<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
"A Feast of Fools" was developed for Bumbershoot, Seattle's Arts Festival, in
1996, in collaboration with Susy Schneider and Gene Gentry McMahon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Susy developed her idea in response to
a much more mundane one put forth by One Reel (Bumbershoot's producer).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Susy based her vision on the medieval
festival <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_Fools">Feast of Fools</a>,
an imitation of the Roman Saturnalia, "in
which power, dignity and impunity is briefly conferred on those in a
subordinate position." (-Wikipedia)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This inversion of power was played out doubly in our feast,
in that a model of the set was created first, and 13 performing groups,
selected by Susy, were invited to create work responding to the set.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our bawdy theater played to delighted
crowds on a rotating schedule throughout the festival. </div>

</tbody></table>As graphic designers who had worked in the creative freedom of The Rocket moved on in the quest for greener pastures in publishing, they often brought along their illustrator contacts. Jesse Reyes took over at Guitar World and featured a number of Seattle illustrators including myself. Here are a few of the pieces that I did. <br />

</tbody></table>The day that I was scheduled to be on an artist designed garden tour, I was unexpectedly detained on the Strange Bedfellows float in the pride parade, but my little garden was on the tour. Thankfully, Rose, my downstairs neighbor, was also on the tour. My home studio was next to the long term I-90/Rainier Avenue South overpass construction site and there was a concrete pumping company at the end of the block, so I created a miniature freeway traffic jam. Sculptures from the Eden II installation and my collection of river rock embellished my little parking strip garden. <br />

</tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">During the 90s my work occasionally appeared in Re-Bar, or on a Re-Bar float in Seattle's Gay Pride Parade. Sometimes it was the remains of a previous installation, as with the exotic fruits from "A Fool's Paradise," or my Wind Puppets. Other times I collaborated with Steve Wells and crew to produce parade floats. I later created a stage set for "Pirates of Lesbos," one of the many theatrical productions that Re-Bar hosted. I also worked on some of the numerous benefits that were put on there, including one for Babes and one for Reflex entitled "Mirror Mirror Off the Wall."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</tbody></table>Strange Bedfellows was a Wells brothers production in 1995. After another all-nighter, Steve talked me into joining the bedfellows. He had to race me home to grab my outfit and big wig. Yes that's me in the blue. It was great fun, and I even made the evening news!<br />
<br />
After the parade, Strange Bedfellows moved to Fremont to be part of "A miracle on 34th Street, a celebration of life through miniature golf." The event was a fund raiser for the Northwest AIDS Foundation and Rise n' Shine programs for children and teens affected by HIV and AIDS.<br />

</tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In 1992, I curated the Seattle portion of COCA's "Media to Metaphor: ART ABOUT AIDS," the traveling exhibit originally organized by Robert Atkins and Thomas W. Sokolowski for Independent Curators, Inc. in New York City. This was an extensive broad ranging production including the gallery exhibit, 16 window installations, a video program, projections on SAM, a panel discussion, a cabaret benefit and a DJ dance party. I worked with two graphic designers to pull this all together into the poster/program/mailer: Art Chantry did the main graphic (above), and Julia Field designed the program piece and helped me to organize my thoughts and the benefit for Babes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

We would meet at the Music Hall at around 10:00 PM when the destruction crew was leaving, and we had the entire space to ourselves. I would assist in the setting of lights so that John could take the very long exposure photos capturing the slow disappearance of the incredible ornate Spanish motif cast plaster-work of the theater's auditorium. Then while the photos were being exposed, I had free rein to wander, in boots and hard-hat with flashlight in hand, the catacombs of the seemingly haunted cavernous space. Down the stairs leading from back stage cascaded a waterfall from the leaking pipes and the entire basement was several inches under water. Wading through those dark dank halls, my flashlight's beam bouncing all about, I found the old marquee letters, lighting fixtures, exit lights and miscellaneous paraphernalia from the sad dressing rooms. The strangeness of it all was thrilling. This was backstage like none that I could have imagined. In the wee hours of the morning, I would load my car, assist John with his equipment and drive home with another trove of treasure. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Night after night I would return to find new areas of collapse, and soon I got to know the demolition crew. Some members of that crew began to take a little extra care to remove panels of the ornate plaster more or less in tact. One night, a giant plaster finial was lowered from the auditorium ceiling into a waiting pickup. It was over six feet tall. Some took interest in my project and even removed a few special pieces for me to use, among them a giant shell, a medallion and heraldic shields. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">By the last night I visited the Music Hall, the auditorium was gone and only the lobby and the stairway to the projection room remained. I gathered a few last gems of the now fallen balcony's ceiling and made my retreat. By then I had gathered remnants from throughout the now ruined theater including fragments of the exterior stonework, concrete interior details, and pieces of the theater curtains. I had also built a papier maché replica of one of the galleons that had jutted from the auditorium wall, to which I added the fiddle head with tuning pegs and a couple of interpretations of figurative instruments of the world. I had also now completed the conception of the piece as a contemplation of conquest. With its baroque Spanish encrusting, the Music Hall gave me the perfect metaphor. The ruins became the sea upon which the galleon sailed, the marque letters a hurricane and the drapery placed it all on stage. This window was first a wake for the Music Hall. It was also as much about the wake of conquest as it was a wake for conquest.</span></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHdtsYywtjJMRJHOQjbBjN9DYm9jeRnUu3AQyVas1gTr3nNur00KjdzfyFb0H5VfjoqHqeX6HIZypBpgvt2y7e8ZSFjB1zTpLG-GqNwb058iUXqjIYctchE1b-lhI1kRSdXToQrnbsqUs/s1600/2.WOS.CW.shell.lt.w.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 259px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHdtsYywtjJMRJHOQjbBjN9DYm9jeRnUu3AQyVas1gTr3nNur00KjdzfyFb0H5VfjoqHqeX6HIZypBpgvt2y7e8ZSFjB1zTpLG-GqNwb058iUXqjIYctchE1b-lhI1kRSdXToQrnbsqUs/s400/2.WOS.CW.shell.lt.w.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565907689674157074" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">A view from the doorway shows the giant paster clamshell and in it two small plaster "Indian" heads that I found in the ruins.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTtqHven91YkqYs1rw-3etF_PBLfQN4sZY6zkQP2DokBRLlhdTxSciXYw4edOXoRnQM753jrp8oExbs53-vOV99RSozgqaERjEBDEbO1vFtQV5fvlYXC8BPpbQ7PZ1nrHvrWjIWhP5tY4/s1600/3.WoS.CW.letters.ext2.w.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 253px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTtqHven91YkqYs1rw-3etF_PBLfQN4sZY6zkQP2DokBRLlhdTxSciXYw4edOXoRnQM753jrp8oExbs53-vOV99RSozgqaERjEBDEbO1vFtQV5fvlYXC8BPpbQ7PZ1nrHvrWjIWhP5tY4/s400/3.WoS.CW.letters.ext2.w.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565907682225647122" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">An exterior view of the hurricane of letters</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinMyHIOESyYPlwdS8huFjDqOU5xqCFJopYXmXfV54WiBz_-96zrnseFWoTynH_RpYLMkKT4r5h84-jSQWhyhDzW8vn6hbXoFKGMLmotl9cWelPNMtdC6m14h6A-wqr3KqxRIN8AwL-D3c/s1600/4.WoS.CW.letters.int.w.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 274px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinMyHIOESyYPlwdS8huFjDqOU5xqCFJopYXmXfV54WiBz_-96zrnseFWoTynH_RpYLMkKT4r5h84-jSQWhyhDzW8vn6hbXoFKGMLmotl9cWelPNMtdC6m14h6A-wqr3KqxRIN8AwL-D3c/s400/4.WoS.CW.letters.int.w.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565907681443810898" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The hurricane of letters from the interior</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPqJ60qgpNBPiwfmrPQcWniDuSc3B5VTIt18R3atEVraZomGuKNwQoFNAohXliMMgV6fJCl8ChuICIGTsnAPGpSgXEHlf5e6AoHLhSVvkGnVt6Bb50ZQuHVg71OexgFIJ-t_dNQZYGIjU/s1600/5.WoS.CW.int.w.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 359px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPqJ60qgpNBPiwfmrPQcWniDuSc3B5VTIt18R3atEVraZomGuKNwQoFNAohXliMMgV6fJCl8ChuICIGTsnAPGpSgXEHlf5e6AoHLhSVvkGnVt6Bb50ZQuHVg71OexgFIJ-t_dNQZYGIjU/s400/5.WoS.CW.int.w.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565907672642737954" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Interior view of the installation</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">In the adjacent front window I created three lit boxes draped with black drapery from the theater.

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Eden II: A Garden for the Post-Natural World was conceived by artist Lorna Jordan, performance artist Susy Schneider and myself for Bumbershoot, Seattle's arts festival, in 1990. We brought in Michael Ehle to paint backdrops, and I worked with my long time friend and artist Mike Freeman. This theatrical installation depicted a post natural garden made from recycled cast offs, and was a stage set for Susy to create a character who would bring it all to life for Bumbershoot audiences. Lorna created a computerized mechanical 'container garden' and Mike and I cobbled together a vast array of derelict materials that had been left behind by the former resident of his newly acquired property. The installation had interactive features where audience members could activate lights, sound and motion in the junk yard plants.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Max proposed that artists create works to be installed on boats participating in "Opening Day" of Seattle's boating season, which happens in May. At the end of the evening each artist submitted an idea sketched on a cocktail napkin for which Max would seek funding. I quickly drew a Seattle skyline on a sailing boat and turned it in. It took another year for adequate funding to be found, during which time I developed the idea into an elaborate 18-color </span><a href="http://carlsmool.blogspot.com/search/label/Serigraph"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">serigraph</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> and poster for the Seattle Art Expo.

The Flag Plaza and Pavilion have since been replaced. For this installation I created 50 "Wind Puppets" from dyed nylon which I printed using paper stencils allowing quick manipulation and making each piece unique. The graphics were based on a previous exhibit of building forms, but here I made them figurative with crazy heads and male genitalia. For me they had become corporate high rise monsters... a whole flock of them.

In 1985 I did a series of 'speakeasies' I called Club Carl. I collaborated with two DJs, their friend with a professional sound system, a bartender and a door man. Admission was $2 and at the end of the night we split the till. The place was packed.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">It was around this time that I got a call from the someone at the Seattle Times' Pacific Northwest Magazine saying that they had heard that the space was very cool, and asking if they could do a piece on my studio and send a photographer over. I paused, looked around, and said that the person who told them must have been exaggerating and that I didn't think it was a good idea. What I didn't say was that it wasn't a good idea to advertise that I was living 'stylishly' in a space that was not zoned residential. I did however think it was a good idea to photograph the space, so I asked Mark Sullo, and now all these years later I can share his photos,</span></span></div>
