btw, JACOB JACKMAUH a current co-director of ART LOT BROOKLYN,
\nalso likes to . . . ‘micro-dose’ his art work.
\nand, pretty – seriously, too !!!<\/p>\n

that’s pretty damn . . radical. hardcore – to the core. the narrative, too.
\nhardcore contrarian – radical.
\nmicro-dosing \/ esp. as in 3-d micro-sculpture, is to fabricate \/ design \/ create . . small, but super wonderous objects, that have the potential to make out-size impressions, leap-frog your imagination, and . . . just plain ole jog – your mind-set.
\nI’d say: mission accomplished . . !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJACOB (JAKE) JACKMAUH, ‘B09CDBK9RF’ – staged on a wall.
\nof course, a BIG part of BEING BIG \/ LITTLE . . !!
\nis how<\/strong> the work is presented \/ is it going to be displayed on a big wall, that is otherwise empty, to show up its micro-ness ?
\nor, is it more 3D, and placed on a wall-shelf \/ or even, supported by a pedestal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJACOB JACKMAUH, ‘Huddled Mass I’, 2022.
\ndiscarded fiberglass and resin mold fragment, moss, lichen, dirt, pine needles, acrylic paint, varnish, hardware.
\n39-1\/4 x 42-5\/6 x 8-3\/4 in.<\/p>\n

this project is a little larger, and (only)<\/strong> a little more conventional, than ‘B09CDBK9RF’ above \/ but – it still counts.
\nthe interesting part here, apart from the narrative of the materials, and the classic shape, of course \/ is how it’s . . . . presented. <\/p>\n

\nJACOB JACKMAUH, ‘Civic Virtue’, 2022.
\nbiodegradable paper straws, brass plated paper fasteners, sugar free chewing gum, saliva.
\n22 x 23 x 23 in.<\/p>\n

I actually posted the above piece, a mini-geodesic ‘straw’ dome, this past Dec 2022.
\nit’s still<\/strong> very relevant, and maybe the forerunner of my<\/strong> mini-moment of micro-dose consciousness \/ euphoria . . . !!
\nesp. in that it wasn’t tied to a vernacular object, such as a ‘lightswitch’.
\nthe scale of an art work in a photo – is often left open \/ to the beholder. <\/p>\n

what’s striking<\/strong> here – is also another <\/strong>aspect of being a genuine micro-dose, and, that is – the photo staging !!!
\nas well as, the ‘in real life’ staging. <\/p>\n

at first photo glance – one is certainly feed <\/strong>the illusion, that this is <\/strong>a really large ‘faux’ straw geodesic dome, esp. because of that clever background horizon line that reads as the point where a classic white gallery wall, meets a concrete gallery floor \/ the concrete-toned table base is key to the illusion, as well. <\/p>\n

see how these tiny things are kicking madly to get free \/ and, be recognized in all their mini-glory ?!!
\njust like a tiny squirrel struggling to get free – in your hands . . !!<\/p>\n

the days of . . . CLAES OLDENBERG, JEFF KOONS, and maybe even URS FISCHER \/ are over.
\nI mean – and, so are the 80s !!<\/em>
\nthat art ball that once was a room-sized joke, is now a beach ball, if not . . .
\na marble. a craft bead. and even, . . . a tiny unicorn. <\/p>\n
