S_V_H The music in ArtinMusic From the Start and My Foolish Heart

Published on by Scott Von HolzenLeave a comment
A “what did you aspect,” Artist talking to his Studio Windows looking North, with no prep and no firm thoughts he wishes to share. It just kind of comes out and there is no one on the other side looking at me and thinking to say, “could you clarify just what the hell is Interactive Constructed Installation art form …….. but wait I do not have that much effort left in me today…. so here is where it goes.

On down are some image so the viewer (if one is to be found) can see how long it took for this artist to arrive at My Foolish Heart’s art ridiculously long artsy art form (I was told) Interactive Constructed Installation.

March 12th 2025. Vivaldi’s Four Seasons

I have to add, a lot of time and effort and thoughts of “can we be done,” went into this one artwork which is composed of four separate artworks that all need to play and light in a row, starting with Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. I was a hard focus technical that was needed for this to work. The artwork was actually shown in a wine bar for a month or so. Then I got the call to pick it up. No feedback, no comments (except during the group show reception), but I have not recall, and now if you look at the image above this great Vivaldi piece ha ngs in my Studio. It is too big to store.

October 2025. The artwork Drive
May 2026. From The Start
May 13th 2026. At this time I was working on more than one artwork in order to apply to a exhibit at the ARC Gallery.

This image from the Studio on May 13th 2026. shows on each side of Drive two works I was building together in order to apply with time to a up coming deadline in an exhibit. It is From the Start I decided to split up my staff into three pieces and to attach the songs words, “Blah, blah, blah, underneath. The way Laufey sang those words made me think I would like to transform her way of saying these words into a more visual connection. That was when made the metal frame flexible that hold that attached staff, and this allow me to move those three little staffs into more dramatic positions. That then carried over a little in Adelle’s Rolling in the Deep.

Finally, after over two months’ worth of work to combine and sync four different artworks into one Vivaldi this project is completely (needs signature) done. As I have said, “Good Riddance.” My Studio is a mess. My mind and the meaning of this art have become confused and a wonderment, and so it is full-steam-ahead, looking for relief in the next great music painting.

I am going back to my standard, and comfortable 30 x 40 works. I have many songs that sing to me, cling to me, stand out to me, that reflect my idea of what is art, and reflect what I am feeling in the moment, that need to become real, hands on, the next big thing, the breakthrough I have been looking for, the one that sells, and the one I can let got, so let’s get back on track headed to nowhere but feeling good.

As for this project, I hate commission work even when I commission it myself. I also love commission work for the challenge and the problem solving that each brings to this art. I am a better artist for the discipline of a commission demands. But since this self-commission work will not bring in any monies to cover my yearly art expenses, it is has basically been an ego thing and a waste of two months. I will probably end up with the same results with my next 30 x 40 project. The reward is that I will be back to where I want to explore in greater depth, and that will mean cheaper in cash spend and time wasted.

Keep on keeping on. What other choice is there? HUM, that is up to me.

With help, I finally hung this artwork, and, thankfully, hangs according to my plan. I placed the wall hangers 32 inches apart, making it easy, and a pleasant surprise, to lift the less than one foot needed to mount it. On March 11th I will have worked on this project for two months. This work has exhausted me, along with a coughing cold for the last few weeks. Soon I will mount it at the 2Roots wine bar locally, torture through the three-hour reception on the 20th, and then 30 days later, take it down and because of It size, try to fit it in with the thirteen other 4 Seasons artworks that have never seen the light of public view. Good riddances. This entire project felt like a commissioned work. And it was, as my last good faith effort to support our dying EmptyWallsArt art group. Like all commissioned work it had its interesting challenges and obstacles, and out-of-nowhere answers that were needed to get to the end of this project in a mind sobering two months.

This image I took on the February 27th when I proved I could run four timers, four LEDs lights, two power adapters, and a 20 watt stereo system all with only 1 12 volt power supply.
This image from March 2nd, I wanted to document how much effort, stuff and challenges go into each step throughout a day.
