Comments for Normal Space http://www.nicknormal.com/normalspace @ Flux Factory Thu, 17 May 2012 22:18:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 Comment on Cassie Thornton - artist statement by Peekskill Project — normalblog Archive http://www.nicknormal.com/normalspace/2006/04/03/cassie-thornton-artist-statement/#comment-14 Peekskill Project — normalblog Archive Thu, 21 Sep 2006 18:28:19 +0000 http://www.nicknormal.com/normalspace/2006/04/03/cassie-thornton-artist-statement/#comment-14 [...] We started at the HVCCA. Even before then, because as we approached the center we first stumbled upon an installation adjoined to the wall of the center, by Cassie Thornton, a good friend of mine. I love Cassie’s work, I even have some of it in my own collection. This piece was a haphazard construction, a 2″x4″ wood frame wrapped in clear plastic with a slanted roof; inside were maquettes of landscapes and buildings, photos of children and older people. Bricks surrounded the outside foundation, as if to keep everything stable. The piece was titled “Infinite Museum”; the only thing unclear (to me) about Cassie’s work was if the maquettes were her own creation or that of those present in the accompanying documentary photographs. Given the inclusion of ‘museum’ in the title, Cassie’s role is a little bit questionable: is she collector, curator, spokesperson? What saves the work for me is the physical construction and allocation of the work, and it’s play on the micro/macro: included in the Peekskill Project, but a Museum in itself, adjacent to the HVCCA but open all the time, on the street; and of course the scale of the models included in the work.

So I looked you up in the internet and was pleasantly surprised by the range and beauty. I also love the simple way you write, no shadow of arrogance. I am an artist who draws on clay, but I told a friend who does paper cut work to look you up. Please keep me on your list of e-mail respondents.

Egy másik Dezső szeretettel köszönti. Sajnos nem tudok angolul, de megértem a felszisszenését. ha megengedi két kis történetet elmesélek. Van egy német barátunk. Kedveskedett egy sörös kupával. Annak ellenére, hogy tudja a nevemet szép cirádás betüvel vésette az ón kupakjára: DESZŐ. A másik még érdekesebb. A nejem szintén szép betüformával rajzolta egy papírlapra a nevemet. Negyedszerre sikerült neki is DESZŐ-nek írni a nevemet. Úgy vélem, akinek ismeretlen hangzásu e név, előfordul, hogy elírja. Sebaj! Mi legalább tudjuk, hogyan kell, vagy kellene írni a nevünket. Szeretettel köszönti: Gégény Dezső Magyarországról. Kedves Dezső!

However, I also happen to know on good authority that all of these works were stolen, at gunpoint, directly from the artists 'involved'. This kind of thing is common in the art world of Western Queens where a wild, semi-civilized state still prevails. I would warn those coming to this 'opening' from the developed world to dress down and keep their jewelry at home. I appreciate these efforts and I’m sure it will be a great show.
