Holy Holy Holy – Jacci Hammer

My first Tremont installation piece/performance was held in the primitive traditional basement in the Brandt gallery.  I titled it “Holy, Holy, Holy.”   During the opening, an unusual noise was heard out in the street.  The guests rushed out of the gallery to find Greek Orthodox priests in parade and everyone was anointed with holy water.  What a coincidence or an anonymous miracle.  The freedom of unreigned conception was the natural in Tremont at that time.  There were uncanny thematic connections, I’ll never organize, I did not have to.  Actually, embracing the chaos and structure seemed to feed my ideology.  The interrelationships of the artist were stormy but passionate.  Even in the opposition there was acceptance as though the movement ad its own agenda and no one would dare interfere.  Because of that undefined boundary, the capita and surroundings evolved.  So be Tremont.  Perhaps the creative founders would have chosen a different state if they had any control but frictional creative output has a mind and energy pull of its own.
