Volume 26 March • April 2017 Number 2 www.ArtAccess.com 2 ArtAccess.com © March • April 2017 Here We Are

I’m not unlike many professional artists. My work means piecing together Write of Way a career from teaching, publishing, speaking fees, grants, honorariums, and applying to choreograph in far away places, which satisfies my addiction to traveling, and my love of dancing. Dancers are my mobile community. Wherever I go, here we are.

I’m in KeriKeri, New Zealand, first studio on a North Island tour.

And it’s not every day that I get to teach Polynesians, so, quickly as possible, I’m going to write this and press SEND. I’m sitting outside a private home, pilfering the wireless. My lodging doesn’t have internet, possibly what I like best about it.

Talia walked into the studio slowly, but I didn’t get the feeling it was because she is bigger than most people, only that she comes from a humid place in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and slowly is just how people move due to the heat.

“I know nothing about your kind of dancing,” she said, “I worry I make fool of myself.” But as soon as she started moving her hips, it didn’t take long to see how there is nothing slow about her dancing.

“Hula is an amazing dance form,” I whispered to the director.

“We have a lot of Samoan dancers,” he said. “We had to have our floor reinforced.”

I liked Talia right away. When I think more about why, I consider all the people who are moving to Seattle lately with lots of money and, oftentimes, airs to match. But Talia has the nature of someone who’s had to work physically hard to earn her place in the world, and I can identify with that.

“I got the sugar,” is how she put it, meaning she is diabetic and suffering from peripheral edema caused by bad diet and excessive salt and/or sugar intake. A lot of Polynesians, I’ve found, have a hard time giving up Spam for whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

I’m fascinated by Talia’s jet black braid winding into a bun on top of her head; by her long skirts in all colors of the rainbow worn by people back home in a parade maybe, but not out and about, not in Seattle anyway…except maybe in Fremont; by the way she places her hand in front of her mouth as if trying to hide her laughter because she naturally wants to laugh off her errors more than the rest of us. What she does next is rub one hand over her stomach while the other rubs the small of her back, as if she is literally trying to rub out the mistake. It’s the funniest thing.

We talked about her sons who went to America to serve in the military; how she had her first baby at fifteen, nine others after. Nine! “Catholic, that’s why,” she said.

While the director is speaking, Talia says softly, “Fa’afafine,” raising her eyebrows. Later, she explained how Samoan’s don’t believe there is any such thing as “homosexual.” Fa’afafine is simply a third gender, well accepted and “celebrated in my culture,” she said, just as a stripe of sunlight washed over the tattoo of a gecko slithering up her thigh.

No one could have choreographed the effect any better.

Mary Lou Sanelli Sanelli’s latest book is “A Woman Writing.” She is speaking at Town Hall Seattle and joined by dancers from Cornish College of the Arts on April 27, 2017, 7:30 P.M. For more information, visit www.marylousanelli.com.

The painter’s lament

Whenever someone asks, “How did you get from here to there; How is it that you saw the possibilities?” it’s easiest to tell the truth — I honestly don’t know: I sat and stared and then followed my heart; I let my chosen colors do their work, and tried to balance light and dark; to allow it to become whatever it was born to be. Creating art is a quite bit like parenting, except — the outcome’s slightly more in your control.

Art’s challenge

The sacred challenge of art — even graffiti — is to remind us of our commonality; that whatever our gender, race, or creed, we share so much: eyes to weep as well as see — or look away; ears to listen or close; mouths to smile or curl in disgust; arms to hold, resist, or fight; hearts to love or wound…

Archipenko: A Modern Legacy Frye Art Museum Ukranian-born American sculptor these experimentations in his abstract Alexander Archipenko set out to figurative sculptures. The moments do the impossible. He sought to where Archipenko really nails it, where represent movement in sculpture. In the single curve of a hip or outline of a “Archipenko: A Modern Legacy,” on shoulder can suggest the most graceful now at the Frye Art Museum, the artist’s saunter or the most delicate repose, lifelong quest to expand the definitions are made all the more successful when Frye Art Museum • Seattle, Washington Frye and possibilities of sculpture raises a seen next to the drawings and sketches larger question about what it means to where he was working out these ideas. be an artist. About what an artist’s role in society can be. At the beginning, Archipenko’s more modern, abstract sculptures are For Archipenko, the role of the juxtaposed against an equal number artist was one of provocateur. Of of works adhering to more classical driving forward and instigating social representations of the human form. A change through artistic production. lifelike, white marble sculpture from Aligning himself with avant-garde 1921 effortlessly reads as a figure: artistic and literary groups quite the face is abstracted and one arm is early on in his career and all through it, truncated, but the all-too-familiar form Archipenko consistently experimented of the reclining female nude is easy to with what the sculptural form could discern. In case you still had doubts, just (and couldn’t) do. read the title: “Reclining.” Case closed.

Walking through the exhibit at the Frye, Right next to “Reclining,” however, which is organized chronologically— is “Walking” from 1912-18, a bronze (the historian in me rejoices!)— sculpture that gestures at the human visitors can trace the evolution of form, but abstracts and breaks it apart as much as constructing it. Here, Archipenko pushes the boundaries of what signifiers are needed in order for a sculpture to read as “human figure.” A vertical rectangular form at the bottom suggests “leg,” while the hourglass shape above reads “torso,” and the circular form on top suggests “head.” Much like the Cubists with whom he was often associated, Archipenko questions the very forms of representation themselves. “How much can I abstract the shape of the Alexander Archipenko body,” he seems to be asking, “until it “Boxing (Boxe),” 1914, bronze © 2017 Estate of Alexander Archipenko no longer reads as human at all?” Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York Frye Art Museum • Seattle, WA
