BIO

THE MANIFESTO:
Art does not love you, and cares not your opinion of it. Art hates the rising of mercury and the clear sense of purpose. Art is a winding boa forever unable to tie itself in a bow tie, but always aware of the smell in the room. That smell is audience. Parasitic by nature, wise like a lemming, blind as a thrown stone on the surface of a lake. The lake, that polluted body of undrinkable water, sends its odors from Hollywood all the way to Jerusalem. We choose grains of sand to stand in for time because we know the weight of timeless things. We throw pianos from the moon because we believe in abrupt endings. We use women like chopsticks, and chopsticks like women because we know that neither is perfect to eat food with and that is why we must make films because films will not unmake us. If they could we would all have video wills buried in the brains of automobile gods strung across garbage fields of dreams.
Gratuitous Art Productions/Films is a collaborative effort between filmmaker and artist Jeff Burns and Cat Gilbert.

After Jeff worked his fingers to the skeletal core on Halloween we’ve given him a little breather to finish up a exciting and long anticipated feature film. However, that doesn’t mean the work doesn’t keep on coming! We’ve got three new pieces featuring some terrific musicians accompanied by our visual interpretations ! First up a goody from Halloween featuring Ras Moshe and others!
Time, that elusive saint, waits for no man and little more for women. Let it tick, you won’t sway it’s stance as it’s chimes out the eternal hidden noise.

THE 22 MAGAZINE PRESENTS:
SCROLL BOWL V
APRIL 2nd
ONE NIGHT ONLY, 7pm
TenEleven Bar
171 Avenue C
Harnessing
the ancient power of scroll storytelling, some of the world's finest
creators gather to show off their work on large and small rolls of
parchment. Created in 2008 by artist Will Varner, Scroll Bowl was a
unique way for artists and illustrators to present their work large
scale and interactively. In 2009 Will Varner left the Scroll Bowl
project to pursue a professional illustration career and artist/curator
John Jennison took over the project. After accepting Jennison as one of
the premier issue contributors, The 22 Magazine partnered with him to
present Scroll Bowl as both a performance and installation event.
Drawing from an array of traditions, commentary and communication,
Scroll Bowl V presents a modern look at the scroll as both an object
and as a tool. Focusing on the artist's approach to an ancient
tradition Scroll Bowl V speaks through sound, video, installation and
drawing. Through this exploration we hope to elicit a rediscovery of
scrolls and our views of them.

THE 22 MAGAZINE
The 22 is annual arts and literature online magazine that seeks to explore connections and intersections between the works of artists, musicians and writers. In some portions of The 22 the structure is presented as a diptych or sometimes triptych, allowing the viewer to actively participate in the task of opening the hinges that link conversation between the pieces.
The 22 Show was formed to showcase the talents of each issue’s contributors. This year’s show will feature performances, music, reading and film work from several of the artists and writers. By forming a collective group and by carefully selecting contributors whose work is enhanced through combination, The 22 Show is a comparison and celebration of the voice of the artist as solo and unified.
