ian waldeck’s pollack “violation”

Aside from being a really nice guy, Ian has produced, constructed, destroyed (whatever you want to call it) a really fun and interesting show. He’s basically speaking back to the history of art in a performance of “violation and disruption,” tho I’d probably more closely relate it to a night out with friends. It feels like he’s kind of drinking wine with a few of his genius buddies, simultaneously poking fun at their processes, and borrowing from their rhythms, to ask us to look again at what we know about art theory and practice.

There was a great turn-out, an interesting performance, and a bit of the ole theory speak, too. Ian says that below is his finest creation…
