marks, sprayed or squeezed), objects, and cultural icons are all flattened to the same–level composition. He earned his MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago and BFA from the University of North Texas. Reames has exhibited in a number of institutions and galleries, including LVL3, Devening Projects, Andrew Rafacz, Carrie Secrist, Hyde Park Art Center, and the Union League Club, Chicago; The Hole, Muelensteen, and Monya Rowe Gallery, New York; Circuit 12 Contemporary, Dallas; Luis de Jesus, L.A.; and Dittrich & Schlechtriem, Berlin, among others. In 2012, Reames was artist–in–residence at OxBow (funded by Joan Mitchell Foundation) in Saugatuck, Michigan. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn.

JOSH REAMES DALLAS, USA, 1985

Josh Reames utiliza herramientas contemporáneas disponibles en Internet para crear amalgamas surrealistas de signos y símbolos contemporáneos que retratan el allanamiento de las jerarquías artísticas en nuestro mundo postmoderno; se sirve de aplicaciones digitales de dibujo e imágenes de Google para crear montajes de “jeroglíficos modernos”. Su trabajo considera la abstracción y la pintura en relación al Internet, y se encuentra instruido por ese extraño lugar donde la audiencia toma forma mayormente en blogs y sitios en línea. En sus pinturas, profundidad y dimensión se pierden en la traducción de objeto a imagen, permitiendo que la información exista de la misma manera como lo haría en una pantalla digital. Su marco conceptual funciona como un filtro de los productos culturales: signos planos, texto, símbolos e íconos en un mismo nivel compositivo, removiendo en consecuencia toda jerarquía. Reames obtuvo el grado de Maestría por el Instituto de Arte de Chicago y la Licenciatura por la Universidad del Norte de Texas. Su trabajo ha sido exhibido en LVL3, Devening Projects, Andrew Rafacz, Carrie Secrist, Hyde Park Art Center, y the Union League Club, Chicago; The Hole, Muelensteen, y Monya Rowe Gallery, Nueva York; Circuit 12 Contemporary, Dallas; Luis de Jesus, L.A.; y Dittrich & Schlechtriem, Berlín, entre otros. En el 2012, Reames fue artista en residencia en OxBox, fundada por la Fundación Joan Mitchell. Actualmente vive y trabaja en Brooklyn.
