What the…! Transformative Art that Bends Your Brain Cells
May 27th, 2007
Are you needing some mind expansion to help on a project or maybe a release from the humdrum day? Check out Canadian Brian Jungen’s art. Jungen transforms everyday objects of utility into some wild forms. I was fortunate to view it first hand at Montreal’s Museum of Contemporary Art last year. Giant dinosaur skeletons made from plastic chairs and strange aboriginal masks made from cut-up athletic shoes. Wild, mind-bending, perspective changing art.
If you get a chance to view any of his work in person, take it! Getting a different perspective on the world through art, music or literature can, I believe, lead to good things all around.
What are your thoughts on creativity in the business world you inhabit?

Creativity is sorely lacking in most environments. I never wait for the leadership to come and fix this. I just bring my own. I advise against especially disruptive creativity, but beyond that, I’m strongly for a guerrilla experience, of delivering creativity wherever you can to the workplace. Sneak it in. Use whiteboards for more than stupid process diagrams. Use Post-ITs as little canvasses.
By all means, bring it with you in your language. Refuse normal responses to common questions. “How are you?” “I’m plotting an overthrow of an imaginary kingdom.”
Great links, btw. Thanks. I’ve read about 30 of your blog posts in a row. Swell guy. How come I didn’t know about you yet? You seem like my type of thinking human. Good on ya.
