Sculptor Richard Serra sounds very articulate during this interview, which I'm listening to because of a course at Sinclair Community College. Searching on-line independently of the course, however, I have read some written interviews of Serra, and he sounded inarticulate. His verb tenses were inconsistent, for example. I suspect that he was reading from a script during this interview!!!
10 years ago i could not access thee wonderful talks. The world gets worse and more wonderful everyday. I LOVE YOUTUBE. MY EDUCATION WILL NEVER CEASE BECAUSE OF THIS SITE!!! Whether on vhs or in archives the entire world is here. W O W !
I am always interested in the way some people respond to work like Serra's. It's the inarticulate-ness of it all that amuses me. Called upon to respond to a work and all they can come up with is scatological references? Seems to me that it says more about them than the work. And none of it is good. Calling something bullshit and then explaining? Well, no, that would take an intellectual capacity, a capacity to articulate a point of view that just doesn't seem to be there.
@Efawozere that's the problem. what is there to think about art? I think minimalism/conceptualism doesn't demystify art itself. it further ficionalizes it. i think people expect too much of what art is supposed to be. in reality, it's just a meaningless object that can't do anything to anyone. so why bother argue over an object that is useless?are we supposed to think and think over something that is useless?it's like as if you're staring at a wall trying to seethrough the wall in cartoons.
why is everyone bitching about this? Serra is an artist who is puting work out there that makes us think. Dont get angry just because you are not willing to think long and hard about certin things. Not everything in this world is apparent or simplified. we should cherish things that challenge us now and then.
How can people say he's full of shit. He is one of the most articulate artists I know of. And what does race have to do with anything. Contemporary art is an elite world and Serra is part of that world, so why bitch about something you have no hope of entering. Its like wondering why you're not invited to dinner at the white house.
I AM THE ONE DISLIKE!!!!!!
