Art Course
in Tamera
2006
“It seems to me – increasingly – as if the pictures that need to be created, the pictures that are necessary and essential, exceed the power of a single individual. They will thus probably be created by groups of people, who get together in order to carry out a joint act.” Vincent van Gogh

The new art requires the higher power of communicating people.

In the art courses that are held in the project since many years back, only one instruction is given: Engage with the world and not with your personal problems. The participants gladly follow these instructions with a clear sense of relief. Ten days in the world without any navel-gazing. Ten days in a space without psyche, without reacting with fear or comparison. Doing something for ten days that has no purpose or duty, free of all pangs of conscience, thereby finding the joy, the humor and the enthusiasm of “meaningless” creation. For this is how Creation creates.

The art courses are ten days of community experience, usually at selected places in nature, which reveal other things to the participants: the metaphysics of small things, the tangibility of things as they stand in the presence of the Universe, the reflections in the water, the meaning of color, the silver grey green olive trees against the blue sky. When it enters the inner area of perception, art becomes a celebration and a thank you to Creation. Art and cult begin to come together. One not only wants to paint this way, but in reality one wants to live this way. Art becomes a preliminary draft of a different, desired state of being. It is in this sense that it should be introduced into life, into Eros, into religion, into everyday life. In a painting one wants to recognize the birth of a piece of life. The artistic act itself can liberate life and that is its highest criteria, as it is in music. That is also the trend toward a new concept of art that is integrated into the healing process. May the emerging concept of “TAMERA ARTS” be a seduction in this direction.

To get to the scrap yard you have to cross the ocean. We are in the Universe. There is nothing reasonable to be done any more. It is a place of discovery.
