艺术家及作品简介：

Rodney O’Neal Austin

求你救我,3分钟。黑色和白色组合成的斑叶,声音,1994

我写这首歌是1982年在俄亥俄州的Beavercreek高中时候,我觉得我是这个星球上的生命唯一的同性恋者,并且我希望有人来救我脱离我的孤独。1989年我搬到旧金山, ,我的同性恋朋友们在1990年代中期的艾滋病病毒中一一离我而去,这首歌对我有了新的含义,于是我就把它制作成一部小电影。现在这首歌不仅仅表现了一个思想落后的社会旁观者的感情，还表达了我们对于在这个受艾滋病袭击的世界的一种对自由的渴望和最求。这也是一首希望能够给那些在这个世界上不注重性安全和对性不健康的人敲响警钟！

Ajna Lichao

《2007温泉》

一开始的表演系列:神圣贝壳，我的中指。

我刚度过温泉周末，在那里我很谨慎地独自一人。在这特别的温泉里放松，在错误的时刻,你的目光中,他们遇到一起。通常你可能会说:“我能托起你吗?”或说:“我有很棒的房间。我想邀请你和我一起来,所以我可以给你按摩。”

我判若无人地享受那儿热热的和冰冷冰冷的水池。我变得轻松,我所有的废话滑移遥远进入其他人的生理和心理水池。

星期天早上醒来时,一个结在我的脖子上。早餐我坐在大而圆的温泉的公共桌旁。在我的对面。他注意到我抚摸和拉伸我的脖子,他主动提出要帮助缓解了我的痛苦。我说:“是的。”我们两个的脖子纠缠到了一起。

Artist Statement

Rescue me, 3 min. Black and White, sound, 1994

I wrote this song while attending Beavercreek High School 1982, in Ohio, when I felt like I was the only gay person on the planet, and I wanted someone to Rescue Me from my solitude. Later after I moved to San Francisco CA, 1989 and my gay friends started to die in the mid 1990’s from the AIDS virus, the song took on new meaning for me, so I reworked it into this film. Now it is not only about feelings of being judged as being an outsider by a backwards thinking society, but also about longing to have the freedom to be promiscuous in a AIDS stricken world. It is a song about longing to throw caution to the wind and experience unsafe sex, in a world where we simply can’t.

Spring 2007

An account of: the beginning of the cameo series: fetish cameo: my middle finger.

I just returned from a weekend at the hot springs. Usually I am very guarded there, staying within myself. At these particular hot springs the moment you relax and mistakenly meet another’s gaze, they jump. The usual questions you might get: “Can I float you?” Or: “I have a really nice room. I would like to invite you to come with me so I can give you a massage.”

I like to be anonymous there keeping to myself enjoying the hot hot and cold cold pools. I become relaxed, all of my bullshit slipping far away into a pool of everyone else’s de-toxing (both physically and psychologically).

Sunday morning I woke up with a major kink in my neck. At breakfast I sat at the large round table, which is the hot spring’s local communal table. Sitting across from me was this man. He noticed that I was rubbing and stretching my neck, and he offered to help relieve my pain. I said, “Yes.” We both had kinks in our necks.

Two hours later after spending time together, talking, and rubbing each other’s kinked necks he offered to float me. I never do this, but this time I agreed. It was so divine. My body became completely limp, my vulnerability completely unveiled. I felt like I was floating through an abyss inside a womb. At the end I floated up into his arms, and we embraced each other leaning against the wall. Being in a public space, we remained calm, but inside my mind I was imagining him lifting me up onto his cock, as he would be biting my neck. His hard penis rubbing against my leg was helping my fantasy, as was his naked hard body pressing against mine, against the wall. All I could do is breath quietly and hard.

After coming back from the hot springs, I felt inspired to do a video a piece. I now forgot my original idea, but some how the residue of Sundays experience was still inside my skin. As I was setting up the camera I suddenly and spontaneously had an urge to play with myself.

The rest came along afterwards…

STATEMENT:

Happily, I have no quick, one-word answer to the “what kind of art do you make” question: it’s sculpture, installation, painting, drawing, photo, video, performance, teaching, and curating. The questions that provoke my projects necessitate varied approaches. They frequently address intercultural exchange, often playing with notions of culture, difference, liminality or authenticity. The friction in my work comes from the mish-mash visual poetics of outsider status, temporality, literature and slapstick rubbing up against political realities and global inequities. I make work that is honest, political, weird, interior, irreverent and imaginative, employing as many strategies as seem appropriate.

In getting reacquainted with the art and academic elite in recent years, I’ve been alternately shocked and inspired by the degrees of indifference, resistance, rhetoric and action being taken vis-à-vis the ever-thorny questions of diversity and representation. All of these experiences have only clarified my commitments to a multiplicitous practice that engages voices often unheard or under-represented in the arts.

Collaboration and camaraderie are integral parts of my practice: recent projects have involved friends and strangers in all manner of creatively weird situations. I do not particularly consider myself an artist in isolation: the most satisfying work I’ve participated in has involved exchange, sharing, joking, and cooperation. It makes things more relevant, and more fun, immediately.

"Wet" is part of a continually evolving series loosly titled "Narrative Gestures" which represents simple behaviors and actions presented as discreet, onanistic performances. This work uses short, action-based videos as phrases, which assemble and reassemble themselves to create constantly shifting narratives. "Wet" explores a range of possible relationships with the body and celebrates self-awareness (rather than self-consciousness) with humor and physical honesty. The viewer can relate to, objectify or fear that which they “read” –the work invites them to experience a sense of disconsonance in relation to what they are most familiar with—the female body as art object
