Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.

The video I directed for Seven Saturdays’ “One in 3” just premiered on MTV.com!!
I consider this video to be one of the best things I’ve done yet and I’m extremely proud of not only the video but the amazing crew that helped make this happen: Mary Taylor, Zoe-Ruth Erwin, Daniel Cox, Andrea Margaret, Casey Cooney, Henry Fayson Jr„ Kota Kitty Wade and the man himself, Jonathan D Haskell.
So go check it out, be sure to “Like” it on MTV’s site (this is important for Jonathan and I) and let me know what you think of my first real foray into the world of indie music!
This is tonight! Come out and celebrate my birthday with me and check out the premiere of what I consider to be the best work of my career!
As the elites lazily drift from one free opportunity to the next, you’re being given the gift of hardship. You’ll have to be harder than them. You’ll have to be smarter than them. You’ll have to be faster than them. Make yourself be these things. Use the gift of the shadow you’ve been placed in to forge new and striking ways of thinking, doing, and being.

Had the wonderful opportunity of working with my buddy Derek Mears (he of Friday the 13th and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters) this past week on some new portraits.
Derek is one of the nicest guys I know and one hell of a badass actor.
Coming, May 17.
This might very well be the best work of my directorial career to date. I can’t wait for everyone to see it in 3 weeks!
UnderHaüs is in the process of creating a talent database.
If you have any interest in appearing in any of our future video or film projects, send me your name, Facebook profile, headshot (or clear shot of your face), any special skills/talents, unique wardrobe you own (or have access to) and anything you think might make for a good reason to cast you.
Send to chadmichaelward@gmail.com and I’ll get you into our database.
Please note: You MUST live in Southern California, as most of our productions take place here.
