Favs:
Janine Antoni. Her idea was very interesting and innovative. She took a lofty notion of walking on the horizon and turned it into performance art.
Ann Hamilton. She used an interesting media and installation techniques. I do think what she said about her art was a little bit of a stretch.
Kara Walker. Her use of silhouettes is very striking. Though I did find this comment from the video interesting: "I don't think I've ever seen a more sick & twisted artist than Kara Walker. She fantasizes about being a slave. Getting raped by Slave Masters. Killing Slave masters, killing the children that are the result of the rape. On & On. Her art is extreme and unhealthy. How can anyone live with this imagery in their homes? If an Artist is going to examine this subject matter, they should do so from a position of strength and come out victorious. Kara constantly emerges as the victim."
Cai Guo-Qiang. His art creates a very emotional response.
Construction Dance. I didn't really get it but I liked the visual and suspensful aspect of the video.
Chris Burden. I liked how this wasn't about making art but rather living in the experience.
Not so favs:
Jessica Stockholder. The only interesting thing about her piece was the interesting intermingling of color. Other than that, there is nothing that inspires or creates any thoughts.
Kiki Smith. Her fixation on death or rather dead animals is bizarre.
