Bikes in Stuttgart -- Chained in Cuba


On Ya Bikes ... R ...

Always Chained in Stuttgart.

Well 'Rob of Stuttgart' I would not get too hung up over it. They generally come with and work thru chains I think. Unlike us humans, who are born free, or so the story goes!

Your photo work is the high point. Often when we try and explain then it drops an octave and becomes an essay, rather than art. I suggest just dropping 'hints' and leave it to the viewer. It's the creative angle that triggers something novel in the mind-experience of the beholder. I to am trying to get off a life-time addiction of 'pushing information' at others. Better to shine the light & let the petals open of their own accord. The hard part is how to keep out of the way. Beyond 'authorial intrusion' and yet still being there. Trainer wheels are still on here! -- as you might observe from my naive art.

I think the censor must be there but only as the observer and perhaps final arbiter before the public ‘commit’. Then it becomes the game between inner child ‘essence’ and the ‘social parent’ with potential shame anxiety.

An interesting and free activity if one is able to take and hold the third perspective.

Tri-cycles in the 4th dimension
Time bound
Chained causation.


Chained in
Chained down

Chained.

hey i like this image- reminds me of marcel duchamp...check out his The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even, also known as The Large Glass, by Marcel Duchamp, (1915-1923). This work is a bewildering puzzle, considered one of the most complex, allegorical and esoteric works of art of the Twentieth Century. Its influence on modern art has been profound; some have argued that it is greater than that of Picasso. Accompanying The Large Glass is The Green Box a collection of Duchamp’s writings, drawings, and calculations for the work, which he provided as the Ariadne’s thread for the work’s interpretation. Surrounding all this is Duchamp’s philosophy of an-art and the beauty of indifference; provocative ideas that have triggered years of fervent debate.
