 DAD  ART : LIFE AND NOT ART

I returned to upstate NY in 1998 and began driving my then ok dad to appointments/doctors/bank/church  and we began a video collaboration, documenting suppers together, watching tv etc.
A tragic accident at  physical therapy, eventuated in a stroke and a 3 year 24-7 caring for dad at  home.
My camera was on and became I shield I hid behind because the pain of losing my friend, my father, was too much.
I became his care-manager and filmed up to and after his death and funeral.
The resulting 2 and a half to 3 hour "performance" is not art but a way to study impermanence via artifacts and performance.

it includes  4-5 collaborators who perform actions on stage while film is shown.
I sing (sometime with piano sometimes not)  7 of his favorite songs.
A procession to "burn" the written "letters to death" written during the performance ends the process.

This you tube is from one of the few times I shared DAD ART as a memorial with friends.

I would be honored to share DAD ART again at a venue that would bring this teaching of impermanence to others via LIFE-ART.

  1. my wife was cured of fibroid by Dr osofo , my wife was diagnosed of fibroid few months after our weeding,i spent allot to get rid of the fibroid but wasn't successful
    she had a surgical operation twice by a gynecologist, but the more she is operated on, the more the fibroid surface and it kept me worried , one faithful day when i was going through the internet i saw a testimony of a woman who testify of how she was cured by Dr osofo of fibroid.
    so i decided to contact him via the number the woman dropped and he spoke with me and sent me his herbal formula and directed me on how to administer it on her, within three weeks my wife was healed. the second month, my wife became pregnant , and now we are expecting my first child, am so grateful sir thanks allot you can email him: osofo.48hoursolutioncenter@gmail.com or whatsapp him +2348166545531
