Week Nine
The readings this week showed me just how controversial art can be. The viewer, artist, and funder/purchaser can all have different opinions and viewpoints on a piece. Serra’s piece, Tilted Arc (shown above) was interpreted by the public as aggressive and as a ‘graffiti catcher.’ Some people disliked it and others didn’t mind its presence or enjoyed its presence. Two petitions were gathered with 1,300 signatures to have the sculpture torn down. Tilted Arc was meant to be permanent and never be removed; it was not made to be moved somewhere else. Serra disliked when the installation was taken down.
Installation art is found everywhere, and at times seem to not have a meaning. Viewers have to search and figure out what the art means to them. Many installation arts are passed by every day, and not many stop to enjoy them because they have become part of our environment. Installation arts are found everywhere, including in museums, galleries, parks, city streets, and many more.
The video on featured artist this week, Do Ho Suh, was very interesting to view. Do Ho Suh is a Korean Artist who moved in 1991 from South Korea to the United States. His works are influenced by both Western and Eastern cultures. At first Suh focused mainly on houses. The most interesting thing from the video is how his artwork resembles his life back in Korea. The sculptures with people holding up more people or another object was interesting because of how he explained it. He had them in a stance like they were holding the world above their heads, while standing right next to each other (photo above). Do Ho Suh explained this choice for the sculpture saying that the stance is to help balance and support the weight of the rest of the sculpture. He also explained that the figures are side by side because in Korea the streets are so crowded you can barely move and sometimes people even fall.
One artwork by Do Ho Suh that I find interesting is the moveable house like structures (above) he creates to help his homesickness. These structures do not have any specific names and can be folded and transported in a suitcase wherever Suh goes. I think they are a neat idea and some of them are very detailed. I also believe that Suh is trying to convey the message that the world is not on just one person’s shoulders, nothing is on just one person’s shoulders, many people share different tasks and we as a whole support the world, our decisions and actions affect the world together.
The relevant artist I decided to touch upon this week is Karla Black. She is a Scottish artist, and her works are mainly focused on large-scale, site specific works. She uses many materials including traditional art materials and everyday items. Looking at Black’s works, you almost never feel sad or dreary because she uses bright colors.
Attached above is Black’s work Involucri Trasparenti. I love the color and sparkle of this installation. It is made of a plastic sheet or shower curtain of some sort. I believe this work shows that not everything is what you at first assume. When I first looked at this work, I thought it was a sculpture; I then looked closer and realized that it is a sheet of plastic covered with paint and glitter.
Both Do Ho Suh and Karla Black create installations comparable to those featured in the reading. Blacks works are meant, in most, but not all, cases, to be permanent. Both create different installations of common everyday objects. Do Ho Suh’s works are in most cases not meant to be permanent, however there are a few exceptions. Both artists’ works cannot be put in a specific category indefinitely, meaning that they are installations.

I also adored Do Ho Suh’s movable house. It is one of the most unique pieces - in my opinion - that we have seen this year, not only because of the rare Korean fabric used in creating the house, but the very thought of creating a movable home in order to combat the insecurities of home sickness at leas in his case. Making his piece movable was a great action because now he can take it wherever he pleases and it allows him comfort.
Week 15 - Sound
Before reading this week’s material I thought sound was pretty straightforward but after the first paragraph of An Introduction to Sound Art I was blown away! It never really hit me what a unique thing sound is. I mean, it is something we cannot see and it couldn’t be saved for the longest time but it is around us all the time. My favorite composition in this article was John Cage’s 4’33”. In this piece there were three movements but the performer was silent for all four minutes and 33 seconds of each movement. The sounds of the audience members filled the auditorium, they becoming the performers. I think the meaning of this piece was to show how different things are in silence and show that silence isn’t a bad thing. Cage was probably trying to get audience members to connect more to themselves in all the silence.
One Square Inch of Silence was very interesting to learn about. After reading the snippet about the project I watched a video (below) that told more about the project. It shocked me that there are less than a dozen “quiet places” in the lower 48 remaining. I may be wrong, but I feel as if there are still others that have not been recorded yet, although that number has probably gone down from the time the video was published in 2010. The article/video made me start thinking about the last time I had been in what I consider silence and nothing came to me. Even when my family hiked at Effigy Mounds, a national park in Iowa that I consider to be very natural and quiet, I recalled that there were still sounds of the closeby highway. As I went to visit my cousins over Thanksgiving break I found myself listening to see if there was silence, but there usually wasn’t. It is important to preserve these silent places, but also very challenging. How can humans try to prevent cities from growing around nature reserves and planes from flying over them? It is a challenging question that we currently don’t have an answer to. I think the meaning of this project is to bring awareness to noise pollution along with all kinds of pollution and to inspire people to be a little kinder to the environment.
The two pieces by Tim Hawkinson in this week’s video both piqued my interest. Both pieces were very abstract, but also unique and unlike anything I had ever seen before. Of the two I have to say Drip was my favorite. I love the sound of rain! Due to my poor mechanical skills, I didn’t really understand the mechanics behind the dripping. The way that Hawkinson rolled up the plastic was a very simple but creative idea. To me, the plastic looks like it has been wrung out and has been left to finish drip-drying. I think that was Tim’s plan when making this piece. The buckets seem to be preserving water and helping to save the environment (the One Square Inch of Silence got me thinking about conservation). The dripping sounds make me think if one small droplet can make that much of an impact (noise), then how is my usage of a lot more water affecting others that don’t have water and the environment? Although not the author’s intention, Drip really did make me think about conserving our water.
Haroon Mirza’s installation art has recently become famous from his unique usage of interplay and friction between sound and light waves and electric currents. One of my favorite pieces of Mirza’s was The National Apavillion of Then and Now. In this installation viewers go into an “echoless” chamber that has a circle of light that gets brighter when a droning noise in the installation gets louder. When the droning noise goes away viewers are left in complete darkness. I think the meaning of this piece is to show how talking and making noise can change something while staying silent can make things worse.
Bailey, I did not think of One Square Inch of Silence in the way you did. Instead, I thought of it as a self-discovery piece as well as a conservation piece. From a scientific standpoint, it is a conservation piece. From an artistic standpoint, I believe it is meant to not only bring awareness to noise pollution, but to make us slowdown from our busy life-styles and rediscover who we are and what we stand for. Noise pollution, I believe will be a hard thing to stop and will only do so if we too slow down.
I agree with you. Sound is something that seems very straight forward, but we forget that sound is in every second of our lives with technology today. Thinking about it, we even have sound in our dreams right?! Or we are so accustomed to sound that our brain can formulate it’s own imaginary sounds in the midst of our subconsciousness. I feel that it is amazing to bring sound into art because it brings awareness to a part of everyone’s life who has been blessed with the ability to hear because we can take it for granted.
Blogpost Week 15
This week, learning about sound art was quite intriguing. It is very interesting - for me - to think about what people think sound could look like as a visible medium. Given the fact that scientists have predicted sound formulas, formations, and frequencies, sound waves remain invisible to the human eye.
