Is discharge Dada? No, it is not. Influenced by and with a similar attitude to, but not Dada..
Is discharge Fluxus?
No, it is not.
Influenced by and with a similar attitude to, but not Fluxus.
Is discharge art for intellectuals? No, discharge is for anyone and everyone who appreciates creativity in all its myriad forms. Be it static visual, audio or moving image; the written word or the deconstructed, non-linear form. The spoken word and noise.
All creativity is the springboard for discharge. It highjack’s a multitude of genres and disciplines and transposes them onto the internet. discharge is electronically transmitted art, be it via blog, myspace or whatever format possible, it can also be produced and seen in classic formats.
The discharge Chapbook. The discharge Building by Parts book. discharge has no rules. All contributors to discharge are responsible adults. discharge has no leaders although it has an elected body of rotating editors who oversee rather than dictate the flow of the group.
The aim of discharge is to profile creative people and to do away with the pretension of the art world.
Everyday people creating art everyday to an exceptional quality.
Art by barrow boys and girls.
discharge is international.

primal shamans?
Another enthralling, evocative piece, JB. Religious symbols - church, demons, etc. - insinuate themselves on a clean landscape of mind... It's as if they exist despite any denial of their existence... Even the primitive representation of 'dog' is a shadow etched in an otherwise simple concept of existence. We attribute so much meaning. For me, you deconstruct the ridiculous horrors of human signification. These are gentle reminders of Plato's shadows: we imagine them played out with the fire behind us yet their reality is embedded in the primal rather than the pragmatic world/existence we inhabit.
I probably have it completely wrong (that is, your intention as opposed to the delicious effect it has on me).
You remind me that I am a complex social structure which I believe to be the social mind... yet am 'child' in my belief systems.
Truly beautiful. How can any of us believe, even for one moment, in 'solipsism'? We are social tribe. Somehow, you manage to convey this with a gentleness... and remind us that we, as humans, share our humanity!
ohhhhhhhhhh this gives me wings to the mind and perplexity to the brain
So splendidly.......................................................................... i'm entangled with my 3rd eye
love it! love it! love it!

Your a rock star!! thanks
You owe me nothing, JB. That's the most and the least I ever expect!
Still supping on the image. You have an amazing flair for creating engaging works. You seem to have found the perfect combination of colours and forms for evoking that amalgam of primitive and deeply complex.
So, thank YOU for sharing!
Iryna...
Once again.. Much thanks!!
You evoke a LOT with a few seemingly simple shapes, lines, colors. The longer I look the less simple things become and the more I'm drawn into some post-apocalyptic/mythological nightmare scenario.
Like I'm a little kid being told a scary warning story by the tribal shaman, sitting by the campfire in the dreamy dark...
I think you're in touch with something, JB. Keep 'em comin' please!
AD....

We are all waiting for the next tale to be spun
