The links to purchase TOUCHED, This Is WAs-TV and A Measured Strip of Signs are under some of the photos here or you may click the THE STORE link above. In THE STORE, you will also find two brand new conceptual pieces: the remarkable Invisible Bird with Cage: Tango, Tango, One, and RE-ENCHANTMENT Penny. My first poetry collection A Hollow Earth also resides there.
Box Notes for TOUCHED: “Foucault meets Derrida meets Wittgenstein meets Lacan meets Baudrillard meets Lyotard meets Tristen Tzara in this film that addresses the postmodern condition with stark images and on startling terms. Chopson strings together a series of vignettes that forces the viewer to reconsider his or her position toward “the other” in society. Concurrently, the genesis of the artistic impulse is revealed. The recurrent whispering voices makes the point clear. TOUCHED touches.”
Box Notes for This Is WAs-TV: “In This Is WAs-TV, Kevin Marshall Chopson literally and metaphorically takes the viewer hostage on his journeys from the city of Utrecht, in The Netherlands, to Constanta, Romania, to Nashville, Tennessee, and beyond. This is a trip like none other. Attempting to reach-out and connect with friends on social media, this self-described teacher, poet, guide, artist, and shaman is simply a man talking to the camera about his personal observations and pressing issues of contemporary life. Along the way, from garret to garret to home “studio,” he reflects on the big ideas throughout history, attempts to “crush time,” shares literary and philosophical texts, and — oddly enough — reminds us what it means to be human. Startlingly transparent, intelligent, and vulnerable, this stranger is trying to make a difference. Watching this, as long and as taxing as it can be at times, transforms the viewer into a kinder, gentler, and more aware version of his or herself. Chopson says he is a monster bearing gifts. He may be right.”

This Is WAs-TV was Chopson’s first film, released in 2018. For a somewhat detailed description of this extraordinarily self-aware, Dada-esque, postmodern adventure, visit THINGS. Purchase price includes the DVD, a digital access link, the WAs pin-back lapel button, and postcard. The price also includes shipping and handling. An individual, hand-inked version of Chopson’s “Strip of Signs” will appear on the mailed envelope. Shipped by USPS via “media mail,” your very special package should arrive within ten days in the U.S. (within a month in other parts of the world).
A Measured Strip of Signs. Ink, paint, lacquer, on paper and wood (a cut-up yard stick to be specific). Measuring one inch by eight inches, A Measured Strip of Signs is designed to be a table-top piece or to hang on a wall amidst greater works of art (via a popular, chewable adhesive). The “traditional” symbols for man, woman, birth, death, and infinity are followed by five other symbols of equal or greater significance. A Measured Strip of Signs is a puzzle, a commentary— rendered in a postmodern “crude” fashion — that reminds the viewer that discussions regarding semiotics, on a number of different levels, are important. Price includes shipping and handling AND a “stick” of adhesive. An undetermined number of these will be created … all with their individual flaws, all titled and all signed in ink by Chopson on the back. Each piece is perfect in its imperfection as is all language.
