Martians making art?
Permalink 0 Comments 0 Trackbacks
A vast cavern of cardboard lined with pages of taped down information and pop culture posters spanning through several galleries, a darkened room with a myriad of images and sounds sputtering at you from all sides, overly precise labor intensive markings filling a wall or space by an architectual detail, simplified paintings of an unfamiliar landscape, and layer after layer of material applied to a surface a torn through which vaguly details a map of somewhere you might have been at one time. Who makes this stuff? Martians? Contemporary art can look that way. With materials and processes that push the boundries as well as philisophical ideas of what is art will surely be explored in the galleries of the CMOA very soon. Sometimes getting students to really see this "alien" art as art can be quite a task ...I can't wait for the challenge!
