Thank you for mentioning Ana Mendieta and sharing Helen Molesworth's podcast. Would appreciate a video about Ana and her work if you're up to it :)

@christopherwestpresents 7 месяцев назад

Ana’s not forgotten! And I love this idea!

" If you like minimalist sculptures from artist who aren't accused of murder" Love that !

@christopherwestpresents 6 месяцев назад

Haha. Thank you!

Great work in such a short time! I had to search for Ana Mendieta; her work perhaps deserves a closer look too.

@christopherwestpresents 7 месяцев назад

It does indeed! If only she had lived longer.

Good work. I was taken by Carl André's work as a teenager. I thought it was a cool idea. But that was more than 40 years ago. I've moved on. I was unaware of the death of his wife. He was out of my mind by then. You did a great editing job. I see you use DaVinci Resolve. You use it much better than me.

@christopherwestpresents 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! And yes - DaVinci Resolve. You must recognize some transitions and titles. As I’m sure you know - editing is a labor of love, but I do enjoy it. Just hope to have your number of subscribers soon!

you have a nice setup and great voice for video essays! would love to see longer

@christopherwestpresents 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for the comment, and for watching! Hoping to do some longer format stories soon - but I’m still new at this and trying to get the basics covered first. It’s a journey!

Question: While Andre did not develop this idea or any particular artistic idea other than his initial one, at some level were the gallery shows in part notable because the artists were in fact the protesters whose artistic ideas did develop and mature in response to his exhibitions? Should instead a question be posed to the galleries "what ethics have you if you are willing to exploit the horror associated with this unremarkable one-note creator to increase your gallery's notoriety and foot traffic by your willingness to show his dull repetitive art?"

@christopherwestpresents 7 месяцев назад

Your point is a good one. I imagine, like so much else, it’s all about the $$$. He was an important figure in the history of Minimalism - but perhaps would’ve been better served as a footnote instead of a headline.

@sebber7992 7 месяцев назад

Calling Carl André a sculptor is a mockery to Rodin, Brancusi, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Moore, Hepworth and many other real artists.

@christopherwestpresents 7 месяцев назад

To each their own. Thank you for watching!

@badsign49 2 месяца назад

Yeah, An in-depth video on Ana & her work would be excellent. I think that it would be important to mention Andre's conceptual poetry in any 2ed edition of this video. This is a good start but maybe the trigger got pulled a bit too fast. The death of Ana is tragic. Can all the evidence be viewed by The People? I would like to make my own determination based on the facts available.

It does seem there has been a lot covered up.

@SuperPsychoSheep 7 месяцев назад

Impressive you made this all in one day! I saw his retrospective in Berlin, sort of indifferent to his work. Thank you for sharing the podcast though, will definitely check that out. Keep up the good work!

@christopherwestpresents 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! And definitely check out that podcast. She did a great job.

@Iabunawass 3 месяца назад

The podcast is what brought me here. Thanks so much for posting. Not a big fan of his work either.

Stupid accusations if a court of law found him not guilty. That is undermining due process and replacing it with displaced emotional bias

@christopherwestpresents 5 месяцев назад

Obviously the judicial system has never made a mistake.

@vin17flores72 5 месяцев назад

@@christopherwestpresents obviously ! but it seems if people take matters into their own hand, where exactly is the intention to smear someone on the basis of personal emotional doubt?

@vin17flores72 5 месяцев назад

Why wouldn't galleries show his work?

@christopherwestpresents 5 месяцев назад

They do.
