I attended the video broadcast of the Diana Al-Hadid lecture which happened in Eugene. She showed a number of beautiful sculptures, installations, and paintings. Some of her work seems perfect for art museums, and obviously people agree with me as she has had shows all over the world. Her work is modern and interpretive while being full of texture and emotion and I would want to stop and contemplate her pieces had I seen them in an art museum.
I admit there was something disappointing about hearing her speak about her pieces. Perhaps I was led on by my assumption that most lecturers are older and have more life experience and impart some of that onto their audience, but she seemed to be just one of my super-talented peers that ended up somewhere by accident. Also, maybe it’s not just her: sometimes, there is something deflating about hearing artists speak about their work. It puts into question the nature of “art” in general, but some art is more powerful when it’s meaning is personally derived. Or I just feel like if an artist’s pieces are derived from a feeling or emotion and not a super intellectual metaphor, or fall under the popular art genre more than subcultural art, it’s better to just be honest. Or some of the magic is sucked out of a piece when information I don’t personally like is attached to it. That last part is definitely true.
I may not actually be talking about Diana Al-Hadid’s work here, but hearing her speak and seeing images of her (beautiful, whimsical) work lead me to speculation…
That is one of several reasons it took years for ReStore to get a new home, northside9. They had difficulty finding a large-enough site that was cost-effective and in the city.
Nice read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing some research on that. And he just bought me lunch since I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch! l1 visa
Boa noite pessoal, provavelmente disparar um SMS grátis está cada vez mais custoso devido a restriçao das operadoras de telefone. Há ainda os serviços que prometem entregar meu SMS mas nem sempre chegam recepiente final. Alguns como o Mundo oi e o Oi Torpedo funcionam mas e para as outras operadoras? E os que prometem que mandam e nada chega. Para onde está indo as as minhas menssagens? E para a Tim, Vivo? Alguma Idéia? Ou significa ter de pagar?. É só um desabafo, realmente está difícil achar bons sites para enviar torpedos barato.
