The show featured several locally well known artists, including Sarah Vaeth, who recently was included in the show “Drawing in the Expanded Field”, juried by Deanna Petherbridge at the CSU Hatton Gallery, and Keith Jentzsch, a CSU Art department faculty member, among others.<br /><br />The room, basic to say the least, was large and open allowing for easy traffic flow throughout the exhibits. The large space, a bit sparse, seemed somewhat empty, and the vaporous quality and delicate nature of some of the pieces, like Sarah’s “Snow Cave”, required an extended contemplation by the viewer to appreciate the full beauty of the work. The conceptual based pieces by Rachel Browning and Elizabeth Morisette, featuring art creation by the audience, were unusual with their participatory nature, but the visitors playfully jumped right in, becoming artists. The broad scope of included works, with their disparate styles, could be a bit disconcerting, however the variety instigated an expanding definition of what could be considered sculpture, and ultimately is what the exhibit was about. Keith Jentzsch’s piece "2 x 4", which featured a collection of building materials, really expounded on this idea. He presents the materials as they are, along with the uninitiated artistic creation of a final piece. He raises the question of where, in fact, the artwork is found; it is not just in a finalized object, but also in the process and contemplation by the artist.<br /><br />The ideas, theories and viewpoints presented, offered something for every taste, with contemplative pieces being balanced by playful works. Amy Reckley’s piece, "Gleen/Sweep", at first appearance seems to be merely a 2-dimensional work, similar to a collage, however the meaning is expanded when the visitor learns that the form was a replication or map of the room’s dimensions, and the debris attached to the surface, the effluence from the floor, in effect replicating the space in a secondary way, giving an awareness of one’s presence and perceptions of the time and space in which the work exists. Martin Mayer’s, "Make a Buck", was a fun interactive work that allowed the visitor an alternative way to think about our currency and the perceived value one assigns to random objects. Frank Stanley’s fish, "Steve", was a comic play on human relations with an object, and offered a first hand view through the ongoing monologue of how an object may perceive our dealings with it. <br /><br />Over all, the successful exhibit was quite enlivening, with art making going on by visitors at two places, and the variety and scope of included styles and mediums expanding the definition of what can be called sculpture today.Valhall Artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17299322833389320809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200445347311710409.post-35486794179916663482010-12-08T14:23:00.001-08:002010-12-11T11:34:12.545-08:00Opening Night!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFkGtfYHCJwSVBKni6A2eUW4qfrs0qHDX7ZPuPJSs88tfRpB5v3m59EOGfJCi4uCWts09n0-mulsP_NTBuGtn9ZS1cyGYOlMMvNII8oYo89wIRtRy4cewFYCUZlvhfUAKDNum8KKBGGaU/s1600/opening+3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548441383040758130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFkGtfYHCJwSVBKni6A2eUW4qfrs0qHDX7ZPuPJSs88tfRpB5v3m59EOGfJCi4uCWts09n0-mulsP_NTBuGtn9ZS1cyGYOlMMvNII8oYo89wIRtRy4cewFYCUZlvhfUAKDNum8KKBGGaU/s320/opening+3.jpg" style="float: left; height: 150px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 226px;" /></a><br />

However, our on-site exhibit at the Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art opens in ten days and there is still quite a lot to do in order to prepare the space and promote the event. So today a few of the Museum/ Gallery Studies participants met at the museum.<br />

From home <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sculptureideas/">Flickr</a> sets were pieced together in order to document the process we've gone through, e-mails were gathered, images sifted through to strengthen our online presence and loads of twittering took place! Quite a lot to do and yet we are truly grateful for all the support we've garnered from both our local and online communities which are great sources of encouragement. We appreciate you all, there is a lot to be thankful for this year!<br />

<b>The Initial Inquiry</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dear Mr. Baldessari,</div>
<br />
My name is Kathy Webb, a participant of Front Range Community College’s Museum & Gallery Studies Program, exploring the evolving definition of sculpture using objects, conceptual ideas, and social media. I am completing an independent study in art criticism and theory and would like to invite you to comment on our collective project Object, No Object: Sculpture of Ideas. We are not only curating concurrent on-line and site/time specific exhibits but also hopefully facilitating a public dialogue about the very nature of contemporary art, it's direction, and the commentary it makes on a digitally enhanced, hyper-modern society<br />
<br />
I am particularly interested in the developing discourse of what drives interest, audience and the artist. Which is more important the product (object) or the recognition of the process (non-object)? This very question, I believe, is the crux of where the current debate sits among artists, critics and academics alike.<br />
<br />
I would like to ask you what you believe are the most significant changes to occur in art in the last 100 years and how the audiences’ appreciation has also changed.<br />
<br />
I sincerely appreciate your time & consideration.<br />
<br />
Best,<br />
<br />

<b>The Response</b></div>
<br />
Dear Kat(hy), <br />
<br />
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. John was back for a very short time before he had to travel again to new york and miami. I'm sorry but he will not be able to comment on your project because of his overwhelming travel and exhibition schedule. He sends he best wishes for your project. <br />
<br />
Kind regards, <br />
<br />

During the round-table discussion with curators, artists and logistical taskmasters all in attendance it was made clear that additional virtual space was needed in order to accommodate the discourse surrounding the conceptual ideas and pedagogical stance of each artists as it pertains to the aim of the exhibit <i>Object, No Object: Sculpture of Ideas.</i>Therefore a second blog.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't have to tell you that it's a tough job market out there. The economy has been rough for everyone and museums, archives, libraries, and many other art and collection based jobs have been put through the wringer when it comes to budget cuts, layoffs, program cuts, etcetera. If you're starting in the curiosity phase of pursuing a job and education in a libraries, archives, or special collections field it is good to be realistic when looking at what the job market looks like now, and in the future. I have high hopes, history, and some factual based projection that the economy will continue to grow back, and the profession will continue to grow as it has been since its inception.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In fact, when looking at the <a href="http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos065.htm"><span style="color: #de7008;">Bureau of Labor Statistics 2010-2011 edition for Archivists, Curators and Museum Technicians</span></a>, you'll see the profession is <a href="http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos065.htm#outlook"><span style="color: #de7008;">projected to grow a faster than average 20% by 2018</span></a>.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <a href="http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos068.htm"><span style="color: #de7008;">statistics for Librarians</span></a> are also <a href="http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos068.htm#outlook"><span style="color: #de7008;">expected to grow at least 8%</span></a> and job competition to be favorable to potential employees as many librarians retire in the coming years.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This post aims to educate and help provide you vital references no matter what phase of the profession you are in.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Would you like a job at the Smithsonian? All Smithsonian jobs go through the USAjobs.gov website, where you will also find library, archives, and special collection jobs with the National Park Service, the Army, the National Archives, the Library of Congress and many other federal institutions.</span><br />

A colleague of mine who is also working with and researching social media as the part of their practice sent the following:<br /><br />"I bought something from the website (total with shipping $3.55 USD) - and the payee on the account was andraz begus, who I googled of course. He is indeed an unknown Slovenian artist. So this would require Hirst to do a rather elaborate double agent type of impersonation. I just don't think he would bother with that merely to chat with the hoi polloi. He would have to be shockingly bored with his life of untold wealth and would have to be vastly different from the person he seems to be to go to those lengths... IMHO. And I think this guy has done a pretty good job of appearing like Hirst's less evil twin...."<br /> <br />"did a little digging on the @hirstdamien Twitter account and found out it is being maintained by Andraz Begus, who is indeed from Slovenia."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.andrazbegus.com/">www.andrazbegus.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.140hours.com/artist%20bios/pages/andrazbegus.htm"><br />www.140hours.com/artist%20bios/pages/andrazbegus.htm</a>jennie kiesslinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08830518250391157637noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200445347311710409.post-53660508159715621602010-10-10T14:22:00.000-07:002010-10-10T14:39:20.869-07:00Understanding the Root Discourse IAmong the seminal ideas participants in Museum/Gallery Studies should be considering…..<p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">Lucy Lippard and John Chandler write the essay <i style=""><u>The Dematerialization of the Art,</u> </i>published in </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">the February 1968 issue of <i style="">Art International. <o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><i style=""><o:p> </o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">An excerpt<i style="">: <span style=""> </span>“During the 1960’s the anti-intellectual, emotional intuitive processes of art-making characteristic of the last two decades have begun to give way to an ultra-conceptual art that emphasizes the thinking process almost exclusively. As more and more work is designed in the studio, but executed elsewhere by professional craftsmen, as the object becomes merely the end product, a number of artists are losing interest in the physical evolution of the work of art. The studio is again becoming a study. Such a trend appears to be provoking a profound dematerialization of art, especially art as object, and if it continues to prevail, it may result in the object’s becoming wholly obsolete. <o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><i style=""><o:p> </o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><i style="">The visual arts at the moment seem to hover at a crossroad that may well turn out to be two roads to one place, though they appear to have come from two sources: art as idea and art as action. In the first case, matter is denied, as sensation has been converted into concept; in the second case, matter has been transformed into energy and time-motion.” </i></p>jennie kiesslinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08830518250391157637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200445347311710409.post-80744517337187862592010-10-09T05:12:00.000-07:002010-10-09T06:27:52.785-07:00New Layout For Blog:There have been a few comments about how the blog was confusing to navigate and looking a little messy; it's now been reformatted in an attempt to make it more user friendly.

Given the title, it is fair to say the discussion was equally fractured; opposing and contradictory ideas spring to mind just contemplating how to properly curate a very tangible and yet completely conceptual show. Our dialogue could not progress unless we first recognized how a parallel disconnect had also emerged in the current art world(s) and art market(s).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is also why there is another part to the title of our exhibit "Sculpture of Ideas." It is our attempt to engage in an emerging conversation of what drives interest, audience and the artist. Which is more important the product (object) or the recognition of the process (non-object)? This very question, I believe, is the crux of where the current debate sits among artists, critics and academics alike. I also believe as curators it is our sole responsibility to present the discourse, not only in a visually stimulating manner, but also without bias.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The delegation of duties and basic logistics, such as the space, were eventually hammered out. However because of the difficulty we are having trouble articulating our curatorial perimeters given the nature of how we are tackling this debate (which is in an exhibit) ; the statement, artist call and invitations will eventually develop once we all have had a chance to meditate on the various ways to approach this topic.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are not only curating concurrent on-line and site/time specific exhibits but also hopefully facilitating a public dialogue about the very nature of contemporary art, it's direction, and the commentary it makes on a digitally enhanced, hyper-modern society.</span>Kat Webbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00302934960854276374noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200445347311710409.post-2300116584510906222010-10-06T20:23:00.000-07:002010-10-09T13:45:30.844-07:00Loveland Museum Incident Results in Arrest over Controversial Piece:<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd4gFMVzLBRDV4dTqTIbbeKfKpaT_FIKpmGOsMxh7mUf9azu2cQE52ETpxgVZeEMI83uU_Qdpt_sLSZpcw6QK_-JfBzpcgJIPh-0IoIz8P3me-3dvcv8lA8rLQGg299pYMdQWK0W6bOAo/s1600/safe_image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd4gFMVzLBRDV4dTqTIbbeKfKpaT_FIKpmGOsMxh7mUf9azu2cQE52ETpxgVZeEMI83uU_Qdpt_sLSZpcw6QK_-JfBzpcgJIPh-0IoIz8P3me-3dvcv8lA8rLQGg299pYMdQWK0W6bOAo/s1600/safe_image.jpg" /></a></div>Please leave your comments about this incident.
