Futurists and others

This images pertain to our conversation about Victor's work. the first is The King and Queen Surrounded by Swift Nudes, by Duchamp, 1912. The second (they went into the blog out of order) is a new painting by a young Dutch artist, Hadassah Emmerich. The third is Umberto Boccioni's "Charge of the Lancers", 1912.

Next Reading

For next Tuesday, please read and respond to this fascinating essay by James Elkins, "A Multicultural Look at Space and Form".
This Tuesday we will watch the Art 21 episode on Matthew Ritchie, which I think relates to a lot of the issues in Victor's work. At 5.00 we will go to the lecture by Paul Madonna , which has been highly recommended to Angela by the Animation/ Illustration faculty.

Artist links

Hi Again.
I thought I might copy and paste this list of links I made for my Systems and Structures class; some of these folks relate to our conversations so far, others are just cool. Please check out Lee Bul and Katrina Siggurdardottir. Lee Bul is the Korean artist I mentioned yesterday, and Siggurdardottir might be of interest to Trevor (and others).

Hi Folks
Okay, so read the excerpt called Kerry James Marshall.
Here is a link to the video we'll watch on Tuesday:
http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/marshall/index.html

His comic strips are amazing. So are his charcoal figure drawings, which I've seen in a drawing show in Chicago. Don't do the reading without looking at his images so you have a reference point.

Any comments about tonight's lecture? I thought the guy was interesting, but I wish he had done more than say, "and then we made this, and then we made this...." You know?
I used to use "Das" as a kid in Australia. I think I'll go out and buy some.

Hi Folks.
You can enter your paragraph of response to our reading as a "comment" below. If you have a problem, feel free to bring a hard-copy version to class instead.
We will meet in the classroom (Art 120) at 3.00 and walk down to the Foundry to look at work.
Thanks
