I think best when I am drawing
says Tim Burton.
Conceptual sketches are the first step for Burton on any film project. His characters, and the film's settings, evolve from these drawings. But not just famous Tim Burton knows that drawing can induce processes of creativity but also digestion of problems hidden in the deap worlds of our befoged subconsciousness.. children spend hours drawing and talking about their drawings while being involved within a natural process of dealing with new experiences, emotional stress like fights with parents and friends, or just perceiving and reflecting their picture of a - often very difficult to deal with - world that is surrounding them. Besides evoking creative processes children deal in a natural way with psychological problems - why should we give that up when entering the serious world of the grown-ups? I think we all need childish moments, no.. we rather should listen to our own child inside ourselves and find our way of freeing it, is it drawing, playing games, collecting leaves in fall, chewing straweberry-smelly but after 4 seconds tasteless chewing gum to blow the most perfect bubbles, or whatever doesn't make sense to anybody else but to us..
I found an art installation in Salzburg this weekend, which shows artwork of a bunch of brooklyn/new york artists. I have seen some of their work when I was back in New York last year. Great to see art like this in my conservative home town, even though I got this weird impression that either me or the art work or the environment is displaced while I was glancing at brooklyn worlds in Salzburg's shiny Hangar: HangART7
Check it out!
No matter where presented, and I think Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz is doing a great job in bringing Salzburg closer to a more real and at the same time more dreamy-artsy world, these artists let their child-inside play - and see what you can get while practising it: reach the world of the conservative and let them take part in your game!
