Week 2 - Artist - Tom Sachs & Johanna Fateman

-

 This week I researched Tom Sachs and Johanna Fateman. Two artists, Tom Sachs and Johanna Fateman create and release Zine to the world. These two artists are different.


Tom Sachs


Artist Tom Sachs came to the world's attention in the 1990s when he presented the 'do it yourself' technique based on the concept of bricolage, which is made using all the tools of the world. Tom Sachs strongly advocates values ​​and grounding ideas through "art" against the reluctance of fashion to combine with money through advertising and consumerism to replace the world's religions and spirits. Knolling is a concept that must be crossed over to understand the character of Tom Sachs. It is an 'organization' technique in which objects with obvious uses are grouped and arranged horizontally or at right angles.



When I saw the Zine he made, it felt like a diary of everyday life. Looking at Space Program Mars, it seems that his work was expressed using wood and carts in his studio. If you look at Motorcycle Trip, you can get the feeling he recorded as he used his motorcycle to get around the places he traveled. The title itself represents the content of the work of art and expresses it well. Among Sachs' works, Mcdonald stood out the most. This Zine is a very familiar space, and it is easy to find in the vicinity. This Mcdonalds Zine shows you how food is made. He says it takes a lot of hidden effort to make specific things. He has learned the lesson to live in the future, recognizing that every moment is essential, not trivial and unimportant.


Johanna Fateman



The next artist is Johanna Fateman. When I saw her Zine, I felt a little scared. I saw her work 'Dear Diary, School Sucks again this year.' Four crying girls are bizarrely expressed. The image created by Fateman seems to be expressed as a heavy metal style painting. She made a zine when she was going to school. Another of her works is Artaud-Mania, with a dog face and two bones underneath it. I still don't quite understand what she is trying to say and what she is trying to express while looking at this picture. It seems to contain some complicated meanings.


Here's a comparison between the two artists. Overall, I think Sachs is a little better in terms of expressive ability and empathy. His works created works based on objects that can be easily found around me and formed a broader consensus. Conversely, when I saw Fateman's work, I couldn't easily understand her Zine. It was okay to express the content of her childhood school, but the other works felt something creepy. To understand her work, I think it will be helpful first to find out and understand her background.

Week 12 - Artist - Abramovic - Althamer

 Marina Abramovic She sets out to tell a story about art and the world with contemporary artist Marina Abramovich, who seeks to awaken the individual consciousness and change the world. However, I will talk about the awakening of individual members responsible for the beginning and completion of all social changes. Just as an idea is a start to change the world, I believe that an individual's awakening under challenging times can become a driving force for more tedious actions to break through the crisis.  Marina Abramovich is one of the most revered performance artists of the 21st century worldwide. Her work <Artist Is Present>, one of her works at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, MoMA in 2010, was selected by critics as representative of the new millennium. In that work, Marina sat motionless from the morning when the art museum opened until the door was closed, sitting face to face with the audience and communicating in silence. It was a performance that lasted 716 ho

I want to make a work about the last 4Th of July. Korea has Independence Day on March 1st. On March 1st, in Korea, the Taegeukgi is usually hoisted in every house. However, the United States considers fireworks on the 4th of July to be a significant event. While walking down the street, I wanted to keep the fireworks. Many media could be included, such as photos, videos, and recordings, but I chose a video among them. I think shooting fireworks on video turned out the best. Of course, I could express it with a photo, but I don't think it was as lively as a video.
