Shea Hembrey: How I became 100 artists

Prevodilac: Ivana Kuzmanov Lektor: Ivana Korom

I'm a contemporary artist

Ja sam savremeni umetnik

with a bit of an unexpected background.

iz pomalo neuobičajene sredine.

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

Bio sam u kasnim 20-im kada sam prvi put posetio galeriju.

I grew up in the middle of nowhere

Odrastao sam u nedođiji

on a dirt road in rural Arkansas,

na seoskom putu u ruralnom Arkanzasu,

an hour from the nearest movie theater.

sat vremena udaljenom od najbližeg bioskopa.

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

I mislim da je to odlično mesto za odrastanje jednog umetnika,

because I grew up around quirky, colorful characters

jer sam odrastao okružen osobenim i živopisnim likovima

who were great at making with their hands.

koji su bili vešti u ručnoj izradi stvari.

And my childhood is more hick

I moje detinjstvo je bilo više seljačko

than I could ever possibly relate to you,

nego što bih vam ikada mogao preneti,

and also more intellectual than you would ever expect.

ali takođe i intelektualnije nego što biste ikada očekivali.

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

Na primer, moja sestra i ja kada smo bili mali,

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

takmičili smo se u jedenju mozgova veverica.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

But on the other side of that, though,

Međutim sa druge strane,

we were big readers in our house.

svi smo obožavali da čitamo u našoj kući.

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

Ako je televizor bio uključen, gledali bismo dokumentarac.

And my dad is the most voracious reader I know.

Moj otac je najstrastveniji čitalac kojeg ja poznajem.

He can read a novel or two a day.

Dnevno pročita roman ili dva.

But when I was little, I remember,

Ali sećam se da je kada sam bio mali

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

ubijao muve u našoj kući vazdušnom puškom.

And what was so amazing to me about that --

Ali ono što je bilo neverovatno u vezi sa tim je-

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

to što bi iz svoje fotelje viknuo da mu donesem vazdušnu pušku,

and I'd go get it.

i ja bih mu je doneo.

And what was amazing to me --

I bilo mi je neverovatno,

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

zapravo bilo je super, to što je ubijao muve puškom po kući,

but what was so amazing to me

ali ono što je meni bilo toliko neverovatno je

was that he knew just enough how to pump it.

da je znao tačno koliko da je napuni.

And he could shoot it from two rooms away

A mogao je da je upuca i kada je dve sobe dalje,

and not damage what it was on

a da ne ošteti ono na čemu je,

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

jer je znao tačno koliko da je napuni da bi ubio muvu,

and not damage what it landed on.

a da ne ošteti mesto gde je sletela.

So I should talk about art.

Trebalo bi da govorim o umetnosti.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Ili ćemo ostati ovde ceo dan uz moje priče iz detinjstva.

I love contemporary art,

Volim savremenu umetnost,

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

ali me često frustrira svet savremene umetnosti

and the contemporary art scene.

i savremena umetnička scena.

A few years ago,

Pre nekoliko godina,

I spent months in Europe

proveo sam nekoliko meseci u Evropi

to see the major international art exhibitions

da bih video glavne međunarodne umetničke izložbe

that have the pulse

koje imaju puls

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

onoga što bi trebalo da se događa u umetničkom svetu.

And I was struck

I dobio sam,

by going to so many, one after the other,

posle brojnih, uzastopnih poseta,

with some clarity of what it was

jasnu ideju o tome šta je to

that I was longing for.

za čim sam žudeo.

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

A žudeo sam za nekoliko stvari koje nisam dobijao,

or not getting enough of.

ili bar ne u dovoljnoj meri.

But two of the main things:

Ovo su dve glavne stvari:

one of it, I was longing for more work

prvo, žudeo sam za više radova

that was appealing to a broad public,

koji se obraćaju široj javnosti,

that was accessible.

koji bi bili razumljivi.

And the second thing that I was longing for

Druga stvar za kojom sam žudeo

was some more exquisite craftsmanship

bila je impresivnija izrada

and technique.

i tehnika.

So I started thinking and listing

Tako sam počeo da razmišljam i popisujem

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

šta je to što bi po mom mišljenju činilo savršen bijenale.

So I decided,

Tako sam odlučio

I'm going to start my own biennial.

da započnem sopstveni bijenale.

I'm going to organize it and direct it

Organizovaću ga i voditi ga,

and get it going in the world.

i pokrenuti ga u svetu.

So I thought, okay,

Zatim sam pomislio, dobro,

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

moram da imam određeni kriterijum za odabir dela.

So amongst all the criteria I have,

Među svim kriterijumima koje imam,

there's two main things.

dve stvari su glavne.

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

Jedna od njih je ono što ja nazivam Baba-test.

And what that is

A to je

is I imagine explaining a work of art

da ja zamišljam kako objašnjavam umetničko delo

to my grandmother in five minutes,

mojoj babi tokom pet minuta.

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

Ako ne mogu da ga objasnim za pet minuta,

then it's too obtuse

to znači da je previše glupo

or esoteric

ili ezoterično

and it hasn't been refined enough yet.

i da nije još dovoljno pročišćeno.

It needs to worked on

Potrebno je još raditi na njemu

until it can speak fluently.

dok ne progovori tečno.

And then my other second set of rules --

Zatim moj drugi skup pravila --

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

mrzim da kažem "pravila" jer je to umetnost --

my criteria would be

moj kriterijum bio bi

the three H's,

tri slova: GSR,

which is head, heart and hands.

koja označavaju glavu, srce i ruke.

And great art would have "head":

Kvalitetna umetnost treba da ima glavu:

it would have interesting intellectual ideas

interesantne intelektualne ideje

and concepts.

i koncepte.

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

Treba da ima srce, tj. strast,

and heart and soul.

kao i srce i dušu.

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

I treba da ima ruke u smislu da je vešto izrađena.

So I started thinking about

Tako sam ja počeo da razmišljam

how am I going to do this biennial,

kako ću ja da priredim ovaj bijenale.

how am I going to travel the world

da putujem po svetu

and find these artists?

i pronađem ove umetnike.

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

A zatim sam jednoga dana shvatio da postoji lakše rešenje.

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

Sam ću da osmislim čitavu stvar.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And so this is what I did.

Evo šta sam uradio.

So I thought, a biennial needs artists.

Razmišljao sam, za bijenale su potrebni umetnici.

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

Moj bijenale će biti međunarodni, te su mi potrebni umetnici iz celog sveta.

So what I did was

U skladu sa tim

I invented a hundred artists from around the world.

izmislio sam stotinu umetnika iz celog sveta

I figured out their bios, their passions in life

smislio njihove biografije, životne strasti

and their art styles,

i njihove umetničke stilove,

and I started making their work.

i započeo izradu njihovih radova.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

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

Osetio sam da je ovo vrsta projekta na kojoj bih mogao da radim ceo život.

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

Odlučio sam da ću od ovoga napraviti stvarni bijenale.

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

Biće to dve godine umetničkog posla.

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

Stvoriću to za dve godine.

and I have.

I jesam.

So I should start to talk about these guys.

Trebalo bi da počnem da pričam o ovim ljudima.

Well the range is quite a bit.

Poprilično su različiti.

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

Pošto sam vičan raznim tehnikama, dopao mi se projekat,

getting to play with all the techniques.

ta prilika da se igram sa različitim tehnikama.

So for example, in realist paintings,

Na primer, na slikama realista,

it ranges from this,

kreću se od ovakve,

which is kind of old masters style,

naslikane u stilu 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 ove vrste slike gde slikam četkicom sa jednom dlakom.

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

S druge strane, postoje performansi i kratki filmovi,

and indoor installations

unutrašnje instalacije,

like this indoor installation

poput ove,

and this one,

ili ove,

and outdoor installations like this one

i spoljašnje instalacije poput ove

and this one.

i ove.

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

Trebalo bi da napomenem da sve ovo sam stvaram.

This isn't Photoshopped.

Ovo nije obrađeno u fotošopu.

I'm under the river with those fish.

Ja sam pod vodom sa ovim ribama.

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

Dozvolite mi da vam predstavim neke od svojih fiktivnih umetnika.

This is Nell Remmel.

Ovo je Nel Remel.

Nell is interested in agricultural processes,

Nel se interesuje za poljoprivredne procese,

and her work is based in these practices.

i njen rad je baziran na ovakvim praksama.

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

Ovo delo se zove "Preokrenuta Zemlja" --

she was interested in taking the sky

Želela je da uzme nebo

and using it to cleanse barren ground.

i njime pročisti jalovo tlo.

And by taking giant mirrors --

Pomoću ogromnih ogledala --

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

and here she's taking giant mirrors

Ovde uzima džinovska ogledala

and pulling them into the dirt.

i uronjava ih u zemlju.

And this is 22 feet long.

Ovo je dugačko 6,7 metara.

And what I loved about her work

Ono što mi se dopalo u njenom radu je

is, when I would walk around it

kada bih šetao oko njega

and look down into the sky,

i pogledao dole u nebo,

looking down to watch the sky,

gledao dole da bih gledao nebo,

and it unfolded in a new way.

ono bi mi se prikazalo na nov način.

And probably the best part of this piece

Verovatno je ovo delo najbolje

is at dusk and dawn

u sumrak ili zoru

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

kada se sumrak spustio i tlo je tamno,

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

ali odozgo još dolazi svetlost,

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

Stojite tamo i sve ostalo je u tami,

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

ali postoji taj portal u koji želite da uskočite.

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

Ovo delo je sjajno. U Arkanzasu je u dvorištu mojih roditelja.

And I love to dig a hole.

A ja volim da kopam rupe.

So this piece was great fun

Zato je ovo delo bilo zabavno,

because it was two days of digging in soft dirt.

jer se sastojalo od dva dana kopanja mekane zemlje.

The next artist is Kay Overstry,

Sledeća umetnica je Kej Overstri,

and she's interested in ephemerality and transience.

koja se bavi prolaznošću i kratkotrajnošću.

And in her most recent project,

U njenom najnovijem projektu

it's called "Weather I Made."

nazvanom "Vreme koje sam stvorila"

And she's making weather

Ona stvara vreme

on her body's scale.

u opsegu svoga tela.

And this piece is "Frost."

Ovo delo se naziva "Mraz".

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

Jedne hladne, suve noći izašla je

and breathed back and forth on the lawn

i disala na travnjaku

to leave --

da bi ostavila --

to leave her life's mark,

trag svog života.

the mark of her life.

trag svog daha.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

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

Ovo je 1,6 metara mraza

that she left behind.

koji je ostavila za sobom.

The sun rises, and it melts away.

Sunce izađe i on se otopi.

And that was played by my mom.

To je glumila moja mama.

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

Sledeći umetnik je zapravo grupa japanskih umetnika,

a collective of Japanese artists --

kolektiv japanskih umetnika --

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

in Tokyo.

u Tokiju.

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

Želeli su da osnuju novi, alternativni umetnički prostor.

and they needed funding for it,

Za to im je trebao novac,

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

pa su odlučili da sprovedu veoma interesantne projekte za prikupljanje novca.

One of these is scratch-off masterpieces.

Jedno od tih greb-greb remek-dela

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And so what they're doing --

Dakle, šta su radili --

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

svaki od njih na kartici dimenzija 22 sa 17 centimetara

which they sell for 10 bucks,

koje prodaju za deset dolara,

they drew original works of art.

nacrtao je originalno umetničko delo.

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

Kada kupite jednu, možda ćete dobiti originalno delo, 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 su svi želeli remek-delo.

And the ones that are the most sought after

Najtraženija dela bila su ona

are the ones that are only barely scratched off.

koja su retko bila izgrebana.

And all these works, in some way,

Sva ova dela na neki način

talk about luck or fate or chance.

govore o sreći, sudbini ili slučajnosti.

Those first two

Ove prve dve su

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

portreti dobitnika na lutriji godinama pre i posle dobitka.

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

Ovo delo se zove "Izvući kraću slamku."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Volim ovo delo jer imam malu rođaku kod kuće

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

koja me je predstavila--što smatram sjajnim predstavljanjem --

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

svom drugaru "Ovo je moj rođak Šej.

He draws sticks real good."

On odlično crta štapove."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Which is one of the best compliments ever.

Što je od najboljih komplimenata.

This artist is Gus Weinmueller,

Ovo je umetnik Gas Vajnmiler,

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

koji radi na velikom projektu "Umetnost za narode."

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

U okviru ovog projekta, on radi manji projekat

called "Artists in Residence."

pod nazivom "Boravište umetnika."

And what he does is --

Ono što radi --

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

he spends a week at a time with a family.

on provede nedelju dana sa porodicom.

And he shows up on their porch, their doorstep,

Pojavi se na njihovom tremu, pragu,

with a toothbrush and pajamas,

sa četkicom za zube i pidžamom,

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

i spreman je da provede nedelju dana sa njima.

And using only what's present,

Koristeći samo ono što se tamo nalazi,

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

uđe i napravi mali privremeni atelje u kojem radi.

And he spends that week talking to the family

provede tu nedelju u razgovoru sa porodicom

about what do they think great art is.

o tome šta oni misle da je sjajna umetnost.

He has all these discussions with their family,

On raspravlja sa porodicom.

and he digs through everything they have,

Kopa po svemu što oni imaju,

and he finds materials to make work.

i nalazi materijal za svoj rad.

And he makes a work

Stvori delo koje

that answers what they think great art is.

odgovara na pitanje šta oni misle da je sjajna umetnost.

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

Za ovu porodicu naslikao je ovu sliku mrtve prirode.

And whatever he makes

Šta god da napravi

somehow references nesting and space

ima veze sa gnežđenjem i prostorom

and personal property.

ličnom svojinom.

This next project,

Ovaj naredni projekat,

this is by Jaochim Parisvega,

uradio je Žaokim Parisvega,

and he's interested in --

on je zainteresaovan za --

he believes art is everywhere waiting --

on misli da umetnost svuda čeka --

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

da treba samo malo da je poguramo kako bi se dogodila.

And he provides this push by harnessing natural forces,

On to čini koristeći prirodne snage,

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

kao u seriji svojih radova gde je koristio kišu za slikanje.

This project is called "Love Nests."

Ovaj projekat se zove "Ljubavna gnezda".

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

Ovde je iskoristio divlje ptice da stvaraju umetnost za njega.

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

Ostavio je materijal na mestima gde su ga price sakupljele,

and they crafted his nests for him.

i one su za njega pravile svoja gnezda.

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

Tako se ovo zove "Ljubavno gnezdo".

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

Ovo gnezdo se zove "Kaseta sa nasnimljenom muzikom"

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And this one's called "Lovemaking Nest."

Ovo gnezdo se zove "Gnezdo za vođenje ljubavi".

(Laughted)

(Smeh)

Next is Sylvia Slater.

Sledeća je Silvija Slejter.

Sylvia's interested in art training.

Silviju interesuje obuka u umetnosti.

She's a very serious Swiss artist.

Ona je veoma ozbiljna švajcarska umetnica.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And she was thinking about her friends and family

Ona je mislila na svoje prijatelje i porodicu

who work in chaos-ridden places and developing countries,

koji rade na haotičnim mestima i zemljama u razvoju,

and she was thinking,

i razmišljala je,

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

šta bih mogla da stvorim od vrednosti za njih,

in case something bad happens

u slučaju da se nešto loše desi

and they have to buy their way across the border

ako su prinuđeni da plate da pređu granicu

or pay off a gunman?

ili da potplate razbojnike.

And so she came up with creating

Došla je na ideju da napravi

these pocket-sized artworks

ove umetnine 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

i ako bi sve krenulo po zlu, imali biste sredstva

and buy your life.

da otkupite svoj život.

So this life price

Ovo je životna cena

is for an irrigation non-profit director.

direktora neprofitne organizacije za navodnjavanje.

So hopefully what happens is you never use it,

Uz malo sreće nikada je nećete upotrebiti,

and it's an heirloom that you pass down.

i postaće deo vašeg nasleđa.

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

Ona ih tako pravi da mogu da se razbiju na komade,

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

ili mogu biti kao ovo lišće koje može biti sredstvo plaćanja.

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

Oni su vredni, izrađeni od dragocenih metala i dragulja.

And this one had to get broken up.

Ovaj je morao da se razbije na delove.

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

Nedavno je morao da uzme deo kako bi pobegao iz Egipta.

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

Ovo je delo dva umetnika, Majkla Abernatija i Bada Holanda.

And they're interested in creating culture,

Oni se interesuju za stvaranje kulture,

just tradition.

same tradicije.

So what they do is they move into an area

Oni se dosele u neko područje

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

i pokušaju da osnuju novu tradiciju u nekoj maloj geografskoj oblasti.

So this is in Eastern Tennessee,

Ovo je u istočnom Tenesiju,

and what they decided was

oni su odlučili

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."

Izmislili su grobne plesove.

And a dig jig --

Grobni ples --

a dig jig is where,

grobni ples je kada

for a milestone anniversary or a birthday,

kada za neku važnu godišnjicu ili rođendan,

you gather all your friends and family together

okupite sve svoje prijatelje i porodicu

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

i plešete na mestu gde ćete biti sahranjeni.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Privukli smo mnogo pažnje kada smo to izveli.

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

Nagovorio sam svoju porodicu da to uradimo, a oni nisu znali šta radim.

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

Samo sam im rekao: "Obucite se za sahranu. Idemo da obavimo neki posao."

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

Otišli smo do groba i izveli ovo, što je bilo presmešno --

the attention that we got.

sva ta pažnja koju smo privukli.

So what happens is you dance on the grave,

Vi plešete na grobu,

and after you've done your dance,

i nakon plesa,

everyone toasts you and tells you how great you are.

svi vam nazdrave i kažu koliko ste sjajni.

And you in essence have a funeral

U suštini imate svoju sahranu

that you get to be present for.

na kojoj možete učestvovati.

That's my mom and dad.

Ovo su moji mama i tata.

This is by Jason Birdsong.

Ovo je delo Džejsona Brdsonga.

He is interested in how we see as an animal,

Njega interesuje kako gledamo poput životinja,

how we are interested in mimicry and camouflage.

kako nas zanima mimikrija i kamuflaža,

You know, we look down a dark alley

Znate, mi gledamo niz mračnu ulicu

or a jungle path,

ili stazu u džungli,

trying to make out a face or a creature.

i pokušavamo da razaznamo lice ili biće.

We just have that natural way of seeing.

Imamo taj prirodni način posmatranja.

And he plays with this idea.

On se igra sa ovom idejom.

And this piece: those aren't actually leaves.

Ovo zapravo nije lišće.

They're butterfly specimens who have a natural camouflage.

To su leptiri sa prirodnom kamuflažom.

So he pairs these up.

On ih zatim spoji.

There's another pile of leaves.

Ovo je druga gomila lišća.

Those are actually all real butterfly specimens.

Ovo su zaista pravi leptiri.

And he pairs these up with paintings.

On ih spaja sa slikama.

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

Tako je ovo slika zmije u kutiji.

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

Dakle, otvorite kutiju i pomislite da je unutra zmija.

But it's actually a painting.

A to je u stvari slika.

So he makes these interesting conversations

Tako on vodi ove interesante razgovore

about realism and mimicry

o realizmu i mimikriji

and our drive to be fooled by great camouflage.

i našem nagonu da nas prevari dobra kamuflaža.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

The next artist is Hazel Clausen.

Sledeća umetnica je Hejzel Klausen.

Hazel Clausen is an anthropologist who took a sabbatical

Ona je antropolog koji pravi dužu pauzu na poslu

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

i odlučila je: "Znate, naučila bih mnogo o kulturi

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

kada bih od nule osmislila kulturu koja ne postoji"

So that's what she did.

Tako da je to i učinila-

She created the Swiss people named the Uvulites,

Kreirala je švajcarski narod po imenu Uvuliti,

and they have this distinctive yodeling song

koji jodluju na karakterističan način

that they use the uvula for.

koristeći uvulu (resicu u grlu).

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 Šefer.
