viperface Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Roman Signer’s "action sculptures" involve setting up, carrying out, and recording "experiments" or events that bear aesthetic results. Following carefully planned and strictly executed and documented procedures, the artist enacts and records such acts as explosions, collisions, and the projection of objects through space. Video works like Stiefel mit Rakete (Boot with Rocket) are integral to Signer’s performances, capturing the original setup of materials that self-destruct in the process of creating an emotionally and visually compelling event. Signer gives a humorous twist to the concept of cause and effect and to the traditional scientific method of experimentation and discovery, taking on the self-evidence of scientific logic as an artistic challenge.

complex Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 personally i think the key to expanding to different types of art, high, more advanced forms is just having the materials and being able to let them go to waste. no one is an epically great artist right away. but having the materials to just experiment with and not care if it doesn't turn out well is so hard to do. especially with no dinero. However a lot of people would be surprised how much they could create with the availability of the resources. classic oils aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEVEL 75 PALADIN Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Andy Goldsworthy was born in Cheshire in 1956 and was brought up in Yorkshire. He studied at Bradford College of Art (1974-75) and Preston Polytechnic (1975-78). After leaving college Goldsworthy lived in Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria. He moved over the border to Langholm, Dumfriesshire, in 1985 and to Penpont one year later. Throughout his career, most of Goldsworthy's work has been made in the open air, in places as diverse as the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District, Grize Fiord in the Northern Territories of Canada, the North Pole, Japan, the Australian outback, St Louis, Missouri and Dumfriesshire. The materials he uses are those to hand in the remote locations he visits: twigs, leaves, stones, snow and ice, reeds and thorns. Most works are ephemeral but demonstrate, in their short life, Goldsworthy's extraordinary sense of play and of place. The shapes he works from his raw materials are basic: spiral, circle, cone, arch, column, sphere, and undulating line. Often a form will encircle a naturally occurring object, such as a tree or boulder. Other times his forms seem to play with objects, hanging from them or leading to them. Some are designed to play with light and shadow. All have the effect of integrating the area around them as part of the finished sculpture. Twigs will be counterbalanced and stabilized with thorns to form a screen through which we might see the sun sinking behind a grove of trees. Coloured leaves are gathered and thorned' to a supporting branch creating a subtle rainbow. We realize that leaves are more than green, yellow, red and brown. The play of light upon the form further reminds us of the sun's role in creating leaves and life. Goldsworthy is constantly reminding us to look again, to recognize and realize the connections between the elements. Another quality of Goldsworthy's sculptures is to convey a strong sense of place. Ice arches along a frozen river bank, twigs wrapped around a stone, leaves creating a bridge between the trunks of a tree all contained within the photographs in his books. He is a wonderful role model for children, particularly in the areas of sensitivity to the environment and thoughtful, creative engagement with the environment. Goldsworthy rarely uses living plant materials in his work, nor does he make sculptures intended to last for longer than the materials themselves. Ice sculptures are allowed to melt, leaves to fall from their thorny supports, twigs to fall in place as they might have naturally. The works are recorded as photographs. Book publication is an important aspect of Andy Goldsworthy's work: showing all aspects of the production of a given work, each publication is a work of art in its own right. Without a doubt my favorite artist. Dude is amazing.. I highly recommend Rivers and Tides to anyone that is interested in his work. http://youtube.com/watch?v=3TWBSMc47bw http://youtube.com/watch?v=fYPciDxKoyI http://www.12ozprophet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121472 for more pics, too many for one post.

yinz n'at Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 jenny holzer i love this woman, she did this in my hometown.. the biggest led install in the world on one of the largest green buldings in the world The New York Times July 20, 2005 Large Type for Pittsburgh Authors By Lawrence Van Gelder Modern art and literary art will come together in downtown Pittsburgh tonight when a new public art installation by Jenny Holzer sends the texts of five books by authors with Pittsburgh roots — Annie Dillard, John Edgar Wideman and Thomas Bell — scrolling upward along hundreds of feet of the swooping roofline of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. The work, "For Pittsburgh," giving a public presence to books usually read in private, uses more than 1,500 light-emitting diode tubes to scroll the texts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in letters 36 inches high and 11 inches wide, along two edges of the roof, each nearly 350 feet long. As time passes, other books will be added to this public library. The first three, all telling stories about Pittsburgh based on the experiences of the authors, are "An American Childhood" by Ms. Dillard, the "Homewood Trilogy" ("Sent for You Yesterday," "Hiding Place" and "Damballah") by Mr. Wideman and "Out of This Furnace" by Mr. Bell. * Copyright 2005 The New York Times Company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
