SWEEPING TRUTH UNDER THE RUG



Between the mighty and the modest, truth is the great leveler.
Republican Senator Jeff Flake, Arizona, from his January 15th 2018 defense of truth speech on the Senate Floor



 


There is but One God.
His name is Truth; He is the Creator.
He fears none; he is without hate.
He never dies; He is beyond the cycle of births and death.
He is self-illuminated.
He is realized by the kindness of the True Guru.
He was True in the beginning;
He was True when the ages commenced and has ever been True.
He is also True now.


—Guru Nanak

ANA's STORY



A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
Aesop

As is the tradition of CoLabART projects,
it included the work of two deceased, Cuban-American artists
Felix GonzalesTorres
and Ana Mendieta,
whose work and life/death
the LA version was dedicated to.


It also included a mixedmedia work of the LA-based artist/activist/feminist Merrilyn "Cookie" Duzy
whose visage was a homage to her deceased friend and fellow artist, Norma Jean Squires

GOLEMESS IV — PROTECTRESS OF TRUTH
SITE–SPECIFIC INSTALLATION + PERFORMANCE

Lies remain lies no matter how many times you say them.
I have decided to stick with love.
Hate is too great a burden to bear.

Martin Luther King

The Making of Golemess

 




 

ANA MENDIETA



All audio files on this site are excerpts from an original sound composition IN THE BEGINNING especially created by the artists for their Golemess installations.

Realized in collaboration with the musician, sound designer and voice artist, Stephen G. Scott of Pinnacle Audio Group this composition is the audio facet to
THE KABBALIST
a computer interactive, multimedia performance workinprogress.

We hope to produce THE KABBALIST performance work in major cities in the United States and Europe.
At each performance site, we plan to collaborate with visual artists, writers, educators, musicians, choreographers/dancers, stage designers, etc.

In the spirit of collaboration, we welcome your thoughts and ideas.
Please drop us a line if you have contributions, suggestions, comments or wish to be involved in CoLabART Productions.

 

 



Intertwined within the fabric

Threads of many colors

Savored for the moment

Our place in the universe



Man is but a strand
in the web of life
