Tell us about your ceramic sculptures. They seem very labor intensive. Break down the process for us?
I employ a variety of techniques. I learned ceramics mostly from apprenticing in a production pottery studio when I was a kid. I have become more interested in the ceramic process recently, but for the most part I use clay as a medium to achieve a particular end. That is not to say that I abandon craft but I tend to let the vision guide the construction and not the other way around. I have had over 30 years experience working with clay so I feel comfortable with the medium but I will abandon process if it becomes unnecessary or gets in the way of where I want a piece to go.
Your work has a whimsical and childlike joy about them. How do you pick your subject matter for the works?
I would consider my style a miss mash of Punk Rock, Pop Surrealist, and Pre-Columbian imagery with some 1950's advertisement thrown in for good measure. So really it is just a reaction to the things I like that are around me everyday. I have a fairly large collection of paintings and I look to artists out side of ceramics for inspiration

THE MAJESTIC WORLD OF
MAX LEHMAN
Max Lehman is a contemporary ceramic sculptor based from New Mexico. His work is fueled by the southwestern United States and it's deep rooted culture. We discuss his early interests, current developments and future plans.
I would say that Michael Lucero was an early influence on me as far as ceramics are concerned. But most of my influences come from painters like Mark Ryden, Kenny Scharf, Todd Schorr, Keith Haring. I was influenced very early on by Punk Rock, I was living in London at the time that the Sex Pistols, Siouxie and the Banshees, Chron Gen, The X-Ray Specs, etc were on the scene. I still listen to that music and the new stuff today. I would also say I have been heavily influenced by the ceramics from Pre-Columbian civilizations most notably, Teotihuacan, Mayan, and the Tsistiquate, but not limited to those, also many Peruvian and Andean cultures.
What's the art scene like in Santa Fe, New Mexico?
Santa Fe is like no other city in the US and if you add in Northern New Mexico you get a landscape and a people that are more unique than anyplace on the Earth. The original inhabitants can trace their history back Tens of THOUSANDs of years, newcomers (The Spanish) can go back 500 years and us Johnny come latelys (Anglos mostly) have been migrating to New Mexico since the Mexican American War and there was a big influx of artists in the 1920s. It is a very welcoming place.
Northern New Mexico is very laid back and very liberal. I sometimes call it the Island of Misfit Toys, because if you don’t fit in anywhere else you can fit in here. I also call it the Land of Shirley MacClaine I don’t think I need to explain that. There is a very lively arts scene; you might say you can’t spit without hitting an artist. And it runs the gamut from very traditional style painters ie landscape, still lives, portraits, figurative style bronze work, to cutting edge installation and performance and everything in between. Imagine a 400-year-old city in the middle of the wilderness, desert on one side old growth forested mountains on the other with about 60,000 inhabitants, yet there is a world class opera and opera house, a symphony, a dozen major museums over 300 galleries, restaurants, shops, micro breweries, I could go on. It’s really quite something. But you have to dig in, get to know the place, it can be like the five blind men describing an elephant. You can’t just sit and wait for it to reveal itself to you. You have to let down your guard and be willing to get off the beaten path. I think that to some visitors it has a "Mall Like" feel to it, at least on the surface. Some people come here expecting a Disneyland experience and leave not ever knowing where they were or what they missed.
( Interview continues)
The ceramic arts is definitely in a class of it's own. Who are some contemporary ceramic artists you bounce ideas off of and get excited about?
I would say that Michael Lucero was an early influence on me as far as ceramics are concerned. But most of my influences come from painters like Mark Ryden, Kenny Scharf, Todd Schorr, Keith Haring. I was influenced very early on by Punk Rock, I was living in London at the time that the Sex Pistols, Siouxie and the Banshees, Chron Gen, The X-Ray Specs, etc were on the scene. I still listen to that music and the new stuff today. I would also say I have been heavily influenced by the ceramics from Pre-Columbian civilizations most notably, Teotihuacan, Mayan, and the Tsistiquate, but not limited to those, also many Peruvian and Andean cultures.
What's the most difficult thing about glazing with ceramics? Do you experience a lot of lucky mistakes along the way?
I don’t really have an answer for this question. I use commercial glazes in my work and can usually anticipate what the outcome will be. There is some variation that happens when you give up a piece to the fire but in today’s world I don’t see any reason why I should not use commercial glazes any more that I would expect a painter to be grinding their own pigment and mixing their own medium. Naturally if something does go awry I pull out the paint, in fact some of my surfaces are entirely painted or a combination of paint and glaze.
(Interview continues below)
Anything you are working on currently you can tell us about?
Yes here is a description of an installation I am building for the “End of Days” exhibit that will be taking place this fall in Santa Fe.
The piece is titled "Bride of the Bomb"
My plan is this.
I envision creating a large installation piece that will include at least three sculptures and up to appx 35 to 40 small pieces created from molds I have purchased on ebay.
The small pieces are going to be based on these ghost figures that I have various molds of, they are from the nineteen fifties and look like a person wrapped in a sheet carrying a pumpkin. The figures are going to stay the same but we are going to swap out the pumpkin with different items, accessory items like shoes or purses, skulls, bombs, missiles, guns, etc…
The three big pieces will be comprised of: A wedding cake tank that will have a skeleton bride riding on top. The cake will be decorated with skulls and weapons and icing. The next piece will be a missile launcher decorated in a similar fashion, and the final piece will be an atom bomb on wheels with an apocalyptic figure riding it kinda like the cowboy at the end of Dr Strangelove.
I am seeing the entire thing set up on a catwalk like a fashion show runway. The atom bomb will lead followed by a block of 12 or so of the ghost figures set up like they are marching, followed by the rocket launcher followed by another block of ghosts followed up by the wedding cake.
So it will have the look of a fashion show runway crossed with a Communist May Day military parade. The whole set up could be as much as 18 to 20 feet long and appx 3 - 4 feet wide.

ONE PEOPLE
In the past, it can be said that the Chinese police were very kind, because they couldn't hurt the people that wanted to hurt other people until those people hurt others. So when the police subdue a murderer, there are some people hurt, and the people's safety can't be guaranteed.
But in America, the police aren't so kind. If someone does something to make the police think he wants to hurt others, the police will subdue him right now with guns or other things.
Now the Chinese police have some change. They are encouraged to subdue a murderer right now. It makes people feel safe, and people believe the police more.

, my teacher Matt was at home. Suddenly, a group of police surrounded his house. They all held guns. One of them shouted, "Hand over your guns!" Matt was shocked and afraid. He put his hand over his head and got out of the house slowly. Finally, the police knew it was a misunderstanding.
For this story, we know the government is very concerned about the problem with guns. The government even established a series of laws about guns. In China, guns are not allowed to be used. If you have a gun without the government's permission, you will have to go to jail or even be shot.
To be honest, most people are afraid of guns. Because if the bad guys have guns, they would do bad things, such as rob and murder people. They cause a great and bad influence on society. A person's life is not safe. The consequences would be unthinkable.
Although in some countries, people can have guns with a license. It always causes murder. In China, there are millions of people. It's hard to manage. So using guns is less possible. In a word, 'guns' is a sensitive word in China.
In my opinion, guns are not needed for ordinary people. The police can protect our life. Some people shouldn't use guns privately, even buy guns from other countries. This breaks the law. We also should report such cases to the police. Many hands make lighter work. We need to create a safe and good society together. Say "NO" to violence. No guns, no danger.

I am going to write a story about Tony Parker who plays basketball in the NBA. As I know, Parker is one of the best point guards in the NBA. And Parker joined the alliance in 2001.
Parker is a man who was born in France. As we know, last month he led his team to a championship. Although he is too old. So he said, "Nothing is impossible." And seven years ago he got the same results. People always called him "The French small sports car."
And Parker always says "Winners are too busy to be sad, because they are always working."

At 5 p.m. on that day, seven buses were burnt to pieces, the glass broke in all the windows, the insides were blackened. In ZheYi, a middle-aged woman said her daughter was still in first aid. "She was 18 years old this year, she had just attended the university entrance exam.
The woman was, at that time, driving the car to DongPo intersection, when it burnt up suddenly. Her daughter was knocked back by fire. She rolled on the floor and immediately put the fire out, but her hands and body had different degree burns.

The northeast of China has many big forests. Every year, there is much wood production. Many people cut down trees because they can get money. So many forests are disappearing, and some animals are disappearing too.
On April 1st, 2014 China said stop cutting down trees in the northeast of China, because China doesn't need much wood now and forests are disappearing. So many workers need another job now. "I cut down trees for twenty years, but now I have to find a new job. I will plant trees and cut them down. Hundreds of companies are closing. Some of them are planting trees now," a worker said.

an interesting thing about Roey. Yesterday, Roey wanted to go into
a clothes shop .But she was too careless and didn't see the window door. All the people in the shop looked at her and shamed her. Roey said she felt very embarrassed and touched her head. She just smiled and said that the window was really clean. She didn't see it. Then a shop assistant told her to be careful next time.
I think we should be more careful. When we do anything, we should use our heads more and then we can do things better than before. Also I think the shop assistant should put some clear signs on the window door, or other people will hit it too. And maybe they will be hurt. We should remind people to be careful. So we should be careful.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

You work a lot in black and white...what brought you there?
For me working in black and white has always been more comfortable than working in color. The contrast of black to white and all the subtle grays in between allow me to create a feeling for the piece that I just don’t feel I could achieve through the use of color. To me black and white images remove the viewer from being in or part of the image by keeping the image separate from real life… it keeps participants at arms length but still gives them the ability to be voyeurs from a safe distance.
How do you decide the imagery you use for your work? Is there a narrative or motif?
I think the imagery for my work comes to me when I least expect it. The idea is to show figures that are displayed in a limbo of sorts… trapped between the planes of heaven and earth. I want to capture that split instant that shows a figure’s movement toward a moment of change, whether it’s a physical, mental or emotional change. I’m constantly on the lookout for that perfectly uncomfortable static pose, it can be something as simple as a hand gesture that speaks to me. After that everything else seems to fall into place. In the end, the goal is to evoke an unsettling feeling for the participant… I want to give them just a piece of the story and to let them judge the outcome.

ROTH
Aaron Thomas Roth was born in Chicago, Il., in 1973. He was raised in Los Angeles and New York City where he attended the School of Visual Arts and received a BA in Illustration. He studied with the great Sam Martine and Joo Chung… with their mentoring he was able to pursue his love of collage and experimentation with new mediums. We had a chance to have an interview with him where he discusses his influences, his current work and upcoming shows. Aaron currently resides and works in Tucson, AZ.
A CONVERSATION.
Some of you work seems to have a dialog with Francis Bacon? Are his paintings in any way a point of reference for you?
Bacon’s work definitely has been an influence for me in many ways. As a young kid, I was surrounded by my mother’s collection of art catalogues and coffee-table books. One of my favorites happened to be an old Tate Gallery catalogue on Bacon. Thumbing through the pages, there was something about his paintings that really grabbed me and made a severe impression in my mind… those dark geometric shapes that seemed to go deep into the painting were in such stark contrast to those soft organic piles of barely distinguishable forms of flesh. For the first time I had a sense as to what it was to be moved by art. I realized that not only was art created with emotion but it also conveyed an emotion that was for me, in this case, brilliantly haunting. I knew this was the type of feeling I wanted to come through in my work.
What are some things you are working on currently?
Now that the Dublin Biennial has wrapped up and a majority of my entries for up coming competitions have been sent off… I’ve decided to lock myself away in the studio to concentrate on producing new works. There will be a solo exhibition of my work at the monOrchid gallery in Phoenix toward the end of the year as well as a possible two-person exhibit in Germany in early 2015.

Jeffrey Noble "Welcome to MarZ" at Butter Gallery
Posted

Views: 6,297
Based on photos taken in Jeffrey Noble's hometown of Melbourne, Florida in the late 80s and early 90s, the series of paintings by the young artist explores the climate of the time with a twinge of nostalgia and a rather gloomy outlook on the future. Inspired by Noble's musings on the lifestyle of the last generation growing up without the internet the paintings are defined by a pervasive black atmosphere. With sand, oil and spray paint Noble creates a system that responds to cultural context and materiality. He mines his life experiences in Melbourne and Miami and uses those to present a narrative rendered in a unique style that merges European painting tradition with graffiti and Noble's personal aesthetic. He thereby creates works that grapple with often dark and apocalyptic thoughts and themes set in a digital future projected upon images of the now defunct Melbourne nightclub The Marz Club.
"Welcome to MarZ" is on view until August 30, 2014 at Butter Gallery, 2930 NW 7th Ave, Miami 33127

Malcolm vs. Macbeth
Ever since Malcolm's ambiguous escape to England after his father's death, rumors have emerged that, with the help of King Edward and Siward, Malcolm plans on retaking Scotland. This, of course, is a direct threat towards Macbeth, the current King of Scotland. I have decided to take a look at which one of these men is the most qualified to lead our great country.
Macbeth's rise to power was a bit unexpected to say the least. Upon Duncan's death, his two sons fled, so the next in line was Macbeth. It wasn't until now that becoming King of Scotland became a possibility for him, which begs the question: was he ever prepared for this role?
Since his crowning, there hasn't been much change at all, really. In fact, if anything, a bizarre increase in the number of murders of nobles has brought about a suspicious view of Macbeth. Some have even suggested that he has been the one ordering these murders.
Others citizens have gone as far as to say, "those he commands, move only in command, nothing in love". Perhaps his soldiers know more than we do, and for that reason, they do not feel loyalty towards him. Another person has even said "now does he feel his title hang loose about him, like a giant's robe upon a dwarfish thief".
If anything, I would think that Macbeth feels a bit too great and grand to be King of Scotland, but it seems that others believe it is quite the opposite.
Malcolm, on the other hand, does have his faults as well. If Macbeth is so evil, then we only have Malcolm to blame for leaving us behind with this "tyrant". People close to him have mentioned that he is not all that humble either, but if he is the real son of Duncan, then there must be some good in him.
In weighing the pros and cons of each man being King of Scotland, I believe that Malcolm would be the most suitable for the role.
Paula Estrada
Dunsinane under threat
It began with the bustling and swaying of trees, and then, as a messenger put it, "I looked toward Birnam and anon methought the wood began to move". The moving of trees is actually that of "ten thousand soliders" camouflaged, marching towards Dunsinane, the obvious target: Macbeth.
As one might expect, and as predicted by the witches, it is Macduff, accompanied by Malcolm, Siward and his son.
Many predict that Macduff will be triumphant, but eyewitnesses say that Macbeth is feeling confident and invincible. This is probably due to the witches' prophecy that he will not be harmed by anyone of "woman born". Many believe that he is unaware that Macduff was actually "from his mother's womb ultimately ripped". If anything though, Macbeth should be alarmed by the moving forest, another one of the witches' predictions.
To many it seems that Macbeth's demise will be inevitable, but who knows how many lives will be taken until then?
What do you think of Malcolm taking over England?

Letters To The Editor
Most recent predicitions regarding Macbeth
I was intrigued by your article on the three sisters a few days ago, and was wondering if you had heard of their most recent predictions regarding Macbeth? I realized that you have not reported on the matter yet, so I thought I would tell you the story: apparently Macbeth went back to the three witches out of fear of that someone may be after his power.
Word is, the witches gave him three new prophecies: he said to "beware Macduff", that "none of woman born" would hard him, and that he will never be "vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane hill shall come against him".
All these predictions seem a bit far-fectched, and quite impossible.
I was curious to know whether you had heard anything about this? Seeing that you have not reported on this, I was wondering whether it was just rumor.
Jenny Smith, Glasgow
Macduff has fled to England
How would you respond to innuendo that Macduff has fled to England? People say that he has fled to ally with Malcolm, one of Duncan's sons, who is supposedly plotting against Macbeth.
I am curious to hear what you have to say about this, considering that if this is true, it would mean yet another change in leadership for us Scots.
Daniel Dyer, St. Andrews
Macduff's Family is Murdered
Macduff's castle has been seized and his family murdered last night in Fife. There were no eye witnesses as Macduff's servants were killed along with his family. Experts say that the work seems to have been done by professionals.
Ross, cousin of Macduff, did say that he had stopped by the castle a few hours earlier and everything and everyone was fine then. The only thing that seems to be strange is the absence of Macduff. He was not at the castle at the time of the murders, and had been missing for a couple days then. Now there is still no word or public statement from Macduff. The only possibility is that rumors, as mentioned by our readers, that Macduff has fled to England to allign with Malcolm against Macbeth, are true.
If word of his fleeing got around to Macbeth, it is possible that he could be behind the cruelty inflicted upon Macduff's family. But right now, this is all mere speculation.
Q&A With Macbeth, King of Scotland
Q: How do you respond to rumors that Macduff has fled to England to rally with others against you?
A: These are not rumors. This has been confirmed, Macduff is a traitor. He has been disloyal to me, and I will do everything in my power to make sure that his attempts to dethrone me and destabalize Scotland do not succeed.
Q: People have claimed that your wife is ill, can you comment on her condition?
A: Right before entering this interview I was told that she has passed on. I cannot give any fruther details. It is a pity, though, I wish she had died a little later on.
*It was later disclosed that Lady Macbeth, Queen of Scotland, had taken her own life.

MACBETH IS ILL AT BANQUET
Witnesses at Macbeth's most recent banquet attest that he was "not well". In the middle of the party, he went hysterical as he accused the guests of planting something. Many said that he seemed to be hallucinating. Lady Macbeth assured the guests that the "lord is often thus, and hath been from his youth". But he continued to cry out, seeming to talk with his hallucinations. He referred to his hallucinations as something "which might appall the devil".
Macbeth continued to make references to death. Witnesses recall him saying, "If charnel-horses and our graves must send those we bury back, our monuments shall be the maws of kites". For a while, many did not know what he was speaking of, but a few nights later, word came that Banquo had been killed. Guests from the banquet later told us that they thought that perhaps Macbeth had a premonition about his best friend's upcoming death.
Banquo was not present that night, but witnesses say that Macbeth did keep referring to how unfortunate it was that Banquo could not attend.
One can only imagine what this newly crowned king must be dealing with after taking on a kingdom and losing his best friend in such a short period of time.
Banquo had served alongside Macbeth for years and had grown to become one of his best and closest friends. Most recently, Banquo had helped Macbeth achieve great victory at the battle against the King of Norway. Banquo was with his son, Fleance, when he was seized, but he managed to escape. No one knows where is now.
R.I.P. BANQUO
In loving memory of Banquo (1966-2014): a loving friend and father.
Lady Macbeth is Haunted
Lady Macbeth was seen sleepwalking in a strange fashion in the corridors of her castle last night.
She was seen by her gentlewoman and doctor. The gentlewoman declined to comment further, saying, "I will not report after her. Neither to you, nor anyone".
The doctor did tell us that she seemed to rub her hands together as if she was trying to wash something off of them. She continually made references to blood and death. The doctor did not say much more, as he did not want to speak out about private matters concerning his queen, but he did say this, "More needs she the divine than the physician".
We can only speculate what thoughts are haunting her mind at present.
