ARS_312_07_THERE_SHOULD_BE_AN_END_TO_MORE
Jeremy Wade : there is no end to more.
while i am not a fan of performance art, i went to see there is no end to more with as relatively open mind as i was ever going to have.
during and after the performance i felt significantly confused. it was nothing like i thought it would be. while i know i have a superficial understanding of manga, and even less substantial understand of "kawaii" or cute culture; i felt that the performance and my perception of what the performance would be were terribly disjointed. the reviews for the collaborative performance were extremely receptive and positive.
this confuses me for a few reasons. the first of which being purely on instinctual and not really backed up by anything except personal bias, i didn't enjoy it. i found it to be mentally overstimulating, yet visually underwhelming.
after doing minimal google-ing, (therefore and now know everything...), i'm even more confused. the two major forces of the performance, jeremy wade and hiroki osuka, are both known for eroticism in their work. but i felt that it was mildly tasteless in the bits and pieces of sexual mannerism and imagery utilized.
what also find intriguing, is that while doing the minimal research, i found myself genuinely interested in each artist independently of the collaboration.
the most successful part of the performance i would attribute to marcos rosales who wrote the text. because i felt that was the strongest element. it was at the very least consistently disjointed.
what bothered me the most, i think, was the lack of cohesion in between the text and the performance there was either too much of a correlation, or not enough. i think it would have to either be one way or the other. either it followed the text or it didn't this mix made it hard to concentrate on either.
until further study of performance art im going to look at this as a some what failed collaborative process. rather than highlighting the talents of each artist i felt that they were not equally stated int hat some where over and other understated. however, not in a way that was beneficial to the piece as a whole. i really also don't totally understand the "cute culture" qualities that were supposed to be highly present in the performance. this may be my l lack of understanding of the genre but

"Engineer and artist Golan Levin pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with audiovisuals and technology. In an amazing TED display, he shows two programs he wrote to perform his original compositions."

"Sculptor and engineer Arthur Ganson talks about his work -- kinetic art that explores deep philosophical ideas and is gee-whiz fun to look at."
