And there we have it: Art is forever, Life is Short.

Ars longa,
vita brevis,
occasio praeceps,
experimentum periculosum,
iudicium difficile.

[The] art is long,
life is short,
opportunity fleeting,
experiment dangerous,
judgment difficult.

A Better Man / A Better City : A New Year's Resolve from Rex


The eternal optimist in me was looking forward to the New Year. This past year has treated me decently enough, but the ending has been so out of control, that I couldn’t wait to see it pass. As New Orleanians, we’ve had the fine opportunity to experience tragedies and miseries that would make even a saint second-guess the grand design. For me, the year ended with a painful revelation that was long overdue.

INSPIRE Collectives 4th Annual REUSE PROJECT: REUSE & RESIST!


INSPIRE Collective's 4th Annual REUSE PROJECT: REUSE & RESIST!


REUSE PROJECT 4: REUSE & RESIST! Open Call For Art until Feb. 1st! www.reuseandresist.tk

What is the ReUse Project? Every year, for the past 4 years, INSPIRE Collective has made a call for art, taken a centralized public building, and installed as much artwork inside & outside as possible, then we open the doors to the public!
Want to get involved this time around? Just keep reading…

There is a better way, no matter what they say! Present-day cities, the world over, have massive percentages of un-used & generally neglected public space. By itself, this fact quickly becomes its own negative social issue & it isn’t a phenomenon, it’s a disgusting norm of all industrialized cities at this point. WE MUST REUSE AND RESIST!!
But how?! Many social issues could be already solved by ReUsing & re-thinking public space. This year, let’s stop talking about it and started getting things done!

INSPIRE Collective would like to extend this call for art around the world, so if you know folks who would like to get involved…We extend the invitation to all creators to participate in ReUse Project 4: REUSE AND RESIST!

If you’re a conscious artist living on this planet and you can creatively relate to the ideas of ReThinking and ReUsing, then this exhibition is for you! Help us to make a positive social statement here in the Middle East & sustainable, independent artists will help to make this necessary statement world-wide. Open call for art ends February 1st.
