Week 11: Resolution of Final Folio

This week i didn't attend class but i did do some research on Video installation and comtemporary video art. I looked again at Matthew Barney because i really enjoyed his artwork. Matthew Barney really was an artist that i was interested in. He is an American artist who works in sculpture, photography, drawing and film. His early works were sculptural installations combined with performance and video. I really found his piece on Ren and Guardian of the Veil symbolic and interesting, in the way that explored and completed his artwork. I think that the fact the he explored biology, mythology and geology showed a different view into how art can be created and the different aspects of which an artist can take to show a idea or a perspective on a certain matter that is important to them. Gary Hill was also an artist that i was interested in further exploring his work. Especially his incorporation of text in video art. I really enjoyed looking at the artwork Incidence of Catastrophe 1977-78. His sound is also effective and i never really thought that sound and text could bring about a different element in art. I also liked the immersive environments that he explored in his artwork.

Throughout this week also because it is the resolution of folio i have been putting the finishing touches on my artwork. in my proposal my main aim was to displace objects into landscapes and provide different meanings attached to why i might of creating them the way that I have.This did not go according to the way that i wanted it to. I have used 4 artworks that i have created previously using abstract forms and changed the way they look. i will also show artwork that i originally tried but didn't like the way that they turned out. This is something that i am disappointed in but i do like this abstract painting that i have created and changed. Hopefully my message and appreciation of my art will get across to my audience.
