The Grotesque, disturbing and highly eccentric. People in today’s culture have to wear many hats and identies. The internet has opended up a pandora’s box of information that saturates us daily. You look at any magazine, television show or internet site and become consumed with human faces. There seems to be a need to escape into someone else’s life, and leave personal realities far behind, even if just for a few minutes. In my work the figure is a fundemental vehicle for human identiy. It is that understandable and relatable compent that lures the viewer into my world.Thaddeus (tj) Erdahlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06835027157850103874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089668222827735200.post-39387789005609126032011-04-21T07:39:00.000-07:002011-04-21T07:39:15.796-07:00Blackface in Sheep's ClothingNew sculpture for upcoming exhibition, FRESH FIGURINES: A New Look At An Historic Art Form <br />

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves,” Gospel of Matthew, 7:15 <br />
<br />
There is tragic irony behind the genesis of the “black-faced/minstrel” shows (created from the mid 1880’s up until the Civil Rights movements of the 1960’s). More recently, in 2000, highlighting this history, Spike Lee Joint’s film, Bamboozled, exposes the deep-rooted racism inherent in these performances through a contemporary lens that demonstrates the damages still existing today. Looking back, however, the minstrels were created not only as a means to further popularize racism through the black-faced parodies, but also as a means for the white working class man to criticize the white upper class, disguised as black-face. And so, while this population of the white middle class was putting down the black population through racism, they were simultaneously putting down the white upper class for their own feelings of inequality through classicism. The irony is ripe. <br />
<br />
The “black-faced” figurines were a token symbol of the minstrel shows and still remain objects loaded with racial tension and shameful intent. “Black-Face in Sheep’s Clothing” represents some of these underlying truths as the real black-face is revealed, by his white bare chest, his “sheep’s clothed” pants, and the sheep’s mask in hand. These elements simultaneously hide and reveal the condemnable history of the “black-face” and the figurines that perpetuated the racist imagery. <br />

The time is flying by!<br />
<br />
The BIG question, What are my future plans! <br />
<br />
Right now I am working towards establishing myself as an independent studio artist. I’m located an hour from both NYC and Philadelphia and would love to sustain myself and eventually a family on my art work. Is that possible? I’m not sure especially in this economy. <br />
<br />
I’m also looking for an educational career within my field, in public, private, post secondary, community art center, workshops, and visiting artist gigs, etc. They are all areas that I’m exploring. Bottom line is I have to make time for making art and I enjoy teaching.<br />
<br />
Immediately, I am working as the visiting artist at Princeton Day School (<a href="http://www.pds.org/">www.pds.org</a>), interacting with a wonderful art department there, substitute teaching when it comes up, teaching ceramics courses at the Arts Council of Princeton, and just recently I was selected as an Artist In Resident at the Arts Council of Princeton (<a href="http://www.artscouncilofprinceton.org/">www.artscouncilofprinceton.org</a>) .Thaddeus (tj) Erdahlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06835027157850103874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089668222827735200.post-39251599387043759392011-04-21T06:21:00.000-07:002011-06-01T08:16:02.588-07:00The Smoker-Process Photos- New Ceramic SculptureI’ve been working on this ceramic sculpture, working title, The Smoker, for the past 2 weeks. It’s a homage to my ex-downstairs neighbors, who were great people but habitually smoked cigarettes. So much that the smoke penetrated the floor and fumigated us in our apartment. Not a pleasant situation to say the least. The sculpture is intended to mount on a wall. Eventually it will have hair, an enormous mustache and a calabash style pipe. <br />
<br />
I’m having some trouble deciding on what to use for the hair. One idea is natural sheep’s wool. <br />
<br />
Any thoughts?<br />
<br />
To Be Continued...... <br />

The two audio systems were comprised of one Arduino microprocessor complete with a protoshield, 16 independently amplified speakers, two PIR motion sensors and initially a new product from Adafruit Industries (www.adafruit.com) called a Wave Shield (fig. 3 & fig. 7). Due to difficulties encountered with programming the Wave Shield, I eventually substituted it with 3 MP3 players (fig. 1). <br /><br />The working model for the design of the audio system was based on the real life dialogue that frequently takes place between parents/adults (my brother) and a defiant child (his three year old son). The actual audio is a simple dialogue comprised of one entity saying the word YES! (the sculpture of a boy) (fig. 6) and the other entity responding with the word NO! (a grouping of phonographs that represents a parent) and vise-versa. <br /><br />Audio tracks were created by first recording on an Olympus digital recorder and then downloaded and manipulated on a computer using Audacity, a free audio editing program (audacity.sourceforge.net/). The edited tracks were then converted into MP3 files, downloaded and synchronized on the three MP3 players using the program Itunes. <br /><br />One MP3 player was devoted to the defiant child’s dialogue and used only one speaker. The remaining two MP3 players were used to operate the soundtracks in the parent portion of the sculpture (the grouping of phonographs). The grouping consisted of 15 separate phonographs each outfitted with a speaker (fig. 4). Seven speakers were controlled my one MP3 player and the remaining 8 speakers by the other.<br /><br />The Arduino microprocessor controlled each MP3 player by hardwiring them together. I accomplished this by first removing the protective housing from each MP3 player. Then by directly soldering stranded wire to each MP3 players contact points (fig. 5 & fig. 8). The wire leads were then soldered to a protoshield developed by Adafruit Industries to seamlessly attach to the Arduino. <br /><br />The next step was to write a code that synchronized (see example 1) which tracks were playing and the order they played. The Arudino in this case functioned as a surrogate hand in the sense that it pushed (electronically) the buttons of the MP3 players, resulting in a simple yet effective dialogue.<br /><br />PIR motion sensors were used to start and stop the Arduino’s code, as a hands free on/off switch. This allowed for periods of audio inactivity unless engaged and triggered by a passing viewer.Thaddeus (tj) Erdahlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06835027157850103874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089668222827735200.post-24500211281463600792009-11-03T12:24:00.001-08:002009-11-03T12:25:40.302-08:00More Piggy Head Banks<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY1aPOBMyfxfhbrovMr1oxhuu5sZotc-chTuyTqX6YlmyryCbP4Z2Rgok1kvTq-LbecWtgtZJdIQLst27sdXmYtKbyVBO69pGNO4Ue7uDzspREvxvV0TyP13gtwv7tfLSKVpfuW1VTSPQ/s1600-h/piggyheadbank_6_detail_1_72.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY1aPOBMyfxfhbrovMr1oxhuu5sZotc-chTuyTqX6YlmyryCbP4Z2Rgok1kvTq-LbecWtgtZJdIQLst27sdXmYtKbyVBO69pGNO4Ue7uDzspREvxvV0TyP13gtwv7tfLSKVpfuW1VTSPQ/s200/piggyheadbank_6_detail_1_72.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399976188497908674" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR9-SvGb3fvCFcMICjf9wpk6TRwa2Zs76sEmL4RkJYHFnchtKhTelgoH1zQWEgjQ-FaeI_xZpbmfDMew3gk-Sup-WRfaHlhxiXe0guW44MWC9SSMY1h6r3UhDiBc_G-2lcvxPtlaoTuFU/s1600-h/piggyheadbank_7_detail_1_72.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR9-SvGb3fvCFcMICjf9wpk6TRwa2Zs76sEmL4RkJYHFnchtKhTelgoH1zQWEgjQ-FaeI_xZpbmfDMew3gk-Sup-WRfaHlhxiXe0guW44MWC9SSMY1h6r3UhDiBc_G-2lcvxPtlaoTuFU/s200/piggyheadbank_7_detail_1_72.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399976189193585378" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7WQBvnL2_UG37K9PpiS53-D8rRjZ6W30C0HcsOdxson_2v85vzpwEbcm2VLGnkpL3Ct1_URfxhPCfzQKPi4appb7GhqK8F7HgrgJxcT1dEIrk5gGFWzJooCQok5sRv9wd0I0UOLi038/s1600-h/piggyheadbank_8_detail_1_72.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7WQBvnL2_UG37K9PpiS53-D8rRjZ6W30C0HcsOdxson_2v85vzpwEbcm2VLGnkpL3Ct1_URfxhPCfzQKPi4appb7GhqK8F7HgrgJxcT1dEIrk5gGFWzJooCQok5sRv9wd0I0UOLi038/s200/piggyheadbank_8_detail_1_72.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399976182818586338" /></a>Thaddeus (tj) Erdahlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06835027157850103874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089668222827735200.post-37725483740005786952009-08-30T09:27:00.000-07:002009-08-30T09:37:01.858-07:00WCF Courier SUR.REALITIES<a href="http://www.wcfcourier.com/articles/2009/08/30/features/lifestyles/11660780.txt">Earlier this summer I went back to Iowa to visit family and install an exhibition at the Waterloo Center for the Arts.
