I dont know what the football player represents but the last show I saw had birds and stuff. THey were smaller, and it was in a smaller gallery, so I guess they weren't worth as much, but I think they were better.
Is Chie Fueki a football fan? My guess is that its more a bridging of the cultures sort of thing. Multicultural stuff.
One last thing - Im not a fan of pattern and decoration even though I like patterns. Its a trap I dont want to get into. What if all you really do is design paisley patterns?
Yes, Tomaselli is not immune. He has assistants so no "obsessive" credit like Yayoi kusama or a tibetan/hopi mandala painter. I mena obsessive just doesnt cut it - otherwise every stoner with a trip book would be on the market right? Thou shall shit it out.
Calvinism. Hedonism.
I said it once, Ill say it again I like the quilts of gees bend.
In some countries of Europe and in Japan, chrysanthemums are symbolic of death and are only used for funerals or on graves. In the United States, the flower is usually seen as more positive and cheerful.
Arts and Crafts movement was in large part a reaction to industrialization, if looked at on the whole, it was neither anti-industrial nor anti-modern. Some of the European factions believed that machines were in fact necessary, but they should only be used to relieve the tedium of mundane, repetitive tasks.
KJ good point about the cultural/ history aspect. As he's outside the box... maybe he's a gift [wrapping paper patterns et al]. Bodybuilding's not my thing , so I go with "denigration".

Closeuup, don't know how to take that, but for those of you who want not...
You can blame our american finacial complex for that -- a debt-centric institution that values speculative investment more than it values the production and circulation of real goods.
Funny how art mirrors real life.
We are beyond the point, closeuup, of returning to the time when our production was greater-to-or-equal-to our debt-spending. I'm cynical in this view, yes.
In order to get out: 1) Less speculation 2) More institutional value on sweat-equity.
I think this should (or will) be reflected in our art market once we realize that our production capacity (thought as well as material) has been diminished by the shadow of speculation and it's methodologies. In essence, we tend to invest on things that have not been produced yet. We build confidence in innovation, yet we relegate the physical infrastructures that can test and build upon ideas to the 3rd world. Those infrastructures are the key to innovation. American industry has, in effect, 'forgotton' how to build and test things cuz the builders and testers have long been farmed out oversesas.
The masters money may be here (um...really?) but the masters tools are elsewhere.
Finance -- the financial institution -- with its speculative values -- is the American Emporer who will one day have no clothes.
saw this in person, was really astounding up close.... Im still not 100% with the subjects and from far away something becomes too static, perhaps in the composition but all in all nice show

ReplyDeleteOne of the great reasons to get into the arts in the first place is so you can ignore football and all that stupidity. Not for me...

ReplyDeleteooops my bad, should read
ReplyDelete" Is Chinese art a hot growth area in a superheated art market?"
KJ good point about the cultural/ history aspect.

I always felt like P&D was some marketing strategy by Holly Solomon. An excuse for some loud paintings? Didnt seem significant at all.
ReplyDeleteMiriam SHapiro to James Gobel...that's important work.

Decinlevin. THanks for your interest. Please say something interesting. Otherwise here are a few suggested topics:
ReplyDelete1) Is pattern and decoration rigourous?
2) Chevrons- like or dislike?
4) What do the Opium Wars have to do with anything?
5) Does Japan have influences or is she visionary?
forget topics. I'm tellin yall now.
ReplyDeleteINVEST in China if you have the money.
Japanese art or no japanese art.
Your children will thank you for it.
peggie--we are all investing in china, whether we want to or not

ReplyDeleteInvesting is fine -- I can do that.
But investing in Investing is a recipe for a logical crash.
But please, beefore investing overseas, pay back all your
credit card debt, pllleze, as a gesture of
defiance toward your emporer.
