It's so discouraging many only remember her as a stepping stone

I love the author uses to word "freedom" in this quote. That's really echoed through the piece

This is in interesting introspective of how a women's age effects her place and value in society

this is such an interesting view

this quote is insanely powerful

ugh I've heard people say versions of this in real life.

I love that the author uses absurdity

I think this is such an interesting take on the male gaze

the idea of wilderness was created by humans and only has meaning because humans have assigned it a meaning

separate/ not apart of civilization

what does this mean?

this must have been a very big deal at the time

shows muirs trust in nature

what does this ellude to? Ethnicity? Financial status, like a labor worker that may have tan skin?

I feel like this was meant to complment the natural beauty of femininity but actually it truly depicts women as objects.

This is so crazy to me. That women were just assumed to not take place in art unless they were being posed in a painting

I like that the author is recognizing the fact people of different genders will have different experiences and therefor likely have different analysis of art

This is such an interesting question, and an important one

I feel like it's probably easier for male artists to depict the female body in such a vulnerable state because it separates the art from themselves. I think that many male artists feel more uncomfortable portraying the male anatomy.

This title is so captivating and speaks volumes about the antiquated idea that a women's place in art is nude and in a frame.

I wonder how ratings will continue to change

very interesting, also that is pretty recent

the literal depiction of drugs was in taboo until recently

who put the code in place? Who enforces it? Is it a real written set of rules or just an unspoken rule in the industry?

This idea is really interesting. I feel like art in reaction to power or power structures is a common theme. However art and power actually makes a lot of sense as a factor of 20th century art.

This definition hasn't actually changed much. I feel like this is still relevant in the art world.

I honestly love the idea of this tight knit show culture

As an artist I can't imagine being treated that way

this could be because artists felt like they had more freedom

I think it's really interesting that this event was a major influence in why art took off, I'm curious why?

In my opinion this is where art comes in. Art is how we make sense and process

There should be more emphasize on power, and what that means. Is is really the cultural impact or is it more of a technological, economical or social impact on other cultures giving the illusion of power?

I love this idea. Art is often created too the viewers eye, making them feel good, having them connect and feel included. However the piece demonstrates that the viewer is actually apart of the horrors they just witnessed.

very appropriate to the thesis of the film

I imagine this film is very interesting due to the lack of visuals. The sound actually surpasses the important of the visual components. This is something that I feel like is coming back now with the recent popularity in ASMR

the use of security cameras must have added a really unique feel

very powerful idea

So was the group creating an art piece of sorts with the research and documentation? Why is it imaginary?

kitsch defined to a tee

This idea of a show with a similar message every 5 years is such an interesting progression

I looked at some photos of this show on google and as a person who tends to work on the graphic side of fine art I found the show ground breaking for that time period. A lot of the pieces I saw reminded me of graphic design and digital manipulation.

I think this is an important change. Fine art has been heavily influenced by ideas and techniques from other cultures, and more specifically non western art. Just because these techniques or ideas have been given a name does not mean the belong to the person who gave them the name.

This is interesting. I looked at some stills from each show and aesthetically I feel like the shows are actually pretty similar.

"Primitivism is a mode of aesthetic idealization that either emulates or aspires to recreate "primitive" experience. In Western art, primitivism typically has borrowed from non-Western or prehistoric people perceived to be "primitive", such as Paul Gauguin's inclusion of Tahitian motifs in paintings and ceramics." -Wiki

I'm very curious to hear an artist's point of view on this

I feel like this question is the basis of all art, and arguable has been since the beginning of art. Our relationship with the physical world shapes everything we know, and think we know, as well as influences our likes and dislikes. Making it the most powerful motivator for art making.

This is a really good definition for most contemporary art in circulation right now

This seems like a very personal in depth piece of interactive performance art

It's frustrating to see people take such a literal interpretation on art works

This is an important contrast. Mapplethorpe represented the peak of a beautiful, settling still life should look like in the eyes of most

This must have been a very powerful moment in the art world

Video as an artistic medium in the 80s became very popular

It's crazy that public officials would release quotes like these!

I feel like this is a common situation- like mental illness in artists

This reminds me of Keith Haring

This is what artists deal with in their own process of making. How to represent information and possibly misinformation

I like how this addresses the constantly changing scape of contemporary art

This expert uses really colorful, descriptive words to explain culture is always repeating and taking and recycling ideas

I really lie this definition, it's a very unique way of looking at expressionism and it's actual so called purpose

This is an interesting avenue of evolution

very modern idea

This is an interesting point of view. I like how the author is addressing the that art isn't just at, there are a whole set of emotions and words assigned to it to make it complex.

So it basically became significant because of where and didn't have much to do with the actual art or artists. I think there is often a major disconnect between artist and gallerist/curator.

I looked up the definition and I'm still a bit confused

Kind of like "contemporary" in the last reading

I don't really understand why she would do that

very powerful

I think this would be interpreted very differently now.

I think this excerpt is interesting. The use and then mixing of these different aspects are so new, relatively, in the art world. However we grew up with that always being a part of art.

"a belief that things have a set of characteristics which make them what they are, and that the task of science and philosophy is their discovery and expression; the doctrine that essence is prior to existence."

It's very interesting that the definition is in flux

2 things at once, both are true
