Post Dogmatist Rules

Post Dogmatist rule #23

Shut up and Paint.

If you find yourself unable to paint. Read the Manifesto below and take your dogma for a walk.

POST-DOGMATIST MANIFESTO

(rough draft recorded by Patrick O'Kelly)

WE BELIEVE IN THE TRUE DOGMA,

AN UNLEASHED DOGMA,

ONE THAT WE ARE FREE OF CARING FOR.

A DOGMA THAT BARKS FEROCIOUSLY AT INTRUDING DOGMAS AND "ISMS" BUT IS ALSO TAME ENOUGH TO BE RIDDEN BY A CHILD.

A HOUSE BROKEN DOGMA.

WE BELIEVE IN A GUARD DOGMA THAT WILL RIP TO THE BONE ALL HISTORIANS AND CRITICS THAT WOULD TRY TO HARM ITS FREEORS.

IT KNOWS ITS PLACE.

IT WILL NOT ENTER IN THE CHURCH OR SCHOOL.

IF OUR FREE OF DOGMA/DOGMA FALLS INTO THE WRONG HANDS AND IS CORRUPTED OR IF SOMEONE TRIES TO DOGMATIZE OUR DOGMA OR IT OTHERWISE BECOMES A THREAT TO THE ARTISTS COMMUNITY, IT SHOULD BE GATHERED UP BY THE DOGMA CATCHERS AND PUT TO SLEEP.( 1987 )

Sculpture | Bob Rizzo - worth a look.

Sculpture | Bob Rizzo

"Over the past few years, I have created a series of assemblage sculptures that share certain aesthetic qualities based on my desire to engage the viewer, encouraging them to look for meaning in the various attachments or the "other" story of the objects. The potential for these deeper-seated interpretations points not only to my interest in tribal art but also references the assemblage of Dada and Surrealism, and the derivative nature of contemporary pop culture. "
