Exhibition Title:          travis        @ NEW CAPITAL PROJECTS  
         
                                  Performing ALBINO     at the Closing of
                                  Kandis Williams's "New Catalogue" Exhibition.

                "Kandis Williams produces large-scale black and white collages that track a deeply
                 personal on-going exploration of racial-nationalism, authority, eroticism, magic and
                 violence. For her show as New Capital's first artist in residence, Williams takes the
                 recent Tanzanian folk conviction that the arms and legs of albinos can be used in
                 magic potions, and weaves copies of a documentary photograph of a severed
                 Tanzanian albino arm into intricate and hypnotic lattice structures.

                 Using collage as a deliberately hideous metaphor for violence, these repetitive and
                 idiosyncratic nets, formed from specific incidents of sociological chaos, are set against
                 monochromatic gradients, suggestive of deep space and the occurrence of these
                 incidents over time, compounding the horror and fascination with both physical and
                 ideological difference. Williams implicates both herself and the audience in the
                 intoxication of commodity - fetishism, dramatizing the mind's struggle for truth in
                 moral judgment.

                 Kandis Williams was raised in Baltimore. She received her BFA from Cooper Union
                 and is currently based in Berlin."

                                  (Contextualizing Club, Music, Street/Altenative Scenes)

                                  "The Club and Music Scene:
                                           Making Nightlife, Creating Community"
                QUOTE
                This series of three gallery conversations propose that we look at Mark Bradford's work
                in relation to different social and cultural contexts. Led by a guest presenter and museum
                staff, at each, we ask: What the nature of this scene? What record of it do we see in
                Bradford's art? Why does it matter to his work and to culture now?

                With Joe Bryl, acclaimed DJ, music programmer and former Sonotheque owner;
                Travis, multidisciplinary artist and lead member of the boundary-crossing music
                and performance group ONO; and
                Aay Preston-Myint, interdisciplinary artist and active scene-maker through the
                collaborative groups Chances Dances and No Coast.

                ONO                 Stalwart psychedelic art rockers
                ONO have been a fixture in the Chicago underground
                for almost three decades.
                Incorporating spoken word and performance art elements
                into their aggressively strange noise, ONO's live act is
                dynamic and decidedly out of left-field.

                   Under the Sycamore Trees
                                                  The dark trees that blow baby
                                                  In the dark trees that blow     
                   And I'll see you       And you'll see me

                =THE GREAT PRETENDER (Eno)
                   Monica sighed/Rolled onto her side/She was so impressed that she just surrendered
                   She was moved by his wheels/She was just up from wales/He was fuelled by her coals
                   and he was coming to catch her
                   Lose the sense of time/Nail down the blinds/And in the succulent dark
                   there’s a sense of ending
                   Joking aside/The mechanical bride/Has fallen prey to the great pretender.
                                      Let me just point out discreetly Though you never learn
                                      All those tawdry late night weepies I could make you weep more cheaply
                                      As the empty moon enamels Monica with spoons and candles
                                      Bangs around without the light on Furniture to get it right on
                                      Settled in a homely fishpool Hung with little eels
                                      Often thinks that travel widens ’stay at home, the trout obliges’
                   Monica sighed/Rolled on to her side/She was so impressed that she just surrendered.

                THE TECHNITRONIC WIDOWMAKERS DRAG ON (travis/ONO)
                Black, therewithal without moonbeam gazed I
                Upon some blazing Countenance set free
                Entranced here held full high a cashmere sky
                Unstirred, invoked. Before her there a tree
                Sprang forth. Old Age bemoaned (in bloom)
                Her fruit: Truth: Sudden shadowplay in dream
                No more! Forlorn? I know not, only doom
                That veils compel Nirvana, graven, gleam
                Perchance this Dragon’s vanity, God’s Tongue
                Illumined like his father’s sad delight
                A martyred Verse, a ruthless, silv’ry night
                Indulged ‘til, limpid, Truth had fast too long
                                 As Vespers eve widows followed here on.
                                 So strong an omen yet; too weak to run.

                ELEPHANT (Jesse Thomas)
                Are you my friend? I am an elephant
                they keep me in here but not for too long
                because these bars are nothing but toothpicks
                and this fence is much too small
                Are you my friend?
                I am not a part of this
                this is the last time I make this senseless walk
                these hollow hallways will soon belong to me
                I wasn’t meant for you and I will not forget
                I am an Elephant
                Are you my friend?
                this is appalling can’t keep pretending I'm getting smaller
                this performance will divide us
                suffered silent slings for far too long
                most of them taunt me
                underestimate today is my day
                and I am not your property
                this sickness creeps and crawls me
                I am as human as the worst of you I am an Elephant

                JESUS AND TEQUILA by Minutemen/JoeCarducci
                I had a girl                    She loved what she saw
                She loved me so good   She made her daddy mad
                My woman cried            She's dead to me now
                My woman ran off         And I can't deny it
                My life - Jesus and tequila I'm satisfied And I can't deny it
                I had a job                    It paid me good
                I could have my phone [FUN?] And tip the preacher too
                My boss yelled               He's dead to me now
                My boss kicked me out  And I can't deny it
                My life - Jesus and tequila I'm satisfied And I can't deny it
                You better listen to me 'Cause I'm gonna tell you, son
                Don't give away your love And don't give away your sweat
                Because a girl can't know you And a boss can't afford you
                Remember Jesus and tequila I'm satisfied And I can't deny it
                Remember Jesus and tequila I'm satisfied And I can't deny it

                VEIL © 2011 (Words/travis:Noise/ONO)
                Today I wear a veil; I turn away from the prey
                The swamp you loved so much retains me
                And with the hunt a rancid power play.
                Hunger. We never hunted for hunger.
                We aim our sights; out the lights
                And then our siblings overstay.
                The dogs are whining.
                Forever I will howl from the clay.
                Behind my veil I see your face
                Every Decoration Day.

BRITCHES © 2011 by travis      

     I DON’T WANT NO BOW RIBBONS ON MY BRITCHES.
     I stood out FRONT of the Temple proclaiming my victory over the Devil
Preachers Saints & Christians LAUGH at me.
In BACK of the Temple I met an angel of the devil; an agent inside a wheel.
I answered: I DON’T WANT NO BOW RIBBONS ON MY BRITCHES.
     My desires aside I deny my father’s hatred: [My father hates me;
my father has always hated me; in death my father shall forever hate me.]
Embarrass his shame/Embarrass his name. Much as I can I follow. I shadow. I leave me alone!
Plunging into the Light
      I DON’T WANT NO BOW RIBBONS ON MY BRITCHES.
      I Wave to his Shroud in Vain. He is Wasted in Ash. He is Whining. He is Wind.
      He is Torn from Shame.                                I Visit the Grave. I Fall on the Ground.
AMAZING GRACE (Verses 1&3)                          John Newton (1725-1807)
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound                Through many dangers, toils and snares
That saved a wretch like me.                               I have already come;
I once was lost but now I'm found                     'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
Was blind, but now I see.                                   And Grace will lead me home.

                DANGER     A Film Directed by Michael J. Phillips, Jr.
                                  Featuring Technology & Effects by JayVe Montgomery

                ONO:          P.Michael Grego / Rebecca Pavlatos / Jesse Thomas /
                                  DaWei Wang / MiMi Wallman / travis

                Herewith, my modest proposal:
                 = = = = = = = ONO     //DANGER//     PREMISE: Desire LEADS TO Assumption.
                 No discernible light or light source. Darkness. Animal sounds. White space.
                 Two queen sized white sheets (or plastic, but preferably sheets for projections and
                 dismembering) slash the diegesis at odd angles. Mysterious stillness permeates a
                 space thick with undercurrents slowly rising from mournful gospel bass guitar and
                 droning, foreboding organ. Irregular flashes of light (w/images of Wild Dogs or other
                 animals in the wild?) and roll of thunder. Camera pans space, but in snatches/flashbacks.
                 Shadowy outlines of ONO members. MiMi (demure as if she is a child/bride OR Costumed!)
                 is positioned in a child’s chair, but beckons the viewer by “reaching out.”
                 (Here: Temperamental Lighting) MiMi sings: “Apple in the Tree…” [While I’m here /
                  I’m reaching out /About to touch / To love too much / A hand on branch / One red desire /
                 A fire carte blanche / A heart on fire]. ^^^ Before Mimi’s final phrase ends, ONO intro to
                “Berlin Cowboy” is well underway, INTERFERING (Funhouse/Change lighting) muddying the
                 accompaniment to “Apple in the Tree.” ONO voices overlay/overlap MiMi as ONO speak phrases
                 from “I Am An Elephant” Repeated/Injected (Homonculus). Build into “Berlin Cowboy”
                 at first utterly disjointed and broken/out of tune, then: [“Radio Hobo Wild Coyote /
                 16 stallions a wild coyote / Berlin cowboy got a blood reaction / You better sell these uniforms
                 join a freedom faction (Repeat) / (CHANGE) / And she waits for the doctor / Sally saves all
                 her favours for the doctor / She’s a radio hobo wild coyote / 16 stallions a wild coyote /
                 Sally left home gone a bought herself a pony / 16 stallions a wild coyote / Berlin cowboy
                 better take heed / She tans the cowhide & she takes the lead / Berlin town got a
                 blood reaction / you better sell these uniforms / join a freedom faction / (CHANGE) /
                 And she waits for the doctor / Sally saves all her favours for the doctor / She’s a radio hobo
                 wild coyote (Repeat)”] ^^^ After the second change, guitars DUEL and MiMi destroys all
                 remaining rhythmic patterns as she SCREECHES AND HOWLS//UNMUSICALLY (while pointing
                 surveillance lamps into the eye of the camera/viewer): [While I’m here / I’m reaching out /
                 About to touch / To love too much / A hand on branch / One red desire / A fire carte blanche /
                 A heart on fire]. VOICES: “I AM AN ELEPHANT! I AM AN ELEPHANT!” ^^^ P.Michael bass leads
                 Jesse guitar to control the DISorder by imposing one final INTERFERENCE (Funhouse):
                 DANGER! Big Intro To DANGER! MiMi is out front! Wild Dogs are Howling!/DaWei to the fore!
                 travis is in the rear of the White Box, changed into all-white, and climbs a ladder to deliver:
                 DANGER: [“I was up there with the stone in my eye / I turned to you and there was only the
                 Moon and the Sky / Come here Eagle Boy / Don’t tell me you love NoNoNo / You have the
                 schemes but I have the numbers / And the Demon in the middle of the firmament /
                 Come here Eagle Boy; Come Here! / You have the schemes but I have the numbers /
                 and the Demon in the middle of the firmament.”] Danger provides a reasonable opportunity
                 for our director’s audio/video thematic overlays/juxtapositions, a good degree of
                 Assumption and no small hint of Apocalypse! /travis

HAPPY THANKSGIVING  &  MOTHER'S FUNERAL

Dear +++: Happy Thanksgiving. I am very happy to hear from you. I think of you often.
Mother is dead.
Here’s the story of Saturday 20NOV10.
Friday 1700 Southwest flight Chgo MDW to Cleveland. Delayed two hours. Finally arrive CLE.
Shuttled to CLE auto rental. Collected Alamo rental car. My preferred auto was gone.
Upgraded to a gigantic black 2010 Chevy Impala w/Massachusetts license plates.
Drove 1.3 hours to Akron, OH. Checked into Red Roof Inn (w/room for four) at 0230.
Wake-up call 0830. Up at 0800. Drive to Templeton Ministries COGIC, 994 Swartz Rd.,
for Mother’s funeral.
That was fun.
Friends and family from MS, OH and MI. Lots of singing, dancing, food/repast, etc.
To my enduring surprise, my family did not throw themselves into the casket.
They did not faint and fall about. They did not require nurses. And there lay Mother’s corpse,
exquisite make-up beneath a bed of highly fragrant flowers (The Graceful Tribute Casket Spray,
Colonial Florist #TF201-1). Deep purple roses, and endless other flora, fell gracefully about the
New Point Saturn White/Pink 20 gauge metal casket. Perfect hair. Pearls perfect in her pierced ears.
Perfect airbrush blush. Full-length, off-white evening dress with matching pumps!
Actually, quite an ordinary affair. Then came the big fun. The three-block processional snaked the
full breadth of Akron into downtown and busy West Market Street, led by Sheriff escort’s flashing lights!
matching Cadillac hearse and limousines. I drove the last car in the procession, as it was very impressive
to see the crawl up and down Akron’s very steep, hilly terrain and summer-perfect roadways.
It was a perfect day; I could have left my black leathers at home in Chgo.
^^^ Inside the spectacular landscape of beautiful Glendale Cemetery, one slithers through a cavernous
maze of 50ft-100ft hillsides, cliffs, ravines, etc., covered with Gothic Chapel, Neo-Gothic and Renaissance
facades and endless Romanesque-covered-in-vines. It is on the National Register.
“The Guardian of Akron’s Heritage Since 1839.” Then, there it is! Mother ordered a curious crypt/vault,
huge and highly glazed in silver, sitting in Section 42 Lot 3, in the garden by the side of the road.
Pallbearers deliver the casket to a waiting pedestal. Tented Ceremony; again surprisingly uneventful.
No one threw themselves into the casket or into the grave! I have a great conversation with the pastor
about “all this hardware to rot in the ground.” Then, everyone leaves the sylvan landscape to the blaring
of my niece’s bass booming from the butt of her truck: Just a hint of New Orleans.
They return to repast and party at Templeton. I grow old in Glendale graveyard.
A small army of gravediggers descend upon the scene. We chat. The huge, silver 12 gauge Clark Steel Vault
is raised into the air by a heavy, black spidery trucklike device. It is placed over the casket and pedestal.
Four locks click the parts securely together, then the heavy burden is lifted into the air and moved away
from the grave. Wooden supports, turf, etc., are removed from grave site, and the giant silver vault
returns and is lowered into the ground: Fewer than four inches from the foot of the next vault;
like condominiums. Then, a bright, freshly-washed, poppy-red Tonka Toy Dump Truck arrives with soil.
It is beautiful, heavy, the same length as the grave. Perfectly positioned, it arches its back and dumps its load,
perfectly planting Mother’s mortal remains in the dirt.
I sniff the purple roses and drive 1.3 hours back to Alamo; return the auto; shuttle to CLE;
fly Southwest to MDW; arrive home at 1945; pack my bags and drive an hour to Mortville
haul my equipment up three flights of stairs; and I am onstage at 2100 performing with ONO
(P.Michael, Rebecca, MiMi, Jesse, Dawei and me).
