Works by HiCoup
Curated by Justina Mejias

Racism. Sexism. Alcoholism. Hedonism. Opportunism. Nationalism…
Deconstructing the different “isms” that pervade society, hip-hop emcee and visual artist HiCoup (Haiku) presents a mixed media abstract impressionist rendering of the societal influences that bombard us since conception in the womb.
“Izm” is an artistic exploration of the landscape of humanity through it’s conditioning both conscious and subconscious.

Cai Guo-Qiang Retrospective at the Guggenheim Review and Interview by Robyn Hillman-Harrigan
Visionary, rabble-rouser, contemporary artist, Cai Guo-Qiang is the first Chinese artist to have a major retrospective at New York’s Guggenheim Museum. In his artist’s toolbox are explosives, gunpowder, yak skin, live snakes, wooden arrows, real cars, life-like replicas of tigers and wolfs, and trenched up sunken ships.

Patricia Spears Jones’ Femme Du Monde Review by Soraya Shalforoosh
Patricia Spears Jones’ second collection Femme du Monde is a passport into the soul of a sophisticated lady, a rich and engaging interior voice that explains her journey inward, outward.
We embark on Patricia Spears Jones’s journey at a place physically and metaphorically called “Hope,” Arkansas. The young college student with her mates on their […]

Review of Scott Hicks’ “Glass” by Tom Savage
About The Omnipresent Phillip Glass
Glass: A Portrait in Twelve Parts, a film produced and directed by Scott Hicks
This excellent documentary/interview film with and about Phillip Glass going down the Astroland roller coaster in Coney Island with a smile on his face. All those years of involvement with Buddhism and other spiritual traditions would seem to have paid off. But why subject one’s life to danger gratuitously? The question is neither asked nor answered. Glass claims not to be a Buddhist. Nevertheless he has a Buddhist teacher named Gelek Rinpoche and is on the boards of numerous Buddhist organizations including Tibet House and a magazine I get four times per year about Buddhist topics called Tricycle. The film features Chuck Close, the famous artist who paints portraits mostly in black dots that look like blown up photographs. Close has known Glass for many years[…]

Reflections on John Cage by Aaron Hayes
The first time we encounter John Cage, we think that he is somewhat interesting.
Teaching a music appreciation class to a small group of high school students, I performed 4′33″ for them one day outside. About 30 seconds into the first movement, one of them said, ‘oh, I get it.’ Still, I think there is […]
