The Metamodern Smudge: Seeing Growth on the Frame

Image
  The Metamodern Smudge: Seeing Growth on the Frame My use of the phrase "Fingerprint on the frame" functions as a metamodernist artifact. From my perspective, metamodernism oscillates between modernist sincerity and postmodern irony, and this concept sits precisely at that intersection. It recognises that the artwork within the frame is a construction, while also valuing the human touch that created it. More than just recognition, it is the fundamental identifier.  In this space, the smudge is not just an artistic signature; it is a map of personal growth. It reveals the traces of our experiences and the impact of our interactions with the world around us. The transparency of glass symbolises the invisible cultural conditions that shape our perspectives, allowing us to see through to the complex realities that influence our creativity and expression. This interplay creates a deeper understanding of both the art and the artist, acknowledging that every mark left behind tells ...

Q Agony Gate

Image
  YouTube Video Created by JJFBbennett  Inspired by Rodin Soundtrack JJFBbennett · Q Agony Gate Poem Through me is the way into the doleful city.  Through me is the way into eternal suffering.  Through me is the way that runs among the lost. There is no objective reality behind this unknowable gate. Feeling broken, wounded, at a loss, disconnected, incomplete and critically aware. Against those who transcend our threshold. The point is - there isn't a plan when you have been discarded. John Bennett - AKA JJFBbennett is an independent artist.

Botticelli The Beauty Within Himself

Image
  Botticelli The Beauty Within Himself He saw the beauty of women he painted in himself. He saw the beauty of himself in the women he painted. NFT Shopify YouTube Video Poem She is seated before you, a picture of elegance and beauty. Her soft face is so ethereal that it practically floats in the air. Her skin is almost translucent. Her long, curly hair falls in a waterfall of curls down her back. Her facial movement is fluid and effortless as she sits with poise and elegance. She has a tranquil grin that appears to fill the room, and her look is peaceful and calm. She is breathtaking as she forms a golden halo within your darkness.

Gatekeepers of Art

Image
 Consider THIS Gatekeeper Gatekeeper Script  There are many individuals and organizations that can be considered "gatekeepers" in the art world, meaning that they play a role in determining what art is exhibited, promoted, or otherwise made available to the public. These gatekeepers can include curators, gallerists, collectors, critics, and other art industry professionals. Museums, galleries, and other cultural institutions are often considered the primary gatekeepers of the art world, as they have the power to decide which artists and artworks are exhibited and promoted. Curators, who are responsible for selecting and organizing exhibitions, can play a particularly influential role in this process Critics, who write about and evaluate art, can also influence public perceptions and demand for certain artists and artworks. As an independent artist, it is essential to recognize and consider the influence of these gatekeepers Botticelli Gatekeepers Botticelli Gatekeepers script...

Q Exits

Image
  Multiple Corridor Exits Two exits. Three pathways. NFT As I walked down the corridor of the motel, I couldn't shake the feeling of being lost and disoriented. The fluorescent lights flickered overhead, casting meaningless shadows on the dingy walls. I had been walking for what felt like hours, but every door looked the same, and I couldn't find my room. As I turned a corner, I thought I saw a glimmer of hope. A sign that said "Exit" hung from the ceiling, but as I approached it, I realized it was just a trick of the light. It pointed to multiple other doors, just like all the others. VIDEO -  Multiple Corridor Exits John Bennett - AKA JJFBbennett is an independent artist.

The Defined Gated Delusion

Image
Gated Delusion The primary purpose of the hall in the gallery is to create a sense of presence in the present moment. It is an empty space that allows visitors to feel as if they have been there but also not been there. The room's design subtly influences the participants' values through external factors. Within each gate, personal gatekeepers appear and tell the participants that their negative thoughts and beliefs are holding them back. The predicament promotes disorderly placement through complex subconscious decision-making. But, the environment ultimately intends to control decisions through subtle and intentional influence. Many at once. A unique and thought-provoking manifestation that aims to create a sense of presence and self-awareness in those who experience its being. A deeper understanding and appreciation of the self is acquired through this purpose-built experience. NFT The translucence beauty of the hall knowingly manipulates and deceives the participants to rea...

The Q Surrection Triptych

We should be allowed to gather in a nearby field, under a blue sky, and, with good food and wine, enter into difficult conversations. But the gate is locked.
