Poem not yet sent to you:

The water's bliss

Remind me of you i have so much miss

I remember you

I care for you

Even if i didn't say yet that i love you

Our moment together was full of affection

You always gave me direction

Protected me from being astray

Keep me in your loving way.

I'm sorry that you didn't understand me

Like i was a puzzle to be solved and was in mystery.

I tried to tell you what I felt for you.

But you are too young to pour my love to.

I kept what i feel for you.

Like keeping the light inside a cloud meant for you.

Even if covered by an an immeasurable amount of clouds it will burst through

It will confess to you how much i have felt love for you

Like a radiant light piercing the sky of clouds.

Here's an article about photography firsts, including the 1826 (!) Photo: https://www.oldest.org/artliterature/photographs/

One of my favorite things so far in Dracula Daily is finding out Kodak cameras existed in Dracula times. I mean of course they did (the oldest surviving photo is from 1826) but it’s still a brand name today. The first Kodak was from 1888.

Kodak box cameras like this weren’t a tech invention really. Their popularity was from simplifying down to point and shoot, and more importantly taking development and reloading away from the photographer. For $2 ($65 today) you’d send in the whole camera and they’d send you a reloaded one with 100 shots in it.

By the time Dracula came out you could get what we now call a “prosumer” Kodak camera. It had replaceable parts and accessories but you could still just point and shoot. What did photos from this look like? Appropriately spooky!

Leading to Lorna Simpson

Research Proposal

“Language is powerful.  By using texts as the central communication vehicle in their artistic expression, artists push forth letters, numbers, and words as their primary means to get out the message” (Stewart, 2017).  How have words impacted the art of Lorna Simpson?  Words in art form started with medieval manuscripts with elaborate pictures.  An example of this is the Palermo Stone.  It has information written on it about the first five dynasties of Egypt.

Palermo Stone (c. 3150-c.2323 BCE) 43.5 cm high, 25 cm wide and 6.5 cm thick

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palermo_Stone

Marcel Duchamp

Marcel Duchamp is the French painter and sculptor  (7-28-1887 to 10-2-1968) known for helping to move forward the ideas of conceptual art.  He challenged the idea of, What is Art?  Duchamp enjoyed using wordplay, especially puns, conveying visually.  “The linguistic dimension of his work in particular paved the way for Conceptual Art.”  Duchamp studied for one year at Paris’s Ecole les Beaux Arts and never returned.

Below is a link to Anemic Cinema:  Duchamp’s video shows a spiral design spinning, alternating with puns in French.  

https://youtu.be/dXINTf8kXCc

Duchamp took his inspiration from Cubism and minimalism but added more to his work.  He added motion to a Cubist idea and a bicycle wheel to a stool which became the first readymade art.  

Bicycle Wheel.  Marcel Duchamp.1951. Metal wheel mounted on painted wood stool, 51 x 25 x 16 1/2" (129.5 x 63.5 x 41.9 cm)

Conceptual Art

Conceptual Art is the movement from the mid 1960′s to mid 70′s, having many forms such as happenings, performances, and ephemera.  Art is usually judged on aesthetics, expressions, and skill, but conceptual artists reject these normal standards of art.  Conceptual Art is linked by work from Marcel Duchamp and influenced by minimalism.  Not needing to look like a traditional piece of art or even take on a physical form.  These artists have created art that is about art and pushed the limits by using little material and including text.

Jenny Holzer

Jenny Holzer was born in Gallipolis, Ohio in 1950.  Holzer has a BA from Ohio University in Athens; a MFA from Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, and honorary doctorates from the University of Ohio, R.I. School of Design, and the New School University in New York.  She was the first woman to represent the United States in the Venice Biennale in 1990.  She lives and works in Hoosick Falls, New York.

The plaque is shown in the same way as a museum plaque.  This style of displaying text is featured prominently in Jenny Holzer’s work.  Holzer’s use of language, location, and focusing on social issues clearly impacted the work of Lorna Simpson.

Lorna Simpson

Lorna Simpson was born in Brooklyn, New York on August 13, 1960.  She has a B.F.A. degree in photography from the School of Visual Arts in N.Y.C. and a M.F.A. degree in visual arts from the University of California, San Diego.  Her first solo exhibit was in 1986 at Just Above Midtown Gallery in New York.  She has since been an artist in residence in Massachusetts and Ohio, has had many exhibits in museums around the world, created films, and has work included in collections at the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art among others.  Simpson first started doing documentary type photos, then moved on to graphic design.  A friend urged her to California for grad school and there she was drawn to conceptual based art and language.  Her early photos have models staged with text from newspapers and magazines.  The words usually relating to racism, inequality of African Americans, and women.  In the 1990′s, Simpson was one of the first African American woman to be in the Venice Biennale.  Simpson is married with one child living in Brooklyn, New York.  

Lorna Simpson,  The Water Bearer. 1986. Gelatin Silver Print with Vinyl Lettering

Although there is missing times in the evolution of artwork with text, the passage of time and the willingness of artist to broaden the horizons of what is considered art, has led Lorna Simpson to create the work she is famous for.

Street Markets of Istanbul

Street markets (pazar) still create a good alternative for economical shopping. People who generally do their shopping at various stores get astonished when they somehow come across with the prices in street markets located at different neigbourhoods on specific days of the week. The street markets at Ulus on Thursdays, YeSilkoy on Wednesdays,

Kadikoy on Tuesdays are the most popular ones. You can buy the garments of the latest fashion at a reasonable price range. Besides you can meet your needs ranging from clothes to kitchenery, bags and decorative furniture in the street markets at Fatih on Wednesdays, BeSiktaS on Saturdays and Fmdikzade on Fridays. Street markets promise a few hours full of joy and nostalgia for remembering the acquint smell of that enthusiastic and colourful crowd, as well as an economical shopping.

 Istanbul that accustomed to “the universal culture”

The come and goes of the most famous artists of the world are no longer “sensational events” for the people of Istanbul; because Istanbul has a determining role in I “the universal culture circulation.”

Not so long, some 20-25 years ago, Istanbul used to be all over the place when a foreign artist came. This famous guest used to be the focus of the public opinion. All the columns and cameras used to be directed to that person. Even the most serious columnists could not help mentioning “the sensational visit.”

It has changed now. The visits of the most popular, the most distinguished, the most famous singers, stars and groups are simply not much “sensational” for Istanbul. Because, Istanbul has taken its place among “the main cultural capitals” of the world such as Paris, Rome, New York, Vienna and London, Istanbul, with its cultural/historical/natural riches that the whole humanity admires, is “an open air museum.” Its giant surface area and population, whether they want or not, is taking Istanbul next to the main megapouses of the world. With all these “plus” and ’’minus” qualities,

Istanbul is certainly a “world city” and “city of culture” today…

The population of Istanbul is a very interesting mosaic. People from all social groups are represented in this city. The immigration rush from all parts of Turkey has brought Istanbul to be “the synthesis of this country.” It is hard to say that “the education and culture level” is at the same level with western cities, in the demography. But the “intelligentsia” of is strong enough to be dominant in the cultural life of the city. Or, “the intellectuals of Istanbul” are not only in “artliterature areas”, they are represented in many areas. For instance, most of “the businessmen at the top” are the active elements of this “intelligentsia.” Istanbul is organizing most of the festivals that has universal prestige owing to their efforts.

Besides, Istanbul street markets has gained many of the cultural complexes that evoke admiration by the “culture and art foundations” they established. Briefly; The very strong “intelectual consensus” of Istanbul in terms of quality has accomplished the mission to take this city among “the universal culture capitals” with a great success, Istanbul has taken its place among “the world cities that could assimilated universal culture” despite of its mixed demographic structure by the efforts of its intellectuals.

MONSIEUR V

 Il était allongé sur l’herbe et a fermé les yeux.

Le soleil réchauffait son visage délicatement

Comme l’on enlace un animal affectueusement.

Il respirait le vent, un air pur et si frais

Qu’il se mit à pleurer le jour où il quittera

Ces montagnes boisées et ces fleuves qui abondaient.

 Il pensait à son pays. Ô, qu’il aimait à ne pas en douter !

Mais il ne pouvait se résoudre à abandonner

Ce paysage qu’il a tant de fois rêvé.

 Alors, il ouvrit les yeux, et debout sur l’herbe

Il prit le baluchon qu’il avait apporté

Et quitta ce voyage vers le lieu où il est né.
