Presentation 5.3

1.Rothko's paintings are very interesting, with all the vertical lines and color. He felt that Four Season wouldn't value his site specific pieces enough, why did he choose to hung up his art works there at the very first place? Just so he could “torture” the customers of Four Season restaurant? Personal, I think Rothko's paintings worked pretty well with the restaurant environment. Maybe you can talk about the different response when the same art work is displayed in the the restaurant and in the library.
2.The ability of attracting audiences' attention is a good concept. You might want to explain it more. Why are we being attracted to it, while other mediums don't have the equal power to do so? I don't really understand what you are trying to get out of the “Attention” about time. Are you suggesting that in such piece, three dimensions of time coexisted, and only video has the ability to do so? What is the relationship between video and psychological? Video materializes the objects/ people?
3.Street Art and Graffiti. The connection between Vandalism and graffiti's art works is interesting. What is the original motivation beyond the graffiti art? I personally do not like graffiti art, what is the primary goal the artists are trying to achieve? What are the effects graffiti art has that other art forms don't have?
