“Alexander Mosaic probably dating from the late second or early first century BCE. found in the House of the Faun in Pompeii.
A floor mosaic found in the remains of a Roman house in Pompeii is likely a copy of a panel painting painted by Philoxenos of Eretria about 310 BCE. The mosaic represents the pivotal moment in the Battle of Issus when the Persian king Darius retreats from the relentless attack of the Greeks led by Alexander on horseback. The narrative focuses on the contrast between the heroic Alexander personally leading the attack and the terrified Darius attempting to flee. Alexander was known to have had a horse named Bucephalus who was so wild only Alexander could tame and ride him.”-via.

[S]elf examination entails self-awareness, i.e., awareness of the components of the self. But self-awareness is largely a matter of degree. If you’ve only had a few discordant experiences, or relatively superficial discordant experience, you don’t need to examine yourself very deeply in order to revise your false beliefs.End quote.

This piece, like Catalysis, calls attention to the issues of gender and race in a personal and also a more general sense. [see previous post for fuller explanation] However, Piper has introduced a more blatant, obvious and permanent aspect to her art. She has painted herself white and walks around the city wearing a sign that says “WET PAINT.” Not only does this force the people who walk by/see her to consider her identity as an artist, woman and a person of color, it also causes them to think about their own personal identities (and maybe even the representation of those identities in the media). Once again, maybe this seems far-fetched to you…but once again, consider being there. Not only do you see some lady walking around calling attention to herself in a strange way, but maybe you brushed up against her and you now have paint on you for the rest of the day. Free #2 evokes permanence and curiosity, and also suggests at artistic freedom.
