What does it mean to physically bring a new work into being, to birth it even, in its most primordial form?<\/strong><\/p>\n The idea for A Birth of a Picture \u2013 Plopegg Art Cologne came about through a year-long process. \u201cPlopegg\u201d is a conceptual work that unites painting and performance art. It began with Milo Moir\u00e9 standing in front of a white canvas in her studio and asking herself what would be the most corporeal way to make a painting. Key, universal symbols include the fertile womb and the egg \u2013 the archetype for creation. Routine experiences, such as sitting on a gynaecology chair, the colours of menstruation, losing an egg every month and the moment of creation before tabula rasa provided the impetus, leading to Milo Moir\u00e9 birthing a picture in the truest sense of the word.<\/p>\n An upright standing nude on a loft\u2026 One with ink and acrylic fueled egg\u2026 A preserved canvas\u2026<\/p>\n What the spectators are about to expect, is the compressed birth of a piece of art. Slowly the egg leaves the natal canal of the artist and smashes on the canvas, red colour flows out. The next egg contains another colour and so bit by bit, accompanied only by loud \u201cPlops\u201d, an abstract art work originates \u2013 archaically, uncontrollably and intuitively. At the end of this almost meditative art birth performance the stained canvas is folded up, smoothed and unfolded to a symmetrically reflected picture, astonishingly coloured and full of strong because universal symbolism.<\/p>\n The \u201cPlopEgg Painting\u201d itself releases a loose chain of thoughts \u2013 about the creation fear, the symbolic strength of the casual and the creative power of the femininity.<\/p>\n Plopegg Art Cologne<\/strong><\/p>\n Milo Moir\u00e9 opens her performance cycle \u201cThe PlopEgg Painting \u2013 A Birth of a Picture\u201d on the renowned art fair Art Cologne. Within the context of art (performance), commerce (art fair) and opinion creation (media) a deliberate-accidental creation act happens, which instantly provokes ambivalent interpretations.<\/p>\n Artists are by definition creators, but who defines the demand for these so-called creations and the direction they take? \u201cIn this context, fairs like the Art Cologne are the ultimate decision-makers. For artists, they are like birth-control centers that determine future artistic descendants,\u201d according to Moir\u00e9. This is the reason why she ended up choosing the Art Cologne, the world\u2019s oldest art fair, for her first \u201cPlopegg\u201d. The artist prepared a collage on canvas in her studio beforehand. It was made up of a number of newspaper articles criticizing the art market. \u201cThe Birth of a Picture \u2013 Plopegg Art Cologne\u201d is a proactive demonstration of the fact that artists\u2019 reproductive existence lies in the hands of the commercial breeding grounds of the art market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The PlopEgg Painting Performance \u2013 A Birth of a Picture, Art Cologne, Germany (2014) Performance von Milo Moir […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4728,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[456],"product_tag":[783],"class_list":{"0":"post-4727","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-milo-moire-videos","7":"product_tag-download","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"featured","12":"downloadable","13":"virtual","14":"sold-individually","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/unlimitedmuse.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/unlimitedmuse.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/unlimitedmuse.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unlimitedmuse.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4727"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unlimitedmuse.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/unlimitedmuse.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unlimitedmuse.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=4727"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unlimitedmuse.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=4727"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unlimitedmuse.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=4727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
