Some definitions.
An essay.
The book.
Iconoclasm
I thought this would be another fluff piece on people who vandalize art. It's definitely about vandalism, but not quite as fluffy. It goes well with today's talk about iconoclasm.
Note: for the contemporary artists/vandals, ART stands as the religion that the art pieces violate. How meta-fun!
It's not about the urinal (it's about evolution?)
I just came across this essay from last week.
Question: how much do we even trust the idea of "craftsmanship" when so much of our reality is mass-produced? Duchamp may have had this question in mind. Warhol definitely did, and this essay and those like it do not quite address it.
Follow-up question: how come only past APAH students read this and not current ones?
Another view of the Fourth Plinth
The Guardian's Jonathan Jones points out something that we wouldn't notice: you can't really see the Plinthers very well if you're actually at the plinth. I find the fact that he considers the web-cam portion of the project ancillary and so easily dismissed surprising.
