The title speaks to ideas solidified by psychologist Carl Jung, who wrote, “Because there are innumerable things beyond the range of human understanding, we constantly use symbolic terms to represent concepts that we cannot define or fully comprehend.” The rich array of cultural meanings for circles include healing, journey, resolution, and infinity.

In this case, the circle is made up of 20 actual chicken wishbones and a 21st broken wishbone in the very middle. (The wishbones were collected over the years by DOEprojekts). The implication is that one wish of good will put things right for 20 others: this time it’s an animal sacrifice for the benefit of twenty others. (It is important to note that sacrifice of one on behalf of many, is a “core” Judeo-Christian concept).

It was difficult to gain even a small amount of skill with the brush, paint, and the texture of the tile. Eventually, we had to accept that our efforts would be imperfect, and we began painting on our 5" x 5" porcelain tiles.</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIm3enLXox8iL5ejViUfb1C1UXTmSFPkuVBM9GzQmP0rkC-Z5Y0iXqnSMmnqiG_7fe1mz1_L3MJ1Slrus6aFVc-F8GW0e21JiAcW9R1VZdIDtE_5cfU8kPvGb7GzUAkRXvhOMt96kTQCnGNfpDtH8UyUSvrLzKozZOcTF3OO2LZjIa9ZF_2GoIvWLLjbo/s800/3.Delft%20tiles%20before%20firing%20sm.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="618" data-original-width="800" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIm3enLXox8iL5ejViUfb1C1UXTmSFPkuVBM9GzQmP0rkC-Z5Y0iXqnSMmnqiG_7fe1mz1_L3MJ1Slrus6aFVc-F8GW0e21JiAcW9R1VZdIDtE_5cfU8kPvGb7GzUAkRXvhOMt96kTQCnGNfpDtH8UyUSvrLzKozZOcTF3OO2LZjIa9ZF_2GoIvWLLjbo/w640-h494/3.Delft%20tiles%20before%20firing%20sm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;">After transferring our sketches to the porcelain, and practicing with the brush and ink-like paint, we were able to create designs that integrated both our DOEprojekts' Coreforms and the Royal Delft tile aesthetic. During the process, and after we had completed the painting, we took photos -- our blog readers can see that the paint looks almost black. We had to leave the tiles to be kiln-fired in Delft. The paint becomes "Delft blue" after firing.</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRwn3uBTdzpO_td7aOlFDDsl5N5WZxWtCVjxJA26sBa4V4Tkh0J1A4h-47VqlqCy2qiFibmz9nRF6VrNdR6a38_biSIBv9yjgbmPQlekhOJynvCUlFFbdlPioz-SqtpyAfmJrVJfMaAauYw_p9mvbXMYoW9Tsde4X8kDIcN4vb5kp_mBYlVtmg5TkLaAw/s800/4.Delft%20wall%20&%20DG%20sm.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="573" data-original-width="800" height="458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRwn3uBTdzpO_td7aOlFDDsl5N5WZxWtCVjxJA26sBa4V4Tkh0J1A4h-47VqlqCy2qiFibmz9nRF6VrNdR6a38_biSIBv9yjgbmPQlekhOJynvCUlFFbdlPioz-SqtpyAfmJrVJfMaAauYw_p9mvbXMYoW9Tsde4X8kDIcN4vb5kp_mBYlVtmg5TkLaAw/w640-h458/4.Delft%20wall%20&%20DG%20sm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;"><i>Above left: A welcoming wall displaying Royal Delft porcelain plates.<br />Above right: Deborah and Glenn with their painted, but not yet kiln-fired, tiles.

The Dutch spelling of Mondrian is Mondriaan -- Piet dropped the second "a" when he immigrated to New York City. The city of Amersfoort created a museum in the Mondriaanhuis (the house where Mondrian was born and matured into a young adult). The Mondriaanhuis is a small museum that is an unexpected delight.</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;">All three of Mondrian's art studios -- Amsterdam, Paris, and New York City -- have been recreated to scale in the museum.

Doering, lead artists) brought their creativity and Coreforms to Amsterdam and surrounding cities in the Netherlands, during June and July 2023. Our trip was both a wonderful opportunity to be inspired by visual objects and experiences, past and present, and also a way to integrate our Coreforms into our travels</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;">.</span><p></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;">Before our trip, we designed two slightly different T-shirts, influenced by Dutch artists Piet Mondrian (1872-1944). Our Coreforms (circles, vertical and horizontal lines, swashes and points) diverge from Mondrian's well-known visual system of horizontal-vertical lines and primary colors. DOEprojekts-Amsterdam logos extend Mondrian's visual aesthetic by adding circles, points and swashes. DOEprojekts does not (yet) limit our color palette to any specific colors.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip5tALz8aSHsdOSWy4NtFDmgF1jBektsLuc-kXqQxtbIhtFthZJbTX90-FdTXMUO-8kTsAxTLVRb4luLFOr_eSlWRGlIYYY2hnnMu3Iv9Wona1pQvX732m4VGNi3US5uHRVnt8qdW7Fyr0YXguNTwuNHswIIcxhFwSufXPeg610-8F7ERspDqBFRJDr_Y/s840/2.Amsterdam%20DebGlenn_logos%20sm%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="840" height="458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip5tALz8aSHsdOSWy4NtFDmgF1jBektsLuc-kXqQxtbIhtFthZJbTX90-FdTXMUO-8kTsAxTLVRb4luLFOr_eSlWRGlIYYY2hnnMu3Iv9Wona1pQvX732m4VGNi3US5uHRVnt8qdW7Fyr0YXguNTwuNHswIIcxhFwSufXPeg610-8F7ERspDqBFRJDr_Y/w640-h458/2.Amsterdam%20DebGlenn_logos%20sm%20copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;"><i>Above: Standing in front of Piet Mondrian's last painted work "Victory Boogie Woogie" at Kunstmuseum Den Haag (Art Museum of The Hague, Netherlands) wearing our custom designed T-shirts.</i></span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf71ftiqr92LwMJL44tkvLp8en-YGxfYbLCJtQVRsq91MwqdOLdze1bF0T93o9R1otEsNqdetjrRnIF-QGSKeX4P_j-UhmNidHVVXh87MPVpccqykE7z8A-zo5xQxDBndU7xtHZqcLARx3cmTf0g_9VD9cnnlx5csxlx3RPLfFvk3io4dQ6Td24DrQImk/s800/3.Mondrians%20Last%20Painting%20sm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf71ftiqr92LwMJL44tkvLp8en-YGxfYbLCJtQVRsq91MwqdOLdze1bF0T93o9R1otEsNqdetjrRnIF-QGSKeX4P_j-UhmNidHVVXh87MPVpccqykE7z8A-zo5xQxDBndU7xtHZqcLARx3cmTf0g_9VD9cnnlx5csxlx3RPLfFvk3io4dQ6Td24DrQImk/w640-h480/3.Mondrians%20Last%20Painting%20sm.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;">Our close-up photo of Mondrian's "Victory Boogie Woogie" -- Mondrian was still painting on this canvas when he died in 1944.

Coreforms are universal forms that, when viewed from certain perspectives, may be seen as the same form.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial;">The core concept of all artifacts and experiences that are initiated by DOEprojekts is <i>movement</i>.

We are changed as individuals and as communities, ideally contributing creatively to the common good.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial;">Each pochoir may be used in multiple ways; each participant decides how to generate physical and psychological movement through their individual creativity.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQA8C__BAX4RkkRg4jZwEKW8Gd1Oa9hYlzzq4MjlovLL2lZCrZBUxLGfIlXg3BfLnO5sf2qGAuzP5BVtzuGjlYxWoMJ_NwDlkAt7i0UdADPKleJ0_wCXISu8OsSfERi0nlHcIxpPG90FOLzMv3TMl8Kb38AQJx3xjAgImph4miqkqx1SsVfZQ2aK0MRZI/s800/Pochoirs%20with%20light%20sm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="513" data-original-width="800" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQA8C__BAX4RkkRg4jZwEKW8Gd1Oa9hYlzzq4MjlovLL2lZCrZBUxLGfIlXg3BfLnO5sf2qGAuzP5BVtzuGjlYxWoMJ_NwDlkAt7i0UdADPKleJ0_wCXISu8OsSfERi0nlHcIxpPG90FOLzMv3TMl8Kb38AQJx3xjAgImph4miqkqx1SsVfZQ2aK0MRZI/w640-h410/Pochoirs%20with%20light%20sm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Above: Pochoirs used to create lighting effects.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial;">Additionally, DOEprojekts has created one <i>frottage</i> (rubbed image), using a wax block, for each pochoir.

Other ways to participate include stippling paint through the stencil or using the stencil to create shadows, and then documenting various effects photographically (stencils may also be used with cyanotpe/sun printing papers).

This theater production imagined the dialog between Andy Warhol (performed by Paul Bettany) and Jean-Michel Basquiat (Jeremy Pope). In the play, the two artists are introduced by art dealer and collector Bruno Bischofberger (Erik Jensen) during a tumultuous time in the New York art world -- the 1980s. At that time, Warhol was losing some of his world-wide popularity and Basquiat's fame was rising. Bischofberger encouraged Warhol to collaborate with the younger artist for a number of reasons, one of them being that Basquiat's drug use was becoming an impediment (some might say otherwise) to his artistic output.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial;">The play highlights the tensions between two artists who ostensibly have very different viewpoints on the role of visual art. Through playwright Anthony McCarton's script, Warhol and Basquiat debate "big life questions" such as identity, commerce, culture, faith, and death. The play is both entertaining and thought-provoking, and prompted dialog and reflection by our DOEprojekts Art Collaborative.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Z5PyjVMZyVK07ncO9CS791GRyyKsw0XpG0CEPnO697lb9c5JZIbl_26_y2y1gyga8kvcvXONBQ7tuNMCSwdGhu1cjaZIN0QpPoqgyi9HiLQlIOHzh1Cvaknd63ZcITyLMhh5zhULBhnagdv2lY1WFjFo2QWGWH3tpFH_SCHi-lylcmraTIiTq2mh/s4032/4.IMG_4149sm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Z5PyjVMZyVK07ncO9CS791GRyyKsw0XpG0CEPnO697lb9c5JZIbl_26_y2y1gyga8kvcvXONBQ7tuNMCSwdGhu1cjaZIN0QpPoqgyi9HiLQlIOHzh1Cvaknd63ZcITyLMhh5zhULBhnagdv2lY1WFjFo2QWGWH3tpFH_SCHi-lylcmraTIiTq2mh/w640-h480/4.IMG_4149sm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial;">On a somewhat less "public" scale than subway installations or Broadway plays, our DOEprojekts collaboration drew and cut a pair of Yupo stencils in February.

The exhibition was initiated by artist, educator, and curator, Arnold Bode, in 1955; Bode wanted to showcase art works which had been labeled "Entartete Kunst" (Degenerate Art) by the Nazis. Bode reportedly titled the exhibition "documenta" because <i><u>docere</u></i> is Latin for 'teach' and <i><u>mens</u></i> is Latin for 'intellect.' The exhibition focuses on "learning through art" rather than the commerce of art.</span></div><p></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXzEUWZpBs9MDQAbon_oqGGGfEjMLgjz6MSmUsWeMpDSIap__XJbESE78yH3ZsMHHibu1Ny_KcNAkKwGzWDZP-_PLOsfE4Gok_T2HIZW_0Odgnc5fJtqBy_fdb1RMpgbHbfaXYjw9xxoyHRzUf5pQr1EikV3_cjd02zktUR9bU5qwypQsOtDHVrLmR/s1000/3.ruangrupa%20artnet.com.sm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="759" data-original-width="1000" height="486" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXzEUWZpBs9MDQAbon_oqGGGfEjMLgjz6MSmUsWeMpDSIap__XJbESE78yH3ZsMHHibu1Ny_KcNAkKwGzWDZP-_PLOsfE4Gok_T2HIZW_0Odgnc5fJtqBy_fdb1RMpgbHbfaXYjw9xxoyHRzUf5pQr1EikV3_cjd02zktUR9bU5qwypQsOtDHVrLmR/w640-h486/3.ruangrupa%20artnet.com.sm.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial;">The works for each Documenta exhibition are usually selected by an individual curator.

We look forward to sharing our experiences with our blog readers -- stay tuned!</span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb_H1J8VlTdpNu1oXdDDEMWSFhZ1NxSTDjp8bTmSiFlzvz9x49Ho9PWAB-uCvfl9HpRRrmh1VMOL0Xw2KGCgzSNmg7RtgvyZ10JX86Tg5L_y8y-8kKdlbJyL__57BOeFwCGnstmFyy_oKRqbjj068Eyw0nLm8cQLOTDtxlDEtf61m7w4unO4rc550k/s1098/1d.Wishing%20You%20Well%20for%20blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="648" data-original-width="1098" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb_H1J8VlTdpNu1oXdDDEMWSFhZ1NxSTDjp8bTmSiFlzvz9x49Ho9PWAB-uCvfl9HpRRrmh1VMOL0Xw2KGCgzSNmg7RtgvyZ10JX86Tg5L_y8y-8kKdlbJyL__57BOeFwCGnstmFyy_oKRqbjj068Eyw0nLm8cQLOTDtxlDEtf61m7w4unO4rc550k/w640-h378/1d.Wishing%20You%20Well%20for%20blog.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: arial;">When we return from our travels, we will surely re-visit the "Magical Thinking: Superstitions and Other Persistent Notions" exhibition at the Dr. Bernard Heller Museum in lower Manhattan.

It was a socially distancing, zoom-group-chatting year, allowing us to view artist symposiums and exhibitions online; it was also a year in which DOEprojekts (Deborah Adams Doering and Glenn N. Doering) persevered to create art and community through diverse creative projects. In addition, we taught art to several groups online, and took time to visit whatever museums and galleries were open in person (with masks, of course). </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhHL_4cc1HUVLhjX16aQy8sgTg5ZwahI2bAVSjPKjTwczU2YlDymSlvy59N-E1lSRXQey-kNEU0tq2s_GOKH6FRixffygzaeK570RZjG8CBzSJQp3FIbGE_fShyphenhyphenysiFLl5LwlQWHrboN8/s800/2.2020-09-13-MaskedNYC%25E2%2580%25932+Glenn+Deb+sm.jpg" style="clear: left; display: inline; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="517" data-original-width="800" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhHL_4cc1HUVLhjX16aQy8sgTg5ZwahI2bAVSjPKjTwczU2YlDymSlvy59N-E1lSRXQey-kNEU0tq2s_GOKH6FRixffygzaeK570RZjG8CBzSJQp3FIbGE_fShyphenhyphenysiFLl5LwlQWHrboN8/w640-h414/2.2020-09-13-MaskedNYC%25E2%2580%25932+Glenn+Deb+sm.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;">We participated in "Masked NYC," a thoughtful and diverse documentary project by photographer AJ Stetson.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #646568;">In late July 2020, DOEprojekts received a rewarding email -- one of the seven flag designs that we submitted in June to "The Flag Project," sponsored by Rockefeller Center, was in production and would be flown with 192 other flags in Rockefeller Plaza beginning August 1, 2020. The stated goals of "The Flag Project" include showing love, strength, diversity and creativity during this time of social distancing because of the COVID pandemic. We, Deborah and Glenn Doering/DOEprojekts, were very excited and honored to be included as part of this public art project, which includes flags designed from creative people around the world. Well-known artists who designed flags include Carmen Herrera, Faith Ringgold, Hank Willis Thomas, Jenny Holzer, Laurie Anderson, Marina Abramovic, Sarah Sze, Shantell Martin, Sanford Biggers, KAWS, and many others. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #646568;">It seems like a long time ago, but it was only the first week of March 2020! The COVID19 pandemic infiltrating NYC was still a rumor, not a fact. No one was wearing a mask at Pier 36 for the "<u><a href="https://thepaperfair.com/ny" target="_blank">Art on Paper</a></u>" exhibition, one of the satellite art fairs held yearly during the Spring Armory Show in NYC. DOEprojekts was pleased to be invited to exhibit two of our works by CENTRAL BOOKING's curator Maddy Rosenberg. Just 8 days after these photos were taken, we were all ordered to "stay-at-home" and the COVID19 quarantine began.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #646568;">On Monday, June 8, 2020, <u><a href="http://www.doeprojekts.org/" target="_blank">DOEprojekts</a></u> posted our 80th consecutive mandala (literally "circle") on <u><a href="https://www.facebook.com/DOEprojekts.org" target="_blank">Facebook</a></u>, <u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/doeprojekts/" target="_blank">Instagram</a></u> and <a href="https://twitter.com/DOEprojekts" target="_blank">Twitter</a>. All were created during New York City's quarantine (a.k.a. "stay-at-home" to avoid the novel corona virus, COVID19). However, for our 80th mandala, our "tag line" changed from the previous seventy-nine; instead of "Mandalas for a Time of Quarantine," we posted "Mandalas for a Time of Opening and Awakening." </span></span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #646568;">We feel we have moved <i>from</i> a time of quarantine <i>to</i> a time of opening and awakening -- physically, socially, and hopefully spiritually. There is a newly heightened awareness of how racism and income inequality has disproportionately endangered the lives of black and brown people, especially after the murder of George Floyd on Monday, May 25th, 2020. We grieve such injustices -- and we strive to be even more conscious of large and small ways we can contribute to making a much more equitable and open world. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #646568;">We created our mandalas, in large part, to keep the wheels of our creativity greased and lubricated during quarantine. We were surprised and pleased that a select number of organizations asked us if they could link to, or showcase, our mandala series. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #646568;">Another organization that featured our mandalas for Mental Health Awareness Month is the <u><a href="https://www.froedtert.com/" target="_blank">Froedtert Hospital and its Medical College of Wisconsin</a></u>. Sarah Turner, a registered nurse at Froedtert, contacted us and asked permission to print out and post several of the mandalas on their community board. We were so very pleased to be asked, and of course, we granted permission. She sent us photos of the community boards -- positively eye-catching!</span></span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXqPALkBq7e28Yr6LDSWe2_cGnd2LfOqLtae2NEMt3NN03vzxaN3TTSHDeW8YnZvWLYaBVYBtfu_XWXIT4EIxmPwIWPsVkhgddyohxL17rFa13LZmdihCDYieeLcoj1UyVGIww3oDTpAY/s1600/Mental+Health+Poster+from+Sarah+sm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="388" data-original-width="800" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXqPALkBq7e28Yr6LDSWe2_cGnd2LfOqLtae2NEMt3NN03vzxaN3TTSHDeW8YnZvWLYaBVYBtfu_XWXIT4EIxmPwIWPsVkhgddyohxL17rFa13LZmdihCDYieeLcoj1UyVGIww3oDTpAY/s640/Mental+Health+Poster+from+Sarah+sm.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />

<span face=""helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #646568;">A mandala -- literally "circle" -- offers viewers a place to "rest their eyes and minds." Circles (zeros), are one of five coreforms of our <a href="http://www.doeprojekts.org/" target="_blank">DOEprojekts</a> artistic practice.</span></span></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #646568;">Thus, during our present reality, during the time we are quarantined in our Manhattan apartment because of the rapid global spread of the COVID 19 we have decided to create a series of mandalas. "Mandala" has become a somewhat generic term for a circular pattern indicating the transitory nature of the universe, but the practice originated as an aid to meditation.</span></span></span><span style="color: #042eee; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 13px;"></span></div>

<span face=""helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #646568;">Making mandalas, considering circles and zeros, is a way for us to focus, with resting eyes, on the transitory nature of materiality. </span></span></span></div>

In 2008, shortly before we began to officially work together as DOEprojekts, Deborah was invited by <u><a href="https://www.bethshadur.com/the-poetic-dialogue-project" target="_blank">curator Beth Shadur</a></u> to participate in <i>The Poetic Dialogue Project</i> at the Chicago Cultural Center. Beth paired Deborah with poet <u><a href="http://eloisekleinhealy.com/" target="_blank">Eloise Klein Healy</a></u>, and the theme that emerged through their "dialogue" (which was done at a distance since Eloise lives in California) was "Rest." Here are photos from the Rest Installation, 2008. </span></span></span><span style="color: #042eee; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />

Dr. Joel was a die-hard New Yorker, uprooted from Flushing, NYC, and assigned to the small-town of Cicely, Alaska, as part of his payback for medical school loans. Dr. Fleischman was kind enough to use a "DOEprojekts Coreform Vision Chart" during his year-end eye exams. Let's see what our DOEprojekts visions may be as we leave 2019 and look forward to 2020!</span><br />

We hope to continue educating people about the cultural contributions of the Bauhaus school (1919-1933) in 2020. We had anticipated visiting the Bauhaus School and Museum in Dessau, Germany this year, but for reasons "beyond" our control, we must look to the future for our hoped-for journey. </span><br />

We enjoyed sharing our Coreforms with participants in PAFAC's Summer Solstice Art Celebration during (when else?) the Summer Solstice, June 20-21. We always enjoy making a connection between Coreforms and nature's forms, and we hope to visit again and create a larger installation for PAFAC!</span></span></span><br />

We make it a goal to visit an exhibition or museum every week, although we sometimes fall short of our goal. Above, we visited the <a href="https://www.cooperhewitt.org/events/current-exhibitions/" target="_blank">Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum's</a> Immersion Room, where we were able to draw our "Hybr" form on a nearby computer and have it projected as wallpaper.</span><br />

Thus, we intervened through our presence in the exhibition "Illusions of the Photographer: Duane Michals at the Morgan" (<a href="https://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/current" target="_blank">Morgan Library and Museum</a>). </span></span></span><br />

Our one-week class focused on the centennial of the German art school known as the <u><a href="https://grunewaldguild.com/events/rock-paper-scissors-exploring-bauhaus-100th-year-with-deb-glenn-doering/" target="_blank">Bauhaus</a></u> (1919 - 1933)</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "lucida grande" , "lucida sans unicode" , "lucida sans" , "verdana" , "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">. In the early 20th century, the Bauhaus was a radical art & design school that evolved from a philosophy centering on the integration of fine art and craft. Bauhaus students were required to take a year-long "preliminary course" that introduced them to, and required them to experiment with, various art forms and materials: modern shapes and colors applied to furniture design, weaving, pottery, printmaking, photography, and many other types of creative expression -- not unlike the Grünewald Guild!</span></div>

"Backbone" is a participatory art work that has been shown at several galleries and community art centers in the US and abroad. (Below: DOEprojekts' photos of "Backbone" and The Bauhaus Archive's photos of costumes & performances.) </span></div>

The nearness of nature at Holden is always awe-inspiring to us. </span><br />

Being frequently "out and about," <a href="http://doeprojekts.org/" target="_blank">DOEprojekts</a> has visited (and participated in the public art of) seasonal art fairs including: the Armory Show (March 6-10), Frieze Art Fair, (May 2-5) and the Every Woman Biennial (May 20-29). </span><br />

More than 10 feet long and 8 feet high, the wool tapestry is embellished by the artist's signature embroidered patterns. Bool's juxtaposition of grided clover quadrifoils with leafless trees asks viewers to consider what can we do to repair devastated landscapes on our distressed planet? The photographic image with the same quadrifoil pattern on the left is titled "Tsunami." Bool's repetitive forms speak to our own <a href="http://doeprojekts.org/coreforms-and-keywords-thoughts-on-invitations-to-interact/" target="_blank">Coreforms</a>.</span><br />

Glenn takes a break on a large mattress work at the Armory Show (unfortunately, we didn't write down the artist's name, but we appreciated the visual and audio nature of the work). At the EWB, Deborah meditated under the large steel pyramid shape, following the artist's instructions (Angel Favorite is the artist) to meditate for at least 10 minutes. We remembered our own work titled "<a href="http://www.deborahdoering.com/writings/rest.html" target="_blank">Rest</a>" that was exhibited at the Chicago Cultural Center in 2009 (shortly before Glenn and Deborah began working together as <a href="http://doeprojekts.org/about/" target="_blank">DOEprojekts</a>).</span><br />

The Bauhaus' (1919-1933, Germany) teachers and students worked toward a universal language of form, a process that interests both of us as we continue to work and develop our Coreforms, which we consider a 21st century universal language. The Bauhaus became synonymous with a certain modern style -- minimalist, geometric, abstract -- but those associations do not tell the whole story.

Articles such as <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/01/magazine/climate-change-losing-earth.html" target="_blank">"Losing Earth: The Decade We Almost Stopped Climate Change"</a> cause us to abruptly pause and consider carefully how our daily actions, long-term choices, and art-making, support or neglect our natural environment.</span></span><br />

If recycling is not an option for a specific project, we have created unique objects that can be "staged" over and over again, in various natural settings -- like the 3D-printed "Hybr Square" shown in the photo above. </span><br />

As we research and experiment during our preliminary phase, we are continually reminded about the ingenuity and material-resourcefulness of the teachers and students of the Bauhaus (Germany, 1919-1933).</span></span><br />
