In Conclusion

When Maya first started working on my new website, she asked me what my goal was—what it was that I wanted to accomplish?

I told her I was looking for response. I want to achieve conversation.

I have spent my entire adult life doing shows and mostly projects which were, in one way or another, about my early life experiences and what I think they mean for the people of this place and time.

With extremely rare exceptions, no one has ever responded.

Back when I first launched my website, when I was adding new stuff monthly and was still active in NYC, I’d get hundreds of visitors every day who would click through all kinds of stuff, but no one ever said anything to me personally.

You’d think I’d be discouraged, but no.

At the age of 70, I now present to you images from the four bodies of work mentioned in the first binder of My Most Recent Proposal for Cincinnati Project, which ultimately extended over seven projects and four-and-a-half years.

At very least, sooner or later, you’d think that somebody would start wondering what the phenomena of Tim Folzenlogen is all about?

Why do I keep doing this stuff?

There is no financial angle. It doesn’t help with sales.

There is no answer other than the fact that something extraordinary happened to me as a small child, and it never left.

I was living in Manhattan when the towers came down.

Back then I'd describe my experience as being like a billion World Trade Centers blowing up inside of me all at once, and it would happen in an instant.

I'm fond of saying that all expression is self-portraiture. The way we talk, the way we walk—it’s all a perfect expression of who we exactly are.

It’s like it can’t not be.

I now present you with these four bodies of work.

I remember being blown away when I first wrote / drew My Proposal. Blown away knowing that I had these four bodies of work available to work with.

No one in the history of art has ever written such a visionary proposal to an entire city, and backed it up with this quality of work.

It’s who I am.

And I’m non-stop.

The reason I record everything as I go is because this is big time history, art and otherwise.

I think Cincinnati is ground zero for a world-changing event.

From that first moment on, I absolutely knew that what I was experiencing had the potential to change the world, and that it could happen in an instant.

As I write this, Putin has just invaded Ukraine.

It's a scary world out there.

What would you do if you were me?

You tell me.
