The Art Assignment is an educational video series hosted by curator Sarah Urist Green. We explore art and art history through the lens of things happening today.
My museum experiences have varied depending on who I was with or what museum I was going to. I have had both great and bad experiences at museums. Do - 1. Research before you go- What artists will be showcased? Is there something you're looking forward to most? 2. Eat and hydrate before going, this may seem like common sense but it makes a huge difference going on a full vs. empty stomach. 3. Go slow and try to connect to the art. If there's a specific piece that you keep thinking about, go back and view it again. Don'ts - 1. Don't be afraid to share your space - be conscious and respectful to others visiting the museum but don't feel like you need to move on to to the next piece because someone new arrives. 2. Don't go with people who will rush you. It's better to go alone than to be rushed through the exhibit.
Not sure you were explaining Minimalism,but rather just talking about it. What Minimalism is really about seems to be a well kept secret that few understand and because of that misunderstanding a lot of ideas and images get thrown into the caldron, stirred vigorously and presented as tasteful facts. Yum, good .
from what i can tell, there is not an artist in this particular discussion. it is said, “the insignificant one-the one who knows he is a peasant, a commoner-will judge the morals of the great-the artist, the philosopher, the king: for the commoner must feel powerful, and his power is to desecrate the legacy of the great.” or, in other words, “those not born to create, are destined to destroy the creations of those greater than themselves.” ie. people who have no mind, no soul, no individuality, no understanding, no depth, no uniqueness-people who will never create, who will be forgotten-these are the people to whom the great hand their legacy-and in their hands the great are tarnished by hypocrites and fools.
as a performance artist, i feel we get to much of a bad reputation for being the "weird artsy lot" but in most cases were just going against the grain me personally: my performances are about showing that tedious boredom is important societally, i perform by just sitting in a lawn chair reading a book, thats all, and the message im trying to get across is that society relies to heavily on gimmicks and hooks to draw attention, bright lights loud noises and fancy graphics are all we need to be interested, whereas all i do is be myself, tedious and boring, which is the reality we try to avoid, most of our lives are dull and uneventful which is why we admire fancy things, its an anti societal statement about technological development slowly eroding away what makes us individual
As an artist, im finding it difficult to separate the artist with their art, any art, music photography. Anytime I find out something horrible or whatever, about my favourite artists, i literally get cross and a bit overwhelmed. My art therapist is helping me through this. I never realized how difficult it is. That old saying "never meet your idols" i remember meeting a comic book artist i really liked and when talking with him he was really disgruntled and nasty. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Year later, maybe two years later, I went to talk with the same artist and he still was a nasty, pretentious f@!#!😅 Seriously. I stopped buying his books and never look at his art anymore. Same with music. I used to love led Zeppelin, then after finding out about jimmy page stealing music and being a pedo.. dating a groupie 13-14 years old..i was the hell with him and his band/music....like bloody hell man.. you can date any woman, why a teen.
Rauschnberg is my favourite artist. I have q few, basquiat another, but Robert raunchenberg is absolutely brilliant. As an artist/ illustrator i use some of his techniques in my drawings. Dave McKean Bill sienkiewicz, David mack all these artist ( comic book artist) inspired me to draw when i was younger (im 48) then i found raunchenberg when i went to art collage. Those comic book artist were all inspired by rauchenberg. His art just gives me the chills when i see it...smh he was uncanny.
What a fkng regrettable waste of time and bandwidth. At best this is an insulting superficial history fit for a "the more you know." I wouldn't try this as a follow up to "I'm just a bill on Capital Hill cartoon.
The artist painting people with faces straight and looking foward.Where are the angles or the subject looking in the distance? Reminds me of arrest photos,front view.His underlying message maybe he's caged or slaved to this style.Then again he is knowingly making him self famous for the pictures who stare.

Now if you presented the other side of the case so we could fairly judge it would be interesting. Like how she was a clout chaser, trying to chase Paul before he rejected her and she went on to date John. How she still keeps John's blood stained glasses as an art exhibit, and would likely have kept his corpse as well if she could wring any amount of money out of it. Without Johns publicity boost she might have been a footnote in a 1960s hippy art book, but when she finally succeeded in worming her way into the public conciousness most people saw her for the vile piece of shit that she is and will be remembered as.
Art is anything designed to elicit an emotional response. The color of a sports car is art. The design of a ceiling fan so it looks buyable is art. Clothing choices are art. Your tone of voice while giving a presentation is art. And all that other stuff is art too. These were often spiritual definitions, but to me the one with the most utility is the mechanical one.
I hope that one day the value of a painting is purely the amount of paint on the canvas, paint costs money so my use of a whole tube of paint should equal the tube of paint's price, it doesn't matter if the pigments mix or form something the brain recognises as a subject because it's just paint. By this logic the Mona Lisa would be worth a lot because of the amount of chemicals used to keep her intact not because of it's celebrity status. I find that funny.
Remember watching this a year or two ago. Then I was all in for this idea, but now I think this is easiest way to get arrested or involved in crime, where I live.
Videos like this never mention that Duchamp said his goal was to destroy art. Later in life he said he failed in his goal. The best that can be said of him is of the 20th century's most famous failed painters he was the least destructive.
It was because of Art Assignment that I even knew about this book at all. When I read it a decade ago as an undergraduate, I liked it a lot, and I thought about it a lot in the years since, and having just finished rereading it now, for the first time since that original pass, I think I appreciated it more than ever. I felt I had to come back to say thanks for introducing me to a book that’s had such a big influence on my life. So, thanks. Thank you both so much for giving Air Guitar to me. Here’s to my next reread in the 2030s 🎉
