WE INTEND to DISCOVER ART'S POWER BY GENERATING AWARENESS about HOW to PERCEIVE ART from A HUMAN SUPERPOWER-STANDPOINT VERSUS a SYSTEM-RELEVANT COMMODITY-STANDPOINT.

THE HIGH-ART OF AESTAETICS PLAY. I don't have the words of the emotional impact of this installation. Art shows us what is humanly possible. Thank you Peter Blake for sharing.

“Parole di colore,” (Words of color), situated in the Robert Olnick Pavilion, features five works by Ettore Spalletti. The works are installed inside the most evocative space of the new building, enclosed in an architectural cube permeated by light.

“I wanted to have the feeling of being immersed in the color… My color gives you another color, transforming continuously in a sort of color that has no beginning and no end, stretching itself more and more until it hugs you, wrapping you completely.” —Spalletti, Apollo Magazine, 2016

This is the high-art of playing with aesthetics. I can't describe the onflow of emotions. Thank you Peter Black for sharing.

When Art is Turned into a Commodity, it Self-propels losing its magic, passion and the Future Relevance of an Arts-City.

Jorg Dubin's call for attention in the Indy is another recognition of what seems an imminent death that has already settled in for over a decade. All artists here are well aware of it but we feel helpless, primarily because the PASSION about art as an intricate part of this Town has left the building.

Laguna has made itself clueless about the power of art. Our hubris comes from believing art is just part of our landscape, of what’s naturally in our water. We focus on what the arts can do for Laguna instead of what art means for us outside of the economy.

We don’t see art as an essential ingredient of humanity but as a luxury commodity that stopped what it once did for Laguna. Art is not a systemic-title that once you have it you can use it forever.
Art’s element is fire. Even the potential fuel that artists and art-students could provide is doused because they are not really welcome to create or can’t afford to live here.

Laguna’s current state of art is only better than no art. We revere creativity as art that’s used when a local enterprise creates a funky colorful product.

Our control, relegates art to dead ornaments, whose major function is self-congratulation. We have become unconscious about the fact that systemically implementing art extinguishes its fire by bending art’s energy to rules and regulations. Consequently, humans react.

So go our emotions for the arts that Laguna has long lost because there was no more way where to go with this passion-killing attitude. To confirm this, the nail in the artists’ coffin was the removal of Art from the City-Seal.

We are disconnected from Art’s essence because we forgot that art wants nothing more than to be created and exposed.

If Laguna wants to have an inkling of a chance to reunite with the arts, its focus has to be on the humans that create art and the power that lies in art-creation instead of just finding value in the art-product. We have to try new things to find relevant art-projects that the public loves to engage with.

Art does not do what it can if humans don’t understand its function and therefore refuse to celebrate its endless value.
If there is any passion left, let's create a cultural Vision for Laguna Beach.

Because an art scene is not just allowing a few local artists to perform repeatedly and put art everywhere. It’s welcoming artists that are drawn to our City, giving the space to nurture our natural curiosity of art’s magic.

Art is dead, long live the arts.

Shiny Object Syndrome distracts you from what's REAL 👇

The objects that often 'shine' the most for us are the one's that call to us because of our unconscious fears, needs, and desires.

When you think about it like this, it speaks buckets that human beings find themselves to be so shiny and interesting - so much so that our ideas about ourselves often DISTANCE us from nature itself and prevent us from living REAL lives of expansion and growth towards WHOLENESS.

The 'cure' for Shiny Object Syndrome always starts with the same thing: AWARENESS.

When we do the inner work to become more aware, we can put ourselves on the path to truly accepting ourselves, and then taking inspired action in the world (instead of only being 'inspired' BY it).

In this episode of Creative Status, I get deep into it with Michaell Magrutsche, an artist, podcaster, author, and coach who believes that AWARENESS TRUMPS ALL and that the main cause of problems in our lives is a being caught up in systems and concepts that distort our awarness of human-nature and nature itself.

If you've listened to the show before or read any of my 'stuff' (like my book Personal Revolutions: A Short Course in Realness) then you'll know these themes are right up my street because I also believe that treating the 'world' (system) as reality itself is a massive source of friction, frustration, and misery in our lives!

Despite our agreement, there was also some disgreement in this conversation which led to some really creative dialogue and back-and-forth as we tried to find some common ground.

This was really a very powerful conversation - not just in WHAT we discussed but also HOW we went about it.

We cover loads of ground in this episode:

-Ego transcendence

-Systems and the limits of the world in general

-How the systems infilitrate our thinking and way of being

-How the creative process truly is the way into realness

-TONS of other things
