Live/ Work

The Live/ Work show was not what I was expecting. What I had in mind was performance's, actual people doing the work in front of you. I didn't really grasp the concept of the title's relationship with the work. It really confused me. I still don't understand it.
It was really difficult to choose between all of the art works. They were all individually unique and each stood out as their own. If I had to choose I would school "Taxi Drawing" by Paul Sietsema. The idea of the brain and the texts, it was very creative. I especially loved all the colors and how he used the different colored paper/ tape to create movement throughout the piece. Some of the texts said things like "Forms in the realm of time... Forms in the realm of the mind".
The "Mental Excercise" by Mel Bochner interested me alot. It made me want to test it out. It interested me because it was so different and was phsycologically challenging.
One of the pieces from Gabriel Orozco "Ticket-Alitalia" made me think about all the ordinary things that can be used to create art. Like a checkbook, movie stubs, anything!
The show was very intense and overpowering. Each piece made me stare and wonder how it was created and how much time it must have taken. All of the art works all very beautiful in it's own way. I had to do a couple of double takes on some because when you stare at something from far away it's different from when you stare at it up close. While I was there people would walk by saying, "I could do that". Sure you can but did you? It's not whether you can achieve it or not, it's the time you spend thinking about it. I think that's most important in art works. The time you think about creating something because anyone can just think of something and put it down on paper.
