Janet Echelman: Taking imagination seriously
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Jun 8, 2011
http://www.ted.com Janet Echelman found her true voice as an artist when her paints went missing -- which forced her to look to an unorthodox new art material. Now she makes billowing, flowing, building-sized sculpture with a surprisingly geeky edge. A transporting 10 minutes of pure creativity.

Does art limit by size and does art have to be useful? more importantly what is art? To create extraordinary art requires ordinary things where everyone could identify it origin.
If you dislike dynamic art to soften cityscape then you are entitled to your opinion, but remember Janet is one of the few who turned traditional sculpture making into the 21st century for the masses, which is no small achievement in itself.
