One of the defining characteristics of the art of the 21st century is its drive for absolute inclusiveness: the aesthetic equality of all media and all geographies
. The forms, concerns and strategies of art today not only refer to multiple modernisms, but also draw on very longstanding aesthetic heritages, and reflect on flows and borrowings between overlapping cultural histories

September 13/class notes from sep 15
When reading about this artist there is a common question of how far one must go? Valie Export- establishes that relationship between the interaction and the artist.
Ping Pong Table- Turning something ordinary into an art piece, much like what Marcel Duchamp Urinal art piece.

Brett's Talk about Documentaries
I really enjoyed Brett's talk because I think documentaries are really interesting. Although i liked what he was talking about the type of documentaries that i prefer are those that are true, and not fictional. For example the documentary that I watched the other day was Generation like and I really pretreated the truth behind it and the real life situations. I feel that when someone reacts something it become less of a documentary and more of a fictional story. |

Cricket arrow
This move started out about lacrosse and then changed into a movie about native american land.
my alter ego
I would not give this movie a good review. I thought it was a shitty movie that was confusing and I think that they just threw the cast from twilight in it. I thought it would have been a good concept but they fucked up.
Annoying person
I really enjoyed this movie I thought the filming was so good, and that the boys in it were so hot. My jaw dropped when they were running when they were running around with their shirts off.

Clamp
The idea of using your hands to do something so obsolete is something that i am not used to. In todays world you do not do anything by hand, its all mechanical. How did we get to where we are today and eliminate the human hand from day to day life. Where are the rest of these and are there things similar. If the world suddenly looses power will we able to find other things like this, in order to accomplish day to day life. But to talk about the actual invention of the clamp is unbelievable simple. It makes me wonder what this actually started out as, and the purpose for it.
Who does this have agency:
At some point there was a agent behind this inventor, but people do not think about the inventor when they use it.

Class Discussion.
Agency:
Social Agent- one who exercises social agency
and agency is something that allows you to think about things
and Agent is the person that puts you in the position to think. Who brings them up.
the word social is pointless in a sense because the agent is a sense it the social.
Primary service is to discriminate between happenings
-Artwork would be a secondary agent
There is no such thing as the real world, there is just the real world with art in it.
Anthropology-study of humans past and present
how he was going to start theorizing in relation with other artist
-explain wh
-therio is to make sense of behavior
-account and circulation of art objects
--do not contextualized behavior is culture context, but the interaction of social context.
Objection of agency
-index influences the abdication
contemparty art: the other is no longer important. (the agent is not longer important)
-will it exist without you.
-will it translate the same way.

My connection with Labor
Over the summer I worked for Appalachia service project, where I was able to work with many people on the process of reconstructing homes for people that cannot afford it. Whether I was physically moving things or if i was just working socially with people it was apart of my job. This connection with labor was one that was not only physical but also emotional.

Teresa Margolles
"finds the materials for her work not on the street but in one of the darkest recesses of Mexico City;s underworld:The morgue"
-she was interested in forensic medical design for doctors -learned how to conduct autopsies This idea of analysis the human body after death is really interesting, cause the body become something of a mystery with no story -she used pieces of the human body for her wrt work
-she has been recognized by some of the most prestigious museums. -but to the people of mexico her art does not shock them. "Mexico City's residents, it seems, find death less shocking than wealth" -where are the corpse'?

Designs For Life
"his unique approach to the intermingling of art with urban regeneration"
-references a lot about the past historical events in a lot of his work.
--What i love about Gates is his ability to incorporate work into the lives of everyday people
- Gates could use materials in works that at first appeared as near- decorative returns to 1960s formalism but that gradually recalled a history of violent oppression;
-His interior design work: very simple
-Snow ball that is tumbling: started something new and you wonder where it will go
