VALARIA TATERA


THE INSTALLATION ARTIST VALARIA TATERA PROVIDE ME A NEW IDEA OF USING THE RIBBONS: SHE CREATES HER ARTWORK WITH TONES OF RIBBONS HANGING ON THE CELLING. HER INSPIRATION OF THE ARTWORK IS FROM THE WISCONSIN STATE FOR BEING A HOME FOR EMBRACE THOSE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. AND THE IDEA IS ABOUT THE HOLDING SPACE FOR INDIGENOUS. IN HER ARTWORK I COULD DEEPLY FEEL HER IDEA. BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING, THE RIBBONS OVERALL CREATED A GIANT PLACE, WHICH INDICATE THE STATE OF WISCONSIN. AND EACH RIBBON REPRESENTS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, IN BETWEEN THE RIBBONS, THERE ARE BLANKS, WHICH ARE REPRESENT THE INDIGENOUS WHO WITHOUT THE STABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT, WITHOUT THE BACKUPS, AND WITHOUT GOOD SOCIAL CONNECTION. THE USAGE OF RIBBON IS A BRILLIANT IDEA SINCE MANY RIBBONS TOGETHER COULD CREATE SPACE, BUT EACH RIBBON COULD ALSO REPRESENT SOME INDIVIDUALS.

ACCORDING TO MCLUHAN: “WE EMPLOY VISUAL AND SPATIAL METAPHORS FOR A GREAT MANY EVERYDAY EXPRESSIONS. WE INSIST ON EMPLOYING VISUAL METAPHORS EVEN WHEN WE REFER TO PURELY PSYCHOLOGICAL STATES, SUCH AS TENDENCY AND DURATION.” IN THIS QUOTE, MCLUHAN MENTIONED THE VISUAL METAPHOR, AS THE RELATION TO TATERA’S WORK THE VISUAL METAPHOR IS SOMETHING CLOSE RELATED TO HER IDEA OF REPRESENTING THE INDIGENOUS (I HAD INTERPREATED ABOVE). WE SEE THE ARTWORK WE READ THE METAPHOR.

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...

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.

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."

ART TALK RESPONSE: CRISTIAN ANDERSON

WELL YEAH, HE IS A COOL ARTIST, BUT I AM NOT VERY INTO PAINTING STUFF, SO I AIN'T GONNA TALK ABOUT HIS WORK. JUST VERY FEW THINGS HE MENTIONED DURING THE TALK MADE ME INTEREST ED.    “ARTISTS DESCRIBE HOW THEY FEEL AND THINK THROUGH MAKING ARTWORKS”   I CANNOT AGREE MORE! THE VERY ESSENCE OF MAKING ARTWORK AS AN ARTIST IS A WAY TO REFLECT THE ARTIST’S THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS. WHEN AN ARTIST CREATES A PIECE OF ART, THEY ARE NOT JUST PUTTING COLORS ON A CANVAS OR SHAPING CLAY. THEY ARE POURING THEIR SOUL INTO THEIR WORK. THEY ARE SHARING A PART OF THEMSELVES WITH THE WORLD. THROUGH THEIR ART, THEY CAN COMMUNICATE THEIR EMOTIONS, THEIR EXPERIENCES, AND THEIR PERSPECTIVES ON THE WORLD. MAKING ARTWORK ALLOWS THEM TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN A WAY THAT WORDS CANNOT.    “ART CAN BE EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE” STRONGLY AGREE! ART IS NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT EXISTS IN MUSEUMS OR GALLERIES. IT CAN BE FOUND EVERYWHERE AND ENJOYED BY EVERYONE. WHETHER WE ARE CREATING IT OR AP...
