the summer of 2021.
\nit’s already in the military history books \/ but, if as the start of WWW III, remains to be seen. it might be the summer of love & creative freedom \/ up in the Catskills, but not around the globe.
\nthe targeted civillian as well as U.S.A. military killing \/ has begun.
\nsurprise, surprise, Not.
\nwhat a . . bloody b-o-d-y \/ cruel death trap that excuse for an ‘airport’ is.
\nit’s not an airport, it’s a killing field.
\nwith a wretched, talk about ‘medieval’, sewer-infested moat, aka ‘canal’ around it . . to catch the dead \/ once fleeing \/ bodies. bodies. bodies.
\nis it only the artists – with their sense of volume & space – that could have told you that weeks ago ?
\nmaybe they need more artists – in the Pentagon.
\nyou know, maybe when we are all ‘trans-morphed’ into robotic A.I., it really won’t be so bad.<\/p>\n

and, if you<\/strong> are looking for your art – without political, and \/ or social awareness \/ community commentary \/ temperature . . all isolated & pure, well, you<\/strong> are looking in all the wrong places, if you’re looking here.<\/p>\n

as you might have already – intuited by our LUKE MURPHY \/ LukeLab.com<\/a> animated, digital . . ‘RESIST’ banner – that runs across this page. <\/p>\n

FUN FACT: I do, as I write this \/ remember when I first<\/strong> met PATRICK MOHUNDRO, who runs P.A.D. \/ who as a 2nd year MFA student presented: ‘The Big Short’, a brilliant compendium of small, alternative, indie curatorial projects \/ in a cramped Hunter office basement, in Feb of 2018 . . that one of the first things he said to me, was: how much he liked the ‘RESIST’ banner – on the artlovers website, just btw.<\/p>\n

see:<\/strong> ‘THE BIG SHORT’ \/ MOHUNDRO & JANOWICK – HUNTER \/ artloversnewyork – FEB 2018<\/a><\/p>\n

well, get out there, to the Catskills, and show your ‘freedom’ colors – people !!
\nI wanna say, don’t jump up and down \/ on the glass floor !!!<\/p>\n

as, you listen to early 60s Rolling Stones<\/strong> blaring through your car radio, as the perfect, angry anthem soundtrack – c\/o CHARLIE WATTS, RIP this past week.<\/p>\n

P.A.D. x CRAIG POOR MONTEITH \/ DON’T STEP ON THE GLASS !!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCRAIG POOR MONTEITH, ‘Leaded Stained Glass’ packing pad \/ will be presented by P.A.D. – this glorious summer weekend.
\nnote: JESSI LI lamp including limbs \/ aka body parts – at the top. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCRAIG POOR MONTEITH, ‘stained, leaded glass Moving Pad’, 2021 \/ P.A.D.
\nps:<\/strong> well, ‘glass’ . . has only<\/em> been a really really big topic – on artlovers this year. D.I.Y. and, people sick of the screens & and a grass roots \/ peaceful . . intellectual revolt vs. the high price \/ elitist ticket \/ blue chip \/ art market \/ auction circuit.<\/p>\n

JEFFREY TRANCHELL,<\/strong> of ‘Turn Onz’, Detroit \/ & my go-to for all things D.I.Y., but esp. glass & the associated field of electric lamps & light switches \/ & just artists going (sustainable) crazy, creative wild on functional objects in general . . . tells me:
\n“I know CRAIG . . very well, he learned to solder glass at my house in Detroit.”
\nsurprise, surprise, NOT.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCRAIG POOR MONTEITH, ‘stained, leaded glass Moving Pad’, 2021 at P.A.D.<\/p>\n

as well, my other D.I.Y. stained glass maven, JONNY CAMPOLO<\/strong> who is a Brooklyn-based friend of Jeffrey’s \/ whose fused glass light switches, where presented by ‘Turn Onz’, Detroit – at the recent Nada, Governors Island \/ and covered on these pages, told me:
\n“Craig is a friend of mine, and Jeff’s. Craig has a cool story – his mom [quite the craftsperson, esp ceramics I believe, or was that his grandfather ? – Nancy],
\nwas a stained glass artist, and taught him everything.” <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\nboth images above, the ‘light’ & the ‘dark’ . . . . !!!!!:
\nCRAIG POOR MONTEITH, stained, leaded glass floor piece . . at P.A.D. x JAG Projects x NADA x Foreland.<\/p>\n

note:<\/strong> the fluctuation of color \/ as the light hits the glass, dependent on ambiance and time of day & type of camera, I guess \/ and how it is reflected \/ recorded back to us – via a camera.<\/p>\n

isn’t . . <\/strong> stained glass, such a wonderful, mysterious, man-made of natural materials – object \/ surface ? it plays with light. it plays with spatial perception. it can be transparent, it can be opaque.
\nit can be strong, or fragile.
\nand, for this . . to be a parody<\/strong> of the whole P.A.D. \/ Project Art Distribution \/ soft <\/em>moving pad – concept ? <\/p>\n

that’s so, so . . .
\nunbelievable – ACE !!!!!!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n
