Site specific.
Today we looked at examples ofsite specific work. I have to say that I found Anthony Gromley’s Domain field the most intriguing out of all of the pieces. Lighting rods in the grouond that stretch over a distance of great plains….That’s natural beauty at its finest. Rachel said that she has experienced this light phenomenon of artistic display. I could only imagine what it would be like to feel and experience the presence of such a powerful force. Lighting is supposed to strike things that are tall and metal, but we as humans are tall and nature is always unexplainable. There is a sense of danger, and a sense urgency in this piece that is unremarkably present. The viewer could just as easily get struck by lightning making them part of the art piece. Then the site becomes ambiguous and doesn’t matter. You can get struck by lightning anywhere at anytime. Are you then copying the piece and the artist.
There was also a Polish artist Krystof Wodiczco who developed away to break a code of silence in Mexico City among women who were sexual abused or raped. Without trust there is no possibility for the development of his work. His participators make his work so powerful and what it is. I have to give it up to us Polish people. Secretly we run the world and shape it, change, and make it better. We rock.
