cecelia chapman : rattlings and watercolors


"RATTLINGS with Randee Silv wordslab, Jeff Crouch music, Cecelia Chapman drawing/video 2020. We have a certain snake here in the United States and it has a rattle on it’s tale it shakes if you get too close, as a warning or it is scared. It is called a rattlesnake.



And the watercolors: 

XFILES from the series DRAWING THE LINE: In the summer of 2020 I started Drawing the Line realizing from now on out, survival would be determined not by politics, virus, economic hardship, locale, but where the red line was drawn in a persons’ everyday life. Could they? Did they have that privilege? Would they? Where would they draw the line? How? What would that look like? I have no answers. 9 x 12 in., 23 x 30 cm. Watercolor, Arches paper".

cecelia chapman : chapter 2 stations of the cross





A video that specualtes about Jesus being born a black woman today… Adapted from the poem by Aphra Tesla. Music written and composed by Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt and Globoscuro (Emiliano Pietrini.) With Dasia Woolery. Cecelia Chapman 2018.

Stations of the Cross, a poem by Aphra Tesla:
When I come, it is too mild, my presentiment of Mary’s twitching face. You take yourself from yourself, an ancient affair.
Each stifled sound, each non-evaded flame you shall pay for. Extinguished palps of vaginal walls. The doll’s image sowed within me you will have to misshape with your head at the baptismal font. The blood will splash forth onto Christ’s high foot, heaven’s vault stuck between the teeth of your father, amen.
You’ll remain with a money-bag full and a painful clatter.
When I come, it is too mild, I am thinking wide awake thoughts. For you are taking myself from myself, it is horrible. 
Silently a dirty snout moves across prayer-benches. Here beside me in the sacral space there’s thousands of me. And you. Your forfeited smile in exchange for the pay.

The fourteen chapters of I Have Collected All the Writings of the Empire and Burnt Those Which Were of No Use are narrated by fourteen poets whose voices imagine a dark dystopian journey lit only by fires of dissent.

new videos from cecelia chapman



"Race The Sun - Meditation from Club Paradise 2019, a large project about the extreme vacation culture where I am living now on Cape Cod, with Jeff Crouch music Cut and Run.  ceceliachapman.com/club-paradise"

Two chapters from Drone Drama: Music for the Dead 2016-2017, examining the war and technology culture supporting the world’s fifth largest economy, California, based on Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt titles and epic drone opera music. http://ceceliachapman.com/drone-drama

Chapter1  ‘I love watching the movement of your limbs when they tremble from the wind’s gentle caress.’ Filmed on the full moon summer solstice four hundred miles away from Aliso Canyon gas storage in California. The facility leaked a methane plume visible from space into the air for four months in 2016. It was one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history and no one knew about it. With Christa Hunter. 



Chapter 10. 'I slept on your side of the bed because the pillow smells like you,’ contemplates love and loss in the age of the drone. Rickey Crowe.

cecelia chapman : chapter 1 existential vacuum



Image







Adapted from the poem by Lydia Lunch. Music written and composed by Globoscuro (Emiliano Pietrini) and Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt. With Brujita Gonzalez. Props Callalilly Finglas. Cecelia Chapman 2017.

The fourteen chapters of I Have Collected All the Writings of the Empire and Burnt Those Which Were of No Use are narrated by fourteen poets whose voices imagine a dark dystopian journey lit only by fires of dissent. Writings of the Empire is visualized by Cecelia Chapman, scouting further down the same path as her earlier collaboration with Marquardt, Drone Drama: Music for the Dead. 

Existential Vacuum, a poem by Lydia Lunch: 
'The mass neurotic triad of insufferable idiocy, infantile narcissism, and internet addiction has fostered a spiritual bankruptcy, an existential vacuum, a moral coma, a culture in crisis where all meaning has been leached from real life and replaced with Reality TV.

Kiss my ass Kim Kardasian, you overblown tool for having created a cult of celebrity devoid of talent and integrity whose only value is net worth generated by catering to the lowest common denominator.

A dumbed down society where everyone’s a star baby, circling around a galaxy formed by a black hole which centers around their own fucking asshole.

A nonstop circus side show littered with big titted half-wits pandering to dopey dicks as the theater of the ridiculous plays 24 hours a day…in perfect rotation, a pathetic ploy that pulls the brain dead public into spying on somebody else’s petty life…so that they can forget just how much they are being spied on and manipulated into becoming a victim of the surveillance state, a pawn in the game who willingly gives up their own privacy in order to play patsy on a public platform modeling their dirty laundry in an unending series of senseless selfies, while prattling off and babbling on about every petty detail of their self-obsessed existence thereby making it easier for Big Brother to track their every waking moment.'
