To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Project #5: The Artist is Present.

I decided to choose the verb painting. I have always had a love for painting. I decided to paint on a piece of wood using acrylic paints. I had fun making this video. I have never recorded myself painting something before, and I really loved watching the process of me doing it. I decided to time-lapse it so that it was not a 30 minute video. I like the time-lapse better because it looks cool as the painting comes together.

LOVE that you added the time-lapse!! ... and that you added music & typography to this video. So cool! and it reminds me of those videos you see when someone is either doing something creative with screen printing, or pancake batter -- we know it takes time, but the artist makes it look so much easier than it is.  Good job!

Artist Statement: Project 5

As soon as I was aware of what this assignment would entail, I knew immediately what I had in mind but wasn’t certain how the final project would come out as sometimes things in my mind turn out much differently than The vision.  Admittedly, though, I had a clearer idea about this project after watching “The Artist is Present,” which spoke to me on multiple levels.  This is clearly a task that cannot be done without assistance, so I enlisted the help of my son to film for me.  He enjoyed helping me so much on the first project, I suggested we go ahead and try another one of my ideas and I would let him film that for me as well.  As a parent, it is important to share and involve while exposing your child to all aspects of who you are as a person, an adult, and as their role model; still making it fun at the same time.

Module 5: Performance Art (Response)

Performance: A Hidden History – RoseLee Goldberg Although RoseLee Goldberg’s essay seems to suggest talking points on how to resolve difficulties in performance art as to reaching a broader audience, what I think she accomplished with this essay was to educate the reader with regard the different aspects of performance art through the detailed  examples of works by Futurists, Constructivists, Dadaists, and Surrealists and by showing over the course of history how they went about displaying their art to masses and by stating that performance is an expression of artists who wish to challenge their audience, and that a big part of what makes performance (via painters, poets, dancers, magicians, etc.) “art” has to do with the audience-performer relationship.

Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present I enjoyed this film and note that she reiterated the Goldberg’s sentiment that the [her] audience is part of [her] art and she did this with her exhibit “The Artist Is Present.”  This spoke to me on many levels. The first of which is to show how the audience is very much a part of performance art.  The next concerns me on a spiritual level.  Interestingly, she speaks of her childhood as disciplined, or strict in respect to her parents and how she was raised, but also spiritual in reference to times she spent with her grandmother.  Whether we accept this or not, who we were from the time we were young – how we were raised, what we were exposed to, our outlook on the world – all make us who we are as adults and that is going to be evident in the things we do.  Because of these aspects of her strict yet spiritual childhood, this is what she has brought out in her art and she points this out in this film.  When I mention this resonated with me on a spiritual level though, I am always concerned being true to one’s self and being present in the company of others as I feel in the world we live in today there isn’t enough of people being present.  I thought her visual display on this concept – BEING PRESENT -- and the work she did was moving and inspirational. Something I noted from the film was that “performance is a state of mind.”  Abramovic also said something that I would have to disagree with (and maybe these were rules she was making for herself) when she said that artists should not: 1) lie to themselves, 2) steal ideas from other artists, and 3) should not fall in love with other artists.  Based on what we learned from the film, this very well may have been directed at herself as well as what she expected from the 30 artists she employed for her exhibit. But I think a huge part of art is stealing ideas from other artists. Those ideas can trigger something very powerful and I think artists “steal” little tidbits all the time whether they are musicians, poets, writers, or painters, and so on.

Anyone who has ever scanned the bookshelves of a new girlfriend or boyfriend- or peeked inside his or her medicine cabinet- understands this implicitly; you can learn as much - or more - from one glance at a private space as you can from hours of exposure to a public face.
