Shea Hembrey: How I became 100 artists

Prevoditelj: Marko Balen Recezent: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

I'm a contemporary artist

Ja sam suvremeni umjetnik

with a bit of an unexpected background.

iz pomalo neuobičajene sredine.

I was in my 20s before I ever went to an art museum.

Već sam bio u 20-ima kad sam prvi put kročio u muzej.

I grew up in the middle of nowhere

Odrastao sam usred ničega,

on a dirt road in rural Arkansas,

na prašnjavoj cesti u ruralnom Arkansasu,

an hour from the nearest movie theater.

sat vremena udaljen od najbližeg kina.

And I think it was a great place to grow up as an artist

Mislim da je za umjetnika to sjajno mjesto za odrastanje,

because I grew up around quirky, colorful characters

jer oko mene su živjeli osebujni, slikoviti likovi

who were great at making with their hands.

koji su bili sjajni u izrađivanju stvari rukama.

And my childhood is more hick

Moje je djetinjstvo više seljačko

than I could ever possibly relate to you,

nego što bih vam ikad mogao prenijeti,

and also more intellectual than you would ever expect.

ali i mnogo intelektualnije nego što biste očekivali.

For instance, me and my sister, when we were little,

Na primjer, kad smo sestra i ja bili maleni,

we would compete to see who could eat the most squirrel brains.

natjecali smo se u jedenju vjeveričjih mozgova.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

But on the other side of that, though,

Ali s druge strane,

we were big readers in our house.

svi su doma obožavali čitati.

And if the TV was on, we were watching a documentary.

Ako je televizor bio upaljen, gledali smo dokumentarce.

And my dad is the most voracious reader I know.

Moj je tata najgorljiviji čitatelj kojeg poznajem.

He can read a novel or two a day.

Dnevno pročita roman ili dva.

But when I was little, I remember,

Ali kad sam bio malen, sjećam se,

he would kill flies in our house with my BB gun.

ubijao bi muhe u kući mojom zračnom puškom.

And what was so amazing to me about that --

Ono što mi je bilo nevjerojatno kod toga --

well he would be in his recliner, would holler for me to fetch the BB gun,

izvalio bi se u naslonjaču, doviknuo mi da donesem zračnicu,

and I'd go get it.

i ja bih otišao po nju.

And what was amazing to me --

Bilo mi je nevjerojatno to što --

well it was pretty kickass; he was killing a fly in the house with a gun --

pa, bilo je zakon. Puškom je ubijao muhe u kući,

but what was so amazing to me

ali genijalno mi je bilo

was that he knew just enough how to pump it.

to što je točno znao koliko je treba napumpati.

And he could shoot it from two rooms away

Pucao bi udaljen dvije sobe

and not damage what it was on

i ne bi oštetio ono na čemu se nalazila,

because he knew how to pump it just enough to kill the fly

jer je znao naciljati da ubije muhu

and not damage what it landed on.

i ne ošteti ono na što je sletjela.

So I should talk about art.

Trebao bih govoriti o umjetnosti.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Or we'll be here all day with my childhood stories.

Inače ćete cijeli dan slušati o mom djetinjstvu.

I love contemporary art,

Volim suvremenu umjetnost,

but I'm often really frustrated with the contemporary art world

ali često sam frustriran svijetom suvremene umjetnosti

and the contemporary art scene.

i suvremenom umjetničkom scenom.

A few years ago,

Prije nekoliko godina,

I spent months in Europe

proveo sam nekoliko mjeseci u Europi

to see the major international art exhibitions

kako bih posjetio najvažnije međunarodne izložbe

that have the pulse

koje utjelovljuju

of what is supposed to be going on in the art world.

ono što bi se trebalo zbivati u svijetu umjetnosti.

And I was struck

Na koncu sam,

by going to so many, one after the other,

nakon toliko izložbi,

with some clarity of what it was

dobio poprilično jasnu sliku

that I was longing for.

onoga za čime sam žudio.

And I was longing for several things that I wasn't getting,

Žudio sam za nekoliko stvari kojih nije bilo

or not getting enough of.

ili ih nije bilo dovoljno.

But two of the main things:

Ovo su dvije glavne stvari:

one of it, I was longing for more work

Prvo, žudio sam za više radova

that was appealing to a broad public,

koji se obraćaju široj publici,

that was accessible.

koji su dostupni.

And the second thing that I was longing for

Druga stvar koju sam želio

was some more exquisite craftsmanship

bila je više dojmljive izrade

and technique.

i tehnike.

So I started thinking and listing

Tako sam počeo razmišljati i popisivati

what all it was that I thought would make a perfect biennial.

što bi, po meni, trebao sadržavati savršeni bijenale.

So I decided,

Odlučio sam,

I'm going to start my own biennial.

pokrenut ću vlastiti bijenale.

I'm going to organize it and direct it

Organizirat ću ga i režirati

and get it going in the world.

i predstaviti ga svijetu.

So I thought, okay,

Pomislio sam, dobro,

I have to have some criteria of how to choose work.

moram imati neke kriterije za odabir radova.

So amongst all the criteria I have,

Među svim kriterijima koje imam,

there's two main things.

dvije su stvari ključne.

One of them, I call my Mimaw's Test.

Prva je od njih ono što zovem baba-test.

And what that is

To je zapravo

is I imagine explaining a work of art

onda kad zamislim da objašnjavam djelo

to my grandmother in five minutes,

svojoj baki u pet minuta.

and if I can't explain it in five minutes,

Ne uspijem li ga objasniti u tom roku,

then it's too obtuse

znači da je previše zakučasto

or esoteric

i nerazumljivo

and it hasn't been refined enough yet.

i još nije dovoljno pročišćeno.

It needs to worked on

Na njemu treba raditi

until it can speak fluently.

dok ne progovori tečno.

And then my other second set of rules --

Moj drugi skup pravila --

I hate to say "rules" because it's art --

mrzim riječ ''pravila'' kad je riječ o umjetnosti.

my criteria would be

Moji su kriteriji

the three H's,

GSR.

which is head, heart and hands.

To jest, glava, srce i ruke.

And great art would have "head":

Sjajna umjetnost treba imati glavu,

it would have interesting intellectual ideas

zanimljive intelektualne ideje

and concepts.

i koncepte.

It would have "heart" in that it would have passion

Treba imati srce, to jest strast,

and heart and soul.

srce i dušu.

And it would have "hand" in that it would be greatly crafted.

Treba imati ruke, to jest sjajnu izradu.

So I started thinking about

Počeo sam razmišljati o tome

how am I going to do this biennial,

kako ću organizirati ovaj bijenale

how am I going to travel the world

i putovati svijetom

and find these artists?

u potrazi za tim umjetnicima.

And then I realized one day, there's an easier solution to this.

Potom sam shvatio da postoji jednostavnije rješenje.

I'm just going to make the whole thing myself.

Sve ću sam napraviti.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And so this is what I did.

To sam i učinio.

So I thought, a biennial needs artists.

Pomislio sam, bijenale treba umjetnike.

I'm going to do an international biennial; I need artists from all around the world.

Budući da je to međunarodni bijenale, trebaju mi umjetnici iz cijelog svijeta.

So what I did was

U skladu s time,

I invented a hundred artists from around the world.

izmislio sam stotinu umjetnika iz cijelog svijeta.

I figured out their bios, their passions in life

Razvio sam im životopise, životne strasti

and their art styles,

i umjetničke stilove,

and I started making their work.

te počeo raditi na njihovim djelima.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

I felt, oh this is the kind of project that I could spend my whole life doing.

Osjetio sam da bi ovo mogao biti cjeloživotni projekt.

So I decided, I'm going to make this a real biennial.

Zato sam odlučio da ovo bude pravi bijenale,

It's going to be two years of studio work.

dvije godine umjetničkog rada.

And I'm going to create this in two years,

Stvorit ću to u dvije godine.

and I have.

I jesam.

So I should start to talk about these guys.

Trebao bih početi govoriti o tim ljudima.

Well the range is quite a bit.

Poprilično su raznoliki.

And I'm such a technician, so I loved this project,

Kao ljubitelju tehnike, svidio mi se projekt,

getting to play with all the techniques.

prilika da se igram sa svim tehnikama.

So for example, in realist paintings,

Na primjer, realističke slike

it ranges from this,

kreću se od ovoga,

which is kind of old masters style,

otprilike stila starih majstora,

to really realistic still-life,

preko zaista realističke mrtve prirode,

to this type of painting where I'm painting with a single hair.

do ovakve slike koju slikam kistom od jedne dlake.

And then at the other end, there's performance and short films

S druge strane, postoje performansi i kratki filmovi,

and indoor installations

unutarnje instalacije

like this indoor installation

poput ove

and this one,

i ove.

and outdoor installations like this one

Vanjske instalacije poput ove

and this one.

i ove.

I know I should mention: I'm making all these things.

Trebao bih napomenuti da sve sam stvaram.

This isn't Photoshopped.

Ovo nije fotošopirano.

I'm under the river with those fish.

Na dnu sam rijeke s ovim ribama.

So now let me introduce some of my fictional artists to you.

Sad ću vam predstaviti neke od svojih fiktivnih umjetnika.

This is Nell Remmel.

Ovo je Nell Remmel.

Nell is interested in agricultural processes,

Nell zanimaju procesi u agrikulturi,

and her work is based in these practices.

i njezin je rad baziran na tim praksama.

This piece, which is called "Flipped Earth" --

Ovo se djelo zove ''Preokrenuta Zemlja''.

she was interested in taking the sky

Namjera joj je bila uzeti nebo

and using it to cleanse barren ground.

i poslužiti se njime da obnovi jalovo tlo.

And by taking giant mirrors --

Uz pomoć divovskih zrcala --

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

and here she's taking giant mirrors

Ovdje uzima divovska zrcala

and pulling them into the dirt.

i postavlja ih u zemlju.

And this is 22 feet long.

Ovo je dugačko 6,7 metara.

And what I loved about her work

Kod njezinog mi se rada svidjelo,

is, when I would walk around it

kad bih hodao oko njega,

and look down into the sky,

i gledao dolje u nebo,

looking down to watch the sky,

gledao u tlo da vidim nebo,

and it unfolded in a new way.

ono bi mi se otkrilo na nov način.

And probably the best part of this piece

Vjerojatno najbolji dio ovog komada

is at dusk and dawn

vidljiv je u sumrak i zoru,

when the twilight wedge has fallen and the ground's dark,

kad je Sunce gotovo zašlo i tlo je mračno,

but there's still the light above, bright above.

ali odozgo još dolazi svjetlost.

And so you're standing there and everything else is dark,

Stojite ondje i sve je u tami,

but there's this portal that you want to jump in.

ali postoji portal u koji želite uskočiti.

This piece was great. This is in my parents' backyard in Arkansas.

Ovo je sjajno djelo. U Arkansasu je, u dvorištu mojih roditelja.

And I love to dig a hole.

A ja volim kopati rupe.

So this piece was great fun

Zato je ovo djelo bilo zabavno,

because it was two days of digging in soft dirt.

sastojalo se od dva dana laganog kopanja.

The next artist is Kay Overstry,

Iduća je umjetnica Kay Overstry,

and she's interested in ephemerality and transience.

čiji su interesi kratkotrajnost i prolaznost.

And in her most recent project,

Ovo je njezin najnoviji projekt,

it's called "Weather I Made."

nazvan ''Vrijeme koje sam stvorila''.

And she's making weather

Ona stvara vrijeme

on her body's scale.

u opsegu vlastita tijela.

And this piece is "Frost."

Ovo je djelo ''Mraz''.

And what she did was she went out on a cold, dry night

Jedne je hladne i suhe noći izašla

and breathed back and forth on the lawn

i disala po travnjaku

to leave --

kako bi ostavila

to leave her life's mark,

svoj životni trag,

the mark of her life.

trag svojega daha.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

And so this is five-foot, five-inches of frost

Ovo je 1,6 metara mraza

that she left behind.

koji je ostavila iza sebe.

The sun rises, and it melts away.

Pošto je Sunce izašlo, mraz se otopio.

And that was played by my mom.

To je glumila moja mama.

So the next artist, this is a group of Japanese artists,

Iduća je grupa japanskih umjetnika,

a collective of Japanese artists --

skupina umjetnika iz Japana --

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

in Tokyo.

iz Tokija.

And they were interested in developing a new, alternative art space,

Zanimalo ih je stvaranje alternativnog umjetničkog prostora.

and they needed funding for it,

Za to su im trebala sredstva,

so they decided to come up with some interesting fundraising projects.

pa su odlučili razviti zanimljive projekte za prikupljanje sredstava.

One of these is scratch-off masterpieces.

Jedan od njih su remek-djela na struganje.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And so what they're doing --

Ono što su napravili --

each of these artists on a nine-by-seven-inch card,

svaki je umjetnik na kartici veličine 22x17 cm,

which they sell for 10 bucks,

koju su prodavali za 10 dolara,

they drew original works of art.

nacrtao originalno umjetničko djelo.

And you buy one, and maybe you get a real piece, and maybe not.

Kupiš karticu i možda dobiješ remek-djelo, a možda i ne.

Well this has sparked a craze in Japan,

To je izazvalo ludnicu u Japanu,

because everyone's wanting a masterpiece.

jer svi su htjeli remek-djelo.

And the ones that are the most sought after

Kartice koje su bile najtraženije

are the ones that are only barely scratched off.

one su koje su najmanje ostrugane.

And all these works, in some way,

Sva ta djela, na ovaj ili onaj način,

talk about luck or fate or chance.

govore o sreći, sudbini ili slučajnosti.

Those first two

Ove prve dvije

are portraits of mega-jackpot winners years before and after their win.

portreti su dobitnika na lutriji godinama prije i nakon dobitka.

And in this one it's called "Drawing the Short Stick."

Ovaj se zove ''Izvući kraću slamku''.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I love this piece because I have a little cousin at home

Volim ovo djelo jer imam malu rođakinju doma

who introduced me -- which I think is such a great introduction --

koja me predstavila, i to na sjajan način,

to a friend one day as, "This is my cousin Shea.

jednom prijatelju. ''Ovo je moj rođak Shea.

He draws sticks real good."

Crta štapove zbilja dobro.''

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Which is one of the best compliments ever.

To je jedan od najboljih komplimenata.

This artist is Gus Weinmueller,

Ovaj je umjetnik Gus Weinmueller,

and he's doing a project, a large project, called "Art for the Peoples."

koji radi na velikom projektu pod nazivom ''Umjetnost za ljude''.

And within this project, he's doing a smaller project

U sklopu tog projekta radi na manjem projektu

called "Artists in Residence."

nazvanom ''Umjetnici u boravku''.

And what he does is --

Ono što radi --

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

he spends a week at a time with a family.

on provede tjedan dana s nekom obitelji.

And he shows up on their porch, their doorstep,

Pojavi im se na trijemu ili pragu

with a toothbrush and pajamas,

s četkicom za zube i pidžamom

and he's ready to spend the week with them.

i spreman je provesti tjedan s njima.

And using only what's present,

Služeći se samo onime što se ondje nalazi,

he goes in and makes a little abode studio to work out of.

uđe i stvori mali privremeni atelje u kojem radi.

And he spends that week talking to the family

Provede tjedan razgovarajući s obitelji

about what do they think great art is.

o tome što je po njima sjajna umjetnost.

He has all these discussions with their family,

S obitelji raspravlja o tome.

and he digs through everything they have,

Kopa po svemu što oni imaju

and he finds materials to make work.

i pronalazi materijale za rad.

And he makes a work

Stvori djelo

that answers what they think great art is.

koje odgovara njihovom pojmu sjajne umjetnosti.

For this family, he made this still-life painting.

Za ovu je obitelj napravio ovu sliku mrtve prirode.

And whatever he makes

Svako njegovo djelo

somehow references nesting and space

na neki način ima veze s gniježđenjem, prostorom

and personal property.

i osobnim vlasništvom.

This next project,

Idući je projekt

this is by Jaochim Parisvega,

djelo Jaochima Parisvege.

and he's interested in --

Njega zanima --

he believes art is everywhere waiting --

vjeruje da umjetnost čeka posvuda,

that it just needs a little bit of a push to happen.

da je samo treba malo pogurnuti da se ostvari.

And he provides this push by harnessing natural forces,

On to radi služeći se silama prirode,

like in his series where he used rain to make paintings.

kao u ovoj seriji gdje je slikao uz pomoć kiše.

This project is called "Love Nests."

Ovaj se projekt zove ''Ljubavna gnijezda''.

What he did was to get wild birds to make his art for him.

Iskoristio je ptice iz divljine da rade umjesto njega.

So he put the material in places where the birds were going to collect them,

Ostavio je materijal na mjestima gdje će ga ptice skupiti

and they crafted his nests for him.

i stvoriti gnijezda umjesto njega.

And this one's called "Lovelock's Nest."

Ovo se zove ''Gnijezdo ljubavi''.

This one's called "Mixtape Love Song's Nest."

Ovo se zove ''Gnijezdo ljubavnih pjesama''.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And this one's called "Lovemaking Nest."

Ovo se zove ''Gnijezdo vođenja ljubavi''.

(Laughted)

(Smijeh)

Next is Sylvia Slater.

Iduća je Sylvia Slater.

Sylvia's interested in art training.

Sylviju zanima obuka u umjetnosti.

She's a very serious Swiss artist.

Ona je vrlo ozbiljna švicarska umjetnica.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And she was thinking about her friends and family

Mislila je na svoje prijatelje i obitelj

who work in chaos-ridden places and developing countries,

koji rade na kaotičnim mjestima i zemljama u razvoju

and she was thinking,

i razmišljala

what can I make that would be of value to them,

što im ona vrijedno može izraditi,

in case something bad happens

u slučaju da nešto pođe po zlu

and they have to buy their way across the border

i oni moraju platiti da prijeđu granicu

or pay off a gunman?

ili potplatiti odmetnike.

And so she came up with creating

Palo joj je na pamet da stvori

these pocket-sized artworks

ove umjetnine džepne veličine

that are portraits of the person that would carry them.

koje su portreti osobe koja ih nosi.

And you would carry this around with you,

Ovo biste nosili sa sobom,

and if everything went to hell, you could make payments

a ako bi sve otišlo kvragu, imali biste sredstva

and buy your life.

da otkupite svoj život.

So this life price

Ovo je cijena života

is for an irrigation non-profit director.

direktora neprofitnog sustava za navodnjavanje.

So hopefully what happens is you never use it,

Uz malo sreće, nikad je nećete upotrijebiti

and it's an heirloom that you pass down.

i postat će dio vašeg naslijeđa.

And she makes them so they could either be broken up into payments,

Izradila ih je tako da se mogu razbiti u komade

or they could be like these, which are leaves that can be payments.

ili mogu biti poput ovog lišća koje služi kao sredstvo plaćanja.

And so they're valuable. This is precious metals and gemstones.

Vrijedno je, izrađeno od dragocjenih metala i dragulja.

And this one had to get broken up.

Ovaj je morao biti rastavljen.

He had to break off a piece to get out of Egypt recently.

Nedavno je morao odlomiti komad da izađe iz Egipta.

This is by a duo, Michael Abernathy and Bud Holland.

Ovo je djelo dua, Michaela Abernathyja i Buda Hollanda.

And they're interested in creating culture,

Njih zanima stvaranje kulture,

just tradition.

sama tradicija.

So what they do is they move into an area

Oni se dosele na neko područje

and try to establish a new tradition in a small geographic area.

i pokušaju osnovati novu tradiciju na malom prostoru.

So this is in Eastern Tennessee,

Ovo je u istočnom Tennesseeju.

and what they decided was

Odlučili su

that we need a positive tradition

da nam je potrebna pozitivna tradicija

that goes with death.

povezana sa smrću.

So they came up with "dig jigs."

Tako su izmislili grobne plesove.

And a dig jig --

Grobni ples --

a dig jig is where,

grobni je ples kada,

for a milestone anniversary or a birthday,

za važniju obljetnicu ili rođendan,

you gather all your friends and family together

skupite sve svoje prijatelje i obitelj

and you dance on where you're going to be buried.

i plešete na mjestu gdje ćete biti pokopani.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And we got a lot of attention when we did it.

Privukli smo mnogo pozornosti dok smo to radili.

I talked my family into doing this, and they didn't know what I was doing.

Nagovorio sam svoju obitelj da sudjeluje, ali nisu znali što radim.

And I was like, "Get dressed for a funeral. We're going to go do some work."

Samo sam im rekao: ''Spremite se za sprovod. Idemo na posao.''

And so we got to the grave and made this, which was hilarious --

Došli smo do groba i izveli ovo, bilo je presmiješno --

the attention that we got.

sva ta pozornost koju smo privukli.

So what happens is you dance on the grave,

Potom plešete na grobu.

and after you've done your dance,

Nakon što otplešete,

everyone toasts you and tells you how great you are.

svi vam nazdrave i kažu vam koliko ste sjajni.

And you in essence have a funeral

U biti, imate sprovod

that you get to be present for.

na kojem možete sudjelovati.

That's my mom and dad.

Ovo su moji mama i tata.

This is by Jason Birdsong.

Ovo je djelo Jasona Birdsonga.

He is interested in how we see as an animal,

Interesira ga kako gledamo poput životinja,

how we are interested in mimicry and camouflage.

kako nas zanimaju mimikrija i kamuflaža.

You know, we look down a dark alley

Znate, gledamo niz tamnu uličicu

or a jungle path,

ili stazu u džungli,

trying to make out a face or a creature.

pokušavajući razaznati lice ili lik.

We just have that natural way of seeing.

To je naš prirodan način promatranja.

And he plays with this idea.

On se igra tom idejom.

And this piece: those aren't actually leaves.

Ovo zapravo nije lišće.

They're butterfly specimens who have a natural camouflage.

Radi se o leptirima s prirodnom kamuflažom.

So he pairs these up.

On ih potom spoji.

There's another pile of leaves.

Evo još jedne hrpe lišća.

Those are actually all real butterfly specimens.

Ovo su zapravo sve leptiri.

And he pairs these up with paintings.

Njih spaja sa slikama.

Like this is a painting of a snake in a box.

Ovo je slika zmije u kutiji.

So you open the box and you think, "Whoa, there's a snake in there."

Kad otvoriš kutiju, pomisliš da je unutra zmija.

But it's actually a painting.

Ali to je zapravo slika.

So he makes these interesting conversations

Potiče zanimljive razgovore

about realism and mimicry

o realizmu i mimikriji

and our drive to be fooled by great camouflage.

i našem porivu da nas zavara sjajna kamuflaža.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

The next artist is Hazel Clausen.

Iduća je umjetnica Hazel Clausen.

Hazel Clausen is an anthropologist who took a sabbatical

Hazel je antropologinja na dopustu

and decided, "You know, I would learn a lot about culture

koja je shvatila da bi mnogo naučila o kulturi

if I created a culture that doesn't exist from scratch."

da od temelja stvori novu kulturu.

So that's what she did.

To je i učinila.

She created the Swiss people named the Uvulites,

Stvorila je švicarski narod po imenu Uvuliti

and they have this distinctive yodeling song

koji su poznati po svom jodlanju

that they use the uvula for.

za koje koriste uvulu.

And also they reference how the uvula --

Govore o tome kako uvula --

everything they say is fallen

sve što kažu je nečasno

because of the forbidden fruit.

zbog zabranjenog voća.

And that's the symbol of their culture.

To je simbol njihove kulture.

And this is from a documentary

Ovo je iz dokumentarca

called "Sexual Practices and Populations Control

pod nazivom ''Seksualni običaji i kontrola stanovništva

Among the Uvulites."

kod Uvulita.''

This is a typical angora embroidery for them.

Ovo je njihov tipični vez od angore.

This is one of their founders, Gert Schaeffer.

Ovo je jedna od osnivačica naroda, Gert Schaeffer.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And actually this is my Aunt Irene.

To je zapravo moja teta Irene.

It was so funny having a fake person

Bilo je tako zabavno imati lažnu osobu

who was making fake things.

koja radi lažne stvari.

And I crack up at this piece,

Uvijek se smijem ovom djelu,

because when I see it I know that's French angora

jer znam da se radi o francuskoj angori,

and all antique German ribbons

antiknim njemačkim vrpcama
