Portrait of Kathryn Cornelius – 6/8/10

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a portrait (a live remix of an artist’s language), so I’m really excited by this new one, of Kathryn Cornelius, in conversation with Jeffry Cudlin at a Pink Line Project Salon Contra event. Kathryn is a fellow traveler on the emerging road of Art+Neuroscience, so the language I got to play with was especially rich and representative of this new terrain.

The image of the portrait is below, followed by the transcribed text.

A Map Transcending the Reading

Logic of:
or, style, or
generations of
spin, current
proximity relates
extremes, all
configurations
enter, balance
phenomena, skip
out of this
decision, the space
splitting thought, nice
already-there binary
dynamic, this sense
informs the body, worlds
around the form, reactions
before perspective’s push, let’s
do home again, picking
shared repeating application, retelling
setting, texts shaping texts, generating
community out of a certain reading

once again, a roster
of playing a space
very quickly with
little bits of
format
jog what’s happening
in a language
we don’t understand,
in so many ways
there, missing its
reflection, the
figures, or death,
construct
an intimate way,
reflect on
what’s happening
governed by
emphasis
mentioned,
form,
space,
push,
vehicle

This

saint’s

fever

felt like

silence

surface

invisible

same

bowl

webbed

akin

more than

just music

a parallel

sun coming up.

Chaos

on that

all this

space

spirit of that

breath

a neutral

full of

curtain

a kind of writing

remains

discovered but

acapella

set to music

wheels
