Here is a curatorial idea - a show for the consideration of your artists.
Working title - "Customs"
Academic background from Pierre Bourdieu and his notion of habitus (one's habits and daily environments where one plys them) and further works.
Customs as the border at national entry - passports, anything to declare, quarantine and illegal flora and fauna (incl people smuggling)
Customs as traditions - personal customs/habit (issues of repetition, ennui, addiction, grooming, OCD, for example) cultural customs (the orientalisation of food fairs, ethnic dancing and personas, cultural profiling)
The one thing that can be connected in these notions of customs is how they relate to each other in terms of multicultural inhabitance, hybridity, and revolution degree zero the curator terms as "the milkweed seed revolution" we are seeing now from the middle east to the mediterranean, and greater europe - all with markedly different agenda and representations -
that flora, dusts, messages digital cross over - a border aesthetic of hybridity - in terms of personal/social consciousness and conscience - of ecos - of tensions between ecology and economy - personal social national - the taxonomies of classical discourse - the border crossings here.
(sometimes I feel like downgrading all my citizenships to permanent residencies - and keeping my passports, with nothing to admit and nothing to declare)

The Field of Cultural Production - Cartels and Cartons
The tribes of Essenes who took hallucinogenic mushrooms - the Aegean tales of smoking cannabis - the Pharoahnic orders of priests who developed beer - the liquers of Monasteries - the spirits of the New World (bourbon, rum and coca-cola).
And the yields and crops of the Field of Cultural Production. As a resident goat, who lost a rifle and found the short-cut in Pan's Labyrinth video game - I navigate haphazardly, as someone on a ghost ship of shipwreck - newly fragmented by the whipping seas and the sensitivities to profiling.
Profiling - in the case of OJ Simpson I recall David Letterman made a joke about OJ's biography "From Zero to Hero to Shapiro" - Judge Shapiro of the US Courts. And humour comes at a death of an emotion, and in most cases from death itself - the ones that make it to the media.
No better thing than shoot-em-ups - dramatic or reported - all filters at all times.
I will keep the holster well buttoned.
Profiling - most decent human beings have been profiled, and probably not to their complete liking. The copyrighting of one's image can no longer be faithful today. That person though is a member of a community - does one apply the media filter to the person who one works with?
"Support the artist that supports you" - James Ryan winner of the Australian Jazz Bell Awards 2011 Cross-Disciplinary category.
Having worked in the music industry as a support professional - with CV in hand and having done things in other fields that if it equated their audience in terms of numbers - well,
"Support the professional that supports you" - AARP 2009
Of course, all within the budget of the artist - separate business from pleasure. And I put my professional buskers hat here. Audience development and show the professional some love - this one is not an artist by living but has the same povertous jacket and history of chemical brothers and sisters.
Further in terms of music - the notion of "accelerated culture" - taking antecedence from the creation of amphetamines and then the use of them in counter culture, rave culture and just culture in general - is a beautiful brimming cup and in what cupboard are they...we will find out. The few that I know that I have made disclosures to, but are not personal friends - well, they are the cellars, distributors of such notions.

‛This precious stone set in the silver sea ...’: Literal and figurative references to jewelry in the plays of William Shakespeare - DeepDyve
‛This precious stone set in the silver sea ...’: Literal and figurative references to jewelry in the plays of William Shakespeare - DeepDyve
on the search for "semiome" and ecosemiotic work that incorporates the terrestrial biome not only Kingdom Animal and Kingdom Plant - but rocks stones geographies to climates - this time the view is on the jewel references in Shakespeare and if not in art. The jewels inside a fish - an image I recall from a movie of the early 80s. The lyric of Bliss n Eso's song "Destiny Lane" - i hold this black pearl through this world's perfect storm"
actor-network and animalism? metal rock and network. energy from electricity - and a becoming-weather - becoming-microclimate.
full fathom five and the philosopher's stone - alchemy to make gold.
The amount of gold (the classical currency standard in free market commodified economies) that has and will ever be produced on this planet is equal to 3 olympic swimming pools -- ahh El Dorado and Montezuma's Revenge... and the revenge of La Malinche
