Charlotte Moorman

IN THIS PROJECT, I AM WORKING ON DOING RESEARCH OF CHARLOTTE MOORMAN WHO IS A BRILLIANT CELLIST, AND ADVOCATED FOR AVANT-GARDE MUSIC, AND FREQUENTLY COLLABORATE WITH THE KOREAN AMERICAN NAM JUN PAIK. THE PERFORM ART SHE DOES HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH MCLUHAN’S CLAIM THAT “TELEVISION COMPLETES THE CYCLE OF HUMAN SENSORY”, WHAT SHE DO RELATED TO THE QUOTE IS THE TELEVISION BRA. MY THESIS IS TELEVISION NOT ONLY COMPLETES THE CYCLE OF HUMAN SENSORY, BUT ALSO ENRICHES THE HUMAN’S ART ELEMENTS. AND AS RESPONDING TO THE BOOK TITLE “ THE MEDIUM IS A MESSAGE” CHARLOTTE MOORMAN IS THE MEDIUM AND THE MESSAGE IS WHAT THE NAM JUN PAIK DID IN ART. MOORMAN SUCCESSFULLY COMBINE THE TV BRA, THE CELLO, AND HERSELF AS ONE BIG UNITS; AS SHE MENTIONED: “TV BRA IS ONE THIRD OF [THE PIECE], I’M ONE THIRD OF IT, AND MY CELLO IS ONE THIRD OF IT. WHEN WE’RE ALL TOGETHER, THE WORK IS COMPLETE.” MOORMAN NOT ONLY FAMOUS FOR HER TV BRA ART, SHE IS ALSO A FEMINISM ARTIST. SHE KEPT HER ATTITUDE IN PERFORMING ART WITH HER NAKED BODY AND COLLABORATE WITH THE MALE ARTIST TO SHOW THE WOMAN COULD DOMINANT WHAT THEY LIKE AND WHAT THEY WANT. AND THIS IS ANOTHER POINT SHOWS CHARLOTTE MOORMAN IS GREAT ARTIST.

WELL! AGAIN! ANOTHER PAINTER??? BUT! HELL YEAH!!! I LIKE SOME OF HIS WORKS! I ENJOY HIS IDEA OF COMBINATION; HE COMBINES SOME FRAGMENTAL ELEMENTS THAT WE COULD EASILY DISCOVER IN LIFE AND HIS COLORED PATTERNS. THAT IS HIS WORK STYLE. I LIKE IT. I REMEMBER IN ONE OF HIS ARTWORKS, THERE IS A COMBINATION BETWEEN THE VERY DUSTY RUINS AND THE COLORFUL PATTERNS. THE SHARP CONTRAST IN COLOR AND CONTENT GIVES ME A GREAT VISUAL STIMULATION. AND ALSO, HIS ABSTRACT WORK STYLE MAKES HIS WORK OUTSTANDING. THE ABSTRACT SELF-PORTRAIT IS VERY INTERESTING. MOREOVER, HE THREW OUT A QUESTION “SHOULD YOUR FIRST PIECE LOOK LIKE THE LAST ONE IN YOUR COLLECTION?” MY ANSWER IS NO! NOT NECESSARILY!

PROJECT #2

THE ROLE OF AUTHORSHIP IS THAT PEOPLE COULD TELL “HELL YEAH THAT’S BOWEN’S WORK!” BECAUSE THERE IS MY SOUL, MY STYLE, AND EVEN MY EXPERIENCE IN MY WORK. MY WORK EQUALS TO MY NAME IN SOME ASPECTS. OF COURSE, I CONSIDER MY WORK ORIGINAL, BECAUSE I EXERCISE MY AESTHETIC BY READING A HUGE VARIETY OF WORKS, WHICH ARE IN VERY DIFFERENT KINDS OF STYLES. THEN I COME UP WITH MY OWN STUFF. WHEN THE AUDIENCE LOOK AT MY WORK, THEY COULD ONLY TELL OH THAT ARTWORK LOOKED A LITTLE BIT LIKE BLABLABLA’S WORK, BUT ALSO A LITTLE BIT LIKE DLADLADLA’S WORK. BUT FUCK NO, IT IS JUST L I K E, THAT STYLE IS BOWEN’S STYLE MY ORIGINAL SHIT. EVERYONE WHO STARES AT MY WORK FOR MORE THAN 3 MINUTES COULD “TAKE POSSESSION” OF MY WORK AND DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT. I THINK WHEN THE AUDIENCE GET THE BEAUTY OF MY STUFF, AT THAT MOMENT, THEY TAKE POSSESSION OF IT. AND THEY COULD ALSO DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES OF LIFE COULD DEFINI...

RICK'S REPRESENTATIVE ABSTRACT FASHION DESIGN: THE FIRST GENERATION GEOBASKET INITIALLY INTRODUCED IN FALL/WINTER 2006'S "DUSTULATOR" COLLECTION, RICK OWENS DESIGNED THE GEOBASKET BECAUSE HE FELT THAT ATHLETIC SHOES WERE SIMPLY TOO "PROSAIC."
