projects: the decade of recognition

10 years of evolution and understanding
personal and artistic growth comes in many forms, and draws connective parallels to each chapter in life that opens and closes. the list above is a physical representation of various explorations over the past decade. there were few successes, and many failures along the way. although a failure may seem like a failure, i have since understood that similar to these life chapters, it too closes and opens anew.
my project list is in no particular order [despite the numbers, letters, and numerals], it is not “finished,” and no single project is more important than another—they are all equals. in fact, some of these projects go even further back, past this decade: take photography for example. in earlier times, when i was in art school, it was my primary medium, nothing else mattered, and my focus was solely on documentary photography.
the studio
with a move to segovia, spain over the past six months, i have found a space where my creativity can thrive. throughout this space, i have designated particular areas to each practice [images below].
1: there is a large table by the windows where i have set up the typewriter, 404 MK II sampler, and speakers.
2: to the right of this is my mat, cushion, and zabuton for yoga and meditation.
3: the room near the front of the flat is the leatherwork studio.
4. the lower level of the apartment is the painting studio.
a decade in brief
art school
lest we forget, before the decade breakdown, this must be addressed. my thoughts on art school are vast and varied, but I will sum it up in simple terms: you either went to art school, or you didn’t.
yes, the politics, the structure, the system is indeed corrupt, and like all colleges or universities, its a money machine designed to further entangle individuals. however, to me it was an experience that had an unseen, almost secret, expansive influence that has embraced me through time. there is also an understood and recognized connective dialogue, even language, between myself and others who have lived the art school experience.
i have much more to say on this topic, but for now i will leave it at this. . . for better or worse, art school has proven [in time] to have had a major, positive influence on my intellectual and conceptual thought process, creative output, and ability to make deep cultural connections across the globe.

hello reader, welcome to my first post.
i would like to take a moment and give you a sense of what to expect from my blog. these entries will offer boundless and expansive dialogues about my past and present experience in the arts, with topics ranging from art education and administration, to inspiration and creative practice. the reflections will often take abstract form, shaped by the nature of each insight, and the story it tells.
it is my opinion that veracity is seldom practiced or celebrated in the art world. to me, it’s an honor to share my evolving artistic reflection and inquiry in this space.
thank you for visiting,
hans aue
