5/5 Presentations

Kate – I liked how you really incorporated this discussion of the location along with what artwork would result from knowing what the location might be like. I especially liked your comparison with the chapel/church in discussing how this theme transpired over to the Seagram murals. I think this should further be explained.

Yiwen – The whole time and attention captivating video art really caught my attention. I guess I never saw video this way – as a sort of challenge to my perception of art. I think it might not be such a bad idea to incorporate discussion about mainstream videos and how we’re okay seeing these – there’s no real sense of challenge or feeling weird although we are fully captivated by them, i.e. “most shocking videos”.

Anita – I would definitely include what Meredith brought into discussion at the end of class. If your take is that graffiti art is a way of reclaiming the urban space by literally taking over a space through art, then I would do a compare/contrast with what we’re shown in class.
