Ibhloko yeGapers yapapashwa ukususela nge-22 ka-Epreli 2003 ukuya kwi-1 kaJanuwari 2016. Le ndawo iya kuhlala igciniwe. Nceda undwendwele iThird Coast Review, iwebhusayithi entsha eyenziwe ngabantu abaphumeleleyo e-UK. ✶ Enkosi ngabafundi bakho nangeminikelo yakho. ✶
Ndigqibe ekubeni ndithathe inyathelo ndibhale iposi yokugqibela kwiGapers Block ndaza ndayimisa malunga neyure. Bendingumhleli wephepha oxhomekeke kwimiqathango unyaka wonke kwaye ndingumbhali wemidlalo/iintsomi phantse iminyaka emithathu. Ndingaphantsi kwababhali abaninzi beGB abaphezulu, kodwa ngelo xesha ndibhale amanqaku angama-284. Ndiza kumkhumbula kakhulu uGapers Block. Kuyakhuthaza ngokwengqondo nangokweemvakalelo ukuba nendawo apho unokubhala khona rhoqo malunga nobugcisa endibuthandayo - imidlalo yeqonga, ubugcisa, uyilo, uyilo lwezakhiwo, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha iincwadi okanye umculo.
Inqaku lam lokuqala lapapashwa ngoMeyi 2013 kwiphepha leklabhu yeencwadi. Olu luphawu lomculi we-punk rock weminyaka yoo-70 uRichard Hell, owaziwa kakhulu ngehempe yakhe ethi “Please Kill Me”. Uyathetha, uphendula imibuzo, aze asayine incwadi yakhe entsha kwigumbi elingaphantsi kweencwadi eLincoln Avenue (ndiphuphe ndingumntu ococekileyo kakhulu) kwaye ndinethamsanqa lokubona umdlali we-bass kunye nomculi ecaleni kweVoidoids, iTelevishini kunye neHeartbreakers. Kwandinceda nangakumbi xa umhleli weklabhu yeencwadi wandicela ukuba ndibhale isincoko ngaye.
Isenokuba yi-pop art katata wakho, kodwa umsebenzi oboniswe kumboniso omtsha weMyuziyam yoBugcisa banamhlanje usemtsha kwaye unomdla. Ubugcisa obabothusa abantu ababalaseleyo bobugcisa behlabathi kwiminyaka engama-50 eyadlulayo busenamabali abawabalisayo nanamhlanje.
Iququzelelwe yi-MCA, i-Neo-Pop Art Design idibanisa izinto zobugcisa kunye noyilo ezili-150 kumboniso ogcwele ubulumko nesibindi. Ikukhumbuza indlela i-“The Art of Campbell's Soup Can” ka-Andy Warhol eyahlekwa ngayo ngabantu abangayaziyo. Kulapho ke abaqokeleli ababalaseleyo bavuka khona baza baqalisa ukuthenga iWarhol.
Ukutyhila inyaniso, ukubalisa amabali angaxelwanga, kunye nokuyeka ubunzima obubuhlungu kunokusebenza njengokucoca ngokomoya nangokweemvakalelo. Kwiprojekthi kaCorinne Peterson ethi “Kane”, abantu ababekhona eChicago bayamenywa ukuba bathathe inxaxheba kwiiworkshop zabo zodongwe kunye ne-porcelain baze babelane ngeengxaki zabo ukuze bazibone zikhanya. Abantu bayalelwe ukuba benze “ilitye” ngodongwe ukuze limele ubumnyama babo bangaphakathi okanye ukwenzakala, baze emva koko benze uphawu oluncinci lokukhanya oluvela kwi-porcelain. Emva kweseminari, uPeterson wabonisa induli “kwilitye” lodongwe waza wabeka ithokheni ye-porcelain phezu kwelitye njengelifu lethemba.
Okwangoku kwiZiko loBugcisa laseLillstreet, iPeterson's Cairn and the Cloud: Collective Expressions of Trauma and Hope, eyenziwe ngamalungu eeworkshops ezingaphezu kwama-60, iquka imifanekiso emininzi yodongwe emema ukucamngca nokucamngca.
Ndihlale phantsi nomzobi kwizihlalo ezibini zokucamngca kwindawo yomboniso saza saxoxa ngezimvo ezingasemva kweprojekthi kaKane kunye nokusasazeka kwentlungu nethemba.
Abafundi, abafoti kunye nabameli bembali yaseChicago bagxile kwi-ode kaRichard Nichol malunga nesixeko kunye nenkumbulo yaso. Kodwa ingxoxo eqhelekileyo ye-nickel yintsomi nje: abantu abanikela ngobomi babo ngenxa yokwakha.
Ngethamsanqa, i-Urban Archives Press eseChicago ipapashe incwadi yayo yesibini malunga nomfoti kunye nomlweli wezopolitiko uRichard Nickell: Dangerous Years: What He Sees and What He Writes. Le ncwadi lithuba elikhethekileyo lokwazi umsebenzi kaNickel kwaye kwangaxeshanye ufunde ngaye njengomntu ngeefoto ezingaphezu kwe-100 kunye namanye amaxwebhu ali-100, uninzi lwawo abhalwe nguNickel ngesandla.
Iphetshana elineleta malunga nezifundo zikaNickel kwisikolo soyilo kunye nomfanekiso wakhe wokuqala.
