Quest of art... Dear Art lovers,
The world is stretching boundaries... In the twitter world we can easily connect from here to Timbuktu. From Holland to America. In every country people look in a different way to art. In a way Art is so subjective. So you could say borders are an issue in every country, in every individual. Borders and boundaries play an important role in the arts. Between art disciplines, like graphic design and fine art. Artists tend to cross borders. Physically by traveling, but also by stressing taboos. In a globalizing world taboos are no longer just local issues. Artists also help us to move forward, crossing previous boundaries. And by what criteria is art determined?
Can we live without borders and boundaries? In a way, certain boundaries give me the itch. I guess all artists can relate to that. But what if there where no borders or boundaries? I think that would be boring too. Is it true that art lovers in general love to peek behind the borders? Just stretch te boundaries a bit, to see what’s beyond.
Points of view Twitartmagazine quote: “Thwart the common things in life, create to innovate.” In this issue different artists gave their opinion on borders. It’s their point of view. That’s what makes it so interesting. We can learn from each other. What is shocking for one, can be common to another. You crossed this line, by reading this. Please investigate how your borders relate to those of our authors. Best regards, M.C.

Of artists and entrepreneurs: it’s all about borders @tdaonp Our lives are filled with limits. Take a short ride in a car and see what I mean. The side of the road is filled with signs and signals telling us what is not allowed. Or if something is allowed, when or under what condition. Every second of the day we are guided by limits. These boundaries around our behaviour are either laid down by law or by social customs. Adhere or become an outcast.
a king’s fool can be seen as the proto-stand-up comedian. And as such a king’s fool - and a stand-up comedian - are true artists. They kick at limits, push borders and even as we laugh a seed for serious thought has been sown.
Artists are a different breed than most people. They have to be. In my previous article in #tARTm issue 2, I wrote about the total abandonment with which a true artist has to live his or her art. That makes us different people by definition. By being different we often clash with accepted social rules. This reflects in our work: we use it to kick at limits and we use our art to bulldoze perceived fences out of the way.
The very term artist is bound by limits. Me including literature and stand-up comedians in the arts will be viewed upon as suspicious by the serious art collector who frequents the famous galleries and art dealers. Yet, I define art as the free expression of ideas through a visual or aural medium and this makes almost every border skirmish between the land of established ideas and the territory of the unconventional art. Sometimes people rail against the cutting back on art subsidies. Art will die, is one of the fears. No it will not. Art cannot die. Artists may die but new ones will rise and art itself will remain alive and kicking as long as borders are imposed. As long as the free forming of ideas is restricted either by social canon or actual law, art will live on. In every population there will be a small number of people who will not bear the yoke of convention. These people will have to find a way to express their differing views and this will make them artists by my definition.
There is nothing new in this. Artists have historically been the ones to both identify and question society’s rules. The free expression of ideas is boring when those ideas are expressed by everyone. It only becomes interesting when an idea is new and unexpected. Even better when at first unaccepted. Many a piece of art - and I include writing in the arts - has challenged prevailing ideas and proposed new ones. The medieval king’s fool was allowed to voice contrary views under the auspices of the king’s sense of humour. As such,

A long time ago I wrote an article on my blog (http://www.noisepollution.nl) about entrepreneurs. I wrote about the striking resemblance between artists and those that think of out of the box ideas that make them a lot of money. I came to a daring conclusion: entrepreneurs are a breed of artist. They have to sacrifice all for an idea. They have to push the limits to make it work. They have to shape the unknown and transform a blank canvas into something everyone wants. They have to learn basic skills and push themselves to leave those skills behind and walk on the thin ice of self-invention. A successful entrepreneur like Steve Jobs or Richard Branson is as much an artist as Picasso or Mozart. Ideas like that do not make you many friends. But I am not looking for friends. I am looking for ideas and breathing life into them through my writing. Those ideas can not be bound by limits, least of all limits put into place by fellow artists. They of all people should know that borders are there to be crossed. Borders serve no other purpose.

Westeritis @remondejong
Ordinary, stupid, sick, happy, broken, laughing, crying, confused people
Westeritis 14 40x160cm Mixed media on canvas Man is central to the series of new paintings and installations by artist Remon de Jong (1977). The portraits have become a body without sex or head and with only one hand. The shape symbolizes the modern Western man. Remon shows man in relation to the environment. Sometimes he even is the environment. This leads him to paint on the canvas in the usual and unusual ways - through the use of spray cans,
paint with brushes and palette knives and scratches with squeegees. His style of painting requires building layer on layer to obtain a turbulent surface texture as complicated as life itself. info@remondejong.com cellphone; +31621411823 http:// www.remondejong.com

Fruitless Borders @JessKristie
There was a moat around my feet. Twenty foot wide and twenty foot deep. Mystery swam in the depths, guarding the figure that stood in between. I stumbled through time and timeless indecision. Making stone out of those I would meet. I faltered on bondage and fell upon my past. Daggers held fast to the skin on my back. Walls were built from end to end. Keeping you out and keeping me in. It was my way to secure and control my fate. But I learned quickly of the damage placed. Starved within my own design. Haunted by division. and ruled by -fear induced lines. I was no longer the queen of my land. I was lost in the labyrinth, with map in hand. Trapped in a world, with no borders to cross. At no greater loss did I push you away. And at no greater cost my back did break. The only lesson I learned, I learned too late. Jessica Kristie

Miscellaneous Just another ordinary day for this old man. After a life full of hard work he can rest his old bones. Maybe he never left his city to see other countries. Just happy with his life in this small town in France.
A resin sculpture is a statue or other piece of three-dimensional art that has been cast using fiberglass resin. Resin is a fairly lightweight, durable material that can be painted and glazed to look like stone, porcelain, bronze or marble.
We all want go to foreign countries. As we travel our point of view changes. Twitartmagazine is amazed about all the contacts we make in the art world, worldwide. When we share art from our own country, we have the opportunity to show the world a different kind of view. Next issue will be about pain, how do you visualise pain? We ask you readers to sent us some pictures, we will make a collage.
It is used to manufacture a wide variety of products. For art, resin’s relative cheapness compared to other materials makes it desirable when the artist wants to make multiple copies of a sculpture. Resin also has become a popular material in creating small statues, jewelry, figurines and various collectibles. The resin itself is a mixture of materials, including urethane, silicone, epoxy and polyester. Resin sculptures are hardy but not indestructible. Cold, freezing conditions can cause resin to crack because the material contracts, then it expands when the temperature rises. Any resin sculpture kept outside should be brought indoors during cold weather.
Seekproject Facebook Page
The process of making a resin sculpture begins when the sculptor creates an original model in clay, wax or other material. A mold is made from the sculpture by covering the model with liquid molding material. Popular molding materials include silicone, rubber and plaster. The sculpture might need to be coated with a separating agent such as petroleum jelly to ensure that the mold can be removed fairly easily. Silicone is a highly desirable molding material because it requires no separating agent.

Boundless exhibiting @MonicaHulsing In recent years, the Internet has gone through a tremendous change which was of influence on the art world as well. I used this transformation gratefully in my work as an artist. Years ago, when I started to publish my paintings on an Internet gallery, I quickly realized that I was able to reach out to a very large art-loving public by exhibiting my work this way. And it proved to be the right choice. Where my paintings were first treated with contempt because I did not show them in Dutch galleries, they are now being praised by a huge international audience. From all over the world, the visitors enter my on-line exhibition. That is something I could not have dreamed of or even have imagined when I would have exhibited my works of art in the small Dutch galleries only. Not that I despise the art world in the Netherlands, on the contrary. Internationally Dutch art has a high reputation. But the Internet has changed the art world as well as the artists. On-line there are no borders and ballot committees no longer affect the quality of art. The audience decides nowadays what is art and what is not. They visit an on-line gallery at any time of the day, without opening or closing times. Whether it is in New York or Prague, they admire and buy whatever they want from behind their laptops. You see, I have chosen at the very first chance of exposing art this way to go along with it. My work is exhibited in an international gallery before a huge audience. They can come and go through the same door at any time of the day to enjoy my paintings, even when I am asleep and that’s what I really like! http://www.monicahulsing.exto.org http://www.monicahulsing.com

Scream as gift to New York @laurienrenckens
Recently artist Laurien Renckens searched the internet for pictures for a serie of portraits when she ran into a very strong picture. She painted it in her own way and put it on twitter. After a few days, she discovered that this picture became a “iconic cry “ over the world, “stolen” from the Internet by many people without the author ever getting a penny for it. Renckens found a video on YouTube where the photographer Noam Galai talks about his “stolen scream”. Renckens is fascinated by the story. “Why is it that so many people around the world precisely copy this “scream’”, is there a universal feeling that we should scream more?
26 • Twitartmagazine 2011
She twitters the New York-based photographer that she, as a symbol for all the ‘stolen screams’, will give him back her own interpretation of the work as a gift and sends the artwork by post to NY. Of this action she makesa movie and puts that on YouTube also. Within two days she has more than 2000 hits. The photographer, Noam Galai, twittered that he finds the donation “awesome” and asks Renckens to work on a book in which he shows all ‘stolen screams’ over the world and want to collect the proceeds for a charity to support. Film Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5lEMIf7_FM “stolen Scream” by Noam Galai is now 86769 views.

No man’s land @AliceAlliSee
Boundaries are limits, wich are undesirable. Or not? Who sets the limits? You? Me? The community? What limits? Limits for protection? The standard of acceptance? From whom? Every day is limited by uncontrollable items such as time. Every hour and every minute limit in a natural way us as human beings. Do I acquiesce in the knowledge that time, the moment, cannot be decided by me or should I try to force the moment suprême? Borders are not easy and not always immutable as in my example time. We are working with various limitations. As human beings, aswell as artists, and in my case as a photographer. Limits of possibilities, boundaries, being mostly annoying and oppressive as to be perceived. But are they really limits? It is more than art to search for the limit in, not to push, but reach a different boundary. The area no man's land between boundaries, is too often beaten and experienced as a stopping-off area. While this piece of the finest art can occur, in the sometimes desolate area, the difficult country, land of budding creativity. Because as a pilgrim you can cross this country, art and thinking as well as visualizing an image, can take an enormously step ahead.
Photography has such territories As a photographer you are dependent on a few factors, shutter speed, aperture and ISO. These three belong in a certain ratio, to help the picture succeed. That is the lesson from the books. Otherwise, the picture fails. Too light, too dark, too much exercise and so on. Sofar this lesson... Many photographers have the power to deviate from the norm discovered. Precisely this way of photographing will give them a stronger image. A limitation where I was confronted with, I wanted a beautiful portrait, using make up was not an option. In this case it was my self-portrait. Limited through my inflamed eye, and a self-portrait is hard enough .... Why should I make it myself so difficult? The questions I ‘d like to ask you are:
What do you want to challenge? Do you just want to do something when the limitations ar all laid out for you? Do you dare to cross a border and dare to take steps in no man's land? I wish you boundless creativity in no man's land! Alice Sies http://www.AliceSies.nl

River @tokenminds
Borders, Hammersmith Bridge. Borders come in many different forms and the form that I chose to explore the ‘border’ theme with was the physical barrier of a river. Not any river. The river Thames, one of the most famous rivers in the world. Hammersmith and Barnes lie separated by this large tidal border which offers more than just a geographical split to the two boroughs. Crime on the Hammersmith north side is markedly higher than that on the Barnes south side. The new police website for the UK shows that the river really does act as a crime border in this location. To make the painting I was staying on the Barnes side with my brother and crossed via the Hammersmith Bridge to a pub on the other side. As the sun was slipping away allowing a gorgeous blue twilight to occupy the sky. A reasonably high wall along the length of the walkway that runs parallel to the river further strengthens the idea that the watery world of this dark, flowing border is vastly different than that of our brightly lit habitation. As night took hold that difference was further emphasised with the river taking on a powerful draw. The tide was receding exposing the sandy river banks which further adds to the wondrousness of the Thames. Far off lights reflected softly off the sands but hard on the water. I sat down in a beer garden with a pint of London Pride and began to make watercolour sketches of the people wandering about. I also sketched the river and the illuminated bridge which hung, hugely, in the background, dominating the scene. I tried to get a feel for the idea of our human space and the river’s dark pull. The night drew close in a strange way as spots of drizzle dropped out of a muddy brown sky. The river was almost black in parts. The electric lights on the Hammersmith side shone harsh and unnaturally whilst the Barnes side was that much darker. The bridge took on a deeper symbolism. Taking my sketches and various photographs I returned the following day to my Birmingham studio to start the painting. Ten days later and the result is shown here. I hope that I have achieved to demonstrate the difference between the walkway, the bridge and the river. Whilst it was a challenge it was also a lot of fun. Painting in a naive, expressive style, hitting the image hard with impasto work, offers a lot more freedom than the confined realism of tight brushwork that I sometimes undertake. I have tried to communicate the mood of that night by keeping the painting loose and expressive. And what should a painting be if not expressive?

New Project for the DMZ Art Festival: twitartmagazine (@Twitartmagazine) Having researched local history I will be working side by side “Entrenched Thought” 16-05-11 18:03 with people, building friendships and making the project into @art_news Mark Philip some nice work you made there! Want to consider a submission? http://t.co/n6Dku7u a participatory installation; part performance, part sculpture, Posted: April, 2011 | Author: Mark Philip #borders #issue3 which will involve the local community as they celebrate the Venema | Filed under: Casual | Here is a bit of background and the basic idea of the project: In 1989 I arrived in South Africa for a year to work for a community development organization and news magazine. Mandela was still in jail and the Iron Curtain was still in place. I had no idea what I was in for. I had completed two years of a graduate degree in Cross-cultural Studies and both my inner and outer world were about to be turned upside-down. You can guess the history; at about the same time as I witnessed the release of Mandela from prison, attending the euphoric Cape Town celebrations, the iron curtain started coming down. However the personal satisfaction that locals felt was something I couldn’t quite get my head around. I needed to find a connection between my inner and outer worlds. Having studied and lived abroad, borders and cultural conflicts have attempted to define and frustrate my life. In this way, thinking and dialoguing about how to deal with cultural and political differences has left its mark on my interior life and my vision of the world. My work as an artist became a need to create some kind of poetic construct; some mechanism to find out how to bring the inside to the outside; to make it meaningful to people very different from myself. This bit of biography is key to my practice. When taking solitary objects, turning them inside-out, consumer packages or personal ephemera, I have a compulsion to build bridges between personal worlds with larger questions. The project, “Entrenched Thought”, the idea of digging a trench along the DMZ, with the help of South Korean soldiers and locals and buttressing the structure with books, newspapers and mud, rather than sandbags, is just as much about “Disentrenching” thought, opening up dialogue and sharing private stories and views as it is about entrenched regional political and military tension. Its a project about digging. The DMZ history with respect to digging is well known. In the 1970’s the South Koreans discovered that the North had built tunnels under the two-kilometre wide zone that were large enough for an invading force to go through. While the iron curtain has come down, and presently we are seeing revolutions in the Middle East, Korea remains divided. In light of this, for the 11th time since 1999, the DMZ Art Festival is held with the aim to “pursue the constructive endeavour of peace.” 34 • Twitartmagazine 2011
DMZ Art Festival. The extensive photographic documentation that I will make of the project will allow me to offer prints to participants and supporters as a reminder of potential new ideas. I will be posting drawings and more details about the project...
UPDATED I have been invited to do an art installation at the 11th DMZ Art Festival in Korea. How did I get myself into this? I started to ask myself this question: In a world of political persecution and suffering caused by barriers and borders, is there anything meaningful an artist can do to edge humankind toward peaceful solutions?
A Project: A half-dozen shovels, a spade, a pick-axe. A few local volunteers and myself willing to dig a trench. A plot of land in an outdoor sculpture gallery next to the DMZ in Korea. Stacks of books and newspapers. We dig a trench, 20 meters long; a reference to a war that left millions of people in the Korean peninsula divided by a 250 kilometer DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone). As for the books: together with dirt, in lieu of sandbags, we buttress the sides of the trench with books, newspaper and dirt, to make what on the surface of things looks like a military trench. The title “Entrenched Thought” gives us an idea of the questions that the art work raises. My hope is that the dialogue the artwork generates is as much about “disentrenching” thought–a global need–as it is about the regional political tension and history.

The flame of art moves the world My work (painting, sculpture, drawing, installation, objects) developed from textile sack like forms to ‘wrapping sculptures’ (objects and installations created by wrapping stripes of textile around frames made out of branches, steel, etc.) till the temporary ‘flames’. This form means to symbolize the spiritual aspect in every human being. Goal of all my work is to make the unseen visual aspects of the total environment visible. In my latest objects the table appears as a metaphor for the often unstable relationship between people. In the latest installations I unveil the visual aspects of the energy hidden in trees. Prints on canvas of this work are for sale in a limited edition. Another part of my work is to act as curator for international art-in-nature projects -Global Art Fund.
Globalartfund is an initiative of visual artist Adri A.C. de Fluiter. Goal is to organise international site specific artprojects. Important is the cultural exchange between the artists themselves and the inhabitants of the location where the project is executed. Exchanging ideas , working methods and cultural backgrounds will contribute to the understanding between people all over the world: exchanging art worldwide, bringing people together. To achieve the goal globalartfund is working together with other organisations which are using art as an example for their own goals. This organisation can be governmental like SBB (State Forestry) or municipalities as well as industries. Funding of each individual project by: government (state, local), foundations and sponsors. http://www.defluiter.nl

Presently, what I do cover these areas: print Media, Illustration, Murals, logo and identity design, apparel and Footwear design.” Karo Akpokiere is the person behind the Seek Project “I love to draw and I am deeply interested in how these drawings can be applied to different media ( t-shirts, furniture, murals, print media, footwear etc) as a way to make them accessible and visible. The drawings are created using traditional and/or digital processes and are indicative of my desire to combine different ‘cultural’ elements in other to create art that is universally appealing and reflective of my interests in textile motifs, the graffiti aesthetic, t-shirt graphics, sneakers, advertising, character design and geometry. You can see my work on page 22”
