Eike Waltz, poet >1.Eike Waltz I consider my poetry "post-modern DADA". "Subversive and irreverent, DADA, more than any other movement, had shaken society's notions of art and cultural production. Fiercely anti-authoritarian and anti-hierarchical, DADA questioned the myth of originality, suggesting instead that everybody should be an artist. Anything could be art". Despite traditional critics arguing that political poetry can-not exist. Poetry and politics connect through expression and feeling. It is a way of critical thinking in which you don't simply accept all arguments and conclusions you are exposed to but rather have an attitude involving questioning such arguments and conclusions. Political poetry has existed from the earliest times, including the Roman, Horace ( 65 BC - 8 BC). >2.Sheila Halligan-Waltz Indeed, this work by Sheila Halligan-Waltz screams SEX. It doesn't mean it. The works are erotically posed but not pornographic. They are stories circling a central idea. The artwork, and the subject is living passionately. Maureen Davidson: "What a pair they are, Sheila & Eike; she from a small Illinois town, then Chicago, where she began her art studies at the Art Institute before moving to Santa Cruz and meeting Eike, who had been a ballet dancer in Berlin, then an MFA graduate of the Royal College of Art in London with a concurrent degree in industrial design (MdesRCA) and a successful engineering and business career. Over the years they each and together continued and deepened their art practice, expressing their shared views through art, aiming to effect change thereby". Alan Bamberger: "Art is about expressing yourself creatively and sharing that expression with others. To make a series of paintings that shirtsleeve your feelings, to rent a gallery space in downtown San Francisco to show those paintings, to share your pain with people you've never met, all with no intention of selling a single penny, is not only an act of bravery, but it's what art is all about at its very central innermost core. No matter what your position on the current administration, this was worth seeing. And if you're an artist, talk to the Halligan-Waltz's. They'll remind you why you do what you do".
