Art/not art part 3

I was inspired to do photo collage because of Romare Bearden. An amazing artist and academic from the Harlem renaissance. This piece has no title, finished in the mid 1990's in Toronto, i have been hauling it around with me now i want to rid myself of it's gravity. A pull it has on me, so i copied a few and set it out on the streets of Montreal, in the N.D.G. area, I think I will work to send stuff into the plateau. I'll be in that location tonight to see "I'm Still Here," A play by Margarita Romero. this is also one of two posting of the same image.

After so many years the inspiration to create this remains the same. and it's like Margarita's play. it is telling people, especially those who wish to pretend all is good in their world, that those who suffer are watching , can see us. as the hippies would say"the whole world is watching."

This goes out to the Montreal Police who last week shot and killed two men, One who obviously had mental health issues, he was downtown ripping apart garbage bags with a knife and throwing the contents around while screaming. The other victim was on his way to work and was hit by a stray bullet discharged by the police. One week after the shooting, The Investigators have not questioned the police involved. We are watching.

I started with flowers a bit ago, i can't seem to justify their place, but they come up so I went with it. so here it is. This is in a strange part of Montreal like an intersection of N.D.G. hamstead and Cote des Neige?? speaking of which I will in a few days post my video which is shot in a park in Cote st. Catherine. stay tuned.

I am still on the search for the greatest black Canadian artist. I have proclaimed myself as this. I am hoping someone can throw out other names, I am looking for visual artist. so it narrows the field, any takers?
