I feel sometimes we are insensitive to the zombies artistic abilities . I took advantage of a rather large gathering of zombies in the Quartly recently and gave a lecture on the subject in our library during the recent invasion. With the permission of Sir Fred I would like to share some of it with those that might have been otherwise deposed.
When I read the Lord Moloch Interview with C4NTs' Information Minister, I was impressed by his apparent culture and refinement despite his rather foreboding visage.It is truly heartening that someone with such a high regard in the zombie community might indeed effect a change in Malton's regard for zombie culture. Until then, Please allow me as one of Malton's art conservators whose work has embraced various diverse artistic treasures to serve as a mediator between our preexisting conceptions concerning zombies and art.
It is commonly thought that zombies are so challenged when it comes to art , it is a wonder they can DRAW breath. Although zombies might be thought to be inept artistically, I have, however , found their main form of artistic expression to be installation art . Some installations are site -specific in that they are designed to only exist in the space for which they were created. Pinatas are a notable example.Usually, an interactive installation will often involve the audience acting on it or the piece responding to the user’s activity.
Their behavior ,though violent, has often been nuanced with song and dance. Individual aspects of the zombies' art may be linked to any number of artistic precursors, yet in its totality their work is truly unique. Their oeuvre has been approached critically via its resonance with such zombie classics as Thriller YouTube - Thriller - (Almost) Full Version the" Swan Lake" of zombie dance,so to speak.
New zombies might be considered a" table rasa" as they learn and refine their ability to perform.I feel we should encourage their natural artistic abilities as much as possible, while making sure their enthusiasm is tempered by some modicum of civility ...... and........new zombies also seem to have a natural talent for DRAWING blood .
I welcome any comments or critiques on this subject and any instances of notable works
