Gotta Catch 'Em All: October 2009
http://cva-oad-masog.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 29, 2009. The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters. Is Yinka Shonibare's version of Goya's The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters. Shonibare appropriated the iconic etching and gave it a contemporary art feel. The photo is of a white-haired man, not a self portrait of Shonibare like it should be if he were going to replicate the original, surrounded by realistic-looking owls and bat creatures moving in to attack him.

Gotta Catch 'Em All: Mental Mapping
http://cva-oad-masog.blogspot.com/2009/11/mental-mapping.html
Friday, November 6, 2009. The images of the MIA and the Walker were found on Google. I did not take them myself. Blogger condensed the video, so it's shorter than the original. The transitions in the beginning are lost at this speed. Sorry if the video is blurry or moves too quickly to read. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Gotta Catch 'Em All.

Gotta Catch 'Em All: Mining the MIA
http://cva-oad-masog.blogspot.com/2009/09/mining-mia.html
Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Following after Fred Wilson's Mining the Museum in chapter three of Describing Art, our assignment was to choose 3-5 items from separate areas of the MIA (Minneapolis Institute of Arts) and describe an installation we might create. The installation is meant to challenge the viewer's assumptions about those works of art. The pieces I am choosing are the Allegory of the Four Elements. By Cornelis Jacobsz. Delff, the Virgin and Child in a Landscape. The Resurrection of Christ.

Gotta Catch 'Em All: Postmodernism
http://cva-oad-masog.blogspot.com/2009/09/postmodernist-theory.html
Wednesday, September 16, 2009. I'm not entirely sure if I understand this, but I'll give it a go. The assignment is to select a work of art and write at least one paragraph about it from a postmodern standpoint using ideas from chapter 2 in Terry Barrett's. So the work I have chosen is this: Werewolf Nesting Dolls. September 19, 2009 at 5:34 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Gotta Catch 'Em All.

Gotta Catch 'Em All: Probably Not What He Was Going For . . .
http://cva-oad-masog.blogspot.com/2009/09/probably-not-what-he-was-going-for.html
Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Probably Not What He Was Going For . . . Last Thursday, we made the wonderfully confusing journey into Minneapolis and the Midway Contemporary Art gallery. While at the gallery, our assignment was to find a piece that was on display that sparked our interest and to analyze it here, on our blogs. As I'm sure you've noticed already, I am horrible at analyzing artwork. However, as this is being graded, I will keep trying! So, the piece I chose was Jeff Elrod's. So I had found ...

Gotta Catch 'Em All: In the Land of Not-Art . . .
http://cva-oad-masog.blogspot.com/2009/10/in-land-of-not-art.html
Wednesday, October 14, 2009. In the Land of Not-Art . . . Last Thursday, we took a trip to the Walker. Our jobs were to find a piece we either strongly liked or strongly disliked and interpret it. Here is what I found. Made of wood, glass, steel, silicone, plexiglass, and rubber. Gehry is more well known for his stunning and innovational architectural pieces like the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Guggenheim Bilbao than he is for his sculptural pieces like the. Because the fish is real. Is it an icon?

Gotta Catch 'Em All: November 2009
http://cva-oad-masog.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 11, 2009. A New Take On Mapping. Right now. It's a temporary exhibition of ceramic works. Knowing that, it becomes even more clear that women were not involved in contemporary art as much as they are until a couple decades ago. I think that the method that the group chose to display their information is very creative and that it works well. The piece is eye-catching and visually appealing to look at. Also, the information could be interpreted in a variety of ways. Gotta Catch 'Em All.
