UPDATE1#

BY NOW, I HAD ALREADY UPLOADED AROUND 80 PHOTOGRAPHS ON THE FLICKER SITE AND CATEGORIZED THEM INTO 4 ALBUMS: JAPAN, CHINESE PEOPLE IN CHINESE EYES, MONOTONOUS, AND ARCHITECTURE. I GET REALLY INSPIRED BY A QUOTE IN THE BOOK THAT “ABSTRACTION TODAY IS NO LONGER THAT OF THE MAP, THE DOUBLE, THE MIRROR, OR THE CONCEPT. SIMULATION IS NO LONGER THAT OF A TERRITORY, A REFERENTIAL BEING, OR A SUBSTANCE. IT IS THE GENERATION BY MODELS OF A REAL WITHOUT ORIGIN OR REALITY: HYPERREAL.” THIS QUOTE GIVES ME AN IDEA THAT THINGS COULD JUMP OUT OF THE BOUNDARY THEY SHOULD HAVE. BASED ON THIS IDEA I REAFFIRM MY THOUGHT THAT USING THE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM A LOT OF PLACES IN THIS WORLD AND FINALLY PROVIDE THE FINAL PROJECT AS AN ABSTRACT WORLD TOUR. I BRING THE VIEWER TO THE PLACE I TOOK THE PHOTOGRAPH AND LET THEM SEE THOSE PLACES. I CONSIDER THIS PROCESS LIKE TAKING AN ABSTRACT JOURNEY.  LATER ON, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A TRIP TO THE ART GALLERY MILWAUKEE TO SEE THE ART EXHIBITION GET SOME INSPIRATION, AND TAKE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS, AND ALSO, I SHOULD UPLOAD SOME PHOTOGRAPHS I TOOK IN VANCOUVER TO ENRICH THE VARIETY OF PLACES I COULD TAKE THE VIEWER “TRAVEL” TO. THOSE PICTURES ARE STILL IN PROGRESS OF EDITING.

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 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. T...

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...
