Seminar
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Events, Installations
This is about 2 years old, but it was the most fun I ever had making art (if that’s what you call it!). I photocopied this poster that I made up onto orange paper and hung them on all of the message boards and doors in Brown Hall (the Science Building on campus). I even got some responses!
Here is the text that appears on the poster (if you can’t read it):
VISITING LECTURER SERIES
This March please welcome:
Dr. Majumdar Abdullah-Al-Kafi, Ph.D and Dr. Fumisuke Matsuo, M
Have you ever traveled to the Fifth Dimension?
I bet you have! Now it can be proven
ABSTRACT
The Fifth Dimension, formerly thought to be only theoretically possible, has now been proven to exist.
Using the groundbreaking technique of Intuitive Mathematics, Dr. Majumdar Abdullah-Al-Kafi Ph.D,has discovered the art of representing abstract concepts in what he has coined ‘Thought-Space’ (aka. the Fifth Dimension). From its birth in the minds of Theodor Kaluza and Oskar Klein, to the creation of Dr. Abdullah-Al-Kafi’s innovative new system called Intuitive Mathematics and its application to representing human emotion, all will be discussed. There will be a question and answer period after the lecture.
Following the question and answer period will be a brief talk (by invitation only) by world renowned
neurophysiologist Dr. Fumisuke Matsuo who will probe the neurological origins of ‘Thought-Space’ in the brain’s synaptic functions and how humans are able to access this curled-up dimension through ion channels.
ETSU is fortunate to have Drs. Abdullah-Al-Kafi and Matsuo speak on their limited engagement
schedule on their first ever tour of the United States.
Refreshments will be served.
TIME/DATE: To be determined by the tour schedule. Space WILL BE LIMITED, so please email:
oscarchandrapoor@yahoo.com to make a reservation for this seminar.
AND HERE ARE THE RESPONSES (names omitted intentionally to save them possible embarrassment):
Hi,
I’d like to attend this seminar you that have advertised at ETSU and would like to meet with the speakers and ask questions if possible. Please let me know when the date for this seminar will be set and where exactly you are planning to hold it. Thanks much
and
Hi,
Has a date been determined yet? or has it already passed? I’m typically clueless… but if I may reserve a spot that clue may come.

I’ve been putting my portfolio together because I need to start applying for jobs, so I’ve been taking some better pictures of my artwork. I finally took some clear pictures of the door (which still remains untitled), here they are:
Taurus Wall Drawing

It seems as if I received a better response regarding the wall drawing/painting than the combined installation, so here’s a shot I took of just the wall drawing/painting before the framed pieces were added on.
Taurus

This is the lithographic installation, titled Taurus, I had at the Look Out Below show at the Tipton Street Gallery in Johnson City, TN. The show in general was a huge success! My piece received a pretty decent reception — what do you think?

About a month after installing You Can’t Be What You Were (the previous post) I hung up a scientific research poster in the ‘Student Research Poster of the Month’ spot, which just happened to be right around the corner from my installation. I chose the hang it up on April 1st. After taking a look at the poster, I think you’ll see why I chose that specific date:
