Its Bidin’ Time. It’s that weird time between presidents. Old MAGA geezer sits in the WH believing he’s won (he hasn’t.) The other, older, “vote for the other guy,” CREEPY FONDLER and master fucker upper of all things political is on the sidelines talmbout “Nothing Will Fundamentally Change.” Stumbling into this picture is our Parisian duo. ANNA MARIA & CHALECO SALVAVIDAS had just left Dunkin Donuts where Anna, hankerin’ for a croissant was disappointed to learn the Dunkin Donuts didn’t have croissants. “What we got,” said the clerk “is French Crullers, want one? ”Oui, oui!”said Anna. What a mistake! She took a bite. Gagged. And then ran stumbling out to the curb and straight into a meme: the best meme. The original Twitter meme with the little guy in a party hat, in the top left corner observing: (correctly, considering the plague) "every motherfucker here is in pain." Other meme’s with altered texts and images— sometimes relevant to the original sometimes not — would soon follow, but whatever. Believing they were at a party and not a meme (because wtf!) Anna Maria and Chaleco Salvavidas, invited their FRENCH ARTIST PAL and the PORTUGESE CLEANING WOMAN they all knew from back home and who had since relocated here: to meme land, and of course, the original meme’s host. The host’s friends, the dancing couples were also here. As was an AMERICAN COWBOY who crashed what he thought was a party but wasn’t— not in the strict sense of the word. I say not in the strict sense, because writhing on the Dancing-with-The-Stars-like-Platform, shaped like America, was the two headed Porn Star Ardnas ni Amor/ Pancy Nelosi buggering a citizen worker in the most vulgar way. So dirty-like was the dancing that even the dancing couples quit dancing at least long enough for the Great Comedian and Cultural Critic George C. to remind everyone that— “It’s a Big Club and You Aint In It.” But of course, Anna Maria and Chaleco Salvavidas being French and all, having been to their fair share of clubs with those types of parties and that type of dancing knew this wasn’t even close to that. “What this is,” said Anna Maria “is yet another opportunity for half of the 1% (the Pancy Nelosi half) to stick it to the American people with a 600 Stimulus Bill to its citizens, and during a plague!" “C’est scandaleux,” said Anna Maria We truly are in pain,” observed the host. “Les americains sont baises” said Chaleco “Stimulate this” said the French artist, while the Portuguese woman wished everybody would wear a mask and stay home.

Baltazar Castillo American b. 1953 My work is a mixed media assemblage of paint and torn paper. I use fashion magazine spreads as both collage and photographic transfer material. As source material, they determine color, content, and pattern. The transfer technique consists of acrylic mediums brushed onto pages and the pages pressed onto the canvas. With images absorbed onto the canvas, the distressed pages, sans images, are carefully peeled and applied to the canvas as collage elements. Sucked of their cultural content, in a washed out state, the distressed source pages, the transferred images merge to form abstract shapes. In the sifting stage that follows these shapes are pummeled back to recognizable landscapes or figurative interiors often using Paper Mache for bulk and mass. I have developed and combined the uses of craft techniques, of paper Mache -with the traditional method of collage to cover the canvas surface in order to create unique supports. Simultaneously I have come to acknowledge the traditional use of collage as a process analogous to that of wallpapering interiors. I use the idea of a covered interior to recreate by relocating images and color from the page to the canvas, to draw and absorb from applied materials rather than to create imagined pictures on a blank canvas. I see my work to be in transition, the transitional stage exists twofold; as a support for my covered interiors and as a papered vestibule for the artist's psyche. At present the idea of the canvas as a transitional support system provides me with ample room for experimental excess and accumulation - covering, ripping, pasting, sanding. I also see my work as transitioning from depicted interiors on canvas to large-scale installations as interiors. Installations as assembled arenas of composed materials, materials that are extracted, combined, expanded upon as both process and subject matter.
