ABOUT TRACY KOSTENBADER tracykostenbader.com or IG: @tracykostenbader tracykostenbader.com

Tracy Kostenbader is a visual and social artist who co-founded AnySquared as an artist collaborative in 2010 to develop art projects with others in rejection of an elitist view of art and institutions. Functioning on the basic premise of mutual aid and cooperation, Tracy has also helped build a unique organization and space in Chicago where people come from all over the city to participate and build projects together.

She transformed her home studio to make space for other artists where people can interact and produce art together. Tracy has been hosting AnySquared’s studio days more than a decade and mentors emerging artists to expand their ideas about how to create their work.

In AnySquared, she spearheads collaborations with a network of artists and groups and brings people together. She leads visual arts projects where participants are included in the process of designing and producing them. She creates arts programming, curates exhibitions, and nurtures others to also become arts organizers and make more challenging arts projects.

Tracy’s philosophy is rooted in collaboration. Her history of work with social justice campaigns has a profound effect on her ideas as an artist. Working together is the underpinning of AnySquared.

While producing collaborative projects, Tracy has maintained her own art practice. She explores personal and political themes with paintings, drawings, and digital images.

Transition. Charlie “ I have always known I am male. However, I go through bouts of confidence and clarity with my identity as trans and queer. I want to be out and proud for all the people who fought to be who are they before me, for the people still fighting today and to support trans visibility. “Even after years of being out, the thought that people might judge me is still scary, but I try to stand strong. I know who I am. I feel proud to be among all these beautiful queer people.” @charlieesharp #grateful #transition #genderidentity #fluidart #support #transgender #humanrighs #photography #freedon #socialactivist #socialartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CRuXqQcH2PC/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Social Artist

Love transforms the way we see, think, dream, act, engage the world, serve others and even transcend our local selves. Love is the source of much creative endeavor: songs, poetry, writing, dreaming, folly and glory. It is what wakes us up and keeps us going. As we love more, we honor more, we see and accept more. We honor pain and beauty. We honor each other’s paths. This is where the social artist as loving evocateur makes fertile the fields of action in which his or her co-workers farm. With love we become more intelligent and creative because we are open to the patterns of the whole network of life. We glimpse the wonder in its infinite forms and that wonder is within us. With love we are able to exceed our local conditions and evolve. The role of the social artist is to be able to open himself or herself to a loving resonance. A social artist of love discovers strategies that become daily practices. Committing to the choice of love is the highest teaching of them all, offering the greatest good for life on this planet. The highest teaching, universal love, goes beyond innate, unconscious or restricted loving according to the demands of culture or family.

The universe is alive and loving. As you move towards the loving universe, it moves towards you. A loving leader magnetizes events and people by virtue of their spiritual eros. A leader aware of the lure of becoming is a powerful attractor. The universe grows by its connections and its attractions, atoms to atoms, molecules to molecules, bodies to bodies, groups to groups, nations to nations and finally the world. Attraction is an operating principle of the Godbeing, finding relationships through love that move the sun and stars. Those who enter into the primordial relationship to Godspirit as Beloved, find love spilling over to all things.

Consider how much we love our gardens, giving them attention and devotion. Consequently, they love us back by producing. The same is true of our pets. If we received the same quality of loving regard and empowerment that we give to our dogs and cats, there is no telling how evolved our lives would be. With our animals and our gardens we are wise enough to know that we must give attention, devotion and awareness in order to get a loving response. With human relationships we expect far less of ourselves. A loving leader gives the quality of attention and devotion to others that makes a well-tended garden bloom abundantly.

The leader as social artist is a romancer, an inciter of spiritual eros. He or she calls others to a remembrance of their own beloved soul. Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama represent people of a high spiritual eros, drawing others into engagement with their own souls and the unfolding of their soul’s code because they themselves have so deep and constant a relationship to their own beloved. The social artist must embody the mystery of the Great Lure, the possibility of loving partnership with the Divine, the Beloved of the Soul. In giving energy and commitment to this spiritual partnership, a social artist leader emanates love to all realms of existence, even the subtle or invisible realms.

Here is a practice for becoming a loving creative leader. Each morning before arising, join your Togethermind with the Beloved Divine and review the day ahead. The Beloved can nuance the best actions for a particular day. Each evening before sleep, join your Togethermind with the Beloved Divine and review the day gone by. The Beloved would praise your accomplishments.

Setting aside a period each day for reflection, prayer and co-creative meditation on your projects, you give the Beloved your time as the Beloved helps you gain answers. It is essential that you think of the Beloved as your guiding Essence. These relationships grow only by conscious use. Place yourself within the Beloved’s field, sit quietly with your mind at rest and let the field carry you to the Essence place. Enjoy the connection and wait for the insights that drop into your mind.

Don’t dwell on obstacles. Focus on the connection that diminishes obstacles. There is a fuller picture to be known and then applied.Where you build the house of the spirit, the spirit will always enter.  

To receive ultimate knowledge, create a mind of vast emptiness that perfectly mirrors the universe. That would mean dropping all categories, habits, all feelings other than love. Otherwise, this Universe is strained through the lens of your needs and expectations. That said, the lens accomplishes much, for it gives form and shape to the infinite treasures in the creative universe. Allow into your being a state of openness and resonance to God, the All, the One, Mind-at-Large, Cosmic Consciousness and connect with the most perfect Frequency that includes all others. The Beloved joining forces with you in the Togethermind seek qualities and structures to evolve your life and culture. In your together-heightened-frequency, you open the lens to create patterns of a social enterprise, an ecology of cultural and social designers.

When your dislikes color your mood and perception and you hear your mind rehearsing your dislike, immediately, get out of automatic pilot and turn to the Beloved. Together you will work things out. Whenever you have a deep concern, reach toward the concern of the Beloved. Then, from their place of creative wishes and loving intention, send this Higher Order of Design and well being to that concern.

The social artist has a quality of attunement and attraction. They are condensers for the ley lines of love. They maintain a state of mutuality even facing the most difficult obstacle. Being in a state of constant darshan, the most attuned see the Beloved Divine in others regardless of behavior. How do we generate such energy of loving? Hindus and Buddhists describe four beautiful qualities:

(1) Loving kindness (2) Heart compassion (3) The willingness to allow yourself to be or become happy because someone else is happy, no matter what levels of unhappiness you experience. (4) the hardest one for most of us: allowing yourself to maintain a state of loving equanimity when others behave like wretches. The general method of practice recommended for reaching these estimable goals involves ever deepening forms of meditation.

From here the real work of a loving creative community begins.

Dr. Jean Houston, scholar, philosopher and researcher in Human Capacities, is one of the foremost visionary thinkers and doers of our time. She is long regarded as one of the principal founders of the Human Potential Movement. In 1965, with her late husband Dr. Robert Masters, Dr. Houston co-founded The Foundation for Mind Research. She founded of the Mystery School, now in its 25th year, a program of human development, mythic and spiritual studies. A prolific writer and author of 25 books, Houston has been advisor to Fortune 500 corporations, to the Dalai Lama, to President and Mrs. Clinton, and earlier to Eleanor Roosevelt.

Jago’s work is the result of an experimental mixture between different languages of expression, in constant evolution. It is supported by a multimedia narrative that has allowed his poetic to travel the globe together with his way of understanding and making art. We tell his story in our book “Creativity”. • Photo by @_lmorandi http://www.yourstory.it @jago.artist @abcstone @precisionstoneinc @northamericansculpturecenter @vermontquarries @nyacademyofart #jago #jagoart #jagoartist #jagosculpture #NASC #sculpture #art #marble #socialartist (presso Milan, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByF1KJ2I_KN/?igshid=1v8niggc279d4

Inflammatory Essays (1979-1982) Essays on intolerance, indifference, violence, rampant consumerism, the battle between the sexes and the abusive use of power. Jenny Holzer copied these 100 word essays on different colored paper so when she plastered them wallpaper style in NY passers-by would know they were different. #artist #jennyholzer #commentary #art #palmdesert #desertx #marksartcenter #socialartist #neoconceptual #inflammatoryessays #jordanschnitzerfamilyfoundation #jschnitzerffe (at College of the Desert) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv0sr44h-q5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4h4ste1b10ho
