Paradise Homes, [panoptic urban shield paintings]
Work ID: 74877
Description: Paradise Homes
My new shield paintings 2009-10 are part of a Panoptic landscape series. They are based on surveillance technology used by Google Earth to reveal giant new fingerprint shapes on the earth. They are suburban developments centred on a community with the Church, or a Synagogue, Mosque, Hindu Temple or Buddhist Shrine. They are instant designs that go from concept to completion in 3 or 4 years. Freeways provide access to infrastructures such as a Shopping Mall, Cineplex and Golf Course designed by the same architectural firms. The new towns are carved into the land with bulldozers. They occupy waste industrial sites, fertile farmland or high ridges with views of the ravine below. When complete they are enclosed with walls for security purposes, and the streets inside end in quiet looping cul-de-sacs. Entrances have grand gates announcing the exclusive nature of the development, such as Paradise Homes, or Fragrant Hills.
The source of my landscapes is inspired by the city of Vaughan, north of Toronto beside Canada's Wonderland, as seen on Google Earth. Vaughan according to Jane Jacobs, expert on urbanism, is one of Canada's fast growing and prosperous communities. I have also followed the city planning of Moshe Safdie who designed Habitat for the 1967 Montreal World's Fair. In 1989 he designed one of Israel's largest cities Modi'in planned for 250 thousand people; by 2007 it had reached 75 thousand.
In order to create a deep surface of the paintings they are built up on spherical bamboo structures, covered by canvas and gesso and embellished by various materials such as beeswax, brass fixtures and gold paint. The shield like appearance suggests a promise of security.

The Middle East Peace Rail Road, MEPR
Work ID: 74879
Description: Middle East Map Project 2010-11:
A Working Plan B for Israel/ Palestine
In 2005 the Rand Corporation proposed integrating a future Palestine state with a high speed rail and highway system that would connect the West Bank and Gaza. This was inspiration for Working Plan B, a work of the imagination based on current facts on the ground. It requires a land swap between Israelis and Palestinians, which was envisioned by President Jimmy Carter and Ariel Sharon in 2001.
Working Plan B is an artist's version of The Middle East centered along the line of the Jordan River Valley and defined by three parallel rail lines, Red/Blue/Orange connecting Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. The rail routes look like 'The Metro' in London, Paris, New York, Montreal, Hong Kong, or Tehran. The lines pass through eight districts of civil authority, allowing for certain amount of independence, security, democracy and free passage. It connects the Mediterranean Sea and the neighboring countries to the North East and South.
In a foreseeable future the security walls and settlement blocks are to remain in place in exchange for a land swap for returning Palestinian refugees. A strategy of agonism is useful because it does not count on understanding of others' social values but works with the idea that differences can continue if there is respect for others' rights.
The paralleled districts allow for a symbiotic stability of mutual benefit. There is enough international interest in having peace in the area that sponsors for developing the rail system would be willing to contribute to its different parts. Two thirds of the rail is currently operative in Israel and Jordan and the rest could be set up on decommissioned rail beds, with new tunnels and transit points.
Land swaps would open up a Palestine port in Mediterranean at Acre in the North and another in the South at Ashquelon in exchange for the large settlement blocks surrounding Jerusalem. The special district of Jerusalem/Bethlehem could be a UN security neutral zone for the three religions of Abraham. The history of the old city has its beginnings as a fortified village and has passed through conquest and occupations for three thousand years. It is a complicated archeological site of populations slaughtered or sold into slavery, later replaced by new waves of immigration. Its feuds and spirituality require special conditions from other territories, allowing for hardliners, secular and social idealists.
As an artist I have attempted to think outside the box because the conflict has not seen a solution in sixty years and seems to be deadlocked. Any map is considered premature and even taboo by both sides. My artistic daughter who is a standup comedian who majored in Political Science says my Plan B Map looks like a golf course with water hazards and sand traps.

Description: Middle East Map Project 2010-11:
A Working Plan B for Israel/ Palestine
In 2005 the Rand Corporation proposed integrating a future Palestine state with a high speed rail and highway system that would connect the West Bank and Gaza. This was inspiration for Working Plan B, a work of the imagination based on current facts on the ground. It requires a land swap between Israelis and Palestinians, which was envisioned by President Jimmy Carter and Ariel Sharon in 2001.
Working Plan B is an artist's version of The Middle East centered along the line of the Jordan River Valley and defined by three parallel rail lines, Red/Blue/Orange connecting Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. The rail routes look like 'The Metro' in London, Paris, New York, Montreal, Hong Kong, or Tehran. The lines pass through eight districts of civil authority, allowing for certain amount of independence, security, democracy and free passage. It connects the Mediterranean Sea and the neighboring countries to the North East and South.
In a foreseeable future the security walls and settlement blocks are to remain in place in exchange for a land swap for returning Palestinian refugees. A strategy of agonism is useful because it does not count on understanding of others' social values but works with the idea that differences can continue if there is respect for others' rights.
The paralleled districts allow for a symbiotic stability of mutual benefit. There is enough international interest in having peace in the area that sponsors for developing the rail system would be willing to contribute to its different parts. Two thirds of the rail is currently operative in Israel and Jordan and the rest could be set up on decommissioned rail beds, with new tunnels and transit points.
Land swaps would open up a Palestine port in Mediterranean at Acre in the North and another in the South at Ashquelon in exchange for the large settlement blocks surrounding Jerusalem. The special district of Jerusalem/Bethlehem could be a UN security neutral zone for the three religions of Abraham. The history of the old city has its beginnings as a fortified village and has passed through conquest and occupations for three thousand years. It is a complicated archeological site of populations slaughtered or sold into slavery, later replaced by new waves of immigration. Its feuds and spirituality require special conditions from other territories, allowing for hardliners, secular and social idealists.
As an artist I have attempted to think outside the box because the conflict has not seen a solution in sixty years and seems to be deadlocked. Any map is considered premature and even taboo by both sides. My artistic daughter who is a standup comedian who majored in Political Science says my Plan B Map looks like a golf course with water hazards and sand traps.
