Artist Singh burns all his art in protest

Artist SinGh burns all his art in protest that he made for the Artprize 2012

I have failed to negotiate with big establishment like BOB and artprize. It is unfortunate that I did not get any support from the Artprize. G Gilmore took away all my privileges at the BOB to show my art and he have shut me down at his venue, I am left with no option but to walk away from the art prize altogether. I urge the art prize to kick the venue out like the BOB that have double standards about art. If they want to be moral police censoring art they should get out of art business.

I will not take part in the art prize if the BOB and the artprize did not apologize to me for damages they have caused.

And to protest on this issue I am going to burn all me art works that was suppost to be show in the show hoping this pave the way to for the future artist and for their freedom to do art.

I urge all my fellow the artists and my supporters all over the world not to give up hope and fight for freedom of expression of an artist. This time establishment has won but in future I would like to see artists win.

Hanging of Saddam Hussein

 

Day 1

Hanging of Saddam Hussein

This installation depicts the irony of the tyrant Saddam Hussein by hanging that was carried out from a military base called Camp Justice. Was this just a revenge killing? Did this resolve Iraq’s leadership problem? Was Saddam captive to the idea of dictatorship? George W. Bush had mentioned that he wished the execution “had gone on in a more dignified way.”  After all it was mob justice.

See it!! Experiece it!! Be Captivated!!

Day 1

"MOB JUSTICE"

This installation depicts the irony of the tyrant Saddam Hussein. You are seeing the death of this leader by hanging that was carried out from a military base called Camp Justice on December 30, 2006. An unauthorized recording released shows the convicted falling thru the trap door. George W. Bush had mentioned  that he wished the execution “ had gone on in a more dignified way.”  Was this just a revenge killing or did this resolve Iraq’s leadership problem. Saddam kept his people and America captive for over 20 years.

Chilled Monkey Brains

Artist singh has been working hard for the past few days. this monkey will be at the artprize. chilled monkey brains is work in progress

work in progress

chilled and ready to eat

animal cruety or not

In this installation we see the grotesque sight of chilled monkey brains, for some this beautiful creature is worshiped for its beauty and power. While on the other hand these creatures are hunted and killed for the mere delicacy of their brain. It’s been known to have been eaten chilled, raw, and fresh all straight from the skull. How would you like yours served.

14. 911

This installation shows the tragedy that befell America on 911.  We can see and feel a remnant of what happened that day, though it may be just a memory we are held captive by it.

15. MOST WANTED

This installation shows the ironic end of Osama bin Laden’s attack on America.  He turned from being the hunter and luring in the U.S. in a war against Jihadists, to being the Most Wanted Terrorists list of the world.  This earned him an unpleasant end and resting spot.  Or is he still out there?

16. OIL

In this work we see an example of a captor of many things.  The oil “GODS” if you will, hold captive the people of the world through their oil prices while leaving dying creatures of the sea to perish from many of their “accidents”.  

17. Chilled Monkey Brain

In this installation we see the grotesque sight of chilled monkey brains, for some this beautiful creature is worshiped for its beauty and power.  While on the other hand these creatures are hunted and killed for the mere delicacy of their brain. It’s been known to have been eaten chilled, raw, and fresh all straight from the skull.  How would you like yours served.

Captivity or a bird cage at the artprize contest

I interviewed Artist Singh today

Question 1. Why do you exactly call this piece Captivity?

Answer:  It is a state of being confined, enslaved, imprisoned or being held. In this project I am trying to project that how we become captive towards certain ideas in life.  It not only relates to captive animals, but also the fact that we are held captive by our own fears.

Question 2. Why did you decide to make a "Bird Cage"?? why not something else??
  Answer:                   I think its symbolic enough, dont you think ?

Question 3. Are there gonna be birds in the cage ?
Answer:  I dont know... no.

Question 4. How many subjects are going to be installed for all 19 days of Art Prize?
Answer:   19 subjects.... each day has its own subject matter with a different installation. In other words what you saw today will NOT be there the next day but there will be a picture collage of the previous days that people can see.

...and it Starts.

All of Friday Artist SinGh and his buddy worked hard to build the base of the Cage. When we said it was going to be BIG. We didn't know it was going to be this big. Its heavy its tall and its Going to truly Captivate the audience. Anyone who comes to Grand Rapids wont miss it standing just about 16ft tall and 17ft wide (and that's not even the main peace of art). It will be the talk of the town for each 19 days.

                                                                       The outline

                                                                    The first half

                                                                 Ran out of wood

                                                                     The Base is done

The Next Step

Today Artist SinGh has started working on the cage. He also went about rewriting the schematics of the cage, and it is going to even bigger then expected 17 by 20. Pictures of the progress will be showing up through out the weekend.
