Week 5, Sharrett
I need an alarm clock that wails me in the head and runs away so I am unable to shut it off...
Once again I am much more greatly intriuged by the variety of subject matter of this reading then many of the writer's vivid, yet unecessary allegories and metaphors. Most intriguing was the survey of sixities and seventies art and the idelogies challenged in these generations, it sort provided a baseboard for was has been achieved and what is still lacking in the art world today. If sixites established a "democracy of means,"and the seventies challenged the "'art' structure" then where are we left as a generation of artists and what did the eighties and ninties hold for "art," what ideologies were established and fallacies were destroyed; these are all questions I must know as an artist, not only to avoid repetition, but to know in what ways I can challenge myself and my "art" by challenging untouched notions. If all has been said and done about "art" itself that can be said and done, I don't want to discuss it in my "art", not primarily at least, I want to focus on what needs be said, perhaps because it hasn't, or hasn't been said in the most effective ways.
