The fetishizing of the object is what likely bothered the art nouveau artist. They saw material, inanimate objects being infused with human (and divine) properties, while at the same time, actual human beings were being deprived and devoid of them. They saw this transfer of properties from people towards the objects they created as wrong, and they decided to fight against it. The female body is supposed to be sensual, not the dress used to cover that body; not to jewel used to adorn it, nor the bag, nor the shoes, nor anything else. The quality of sensuousness is essentially human – we do not know nor can we say for certain if other mammal animals entertain the notion of eroticism the same way humans do. It may just be an urge to reproduce, or it can be something more, we don’t know. What we do know, on the other end, is that humans do cultivate these notions of eroticism and sensuousness, and tend to draw great deal of pleasure in their exercise. To the art nouveau artist it may have seemed as profoundly wrong to take this quality away from the human being, and instead, infuse the inanimate object with it. It may have seemed as an aberration and an affront to not only womanhood, but to humanity as such. This is way the art nouveau style is so insistent on female sensual form; on invoking the female pleasure, sometimes in very brazen and not necessarily subtle manner. A woman is not supposed to draw her beauty or her sensuality from the sensualized, fetishized garments – she is supposed to draw those qualities from herself, her being and body. Art nouveau artist is interested in the sensual nature of the naked female body, away from the fetishized garments; they are interested in regarding the said body as the source of sensuality – this is why even the art nouveau furniture, jewelry, or the soft and rounded shapes of buildings, are essentially feminine in nature. #artnouveau #art #architecture #facade #stonemasonry #gasping #consumerism #turnofthecentury #consumerart #consumerculture #16th #16eme #16emearrondissement (presso 16th arrondissement of Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJIpAjJJfjX/?igshid=wvh343pdx2l1

What’s your go to sweet?

Mine is hands down a good chocolate bar. I know what I like and often go right for that particular bar, without giving the other kinds a look over. Even though my body is in a cycle of buying the same kind of chocolate, there are SO MANY KINDS to choose from. The diversity of chocolate bars varies from store to store, and within different geographic areas. This project is an attempt to document the several different kinds of chocolate bars in my area of NW Washington, DC. 

Before I talk about what I found in my first field site, I want to talk about my understanding of chocolate. To me, chocolate is a solid substance that people with extra money use to indulge. Some kinds are appear to be healthier than others, one example of a “healthier” kind is dark chocolate. But I’m not a scientist and I’m not going to attempt to prove or disprove these perceptions. Chocolate is different from candy in general because it is made from a specific ingredient—the cocoa bean. While there are several kinds of chocolate in most grocery stores from hot chocolate powder, baking chocolate chips, and chocolate bars, I am only focusing on the bars in these field notes.  

I visited Whole Foods in Foggy Bottom on Friday February 8th, 2019 around 11 am (not a busy time for the chocolate wall). The store was mainly pretty slow except for a little bit of buzz near the hot bar.

Chocolate bars are located on one single wall, to the right of the beer selection and to the left of the checkout lines. The display was disheveled and picked over (Image 1). 

It doesn’t appear that chocolate is organized based on price. The chocolate bars range in price between $2.99 and $5.00. The only arrangement criteria I noticed was that the fancier chocolate was either on the top or the bottom of the display. This suggests that Whole Foods wants to push the cheaper generic brand by placing it at eye level.

Overall the chocolate’s packaging has earth tone colors with some bright pops of color depending on the flavor and origin (image 1). My three criteria for observing chocolate packaging are the patterns or imagery, number of different colors, and the packaging material.

I found that the most basic packaging, with the least embellishment was also the least expensive. For example the bottom most row holds Whole Foods brand chocolate in only a few flavors which was $2.99. Another one of the cheaper brands, Chocolove on the eye level shelf has thrown together packaging with a plain background, and fonts that make the package feel chaotic (image 2). Chocolove is also $2.99.

On the other hand, Whole Foods also carries more expensive brands that claim to be more sustainable or have exotic flavors. The brand Endangered Species is located on the second shelf from the floor. These bars have the most intricate packaging by far (image 3). There is a different package design on thick matte paper for each individual flavor. The matte paper alludes to a more organic, less refined feel which adds to the experience of buying chocolate which donates a small portion of profit to endangered species.

The display is minimally decorated with Valentine’s day propaganda. There are a few small signs pushing customers to buy chocolate, and connecting chocolate with love. One sign says “Your whole trade purchases support farmworker communities” next to a bunch of roses. Buying this chocolate will not only make you a good person because it supports “farmworker communities,” it also can help you out on valentine’s day!

The Foggy Bottom Whole Foods store is ripe with opportunities for consumers to feel good about the products they’re buying. Donating 10% of profits to an endangered species is always a reason to buy more chocolate, right?

see you in hell [above] are three photos of adhesive poster graffiti street art [by artists @consumerart @dirkartnyc &c] found anno 2018 in New York NY that depict a maiden with a halo surrounding her head and a rosary tied to her waist wearing a shawl made of stars and a robe made of the sun (with an Eye of Providence in its center) holding a cross in one hand and a suppressed 1911 pistol in the other (which she is pointing at a dessicated human skull placed at her feet that has XIV written on its side and crossed knives drawn on its forehead) all whilst standing on a pedestal engraved with the word AMERICA; a badly soiled can of ‘love spray’ [by @consumerart]; a cartoon portrait [by @dirkartnyc] of Mahatma Gandhi wearing glasses and a robe with ‘the path is the goal’ written on it; & a sealed coffin suspended above a circular hole before a red sun surrounded by thirteen tears and a cryptic symbol with these decipherable alphanumerics written on its lid: see you in hell
