Chi's

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noor_Hossain - for reading, consider as South Asia's one of the earliest performative moment in public space - important source to understanding performance as protest art as well,  when I initiated this work as revist the idea of democracy - I felt, it would be nice if I can look back the history of this kind political practice in a very performative way... I called this series - let democracy be exemption..(especially during this critical time of Germany protest meet, Hongkong public protest or Siria or India and 
everywhere maybe, we are fighting for the liberal space )


one additional text for my work

3 intimate dialogues between Noor, kaur & dead-artist


HOW TO READ THE LINES
AND
 INBETWEEN THE SPACE


LOOK AT YOURSELF
LOOK AT YOUR BODY
LOOK AT YOUR RIGHT
LOOK AT INSIDE
LOOK AT YOUR UP
LOOK AT INSIDE
LOOK AT YOUR LEFT
LOOK AT YOUR DOWN
LOOK AT YOUR CORNER
LOOK AT INSIDE
LOOK AT INSIDE
LOOK AT INSIDE










CHAPTER 1
WITH NOOR
  1. I’m sorry what I said before, but I now I realized that I should be an emperor only – an emperor of the idea
  2. The day before that incident I asked you several times -  you said l must learn to listen to the silence – and then everyone knows what happened that day!!
  3. deadartist came and resolve the hunger of mine-  You thought democracy kills my innocence but Noor, it was your silence. 
  4. Day after that incident I came back again to share the pain and blood with you & I found that you changed really in fake gaze – that day I considered as enlightenment.
  5. Noor, why need to believe something called democracy – a space where you and I can't even drink and eat and love and care each other 
  6.  Sometimes I consider the idea if democracy is an example of myth from everyday life.
I am sorry what I said before that is not my business –  but it is my business only - after few decade, I felt that “onusanga/context”  again inside - more crucial to make the relationship with body and democracy expose again more serious format.  

CHAPTER 2
WITH KAUR


?
? I am kaur in addition with the past
? Past Present & Future tried many times to kill me... should I try to kill them as well?
? To avoid my body I always carried that notion – how and where
? Democracy kill democracy exist
? all that memory of life, death, pain, and pleasure – I am no one but I am
? I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone than my body
? Yes I don’t want but I want the democracy, should I have more in my past or in future
?  Who knows where?
? 
? And the good being is a being
? I reach I ate I pour I cook every day, I take care myself no matter democracy or DEMOCRACY
? The way of life can be free and beautiful - is only the way I can collect contain and reform the idea
? Body has Greed has Body
? Knowledge has made us and we made the border of the body of democracy and democracy of any soul.
?  To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair.  I will come back and remember I am coming back in addition to the memory of dead artist
?     




CHAPTER 3
WITH DEADARTIST

গণতন্ত্র
রেহাই
পাক//
  1. Then - in the name of democracy - let use the power of amnesia - let unite again for sharing the possibilities of new order/ let's fake the fake for a fake. Let occupy and fight for a new word ‘rehai’ 
  2. Noor, I just want to be in the fakeness or the paradox. Don’t worry about me and I will not give up either or give you much pain – no need to assign anyone from your faithful democracy to observe and preserve my presence 
  3. Before the monolog over, explore the madness of the memory of power and encourage the amnesia.

focusing the upcoming work (potential parenting)

Sorry, I  left my  phone at home for little while charging. I saw you had left msgs but I haven't had the time to read. however, here's some reflections on our last chat: My observations from being a dad…. Sometimes despite your best efforts , your child is not going to agree with you, come out like you.. we can expect, this. Here’s my thoughts. The idea of parenting. Some couples set out to make babies in a targeted procreation, for others this happens by happenstance,  a regrettable accident. Either way, we.. as all animals of the kingdom, raise the kids in our own image, passing on our values, as it has been for thousands of years. Worldwide attitudinal and behavioural shifts don’t happen very suddenly, it takes generations and exposure to “difference” in order for true change to occur. I’m reminded of how recently segregated schools were a reality in America and South Africa. These facts are part of the cultural landscape that are hard to die. They stick in the...

1st discussion

was reminded of a text by Thomas McEvilley outlining how shifts between basically "right and left " leaning principles have always oscillated through the ages. I recommend for you to tune into his videos showcasing east /west historical ties. you might even spot a peacock somewhere in the iconography. Anyway, I got to thinking about whether 2 artists of similar philosophical inclination should be showcasing their sameness or if it's time to delve into the other, undercover, research how the other half lives? this can potentially come across as some sort of subversion, or perhaps it might lead to some kind of unifying principle, a symbol of hope? don't know, what do you think? here's some pictures based (as usual) on word searches, can you guess the word?:
