The Meaning of Life Mysticism In The New York Art Scene Interview By Shirley Tatum David Life, entangled among ropes and nets, hung above an entranced crowd on Saturday night, struggling to the accompaniment of undeterminable whispers and voices on tape. Like some stray, disillusioned astronaut Life swayed from the top of the arts building in front of his mystical work, a large painting that reads “ You are the gods...Go to all spaee” . David Life is one of the New York artists participating in the New York art exhibit currently on campus. I talked with him during his visit concerning his performance, his art and Life in general.
How did your performance interact with the mural? The performance is essentially about all the aspects of our lives that become interwoven as we move through our lives, and how some people allow this to become a trap for themselves. The difference between the words “ Net” and “ Nest” is the letter “ S” which symbolizes power over life and death, Isis. In a sense our lives can be either a net, a trap, or it can be a nest, a womb to be born out of. The performance is about that, about being able to make the threads of our lives not becoming an entanglement but a BRENTON KELLY/Nutu« nest from which we can move to other places because of “ Gee, wouldn’t this look great over the sofa?” what we have gained from it, rather staying there in an entanglement. or the soul or the other—it goes by a lot of different names. supposed to be a dirty bathroom scene with her hanging When you come to a full realization of the atheorical body herself with an “ I Love N .Y.” shoestring tied to her arm.

Grk ' % j |í-ÍK & ífr A m e Creative Studies and the UCen Art Galleries, currently on view until December 16. The diversity of the show is tremendous. The “ ad- mittingly capitalistic” culture of the New York artists has not allowed for any singular movement to arise. There is no theme, no driving uniting force, but rather a collection of varied styles that are purely individual expressions. The elements of New York urban life are sometimes presented in stark and powerfully brutal imagery as in the works of Sue Coe. In other cases the perils of the city are completely denied in the art of Rodney Alan Greenblat, work that almost verges on bitter sarcasm in its extreme bubble of bliss. The variation of the art is not limited to represen tation or subject matter, but in its medium as well, although there is a surprisingly small amount of photography and sculpture exhibited. It is the freshness, the immediacy of style that is Neo York’s most captivating quality. Although this is an element most likely derived from the Graffitists, there are very few artists who cling to the spray-painting of subway cars as a lasting medium. Richard Hambleton, one of the more prominent artists, captures the urgency of graffiti with his frenzied, haphazard brushwork that is more concerned with character of the motion than character of its subject. “ Venice” is particularly captivating in its violent splattering depiction of a figure, threatening in its anonyminity. Peter Drake’s works are haunting, subtle visions that are dark, mysterious, yet vibrant with tension. In contrast to the tense calm of Drake is a more neo expressionistic style of Rick Prol, whose violence is derived from the garish, bold colors, gruesome subjects and crude wood cut print like style. Stephen Lack uses expressionism in his bold

It is instead of a reflection of that world by many different minds, some more effective than others, yet all unique. Though some of the works are weaker in contrast to others, the show as a whole is successful as a collaborative update of the East Village art scene. In conjunction with the show has been a forum made of the visiting artists, dealers, and critics who discussed the New York art phenomenon Tuesday. Following the forum, public receptions were held in each of the three galleries. On Tuesday, November 20, Stephen Harvey, New York
