4. "RE: wanna discuss Work of Art"

I thought they made the right decision by picking Abdi. His figures were interesting as were his images. It's something I would like to see in a museum or collection. He had a lovely Mom and I was touched when he said he would give her the $100,000. Very mature for such a young guy. Peregrine's collection was a bit weird, especially the two deer fetus' that were preserved. It was very disturbing for me. She had so much stuff it was hard to decide what was going on. It was like a garage sale. Her home/studio looked really interesting, more so than the pieces she brought to Brooklyn. I would have loved to wander around just looking at everything there. Miles took a different turn for his last works. Photographs taken off a video security screen and then manipulated weren't really that interesting. I kind of felt sorry for him because they had praised him all along and I thought he believed he was going to win. I was happy to see he had such a nice family and home life. |

I missed the beginning, which I'll watch tonight..... I thought Myles was a shoe in, too...but that's good editing of a reality show. Deer fetuses....i gagged. Too "out there" for me. Abdi was a honey.....couldn't be happier she won. can you find the site where i can see their work up close...without having to watch a video? |

And isn't this what art is intended to do....not overintellectualize it (although that can be entertaining)...but to touch a part of your soul. I've said this before but love going to art museums with SEP. She is VERY knowledgable about art/art history/movements/etc etc but she is NOT a snob. You haven't lived until she's turned to you and said, "well now that's just butt ugly, isn't it?" OR we argue if she gets the Renoir in her bedroom or I get it in my bathroom.....we argue over who saw it first so who "gets" it. So fun. I have not done the homework but have been privileged to go to some of the best museums in the world. When we were at the Rikesmuseum in Holland I turned to her and said, "who knew I'd love the Dutch Masters???" Also, standing in front of Whistler's Mother, Susan pointed out the geometry of the painting, which I never would have seen. Art...good, bad, and in between...bless them! (Well, not all of them, I guess!) |
