claro que es arte¡ te hace sentir vulnerable caminar entre sus esculturas, es impresionante.

Loosely translated: "Of course this is art! It makes you feel vulnerable to walk between these sculptures, it's impressive."

[MoMAvideos]

Google translates this as "The surface of the intent of this videotape"

Richard Serra can't do anything that isn't "heavy" in the best sense. This time-lapse installation video is superb!

I wrote about the 40-year survey of the great sculptor's art works on paper now running at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Simple in its complexity, complex in its simplicity, another great retrospective ~Austin

well said.

[lloplop]

is art supposed to have a specific feeling? you cant make such a generalization.

Art only serves as a mirror, depicting its society. Mordern society is a cold insensitive one.

Art has only changed the way society has also changed.

[maxmash]

i like modern art because of its cold feeling.

The fun thing about this time lapse is the changing light.

I like Richard Serra, but I also love what Robert Hughes wrote about public displeasure with his work back in the 80s: "Tilted Arc should stay, if only as a monument to the follies that arise at the juncture of undemanding patronage and truculent aestheticism." I think that juncture will be known to history as the 20th century.

Classical painting will reemerge as a valued medium in the century to come.
