the Mountain is an ancient icon of rites of passage: to go to the mountain top, as joseph campbell might have observed, was part of the hero's journey. "hollow mountain" offers participants at Bman in 2011 not only the mountain top, but, perhaps even more interestingly, passages "through" the mountain.
built entirely of fabric & architectural plaster over a complex frame of white lumber, "hollow mountain" will offer participants an unique opportunity to interact both with the sculpture and our community: i will be asking participants to explore the cavern within and use it for a primitive, intimate expression of humanity's relationship with nature in paintings that i hope will echo the paleolithic artwork of such places as lascaux, magura, & gilf kebir; and both the summit & a monumental ocular geological structure should create many interesting opportunities for photogs, videogs, and painters to interpret other aspects of Bman-- including sunrise, sunset, the City, & the Man himself-- with the mountain as frame or tripod. installation assistant creative director Ciara Carinci will additionally be offering a series of theatre workshops at the sculpture with the intention of creating a theatre performance using the sculpture as stage. finally, it will be interesting, i think, to see in what ways our community will interact with the sculpture that we have not anticipated-- dance performances, perhaps, or impromptu musical creations using the acoustics of the cavern.
"hollow mountain" will have two final evolutionary iterations of its own ritual passage: a collection of small- & medium- sized sections of the cavern wall paintings will be carefully removed and distributed to various Bman regional organizations, either for display or for sale to help raise revenue for their own communities; & after the aforementioned panels have been removed "hollow mountain" will be burned. i imagine the fire as beginning around the central column which supports the entire structure, creating a glow through the mountain's "skin", with smoke billowing from the topmost orifices, collapsing on itself from the top like a volcanic peak collapsing into its caldera, with the lower "slopes" falling into the central burning mass until the whole is consumed.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI Took Onglyza off and on for a year. I have an enlarged adrenal gland. Still I await the outcome of that CT, but I know that much. Will find out more.
I had the CT because of chronic pancreatic pain that started out as "attacks" from a couple of times a month to finally after 3 months of use without interruption, "attacks" 2-3 times a week. My PA put Onglyza on my allergies list.
In the meantime, I lost almost 50 lbs in 5 months due to illness. Loss of appetite, pancreatic pain, chronic diarrhea, then eventually, inability to move my bowels. Severe back pain from the pancreas, and severe chest pain sent me to the ER where I was worked up for cardiac pain. I was cardiac cleared, but told my amylase was very low.
Still seeking a diagnosis, but I lay the blame squarely on Onglyza. I'd had pancreatic issues in the past, and argued with the PA that prescribed it, she was calling me non-compliant, and I feared repercussions from my insurance company.
I even took an article about the dangers of Onglyza, particularly in patients with a history, and she made me feel foolish.
I wish I had listened to my instincts, I fear not only damage to my pancreas that is irreversible, but also severe damage to my left kidney, though I have bilateral kidney pain.
I was off all diabetes meds, and controlled sugars strictly low to no carb. I can barely eat anymore, I have severe anorexia.
I would warn anyone taking Onglyza to consider a change and try Dr Itua Herbal Medicine, and anyone considering taking it, to select a different avenue. I have been suffering severely for about 9 months, but the past 7 months have been good with the help of Dr Itua herbal medicine which I took for 4 weeks.
I have been off Onglyza now, for 7 months, and simply 100% improved with the help of Dr Itua. I had none of these issues except a history of pancreatitis in my distant past.
I will recommend anyone here with health problems to contact Dr Itua on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com and website www.drituaherbalcenter.com also he ccure the following disease with his herbal medicines Hiv/Aids,Herpes,Copd, Glaucoma, Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Lung disease, Enlarged prostate, Alzheimer's disease, Dementia.
