Installation View of Mark Wyse's show at Wallspace
This is the show I spoke about during the crit, Mark Wyse at Wallspace in New York. Note the different kinds of images (including non-photographic images) that get incorporated into his work.
This is interesting as well. The performance artist Marina Ambramović is currently performing a work at MoMA in which for all hours the museum is open, for the duration of her show she sits at a table in silence, and museum guests can sit across from her and stare. This is a blog of pictures of the people that cried while they participated. See them here. You can also see a live feed of the piece here (during museum hours).
And while I am posting here are some photography shows in Los Angeles:
Catherine Opie at Regen Projects
Aurelien Froment & Ryan Gander at Khastoo (actually a video show, but worth seeing closes May 1)
Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili at Eighth Veil
Roy Arden at Richard Telles (he is the guy who made the video with all the internet images and funny music we watched in class)
Uta Barth at 1301PE (this opens May 1st)
Andreas Gursky at Gagosian (He sells his work for the most $$$ of any photographer)
Cried??? Why? And what is it about the other guy that makes his stuff with so much? What does it sell for?
ReplyDeleteDid they cry because they were overwhelmed in being in the presence of one of their peers? That's what I get from looking at the blonde woman that was there for 4 minutes. I couldn't believe the amount of time for the last woman; 391. My life sculpture teacher had recently talked about Marina Ambramović and this piece so it's really net to see people's reactions and such an emotional one like this. I think her piece where you had to squeeze through two nude performers in a doorway was really interesting. Which one would you choose to face as you passed by? I'm still thinking about what I'd choose.
ReplyDeleteIt's odd...I wonder what triggered them to cry...
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there is somewhere were people who've paricipated in ye crying and nude performances talk about their experience. I really am curious what they have to say or what they felt
