The film is also great. Got to see it twice in the theater.

Love his work so much. I have all the coffee table books of his photos at home.

 

He seems quite "writer"ish in his approach to art: he creates something site specific that he doesn't expect to last and he isn't precious about his work wither - unlike so many artists.

 

He is a creative genius.

...i ripped apart a thesis talk by a grad student a year or so back that used goldsworthy as an example of what she thought art should be(...she was a 'craft' person)...i think some of his work looks great, but when i think about it critically some of the stuff contradicts itself...

thats why i love the board, brings insight and shit to you that you would have never seen before, this point of view is almost dead on. its like he does it for the flick and that is it. Lets whatever happens to it happen, but his work is simply amazing

I understand and fully endorse ripping 'craft' people apart. there was some sorority slut in my sculpture class in college. the first project was clay. she made some cheesy ass wheeled horse on a string that also served as a picture frame..the professor nearly imploded...shit was hilarious. never saw her in that class again.

 

I dig the dude's work simply because some of it almost looks photoshopped.

what's a "craft" person?

 

...in my school there was a distinct difference between 'craft people' (...ceramics, woodworking, furniture making, textiles, glass, etc) and 'real art' (...painting, sculpture)...then there were the design kids, which we considered to be just 'different' so there was no real hate...this isn't just a seperation that exists at some schools (...and from what i've seen it's pretty prominate at a lot of schools) but it also exists on a very real level in the gallery world and art criticism...right now there is a real argument going on as to whether crafts are fine art or something else...

...the prominent arguement between the 'fine arts' vs craft distinction in contemporary theory and aesthetics is not so much that crafts are lower or less important than 'fine art', or as you put it, 'the work of plebos'...but that the distinction arises from a different history for each that leaves them uncomparable...a piece of pottery doesn't need to reflect the history of sculpture, it needs to reflect and be infromed by the history of pottery...it relates to other pottery and should be critiqued in that fashion...one is not better or worse than the other, they exist on differnt planes...

In my local bookshop they have a new Goldsworthy book out for christmas; all these stone egg shaped things in various settings and loads of upwards pointing icicles. I hope I'm getting it.
