<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Appropriation through the allure of a moment, is a silent verse that can be seen. The windows of the soul, in conjunction with subconscious apparitions - drawing with light - imposing emotions on reality. Questioning connectivity by redefining it, we find the high-water mark. We cannot be forsaken, immersed in all this passing beauty, raising out of deconstructed memories. Analog information through digital application; the remains of the day.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Prior to my first major art project [<i>In The Shadow Of The Young Ones</i>] I wouldn't have taken notice of the unintended patterns & visual aspects of urban change. Art is what we make of it, and also being open to information that alters our perception. Even out of context a story is told; not only about the subject, but also the author. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The color image before the photo's is a preview of a new series of digital art-work, and the subject of an upcoming exhibition. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Thank you for taking the time to engage with this.

<span lang=""><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Art has the power to heal. Art has the power to create new life and open new horizons. If the soul is to repair itself, art can be the medicine which will effectuate this repair. Those with the power to create, therefore, bear the heavy burden, the duty of providing this medicine. Rejecting the merely interesting and pleasing in favor of that which inspires a restorative process within the damaged psyches of today is key to creating art. While much effort has been expended on being ‘socially-conscious’, very little effort is put into being spiritually-conscious, in creating art which will soothe the deep gashes that modern society leaves on the human spirit. </span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Even more amazing is how little many people know of this, on both sides, depending on which part of Eastern civilization you consider.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>One of the most amazing things about NYC, is that we have a few beaches. They give us something of a sea-side escape, from our never-ending concrete jungle. Even today, Brighton beach area is like another world to many. Populated by those from Ukraine & Russia (some are Jewish - orthodox & non, others Orthodox Christian), its a charming-strange area, with ruff-patches, problems, gruff characters and friendly people. For me, its a place of fond memories, small adventures with old friends, late night excursions on the beach and first taste of passion & love. </b></span><br />

Its hard to believe there was a time when living in New York city was either cheap or very affordable; not just 50 years ago, but 10-5 years ago. The cost of residential living has risen sharply, while most salaries didn't. And while most are feeling the pinch - they are content to seek pleasure, after occasionally bitching [if only most had the testicular fortitude to take action]. The commercial sector may be even worse; many businesses aren't making enough to pay rent [fickle consumers always looking for the next trendy thing doesn't help either]. The store "Pearl River" will be moving after Dec 2014, from 477 Broadway due to rent its new rent: $500,000. Between North - Brooklyn [along Flatbush Ave] into Manhattan, many store's are closing, and the people don't seem worried. </span></span></b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The pipeline would go through Turkey, the Balkan's [The Republic of Macedonia & Serbia], possibly Greece then under the Adriatic sea to Italy. Aside from avoiding further disruptions from Ukraine, given the current situation & those in the near future, the pipeline would be yet another stable source of energy to Europe. The current leaders of Macedonia [especially Gruevski, who is on record as such] are against sanctions imposed on Russia, and in favor of the "Turkish Stream" pipeline. The pro-western opposition in Macedonia clearly feels otherwise, and most recently released recordings [& transcripts] of mass- illegal wiring-tapping by Gruevski's government. </span></span></b></div>

All of this causing Russia to wonder about the situation in the country, and some to speculate that outside forces may have helped in causing all this. Russian news service Tass, quoted Sergei Lavrov as saying "the Macedonian events are blatantly controlled from the outside". [2] Vladimir Choizhov, Russia's ambassador to the EU, agreed; "I don't have any hard-line facts, but its a logical suspicion" [3], he told Bloomberg TV. </span></span></b></div>

If "Turkish Stream" is implemented and goes through The Republic of Macedonia, it could be a serious catalyst for the economy, leading the country to a new era.

Of course, some artists happen to be much more aware of our world as a whole and they may place greater importance on history and politics than others. This becomes evident in their and intentions of exposing viewers to their views. And artists who chose not to wear their conscience on their canvas may give in other ways, so I prefer not to judge or dismiss work that does not address social/political awareness.

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I took a stool at the the darkly-lit bar in a medium size-room with a stage; while most of the performers mingled amongst themselves, like old friends. And as Melis Aker started her set, I slowly began to warm-up. There was certainly something pouring out of her, into the dark back-room. The lovely voice merging with poignant lyrics that obviously emanated from her passion, and some place quite private. Her compelling rendition of "A case of you" by Joni Mitchell cemented the moment, leaving all present throughly satisfied. She's certainly as talented as she is easy on the eyes. </span></span></b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">As soon as Anna/Kate took the stage and the first song commenced, something magical happened. The ukulele, passion of feelings through their voices, along with the rest of the band [Mark on Bass, Brian on Drums, & Melissa on Cello] made for a unique sound that could not be ignored. An upbeat, almost pop-sound quality to the music, yet never just saccharin, but from a laid-back personal source, laced with the pain of having lived. Love is a recurring theme, whether directly or indirectly, [there are a few love-songs on the EP] as is the nature of their [Anna/Kate's] queer-sexuality - giving the feeling of raw honesty.</span></span></b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The wait for Lily Virginia seemed too long, but certainly worth it. Having already known her music from her self-titled EP, to see her live was a thrill. She held the crowd with the power of her sound like gentle fire, poetic lyrics that allude to something unique. The music has a california vibe, folk-rock feel; light & playful like Sara Holtzschue's "Angel (For KRS)" & "For KB". But just as easy she can change pace with a track like "Yuriko", filled with potent-verses, anguish, longing joy & regret Like Patti Rothberg. Recently she made a cover of "Te Extrano" ["...a cheesy pop-song..." as she put's it], which she performed that night. And I have to say, it was really cool; her singing in Spanish, the vibe, the flow of the song. If its a cover of something cheesy, she made it beautiful. Her talent was flowing straight out of her, and filling up the room. </span></span></b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Scrolling through Facebook on Jan 24th, I saw a post about the death Shaimaa el Sabbagh; shot by police in Cairo, Egypt while taking part in a peaceful protest. The group was headed for Tahrir Square to lay flowers in memory, of Egypt's derailed revolution [the next day was its fourth anniversary]. Apparently the police were using non-lethal pellet's instead of bullets [ironically]. She was hit in the face, chest, and possibly her back. Gallantly, she was rushed away by a young man [a friend actually - Sayed Abu Elela], only to die on the sidewalk, to the horror of bystanders. A young mother, poet, a secular socialist, she was not the first person or even female to be a victim of excessive police force in Cairo. The day before Sabbagh's death, another female protester, 17-year-old Sondos Ridha, was also killed. Ridha was associated with the Muslim Brotherhood [an organization supposedly hated by the state & secular opposition alike] and the lack of publicity over her death, and others has many just as upset.</span></span></b></div>

Many restrictions were placed on women at the time, even what they could study - which lead Bell to study Modern History, receiving a first class honour's degree in two years [Oxford University, Lady Margaret Hall]. She never married, despite her beauty, intelligence, etc, but did have an unconsummated affair with Maj. Charles Doughty-Wylie, a married man [they exchanged love letter from 1913 - 1915].<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[3]</span> When he died at Gallipoli, Bell immersed herself into her work.</span></span></b></div>

She would again travel to the "Middle East" in 1899, visiting Palestine and Syria, later going to Jerusalem to Damascus in 1900 where she became acquainted with the Druze living in Jabal al-Druze.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[4] </span></span></span></b></div>

By 1909 she was in Mesopotamia, where in Carchemish she met T. E. Lawrence [one of the archaeologists on site]. Bell's initial request for Middle East Posting, at the outbreak of World War I was denied, which would see her volunteer for the Red Cross in France. It was only when the British needed to get their soldiers through the deserts, was she brought in by British intelligence. Her travels had gained her close relations with various tribal leaders across the Middle East, and also being able to have access to the chambers of their wives giving her another important perspective. In 1915 she was assigned to Army intelligence for war service [no official position]. She helped in processing data about the locations & disposition of tribes that could be induced to join the war-effort against the Ottoman Empire. </span></span></b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on February 27th, 1897 she was born to John Berkley and Annie Delilah Anderson. Like many born gifted she would be encouraged by a close relative [her Aunt], who noticed her niece's talent, and convinced her to join a junior church choir at 6 years old. Miss Anderson would perform duets & solo's, often with her aunt, and taken to concerts at local churches, the YMCA as well as benefit concerts. She would later credit her aunt's influence as the reason she pursued a singing career.</span></span></b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Local events were her first gig's - at the age of six - where she was paid 25 or 50 cent's for a few songs. Towards her early teens she began to earn as much as four or five dollars for her singing [a considerable sum at the time]. Although her family could not afford sending her to high school or pay for music lessons, her involvement in the church would change this. The directors of the "People's Chorus" and the pastor of her church [Reverend Wesley Parks], & other leaders of the black community, raised the money needed for her lessons and to go to high-school. She continued to perform and learn from anyone willing to teach her.</span></span></b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Lessons with Mary Saunders Patterson would aid her, while she attended high-school; graduating in 1921. Applying to the Philadelphia Music Academy, she was told by the woman at the admissions counter "we don't take colored". In our present time this would seem amazing to many, offensive to more [& some in Miss Anderson's time as well], but such was and still is, the hypocrisy of America. Despite this insult, miss Anderson pressed on, meeting Giuseppe Boghetti through her high school principal. She sang 'Deep River' as an audition, and he was moved to tears. Miss Anderson pursued studies privately with Giuseppe Boghetti and Agnes Reifsnyder [with support from her community]. Winning first prize in a singing competition sponsored by New York Philharmonic [1925], she would have her big-break. The prize allowed her to perform with the N.Y Philharmonic [August 26, 1925], which scored immediate success with both audience and critics. </span></span></b></div>

America will only love its artists when Europe [or other's do, because America is interested first in entertainment, not art.]. Quite a few months would be spent with Sara Charles-Cahier, which helped before a very successful European tour. </span></span></b></div>

Not everyone in those situations ends up carrying out the kinds of lives these two men did.

The leaf-less plants and trees blend nicely with the mannequin's legs; proof positive that NYC can still be odd. And yet both parts contrast and are at odds with each other. Mans lifeless creation in the midst of the creation of our creator? Her paintings have a simplicity and illustrative charm that is, in a way, unique. To look through them is to see a young artist clearly making progress. There's a lightness and gentle quality that more then likely emanates from her [most of us produce art that show aspects of our personality]. </span></span></b></div>

I also became very sensitive to the false morals the people around me were condescendingly preaching: as if they were trying to suck me into their own boring routine if I wanted to be a part of their adult world. That was the first reason. The second one involved a story that I wrote about a woman who finds out, with time, that her husband is in fact a very bad poet and that she fell for him for all the wrong reasons. After that, I started focusing the stories around the female narrator who is married and because of that is in a specific social situation.</b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">R.B: </span>Maybe, for the wrong reasons. I am critical of what is popularly perceived as women’s writing: as something sentimental, romantic, and occasionally witty – but in essence sexist, because it revolves around women wanting to please men (kind of like Sex and the City). My readers will be disappointed if this is what they were looking for. I quite consciously use grotesque elements, irony and humor to criticize social norms, so the stories are definitely not what I described above. The title of the collection itself, in a way, is a lie, because the stories are much more about wives than husbands. Still, I think it resonates more with the female audience, if anything because most of the characters in the stories are women.</b></div>

As a Brooklyn native I have a deep appreciation for the vibrant cultures that thrive throughout the borough. All of NYC is diverse but in Brooklyn, the diversity is less dispersed. There are "territories" run by certain groups of people. In East Flatbush where I was born and raised it was/is a predominately Black/Caribbean neighborhood. Bed-stuy was/is Black/American-Southern. Bensonhurst/Mil Basin was/is Russian Immigrants. Sunset park has a large Chinese community. Williamsburg was primarily a Latino community but it is now majority white. In Brooklyn there are mom and pop shops galore that offer things that are unique. The Korean store that sells every food kind from the Caribbean and Mexico. Bakeries that make the best baklavas. Learning to tolerate long commutes when traveling to Manhattan is also very Brooklyn. Favorite time was the summertime of course when Mr. Softee came around and trips to Coney Island.</b></div>

When I decided to seriously pursue "art", I initially didn't know what that meant. Did I want to be an artist or work in museums. There was no one from my community or family that I knew that was in the arts. As an adult, I thought of the arts in a more broader way but then I thought it meant museums, visual art, and European classical work. So I had to figure out what I wanted to do within the arts. I would go to the New York City Collage of Technology, receive an Associates degree in Art & Design, though still no clue in what I wanted to do.</b></span></div>

So I applied for an internship at my beloved Brooklyn Museum with no luck. I would get a rejection email and sometimes no response. So I decided to walk in there dressed nicely with my resume in hand. I walked right up to someone at the visitors counter and told them that I was interested in an internship and needed to talk with someone. Luckily, someone from the Education department was in ear-shot and took my information. The following week I was interviewed for an internship in the education department and a week after I started. I was in the education department for about 6 months and then I moved to the Curatorial department at the museum. Ultimately I decided that I wanted to continue to work in museums. I then went to Rutgers University and studied Art History with a focus on Cultural Heritage and Preservation Studies.</b></span></div>

Also, I believe that the type of activism people choose to do, should match their skills / talents / interest's, etc. That's why my activist work focuses on changing museums. I have been in the field for about 10 years and I am very passionate about museums. Museums play a role in defining and reproducing social relationships through their policies, and narrative practices. We use cultural practices generally to interact with each other and to transform ourselves and our groups. Museums reinforce social and class distinctions.</b></div>

Often these items were plundered during war and colonialization. They were initially taken as curiosities by Europeans and placed in ethnographic museums and showcased as simple/primitive cultures, opposite from, complex/modern European societies. Only in the recent century did museums begin to embrace the peculiar aesthetic properties of these works, as art, but still lesser than European works.

I like to think that I've gone through all that I have not for my own benefit, but for people to see that despite all my challenges, I pushed forward and thrived. For them to see that what sometimes appears as impossible, is very well possible. I would like people to be so inspired by my story, my fight, truly, and see that they too can create a voice for themselves and others. Whether in the arts or elsewhere. I want to be that spark, a small fiery particle. I don't believe in being a speck. A spark and a speck are both very small but a speck can be swept up and discarded. A spark has the ability to set something ablaze, start a massive fire. That spreading fire to me, is community coming together, lifting up others, being bold and brave. That fire that will continuously spread and almost impossible to extinguish.</b></span></div>
