thanks for the clarification.

@popeyeisgood: I hear you. Sad, but true. I have the same reservations about Peyton. The use of famous subjects certainly ensures her economic viability, but making "art" decisions with so much emphasis on the profit potential end of things is a horrible idea. It reeks of dark ulterior motiv...

Really nice work. Loved the layers of translucent fabrics subtly shifting the colors and structures beneath. Fabric as a stand-in for thick glaze. Thanks again for sharing JK.

@spawndonitis: I just want to take the opportunity to mention that I think the word "should" has no place in relation to any of the arts. "should" implies boundaries and rules which are what artists must dispense with in order to discover new territory or new angles.

@claureic: Maybe your right. However, I believe there is much to be enjoyed on a sensual level. I can't stop thinking about Tuttle and his influence on Hammon's. The compositions aren't revolutionary, but the beautiful shapes conveyed through shadow, as well as the textures, volumes, and juxtapos...

Thanks again JK. It's great that your covering this particular fair. While the commodification of art has it's definite downsides, providing a venue for "outsider" artists is quintessential in that it gives voice to a variety of fresh perspectives entirely outside the influence of established fin...

Talk about austere. Wow. Thoughts of the ceremonial circling of Buddhist temples come to mind. The subservient nature of walking on his knees is fascinating. I enjoyed watching him disappear behind the beautiful mound at the end, and the gray of the concrete floor as well as his skin tones we...

Point well taken. How disturbingly odd. Obviously this makes the whole gig a performance piece designed to thrill and nothing more. I did get a kick out of watching the assistant nearly aimlessly push the paint around while being directed by Nitsch. That was hilarious. Also, the incident invol...

Thanks James. I was waiting for this one.

Thanks JK. I certainly don't deny that he knows what he's doing. I'm simply curious if there were underlying motives such as commodification. For instance, the repetitiveness in Lasker's work seems designed to ensure recognizability. Maybe I am way off base. There is nothing particularly wr...

Thanks for the follow up JK. Intriguing about the mirrored images. I'd like to understand that element better, but the degradation makes a great deal of sense to me. I've followed Martin's blog for a couple of years and didn't realize until your recent video from his shadow boner exhibition th...

@eenkjet-the idea that if an object doesn't intentionally seek to push the history of art then it must be entirely disregarded is a naive statement in my opinion. art can definitely be regarded as a means to communicate on a non-verbal level and be successful in pushing or expanding our awarenes...

Thanks for sharing JK. Love the new rough cuts channel. I do have a bit of constructive criticism for you. When you interview folks you often ask a question and only allow a partial response before you cut them off. I understand that you possibly desire expedient comments, but I have to say t...
