Rachel Koolen is having an exhibition titled "Swallow A Bird" from April 24th to May 24th. The document discusses Koolen's artistic practice of releasing tension from objects by dismantling and repurposing them in her works. This includes taking apart a leather stool and using the materials, as well as incorporating a gifted kimono into a wall installation. Koolen is driven by a compulsive force to serve the needs of her materials and viewers by transforming familiar objects into new forms and meanings.

The first time I read the ad, I choked and cursed and spat and threw the paper to the floor. Since
even this didn’t seem to be quite enough, I snatched it up, marched into the kitchen, and shoved it
into the trash. While I was there, I made myself a little breakfast and gave myself some time to cool
down. I ate and thought about something else entirely. That’s right.
Then I dug the paper out of the trash and turned back to the Personals section, just to see if the
damn thing was still there and just the way I remembered it. It was.
TEACHER seeks pupil. Must have an earnest desire
to save the world. Apply in person.
An earnest desire to save the world! Oh, I liked that. That was rich indeed. An earnest desire to save
the world—yes, that was splendid. By noon, two hundred mooncalfs, softheads, boobies,
ninnyhammers, noodleheads, gawkies, and assorted oafs and thickwits would doubtless be lined up
at the address given, ready to turn over all their worldlies for the rare privilege of sitting at the feet
of some guru pregnant with the news that all will be well if everyone will just turn around and give
his neighbor a big hug. You will wonder: Why is this man so indignant? So bitter? It’s a fair
question. In fact, it’s a question I was asking myself.
The answer goes back to a time, a couple decades ago, when I’d had the silly notion that the thing I
most wanted to do in the world was . . . to find a teacher. That’s right. I imagined I wanted a
teacher—needed a teacher. To show me how one goes about doing something that might be called .
. . saving the world.
Stupid, no? Childish. Naïve. Simple. Callow. Or just fundamentally dumb. In one so manifestly
normal in other respects, it needs explaining.
It came about in this way.
During the children’s revolt of the sixties and seventies, I was just old enough to understand what
these kids had in mind—they meant to turn the world upside down—and just young enough to
believe they might actually succeed. It’s true. Every morning when I opened my eyes, I expected to
see that the new era had begun, that the sky was a brighter blue and the grass a brighter green. I
expected to hear laughter in the air and to see people dancing in the streets, and not just kids—
everyone! I won’t apologize for my naïveté; you only have to listen to the songs to know that I
wasn’t alone.
Then one day when I was in my mid–teens I woke up and realized that the new era was never going
to begin. The revolt hadn’t been put down, it had just dwindled away into a fashion statement. Can I
have been the only person in the world who was disillusioned by this? Bewildered by this? It
seemed so. Everyone else seemed to be able to pass it off with a cynical grin that said, “Well, what
did you really expect? There’s never been any more than this and never will be any more than this.
Nobody’s out to save the world, b.

“YES!” I replied.
Anthony went on to tell me that in his own journey...
He discovered how to trigger an energy “switch” that was much faster and simpler than the ancient chakra teachings.
He told me about how he came across an ancient Tibetan prophecy called “The Tiger Prophecy.”
This energy is what empowers us to live our best lives.

Acceptance of the Hormone:
A reflection on the tension relieving process and practice of Rachel Koolen
There it was, spread out, strung and hung high as if now a proud banner for the dialectically
opposed. I wasn’t actually there to see the exhibition, but I heard about it, saw pictures, and I
saw something that used to be mine, all cut up like black and white ceramic pieces, ready to be
laid as bathroom floor tile. She fuckin used my leather cushion and she took the whole damn
harlequin thing apart without even asking. Granted, it was left there after moving, so I can’t
really still claim it as mine, I just thought that it would’ve (obviously) continued its existence as a
soft, leather cushion stool, both visually & physically pleasing. The worst is that I can envision
her now, tearing into it, ripping it at the seams with hair in her eyes; quality lambs wool pellet
cushion filling fuckin flying everywhere. Lacerating it as if some green Hulk hero hormone was
overtaking her. Sturdy sinuous waxed thread would be no match for her steroid strength, no
matter how artisanally well made. I don’t even know what she ended up titling it.

We believe that any given process originates in an unpleasant state of tension and thereupon
determines for itself such a path that its ultimate outcome coincides with a relaxation of this
tension, that is, avoidance of unpleasure or a production of pleasure.1 That’s what Freud said
regarding process and mental events towards pleasure. So what if ‘any given process’ was
extended to any given object: That any given object finding itself in an unpleasant state of final
tension is thereupon relaxed of this tension, relieved of its purpose, even if relieving means a
stricter condemnation of interpretation, inciting a purer meaning of an object or material’s
inherent properties. What if the role of the tension reliever is fulfilled by the artist?
2. And such is observed this driving undercurrent in the practice of Rachel Koolen: Releasing
original tension and re-binding that release, while definitely producing self-pleasure in the
process. After all, aren’t pinnacle isosceles triangles, whether in leather or plastic, a celebratory
symbol? Better meant to be proudly hung as a pennant banner rather than to be sat upon and
hence visually ignored?
She has a keen attraction for fabric patterns and textures, so when I was in Japan a year ago, I
met with a tailor to select the right colors and print for a kimono to be specially made for her. I
never saw her wear it; perhaps it was too exotic, erotic or intimate. Then one weekend, helping
her out in the studio, there it was, wrapped, stretched, bound and hanging limp, framed within a
wooden structure. She told me it would best fulfill its meaning as a participating element for her
next work entitled, Wall Carpet Piece.
M. january 2014
Perhaps Koolen, under the influence of some driving force, saw the black and white triangles
under tension needing to escape from the leather stool, and she released them to an anterior
state of unassembled shapes.2 Or that upon considering the kimono, and all that it represents
for us westerners, that it had to exist as an element of presentation and constriction, hence its
destiny not being that of private display, but rather exposed and seen, bound up for the public,
as we’ve always secretly dreamed to see. In Going Public, Boris Groys mentions a particular
force, one of uncontrollable urge when referring to the artist as a human embodiment of a
natural force. Maybe that force finds its existence outside and independent of anyone: A force
that possesses and propels the artist to become a serving servant to the master.3 A servant
artist whose driving task and will is to succumb to, not rule over, the materials before him or
her; the master being the future subject in front of the artist, ready to be made.
This season, fringe, and the color red are totally in. We wanted to do something completely new
so we asked if she would work with us. She said she liked us, saw some future form potential
and could understand why we were tired of the flat and oven-wrapped. We said to her, ‘Give us
blepharoplasty4 and hot style Kim Jong-Un’s shifted mullet.’ She just sat there and stared at us
intently, eyes squinted. Suddenly, she uttered, ‘whatever’, then flicked her cigarette and grabbed
us. Her sweaty hands roughly fingered our stiff bodies. She was mumbling to herself, hastily
grabbing and throwing tools. It all happened so fast. Though a bit more painful than we thought
it would be, and only one of us got a flattop mullet, the reconstruction was totally worth it.

3. Sitting like islands, the anecdotes are among several other islets, recounting yet another
instance whereby an object, material or gift has undergone some serious plastic surgery by the
sometimes doctor imposter Rachel Koolen. But perhaps it is more apt to say that serious
wreckage is executed upon that which needs release, followed by reconstructive surgery. Based
on the anecdotes, one might too easily jump to the conclusion of a Koolen bent affinity towards
destruction, which is only a half-truth, or even half of the truth. There is definitely destruction
and urge, but there is also a hormone: An internal, compulsive other force driving her, to serve
and assist the subject in its demands. And it is a reforming pleasure to see anterior meaning of
material and code liberated when tension is released.
She lived across from me and I would often see her staring at me from behind her grimy window
each time I beat the floor carpets out on the balcony. I always smiled and waved at her, and in
her own way of waving back, her hand would make nervous movements, as if hesitating to
acknowledge me. These awkward encounters went on for about three years. One day, I bought a
new carpet beater at the market and put the old one out with the garbage, as people often do.
Not too long after, while out on the rear balcony I saw her again, but she didn’t see me, at least I
don’t think she did. She was taking photos of herself and she had in her hand what looked like
the carpet beater I had put out. With object in hand she played with it in an odd manner. In one
moment she posed with the beater as a mask, placed in front of her face, like that of a knight.
But then I felt uncomfortable watching her as she did other more peculiar acts with it, like
spanking herself, so I pretended to be inspecting my plants. I wondered if she intended the
spanking as cleaning, like beating the dirt out of her. And reed carpet beaters aren’t exactly soft,
I mean sometimes I use mine on the derrières of my children. It’s still so weird for me, I mean
now I know she wasn’t so interested in befriending me, it was the beater that she was so intent
on. But I can’t stop questioning if she intended that I should see her, or even should watch her,
as she used to watch me.

Freud further explores in Beyond the Pleasure Principle, ‘the compulsion of destiny’ and the urge in organic life
to restore an earlier state of things, p.308. This was a precursor to his research and later writings on the death drive
