Considering Positive Energy as an Art Medium

March 1, 2016

In recent years, I have worked with the idea of cultivating positive energy as an art me-dium. I have meditated alone and have organized group meditation events both with the purpose of cultivating positive energy and moving further away from a reliance on physical materials to create art. Continuing in the tradition of Conceptual Art, cultivat-ing positive energy as an art medium is a logical progression in non-object based art making.

Matthew McMilon is an interdisciplinary artist, MFA student, and was a part-time faculty member in Art at California State University, San Bernardino in fall 2015, teaching a painting class. That quarter, I was assigned to interview an art teacher in the community. I know Matt because we work together in CSUSB Community-based Art so I asked if I could interview him. Matt was teaching Beginning Painting and, as a painter myself, I was particularly excited to visit his classroom.

I want to start by addressing the origins of this interview; it grew out of a class I was teaching at CalArts that centered on contemporary pedagogy. We were discussing alternative classroom models and the students were very interested in artists who utilize the classroom environment as a means of social practice. Two students in particular mentioned your name as a desired guest, not actually thinking it would be possible, but then I asked and you agreed, which was wonderful.

Emma Kemp

 

“Earl Gravy—the ongoing collaborative experiment between Emma Kemp and Daniel Wroe.”

 

What’s in a name? There are many reasons to establish a moniker, albeit a silly one. To establish oneself as a corporation, for example. To default on student loan debt. To make a logo. To shape a brand. To employ a Conceptual Art Consultancy firm. To make a website. To utilize Optimal Keyword Density. To make a Facebook page. To make it BIG.
