lecture 9 (4/15) assignment
lecture homework for April 15
Reading Assignment: In The Making: Choosing a Mission: pg.281-321 (Victoria Vesna, Wenda Gu, Tony Oursler, and Mariko Mori)
Writing Assignment:
The Dia Art Foundation's second artists' project for the world wide web, begun in 1995, was created by the Russian emigrant artist team Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid. The Most Wanted paintings, as well as the Least Wanted paintings, reflect the artists' interpretation of a professional market research survey about aesthetic preferences and taste in painting. Intending to discover what a true "people's art" would look like, the artists, with the support of the Nation Institute, hired Marttila & Kiley, Inc. to conduct the first poll. In 1994, they began the process which resulted in America's Most Wanted and America's Least Wanted paintings, which were exhibited in New York at the Alternative Museum under the title "People's Choice."
Copy and paste survey into blog post and answer the questions in Komar and Melamid's survey about painting preferences. After you have finished, answer the following questions in thoughtful, paragraphs in your blog post:
1. Do you think that your answers are similar or different from most Americans? In what ways are they similar, and different?
2. Which questions do you think would be the most helpful if one was using market research to design new paintings for sale? What questions would you ask differently, or leave out entirely?
3. Would this work? Why or why not?
Post (title: lecture 9 assignment) your completed survey, and your answers before Friday, April 29

answer the following questions in a 600 word essay [your own words]:
- Looking at the work of SRL as fantasy, what fantasies does it fulfill?
- Compare SRL's performances to more mainstream events/entertainment that articulate the same kinds of fantasy. How are they alike, what key elements are different?
- Is SRL "yanks with tanks" as the Dutch protesters said? Does SRL's work promote or critique mechanized violence? or both?
- Who is SRL's audience? Why were they staging a big event in Amsterdam, rather than Tripoli, Libya or Kandahar, Afghanistan?

your IDENTITY ESSENTIALS should be posted today
and your inflatable model images, proposal boards and crit write up should show up before Monday.
Here are a few IDENTITY ESSENTIALS (don't forget to include what category you are working within). Plus, don't know if it is my connection, but a number of your links are broken to a few of your images. Please fix if applicable to you.
Body as a site of conflict
Be sure to go see Chinny's entire series. The cutting off of the face yet revealing the expression of the mouth reveals the actual emotion/attitude/statement that lies behind her question.
Body as landscape
Emily H has created a nice cohesive series
Janna
Body [metaphor] as essence of gender
Jackie
Katy combined essence of gender, body as landscape and
used Georgia O'Keefe's work to determine color palette.
Essence of gender (metaphor/humor)
Maggi and she shot these in the grocery story (guts for breaking social mores/norms)
