Emerging Art Series: Kibbutz of Desire

James Rotz, a recent MFA graduate from the U-M School of Art and Design presents photographs, written excerpts and art books featuring Kibbutz of Desire – an expression that at first has no meaning but after the third time around it begins to take on meaning.

“Kibbutz; colony, settlement, taking root, the chosen place in which to raise the final tent, where you can walk out into the night and have your face washed up by time, and join up with the world, with the Great Madness, with the Grand Stupidity, lay yourself bare to the crystallization of desire, of the meeting.” – Julio Cortazar
