Roots : “A stormy madness hitting artistsâ€

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

The matter is recurring in the Boz and will constitute a chain which strongest link will be  a “star killer” whom project will be quite witted : kill artists to free their works. The lattest, duly demonized and sent off without any directions, will happen, in the end of the track, to confront Future (a character in his whole) in a titanic clash during the Great War. In fact, it’s in the Great Commentary Book that the metaphor finds its whole meaning : setting the enigma of  “a representation of void” meant as the only shape fitting Transcendence.

Roots : a matchbox

Friday, September 1st, 2006

In fact, this locution is resonating with many scattered fragments in our book. From associations to associations, it creates a string of which we can point to the main terms : Hell - fire - smoke - a “sultry heat” - even “crematorium furnaces”, correlated with a holocaust. Each term in the series proving besides to be a “track-word”, we will de facto consider “matchbox” as a signifier lending itself to a progressive derivation of the whole Work. Oppositely to the “extinguished candle”, we will then sense the existence of a very blazing  and blinding luminous power. This will draw a kind of demarcation line between Good and Evil, unknown at first.

In this case, in avoiding to make the thesis heavy, only a text will be quoted. Evocative of a “sultry heat”, this text will exemplify , in a litterary way, the idea exposed in “the Boz and the Net”.

Roots : “Pop Art”

Friday, September 1st, 2006

We’ll think here of our visual work and its referents : Primitivism, in the “return to origin” meaning, initiated as early as 1907 by “les demoiselles d’Avignon”; and Pop Art, meant as its opposite, the un-dealization of art, for the benefit of icons leaning to triviality, of present, jet set successes and money worhiping. A tendency the Boz company will run to its edge, in initiating a company meant from the very beginning as a work of art for the form. For the content, however it’s rather different. Far from ephemera, the Boz company will indeed convey creations questionning Transcendence, in a topical way, derivated from Pop Art in the proven intent to subvert it. A paradoxal move evoking a figuere dear to antique mythology : the Trojan Horse.

Indeed, on the artistic level, our work will operate as a pair of pincers : an arm - Primitivism- questioning divine’s emergence; a second brand - Boz Company - to enter in the world and confront it to non-incidental things. (see Great Commentary Book’s segment about fashion)
