Holzer Reading Response
I found this artical very interesting to read. It is rare that I read or hear of an artist interview - usually it is someone famous or a political icon, so this was a breath of fresh air! This idea alone sparked some interest in me about the interview process itself. If Celebs and politicians get this sort of media exposure, than why not artists? Are people less interested, or are artists simply not as concerned with their own publicity/presence? Anyways, (back to the actual interview), I loved thinking about how Jenny progressed as an artist. Moving from a medium like painting and into abstract/ word/performance maybe even internet/ digital can be very challenging - as we’ve all experienced. I think the importance here is how she created art through these more politically geared messages, while also making them easily accessible via outside displays. Interesting too how she said that now, most young folks rely on the internet and social media for similar artistic experiences and expression. Just like 4D has taught us, it’s up to current artists to keep up this trend in availability of artworks!
