Art Idea: Contemplations

1. mount a bicycle to a piano to allow it to strike the wires and produce sound.

should look insane/crazy. and be awful sounding.

build a fleet of these.

2. how can you produce bright red fireball explosions?

the kind that they have at major exhibitions where it’s all points of light sparkling in the sky?

could you have a half hour or more of just that?

then the next day green?

then blue or purple?

everyday a different color so the sky is just one big solid glow of a certain hue for a brief moment???

3. videotape firecrackers exploding in honey.

4. lay a trail of gunpowder on honey and burn it. maybe it extends or ends in a large explosion.

5. make collages in public from materials found in public.

using detritus and trash construct collages on public surfaces. like on walls.

Pol Rosenthal has been working in Seattle's theater and music scenes for over 20 years. He used to publish a cultural arts journal then moved to Seattle to be in a rock band, TCHKUNG. This lead to him working with DK Pan's senses altering Butoh company, the P.A.N. In the late 90s he worked for sonic conspiracy company Muzak and while walking out the door helped found radical street art/action group the Infernal Noise Brigade. There he befriended and became a member of multi-disciplinary effort The Degenerate Art Ensemble. Eventually, he moved in next door to Seattle theater company Implied Violence (now St. Genet) and has enjoyed a multi-year, unhealthy relationship to their demanding work and philosophies. Last year he was in Curtis Taylor's 'The White Days' as an "actor". Presently he's wrapped up dancing in Paige Barnes' modern dance piece 'Lead Bunny' (Oct 2012) and is working on Dayna Hanson's rock musical 'Gloria's Cause'. In October he collaborated with Real Change editor Rosette Royale on a wonderful installation, 'JungleBox', for City Arts Fest.
