Venice Biennale: Islands of Temporary Worlds

The Venice Biennale has unyieldingly created a new environment that has integrated globalization as well as organized a playground for worldwide artists to individualize themselves and represent their countries in their own creative interpretation. Bringing the world together through art has been the foundation upon which the exhibition has built itself. Since the show’s founding ...

Check out my fumanchu » Canzo Empryean

Posted 4 months ago

Not sure how much this fits into the video art realm, but it has very twisted. As you watch, you may ask yourself was this drug inspired? Yes and no, it could be genius as Matthew Barney’s Cremaster series go. On the other hand it could be low budget filming at its worst. I find it amusing in the way that ...

Cocco-nut » Paper Topic

Posted 4 months ago

My paper topic is going to address the history, controversies, and upcoming exhibitions concerning Venice’s Biennale. Being a Studio Art major, I feel like this would be the most helpful paper topic to explore. I’m hoping to become more familiar with contemporary artist and their work as well as fulfill my strong interest in Italy/Venetian history and culture. I’m interested to ...

Check out my fumanchu » Remember The Triadic Ballet? Well It Came Back in the 80’s

Posted 4 months ago

Thought I update my site anyway for future video art classes. I came across a fun 1980’s song; you may have heard it in the 2000 movie American Psycho. Well it is called True Faith by New Order. Incorporated into the video are dresses and movements similiar to the Triadic Ballet. Very avant-garde and overall intriguing video by the way the ...

I Have A Blog » Project 3

Posted 8 months ago

“Self-portrait” is 4′6″ x 2′ x 2′ and is constructed using plywood, 2×4, plaster, and found objects. The 2×4 and plywood make a podium covered in plaster on top of which rests the found objects, all covered in plaster. On the support of the podium is written a quote by Stephen Hawking, reading, “I think it says something about human nature ...

“Greenhouse” is essentially a two-part sculpture. The larger part is approximately 7′ x 8′ x 8′ and is constructed using plywood and 2×4’s. The plywood is shaped into a three-sided room with no roof and with three large windows, one of which measuring 5′ x 4′ and the other two each measuring 3′ x 4′. The interior of the room is ...

blarg » How I Felt

Posted 8 months ago

How I felt measures approximately 40”x 26”x 40” and is constructed out of chicken wire, felt, plaster, fiberglass and a press mold of the artist’s genitals. The piece addresses fears of sexual inadequacy and obsessive preoccupation with external appearance. The artist combined elements of mutilated human and animal anatomy and exaggerated their proportions to the point of grotesqueness to ...

blarg » Untitled II

Posted 8 months ago

The sculpture Untitled measures approximately 6′x30″x12″ and is loosely inspired by the work of Jan Svankmajer and the Brother’s Quay as used in their film making. The piece consists of seven dolls, constructed of various materials including nylons, make-up, Vaseline and fiberglass that sit on a distressed wooden shelf at eye level. The formal space of the sculpture is ...

they hit me with a truck » strange growth

Posted 8 months ago

These three pieces are part of a series of flowers. For now, they are untitled, but they have the working titles of “silver flower,” “red flower” and “rainbow.” The two with open petals measure approximately three feet across, witht the vines running close to 6 feet in lenth. The silver flower is about 5 feet long with ...

they hit me with a truck » plants that don’t need water

Posted 8 months ago

Measuring 12″x4″x4″ (13″ circumference), this currently untitle piece derives from much the same idea as “Is she married…”, being constructed of masking tape and utilizing no other materials or colors. Potted plants are decorative by nature, and by stripping this image of a household flower of the charm for which flowers are generally chosed, it loses its purpose and ...

they hit me with a truck » Cat ladies have time for tea…

Posted 8 months ago

This piece, “Is she married? No, she’s a cat lady” seeks to examine the way in which society views individuals, particularly women who choose a life that doesn’t fit expectations. “Cat lady” is the title given to women who chose a life that would have been described as spinsterhood in the recent past. The use of masking tape to ...

Lee Bontecou

This piece reminds me a lot of what Sarah Sze’s pieces are all about. The form has so many small details to make one large statement, and it just draws your eye in to it. Literally, my eye is drawn to the eye in the center of the piece.

Though this was part of the spore collective, I had to include this picture, because it’s probably my favorite sculpture project that I’ve completed. Well it is nice to look at, compared to my other pieces. Even I was surprised at what a little plaster and other bits can do. *cough* I meant to say, isn’t this anthropomorphic kelp amazing? ...

they hit me with a truck » Letters to a Young Poet

Posted 9 months ago

I have to say that I read “Letters to a Young Poet” in one sitting; its short, but thats not why it took so little time. Rilke’s ideas concerning life, and particularly that part of life that is solitude, spoke to me not only as an artist, but as a human being. To live is to essentially be alone; no one ...
