"We don't what we're going to do... we don't know why we're going to do it... and we don't know what the results are going to be..." Peter Eisenman states that making people feel anxious by not providing a sense of security might get them to turn inward to find it. Ahem.... Now THAT is genuine pomposity, apparently rooted in an intellectual arrogance. The provocation may not be well received by most people. Except for those who love the disorientation of a carnival fun house. // The ultimate question: who is the client who will pay for the artistic experiment?
Wow! I rented it from Amazon and it is well worth it! Very sophisticated film. Thanks I really needed that! And I will definitely watch it a few more times.
Watching this documentary in undergrad (Kansas City Art Institute, '99-'03) was a foundational experience for me and helped me understand the different art world discourses I was to enter upon my graduation. LOVE IT!
U-fan Lee's works have equal value as forgeries and originals. Gallery Hyundai, Korea's largest gallery, sold a large number of forgeries. In addition, at least several hundred forgeries were sold on the market through various Korean galleries. When it was exposed by a South Korean court in 2016 and 2021, the artist seemed embarrassed, but within days acknowledged all the forgeries as genuine. Collectors in Korea purchased items based on the authenticity certificate, but the certificates were also fake. However, ufan lee recognized even those works as genuine. Korean collectors are afraid that the value of the works they own will drop, so they tolerate collusion between artists and counterfeiters. Now it's okay to counterfeit Ufan's work anywhere in the world. Anyway, Ufan has no choice but to acknowledge them all as original works.
Love Motherwell's work, its sensitivity to nuance, and its playfulness. As for his rhetorical commentary laying down the signposts or referencing markers of modernist cultural grandiosity, and his connectedness therewith ...not so much. He is an obviously sincere and well-meaning artist; as a consequence, I find this sort of narrative posturing, in service of positioning one's own importance, surprising and unnecessary.
I’d heard of him from Tom Snyder and the actor, George Segal, Jr. The actor used to pass by this man’s studio/shop before he became famous! Cool to see this!
I´m amazed how versatile Phil Guston was: when a young artist, he was a social realist and David Alfaro Siqueiros, mexican muralist master, praised him as one of leading new generation american painters in late 30's, and brought him to paint a large fresco in Morelia, Michoacán (México) that remains popular today: curiously enough, in this wall painting it is very conspicuous a KKK figure...that would appear again so many times in his art 30 years later in such different fashion!
@@edmurphy6412 As I understood it, postmodern dance involves the exploration of all the body's movement possibilities, beyond the codes of "classical" dance. In this sense I find that it CAN be meaningful. And as a musician, Philip Glass's music seems very simplistic and mechanical (not complex) and with nothing new to say, to me. If you want to hear true "minimalist" music, you can listen to the Banda Linda centrafrican horn music. It could be very surprising.
I would recommend that you look at the scores here on RU-vid. Try Music in 12 Parts. You will see quickly how complicated the rhythmic ideas are. I find this aspect of his early music very fascinating, and you can examine it more closely with the scores.
@@yvesklein5414 I'm used to consider music by listening to it, not by reading scores. I have just listened to "Music in 12 parts - part 1" here on YT, and I find it mechanical, like all of Glass's music: 19'33" of repetition of the same pattern, to the limit of unbearableness. I used to be a fan of Robert Fripp's, listen to the "Let the Power Fall" LP, Frippertronics will always be less repetitive than Glass! Or listen to Banda Linda central african horn music, minimalism ante litteram.
I was slightly startled to see Steven Holl as a young man. But upon further investigation I found out this video is from 1993. Good architecture is the timeless conveyer of our cultural evolution and its development is in the work of highly talented and intelligent architects.
