GINA ADAMS

SHE IS AN AMAZING  RESEARCH BASED ARTIST WHO LOOKS TO MUSEUM PHOTOGRAPHIC AND ANTHROPOLOGIC ARCHIVES, WHICH THEN SHE CREATE BODIES OF ARTWORK OUT OF THOSE. FOR ONE ATTRACTIVE ARTWORK SHE MADE IS THAT SHE EMBEDDED A VERY OLD PHOTOGRAPH UNDER ENCAUSTIC SO THAT THE AUDIENCE WILL NOT ABLE TO SEE THE IDENTITY OF THE PERSON NOR CAN THEY CREATE STEREOTYPES OF WHO THEY ARE OR THE CULTURE IDENTITY THEY COME FROM.  SHE CREATED A COIL POT, WHICH WAS MADE IN HER STUDIO WITH THE HELP OF HER ANCESTOR. SHE ALSO MENTIONED THAT IT IS VERY NECESSARY FOR HER TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE EACH MEDIUM FOR A BODY OF WORK BASED UPON HER RESEARCH, WHICH ARE BASED ON HER IDEA AND HER INHERITED CULTURE.

                                      

 


SHE ALSO CREATES A BODY OF ARTWORK FROM AN NBA REGULATION BASKETBALL TO TALK ABOUT THE RACISM. IT IS AN ARTWORK INSPIRE THOSE PEOPLE WITH “INFERIOR CULTURE BACKGROUND” WHO GOOD AT SPORT TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL ATHLETE.



                                            

 

 

ADDITIONALLY, SHE DID SOME ARTWORKS TO HONOR HER ANCESTORS. SHE CREATES A SERIES OF DIGITAL BEADWORK PRISMS BY USING THE COLOR OR BEADWORK FROM THE SMITHSONIAN ARCHIVES AND PLACING IT INTO PATTERNS THAT RESEMBLED 19TH CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO CARPETS IN THE ORIGINAL PHOTOS.

RELATE TO THE MALUHAN: “THE YOUTH OF TODAY ARE NOT PERMITTED TO APPROACH THE TRADITIONAL HERITAGE OF MANKIND THROUGH THE DOOR OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL AWARENESS.” ADAMS DO THE THING JUST OPPOSITE TO THIS CLAIM, SHE USES THE IMAGE OF HER ANCESTOR AS AN ELEMENT COMBINE WITH THE NOWADAYS ART ELEMENT TO FINISH HER WORK. THE OUTCOME TURNS THAT THIS PROCESS WORKS GREAT!.

RICK OWENS

RICK OWENS IS AN AMERICAN-BORN DESIGNER LIVING IN PARIS, KNOWN FOR HIS ABSTRACT, YET APPROACHABLE AVANT-GARDE DESIGNS. BORN RICHARD SATURNINO OWENS, HE BEGAN HIS LABEL IN CALIFORNIA IN 1994 AND NOW OVERSEES A VERITABLE FASHION EMPIRE FROM A FIVE-STORY COMPOUND IN PARIS. IF THERE'S ONE CHARACTERISTIC THAT HAS DEFINED HIS LIFE, IT HAS BEEN OWENS' FIERCE INDEPENDENCE. HIS ECCENTRIC BRUTALIST APPROACH IS EVIDENT IN HIS FASHION, HIS FURNITURE, AND EVEN HIS PERSONAL LIFE.                                          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." PULLING ELEMENTS FROM NIKE, ADIDAS AND PUMA, OWENS WAS ATTEMPTING TO—IN HIS WORDS—CREATE MONSTER TRUCKS FOR HIS FEET. THE RESULT WAS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN MOON BOOT AND HIGH-TOP, FEATURING AN ULTRA-EXTENDED TONG

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 DEFINITELY DERI VE DIFFERENT MEANIN

PROJECT #3

  “BEETHOVEN’S DEAFNESS DESIGNATES THE LACK WHEREIN RESIDES ALL SIGNIFICATION; IT APPEALS TO A MUSIC THAT IS NOT ABSTRACT OR INWARD, BUT THAT IS ENDOWED, IF ONE MAY PUT IT LIKE THIS, WITH A TANGIBLE INTELLIGIBILITY, WITH THE INTELLIGIBL E AS TANGIBLE.” BARTHES (P. 152)   BEETHOVEN’S MUSIC IS OFTEN SEEN AS A REFLECTION OF HIS INNERMOST THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS. HIS DEAFNESS, HOWEVER, FORCED HIM TO RELY ON HIS OTHER SENSES, PARTICULARLY HIS SENSE OF TOUCH AND VIBRATION, TO CREATE HIS MUSIC. HE WOULD OFTEN PLACE HIS HANDS ON THE PIANO OR ON THE WALLS OF HIS ROOM TO FEEL THE VIBRATIONS OF THE SOUND HE WAS CREATING. THIS ALLOWED HIM TO CREATE MUSIC THAT WAS NOT JUST AUDITORY, BUT THAT WAS ALSO TACTILE AND PHYSICAL.    AS FOR MY PROJECT, I SHARED MY PERSPECTIVE TO ENJOY THE BEAUTY IN OUR LIFE. IT COULD BE USED AS A TOOL HELP AUDIENCE FIND THE BEAUTY IN THEIR LIFE. BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING, THE ESSENCE OF LIVING IS TRYING TO ENJOY THE PROCESS OF IT, PEOPLE, MAYBE, CAN GET MORE PLEASURE FROM LIV
