From Ash to Diamonds, A Fools Journey Presale, RBHOA Residency Opening

A Fools Journey . Fear Collecting Ritual Book With NOT A CULT Presale Available Now Lucien Shapiro's A Fools Journey: Fear Collection Ritual is a series of photographs and writings documenting a ten month project across the United States, France, and Germany. The goal of the fear collection ritual was to challenge people to confront themselves. Facing fear encourages growth in an individual, and hopefully can lead to the individual promoting further growth beyond themselves. A fear would be collected as an object, and brought into a vessel as the tour continued from city to city, until finally all of the fear objects were burned in a final ceremony in Johnson Valley. Each performance began with this quote, "I am not acting as your Guru, because first of all I am not giving you any gratification . I am not telling you what you should do from moment to moment, or from day to day, but I'm pointing out something to you, you can take it or leave it. Depending on you, neither your worship, nor your flattery, nor your insults, nor your gods. I say this is a fact, take it or leave it, and most of you will leave it for the obvious reason that you do not find gratification in it."—Krishnamurti Cover design and interior layout by Shaun Roberts.  260 pages (color on coated 170 gsm paper), hardcover (faux leather with stamped typography), 5″ x 8″ inches. ISBN 978-1-945649-15-8 NOVEMBER 17th , 7 pm-10 pm 1551 Winder St Detroit MI 48207 RBHOA Opening this friday.

From Ash to Diamonds

View this email in your browser From Ash to Diamonds - a solo exhibition by Lucien Shapiro Opening: Saturday, November 4 On View: November 4 - November 18 I am excited to be sharing "From Ash to Diamonds" a solo exhibition at Hashimoto Contemporary described as follows. The exhibition debuts an arsenal of sculptures forged from discarded materials. The artist's practice is anchored in an impulsive drive to collect from his surroundings. Shapiro re-contextualizes bottle caps, studs, and crystals into ornate relics. The objects are harrowing yet delicate, reminiscent of archeological treasures from a bygone civilization. This new collection of masks, vessels, and weapons confront the viewer to reflect upon obsession, protection, and identity.  Please join us for "From Ash to Diamonds", opening Saturday, November 4. The opening night will also feature a special crowd participatory performance. This exhibition will be on view through Saturday, November 18.  VIEW ONLINE COLLECTORS PREVIEW INQUIRE ON AVAILABILITY Juxtapoz Magazine Interview  In anticipation for From Ash to Diamonds I  recently sat down for an in-depth interview regarding his process, inspirations an future plans.
