Hei Ron

The seminar info is a little bit cryptic for me, and i even know you a little bit.
Could you possibly give more detail, or is it all about how less is more- is this the conceptual framework for the seminar?
Who will be speaking?
I can make a post about this on X but I need a little bit more information.
Oh yes- I would love to participate as well. But I cannot make it until ten in the evening, A will be in B and I on my own with C.
But until C is back from D, put me up as a participant.

Cheers and see you soon
Y

Not much later Ron Sluik replied:

You make me smile Y,

No it is not cryptic at all but rather metaphoric maybe. Let's call it visual language. I always work like this and i always get away with it and that is for a long time now. I do actually believe that in my method more things are outspoken than in the genuine art historic review.

I am not a theoretician and see as any sane artist all things out there just as tools to use. I would have invited Marcel D and Joseph B but they are both dead and would not have come anyway. Please look at the attached picture: Funny i found this book yesterday behind KIWI and read, ha ha ! There is part of the answer! (click on photo to enlarge).

The way i experience art has maybe left us already during the interbellum period. Appel was still fun when he said: I do not paint i hit.

Senis Besmegenis promised to see if he could come and thought of taking Carla T. Hauser with him. Can not get through to David Hammons. Hirst would love to speak but i can not stand his voice. Mies van der Rohe was the first one to use the phrase 'less = more'. It is all in wiki.

We are living in a time changing. Boring part looks over and the devoluting part is ready to begin. But how much can we handle? How much less?

Hilsen, Ronnie the disposable curator of Natland SB art Galleri.

Natland SB how much less is more Seminar 2010 Bergen

...but those who do not take the following serious are not invited to participate anyway.

Natland SB art Galleri has nailed me to be the main host This event will happen on Saturday the 12th of June in Bergen Norway and takes more or less half of a day starting at 10.00 in the morning and ending at 10.00 in the evening.

The seminar is intended to be an intensive and interactive exchange of thoughts and views, tools, tips and methods. It might be some times academic relevant but in the mean time as easily disposable. The day includes lectures, viewings and a meal. It will include out- & indoor fieldwork and discussion & research to make us hungry enough. It aims to develop and enhance our mental resistance, multiply several mental tools which are worthwhile in times to come. I like to focus on emotion as a creativity and discuss our personal ethics within global forms, explore associative thinking, revalue our self-positioned bastions and introduce the true meaning of senism.

Participants have to be at least open towards Natland SB art Galleri activities. I dislike to waste the day on monologues of attack and defense (yes it is, no it is not) I intend to create a constructive playgrounds for the exploration of the temporary subjects which will pass.

As mentioned before there are no guarantees for the outcome or success of the seminar and it might feel like a day on the tracks with dangerous speeds, cross overs, unexpected side roads, new views and some dangerous blindfolded shortcuts but always with good spirit, a right sense of size, Duchampian enthusiasm and tolerance. But i warn you to make sure to get your piece of the cake.

The location will be at a later date revealed to the participants after their confirmation. There is limited space. Natland SB art Galleri takes responsibility for the selection. Persons interested are urged to contact as soon as possible. The conversation language will be second hand English.

Natland SB art Galleri is fresh and independent. The Seminar is for free except for those who want or can contribute a small token. The moderator is a moonlighter.
