Abu Hamdan again

In Augustus 2022 I already wrote, here, about my interest in Lawrence Abu Hamdan in whose work art, sound research, language and politics meet. At the end of November my travels brought me to Besançon and I was happy to see the frac Franche-Comté presented an exhibition Aux frontières de l'audible on Abu Hamdan's work. (19/11/2023 - 14/04/2024) The show contains six works of which 45th Parallel from 2022 and Rubber coated steel from 2016 impressed me most.

Rubber Coated Steel is the video part (21,47 min.) of the installation Earshot. I watched the total video, absorbed by it's aesthetic and narrational force. It was delicate and needed all my attention. This was thorough sound research, which had political impact, brought as a thrilling video piece. Abu Hamdan questions how civil rights are "heard" today. The facts about the rubber bullets disguising real bullets are here.

In 45th Parallel, a video (color, sound, 15 min.) and two painted backdrops, the notion of border, often fragile, porous, absurd yet lethal, is narrated as a political and geographical grey zone in the concrete context of the Haskell Free Library and Opera House – a unique municipal site that straddles the jurisdictions of Canada and the United States (see photo of the library). Again, the facts and stories told are impressive, but what touched me especially was how strong and good in Abu Hamdan's work, research and art are entangled. Facts do "speak", but brought this way they "touch" profoundly. :) Art is a language:)

Because my painting post was so popular I decided to post a few more photos I took.

This one is dedicated to all my favourite statues.

COURBET AND THE MODERN LANDSCAPE

Courbet's outsized representation of The Artist's Studio (1855), subtitled "allégorie réelle déterminant une phase de sept années de ma vie artistique et morale," served as a mid-career reckoning, a theoretical manifesto and a program for future action. At the center of the work, the artist is seen in the act of painting. Although a conspicuously undraped female model stands beside him, she is not represented in the picture, nor are any of the other characters present in the studio. The painting in progress is, in fact, not figural. For this polemical and confessional grande machine, Courbet define himself not as the painter of somber provincials and rough, vigorous peasants, but as painter of landscapes. Over the next 15 years, landscape painting would account for three quarters of Courbet's artistic production. Lacking the controversy of his figural works, the landscapes were a great success with collectors, making him a considerable fortune.

His landscapes depict the region of the Franche-Comté around Ornans, his place of birth. Associated with deep geological time, Courbet's rugged, inhospitable landscapes are beyond aesthetic categories like the sublime and the picturesque. Primordial, enduring, and indifferent, they are the antithesis of the evanescent, refinements of civilization, epitomized by the glittering metropolis. The natives of such a land reflect their environment. Therefore, the array of somber, roughhewn inhabitants of Ornans depicted in the act of Enterrement, resembles the distinctive local cliff formations that Courbet would subsequently paint. His own desire to be to be understood as the artistic manifestation of this radically-primal and vital topography is emphasized by the representation of his own body in The Artist's Studio, which seems literally to merge and emerge from the landscape he paints.

Courbet's transition from figural to landscape painting might appear to be a calculated retreat from his early, politicized Realist works to a more collector-friendly, saleable landscapes. The latter, however, continue to engage with the avant-garde obliquely, through their heavy, gritty facture. Laid on like cement with a trowel in places, the heavily-built up surfaces that foreground the materiality of the painted medium are diametrically opposed to the self-effacing finish and sheen of salon painting. That this style was clearly perceived to be "modern" is seen in its appeal to the Impressionist avant-garde: Monet's Rouen Cathedral series, the winter landscapes of Monet, Sisley, and Pissarro and numerous views of L' Étretat, are all highly-indebted to Courbet's landscapes.

Like every player have their own tumblr and time to maintain it. what will each player blog look like? here coconuts🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥 and 🍌🍌, cause they are pretty much the only fruit emoji i can find grown in my country.

Okay. This could fun. We’re gonna use the world cup roster and see what my brain comes up with. 

Alyssa Naeher - Alyssa’s would be clean. Simple. And probably filled with pictures of morning aesthetics, her favorite people/places in Chicago, stuff about bikes/bike riding, and family. There be little to no commentary except the occasional zinger in the tags.

Mal Pugh - Mal’s blog lacks proper color coordination but no one will tell her that font color hurts their eyes. Mal would probably post about a bunch of popular cultural places she wants to visit, mixed in with things about partying (cause she’ll never actually have time for it), and back and forths with other people on the team over random memes. Somehow, all the advertisements on the page will be her in her new endorsements. 

Sam Mewis - Her blog is in the NC Courage gold and blue scheme. It’s generally a quiet place. A mixture of athletic “you can do its,” stuff about her favorite people, and non-profit organizations. She’s too good and too pure. She can’t help getting drug into things though and her friends will definitely tag her in dumb memes. 

Becky Sauerbrunn - Becky’s would probably be a comfortable grey scheme. Easy on the eyes. She’d post about Adidas, nintendo, places to relax (like the beach), napping, and cat pictures. So many cat pictures/videos/memes. There’d be at least one hulu ad. 

Kelley O’Hara - Kelley O’Hara keeps her page with a dark theme because she knows most people are looking at this stuff when they’re up late. It’s definitely the only time she’d have for it. She’d have weird coffee/juice posts, athletic inspirationals, home aesthetics, and beach life. You’ll be able to tell that one day she’ll retire to a life of surfing. 

Morgan Brian - Morgan’s would probably be super fancy, and well thought out. Definitely paid for a theme. But it’ll just be stuff about her vacations and her husband, and if you don’t follow her you’ll probably forget it’s really there. (Sorry.)

Abby Dahlkemper - Puppies. California life. Landscapes. It’s pretty and makes you want to see real palm trees. 

Julie Ertz - Travel Pictures and the Eagles. Her husband would have a companion blog. It would be women’s rights and the USWNT and Chicago. It feels like the ultimate couples goal blog. Its so cute it hurts. 

Lindsey Horan - Horan’s blog is surprisingly sparse on content that she hasn’t been tagged in and dragged into. Mostly stuff about the Thorns. 

Carli Lloyd - The blog is plain. The theme has never been changed. It’s strictly about team championships and fitness. So much fitness. So much stuff about running. Also some New Jersey aesthetic pictures, but somehow nothing about Sky Blue. 

Ali Krieger - Ali’s would be full of all different things. Dogs. Ashlyn. Reposts of Kyle Krieger tweets. Beach pics. Things that show her own tattoos (but not in a shallow way) and like....explain stories. It will be cute af, but also Orlando purple and I’ll hate that. 

Tierna Davidson - Her blog will be super chill and lowkey. You’ll almost forget it’s there because it never stirs up trouble. It will however, have lots of love for stanford. And her girlfriend. 

Alex Morgan - Her blog will literally be advertisements and endorsements. It’s not actually hers at all. It’s run by a PR team because she can’t afford to spend time on that.

Emily Sonnett - Sonnett’s blog will be a trash fire. She’s my favorite. It’s still true. There will be no theme. She will shitpost her friends. Tag them in dumb memes and pretend to be a food blog from time to time. She’ll be the group’s resident photoshop girl. It will be dumb and it will be great. 

Megan Rapinoe - Her blog will be gay. So so so gay. And unapologetic. It will also include posts about social and societal issues. Support for the Seattle Storm. And fashion. Somehow she’ll tie it all together. She’ll probably get in trouble for something she posts at some point and still refuse to take it down. 

Rose Lavelle - Dogs. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. 

Tobin Heath - Her blog will be some weird artsy blog. It will be full of stuff that we don’t really get but appreciate looking at anyway. Occasionally she’ll post a selfie and every single one of her followers will die on the spot. It’ll definitely be her in some form of terrible shorts/underwear. 

Ashlyn Harris - Tattoos. Ali. To write love on her arms. Sharks. Her own dog. Lots of original content that she’ll tag with #yourewelcome. Also I somehow see her posting pictures of the beach. 

Crystal Dunn - Crystal doesn’t have time for tumblr. She’s too busy busting her ass and doing the work. 

Allie Long - Her blog is content of her pups. Futsal. Videos of pranks. Fashion. Dumb stuff happening with Bati, pictures of bible verse quotes, and the occasionally text argument. 

Adrianna Franch - Thorns content. Dapper fashion. Inspirational quotes. And places she either has or would like to travel. She keeps it lowkey. Also lots of photos that make her happy/herself actually smiling and joking around. She wants people to feel good and be better for looking at it. 

Jessica McDonald - She’s a professional athlete and a mom. If you think she has time for a blog you’re nuts.

Christen Press - Dogs. Pictures of sunsets and sunrises. Her family and how much she loves and appreciates them. Random poetry. Home aesthetics and where she’s comfortable. Quotes on being at peace. Random art. Pinks and Oranges. Interesting fashion choices.
