showed the progressive ocsilation between different art historians about
context, modern relevance, asthetics
diference between female perspecive in art and male
adjusting your work to fit into a gallery
each object has a artistic value, tools had craftsmen individual forms, signatures
many had tried to rank art throught history, by tecnical skill and its perceved beatuy based upon this. others stresses the importance of the mood, feelings social situation, and intent of the artist
meaning and whether the ideas are independant of the historians take upon the peice,
its like mushroom spore structures a ever expanding where the historians take a new meaning from the work and then future historians take a new take on the older historians take
Art historians reject the previous movements ideas on art and rehash a version of the old. it travels along a few years and then someone descides to try and push the historical practice back in the other direction.
The preformace was a woman in scholarly robes on stilts with binders stacked high. the entire lecture was in the format of a school like class. refrences to homework, a multichoise quiz on the back of the information booklet. the whole presentation was in rhyme. which was juxtaposed with the fast flurry of ideas and beliefs and heavy laden with artistic jargon, the whole preformance ran at a trepid pace it was like someone had sat had sat on the remote and it was was running at two times speed, a slideshow played in the background with the artworks reflective of the periods being disscussed
there almost was a symbolisim with the stilts with the historian teetering back and fowards, side to side, much like the retrospective views as the timeline traveled along.
The preformance happened in the Gus Fisher Gallery quite a interesting building the outside has no windows at the front facade a detailed brickstructure a large wall of orange. inside it was a intricate white entrance way wide open with a large stained glass window in the ceiling. the space the preformance happened in was a room full of Milan Mrkusich much to the squeamish excitement of Judit.
mostly consists of geometric shapes a and painted texture
of the ones that I found interesting was a red painting with a grey border it had little variations in the thickness of the red and the combonation of these made it appear to bulge out like a pin cushion.
There was one that looked like it was a reflection the left side had intricate brush strokes with semi random placement and a semi textured strong blue line down the right side, where the second canvas starts a almost reflection the blue line is thinner in width and has faded to a light blue the black has faded to almost grey. I likend it to a photgraph of a scene it only captures a fraction of the detail and beauty present in the original scene.
the last one was called blue square it had blue along the base orange triangle in the bottom right corner a blue sky and a blue square suspended at the top of the picture it didn't
feel like it would be able to stay suspended after the moment depicted in the paintingreminded me of a old 8bit game like mario.
