The Search for Reason
 

 
The music of awakened Solitude, is like the dance of falling leaves; the sound of silence carried by the tinkling of bells a thousand miles away.

In the event calendar for the University Cultural Centre, there is a line that goes:

In BIRDBRAIN, Stewart conjures a dismantled and unhinged retelling of the classic SWAN LAKE.

Interestingly, dismantling, parodizing, trivializing of any classic artwork is not possible without the prior institutionalizing, formalizing and canonizing of the original work. Being given a place of authority, an artwork gives itself to be taken down and be recycled.

The process of deitification, interpretation, re-interpretation, expression, re-expression feels like a blind man trying to paint Mona Lisa in ways that he sees as representative of his times.

Sometimes, I would just call it Frankensteinian art.
