LIVING IN A TERRORIST STATE

This project is a response to all the war and chaos we live in today. Life has become a life of fear. We feel that we are always on the edge of something bad happening to us. We trust nothing that is different then ourselves. Everything is a threat. It’s gotten so bad that even the sight of a box could be a threat of a bomb. We run around trying to defuse every threat and safe everyone from terror. War always creates enemies and money always creates greed and power. With this war were in I’m sure we’ve created more enemies and have killed more innocent people then we care to admit. War is always in the name of helping people but the sub contexts is always money, politics, power and the almighty ego of the united states government. This project is to show the fear we live in. We created this fear by putting fear into the hearts of innocent people through war. If you are not of our beliefs and do not believe in our countrys ways or conflict with our interests we will use our power to make you part of what we think is best for you. This is not freedom but terrorism.

I will dress up in a hazmat suit and go around to restaurants, coffee shops, and public places leaving messages in small black boxes and black briefcases. I’m sure it will create fear and uneasiness in the public and I might be asked to leave for that very reason. Having anyone that could be threatening, militant, or possibly a terrorist around in public will show the same uneasiness other people go through on a daily basis because they live in a war we created. We here in America live in a world of blindness to the cold world of war. Even though the sub context of fear is with us everyday. We still choose to not to see the cold side of what we do to others that don’t comply with us or accept our beliefs. I’m lucky I do live in the United States because it gives me the right to express my view points through artwork. With that being said this project is launched.

My hopes for this project are to show and make people feel fear and uneasiness about a war were in. I want to do this outside the galleries because you can only get true emotional response from someone by doing the unexpected not going to the expected. Plus galleries promote sales and artwork that sells. They are less promoting of cutting edge artwork that challenge the viewer and the subject matter. Galleries art is safe were art in public is unpredictable and can go anywhere as well as do anything with no boundaries. I also want the outside public to dictate the artwork as well as I creates the artwork. The actual artwork will be the performance but the material artwork will be the boxes I leave behind. I will also document the artwork so galleries can show the art to the art world. Plus the art will be safe or will it?
