Here Comes Everybody’s Karma (isbn 9781737783299) – Book launch on June 11th, 2024 between 6 and 8 pm at The Hole In The Wall Pub, 527 Blackhorse Avenue, Dublin, County Dublin, D07 NTP1, Ireland.

This novel has the cyclical nature of time as a subject. It is a literary art experiment that originally aimed to merge the most beautiful book in English literature, the Kelmscott-Chaucer, with its most enigmatic one, Finnegans Wake.

Evolutions in modern printing techniques have allowed to elevate this offspring of the Kelmscott-Chaucer from its black and white corset while avoiding the typographic setting that made for a difficult reading experience.

The foreign language idiosyncrasies in Finnegans Wake have been replaced by their English equivalent and Joyce’s sibylline prose has been streamlined into a more fluid syntaxis.

Last but not least, the titles of the four books and their chapters (all in one volume) of this retelling want to inspire the readers to rethink the whole tale into the context of the Asiatic philosophical concepts of Karma and Dharma, which are interacting cyclical principles. I also add a picture of the cover in attachment. At this instance I’m releasing excerpts of the book through my website

I’m delighted to announce that my publisher has decided to launch this retelling of Finnegans Wake in the fringes of the Bloomfestival 2024 in Dublin, at the Hole in the Wall, a venue that features multiple times in the book. Those attending will be welcomed with a snack and a drink, and have the opportunity to purchase a copy of the book at the discounted price of 39 euros (normal price 49 euros).

PAST EXPOSITIONS

 Elemental 2023 by juror Richard Niewerth. EXHIBITION LOCATION: MFA’s Online Curve Gallery. EXHIBITION DATES: August 15, 2023 – September 30, 2023. I participate with my canvas called The Zone. The painting occurs in an intangible no-place: a blank terrain, an abstracted map space that I call The Zone, a metaphoric, tectonic representation of the no man’s land between the Noosphere and the individual. I want to bring The Zone into time and space by connecting it to the five alchemistic elements: earth, water, air, fire, and ether. You can download the catalog here.

“Viral Human” is a multimedia installation spread virtually on the Island of Venice and can be visited from 25 June to 16 July; the work travels in parallel between two historical eras: the Plague of the 16th century in Venice and the Covid-19 pandemic. The visit itinerary is divided into stages, narrated through a dedicated mobile application called MiRNArte. The visitor, equipped with headphones or earphones, will live an interactive and immersive listening experience: the binaural recording, in fact, allows a three-dimensional sound that follows the physiology of the human ear. The application was designed to host the works of national and international artists. I participate in this initiative with 9 elements of my series A Cosmology of Civilization and their accompanying music .You can find the web page of Viral Human here.

The Shape of Time,
OLD MASTERS IN CONVERSATION WITH MODERN ART
MARCH 6 – JULY 8, 2018, Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, Maria-Theresien-Platz, 1010 Vienna.

Peter Paul Rubens’ portrait of Helena Fourment next to a 21st century nude by Shaharee Vyaas at an exposition in the Kunsthistorisches Museum; Maria Lassnig Stiftung

The Shape of Time was an exhibition of remarkable artworks dating from 1800 to the present day. Borrowed from some of the most important museums and private collections across the world, they were placed within the rooms of the Picture Gallery in dialogue with the museum’s own historical objects and artists, as steppingstones to lead us from the point at which their own collections end to the point at which we stand today. Visitors were invited to look simultaneously backwards and forwards between objects made many centuries years apart, either of which has the potential to alter our experience of the other.  In the spirit of George Kubler’s groundbreaking 1962 book of the same name (The Shape of Time), the pairings sought to reveal the flow of time and space and the evolution of ideas and images across centuries and cultures, and to suggest a view of art history as a reservoir of ideas drawn from repeatedly over time

Assimilation (painting) at the White Cube Bermondsey

This painting has the tension field between individuality and cultural assimilation for subject. While it´s a generally accepted fact that progress of civilization is a process of assimilation, one must conclude that inevitably there is going to exist a tension field between progress and multiculturalism.
