chose a painter, and write about what you think that artist is doing that makes her/his work relevant today
OLIVER LUTZ
I hate this question. I think the question itself can sometimes be irrelevant. Oliver Lutz is a contemporary artist because he's making art now! This question only becomes relevant when you see someone making paintings like Mondrian or something. The influence of an artist established in a particular art movement is then undeniable. That artist making Mondrian paintings is in the wrong century! Oliver Lutz'z influences of art are the late 1800s until now. All re-interpreted into what he thinks is good art and what is special. Pretty much all contemporary work does that. It wont be till like 50 years from now we can look back and truly understand the contemporary movement of what artists were making in the 2000s. Why try to pinpoint it with a label or a trend? Isn't that one of the beautiful calculations of Contemporary art, its everything.
So to make it plain and simple: I don't know what Oliver Lutz is doing, but I understand what he's interested in and where he's coming from. I attended an artist talk by him and had a studio visit from him. I know after making a beautiful painting he will completely obliterate it with black paint. The audience is only able to view the painting underneath the black through special cameras. I feel like he's responding to our surveillance of culture. I know he's interested in many other things, his performances are really interesting too.

ORALS
1. What did you learn about your work and yourself during orals?
I learned a lot! I realized for my orals i put the wrong work up, so my thesis might have seemed all over the place. I want my thesis to be not straight forward, but a little more focused as far as content goes only. My work can be very elusive, more than i thought. The self portraits that other people are doing of me are a side project, not part of my thesis. What i learned about myself---i need to be more myself during public speaking i got too nervous and uptight and i'm not like that at all. I know now what my thesis is more than ever and i know what i'm truely interested in as far as what to make next.
2. What questions do you wish you had been asked that none of the faculty asked you?
I felt like i was talking more about the contemporary context of my work rather than the work itself which was annoying. At times i felt like it got kind of crit-ticky rather than just an oral.
I wish the questions were harder and worded more thoughtfully, i felt like the questions were so standard and so they were irritating.
Questions that pertain more to how my work works or does or its interworkings:
a.) What is the relationship of the materials you chose for each piece in relation to the next piece?
b.) What is the relationship of the materials you've chosen to your subject matter?
c.) What about psuedoscience interests you?
d.) How and Why do you talk about the future in your work when you use materials like rainbow yarn and cut paper?
e.) Can you elaborate more on the role of the self portrait in your work?
f.) What is the emotional content in your work if there is any?
3. What do you think is your strongest idea right now?
Making work that deals with metaphysical issues through a science fiction point of view
Staged Photography and making props is a good idea
4. What is the strongest part of your process or technique?
Strongest part in my technique is the technical know how to construct hand made objects and to do it well. I work with paper and crafty material very well. The strongest part in my process is that i consider all the possible options to carry out an idea/visual image. Strongest Parts in my work overall- visually innovative and engaging
5. What are the weak spots in your work right now?
Clarity
6. How do you intend to address those weak spots?
Focus! Weed out Side projects! Concertrate only on certain types of spaces, symbols and images!
7. What needs to be edited or transformed and how will you do it?
I dont want to answer this question in words, still figuring that out as i go along with each new project.

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS:
A. What aspects of Irwin's working process, life path, or thinking did you relate to and why? B. What useful advice, tips, ideas did you gain from the video?
A.) Honestly I don't relate to Irwin's work at all!!!!!!! And i don't want to!!!!! Cant believe he painted those line paintings for two years!!!!!!! 5 months is more than enough time surely to reach his goal in those paintings and to learn and edit them!! I related to and liked how he questioned every thing and became very curious about his work towards the end of the video/ his newer work. His use of color became much better. Life path is pretty ideal, he never stopped making work and got famous, unfortunately cant say that i relate to the famous part, but the never stop making work part is relatable because we're both artists.
B.) Editing, made me think about how i go about editing in my own work and what needs to be done.
MY FEEDBACK ON THE TOP 10 LISTS AND STUDIO WORK OF TWO CLASSMATES-
1.)TINE
2.)SARAH
TINE
*Influenced by & What I See in Tine!!!!!!!
-Hipster Trends
-Pop Culture
-The pop cultures depicted in fashion and popular magazines
-What's Cool?
-Traditional means and movements of painting
-Illustration
-Interest in Figure Anatomy
-Realism
-Dreamy Colors
-Body Image
-Concentration on analyzing, dissection and critique of the human figure
-Characters
-graphic shape
-paint
-mark making
-texture
-Fantasy
-Sensual
-Sexy People
-Idealism
-Anime
*Comments
-superficial beauty is a good word
-why not try to seek the same abstract atmosphere you speak of in your paintings for your drawings?
-Artists I think you might like or are relevant to you: John Currin (the way he talks about idealism, and magazine culture) (not so much the pornographic paintings, but the other ones), James Jean, http://www.fredericksfreisergallery.com/artists/smith/index.html (Zak Smith)
SARAH
*Influenced by & What I See in SARAH!!!!!!!
-First thing that comes to mind, which is the most vital, when I look into Sarah's mind i think of beauty that is manifesting itself all around us. Simple. Interesting. Good.
-Capture
-Moments
-Color
-Figurative
-Simple
-Playful
-orbs
-Cute, but dark
-Expression/ Expressive
-Breath
-Body and Mind
-Psychology
-Photography
-Clever
-Vibrating/ quivering figures
I like to think Sarah thinks these things to herself when she's painting or making a movie:
-What is beautiful made out of?
-What is manifestation really?
-What happens when the spaces in between that we cant see, but feel are made physical?
-What's in a word any ways?
*Comments
-"an anonymous presence manifests from our physical bodies, changing my visual perception. This is the feeling that I paint."--that's a beautiful thing
-Sometimes i think Sarah has adopted some futurist (Futurism) theories and philosophies and reinterpreted them for herself
-I thought it was very smart on how you documented your thesis paintings
-"we bled like the rarest peacocks..."
-Sarah is Recherch'e
