Week 10 – Artist – Joseph DeLappe & Micol Hebron

-

Joseph DeLappe

Joseph DeLappe is an American artist based in England. He is an artist exploring contemporary issues in contemporary politics through new media installations and interactive gaming performances. Joseph seems to have expressed various works, such as the crying Statue of Liberty and a soldier who fell with a gun next to him as if they were box materials. 



But it was none other than the computer game GTA that imprinted Joseph's name. "that games are a huge cultural phenomenon that most of the art world ignores," Joseph said. In 2006, Joseph started with a game called 'Dead in Iraq'; after that, he did another work called 'Elegy: GTA USA Gun Homicides.' For this GTA game, Joseph also won the 2019 Webby Awards.



Joseph DeLappe thought about why 'Dead in Iraq' and 'GTA USA GUN' did two works. It seemed that Joseph DeLappe wanted to say something by linking the murders in a video game to an actual murder case. It appeared that Joseph DeLappe wished to convey a message about real-life murders using video games.


Micol Hebron

Micol Hebron is an artist, curator, and professor. Hebron critically examines and uses feminist activist modes in art. Familiar artists use sculpture and drawing to describe their work. However, Hebron uses sexual body parts, especially pictures of her body, to create her art. Hebron contemplates how she can express her ideas about the core image of essentialist feminism in contemporary art.


Hebron uses social media as its leading platform. She says she uses her social media accounts to freely express her own opinions and have easy conversations with others.

I honestly can't find any similarities between the two artists this week, Joseph DeLappe and Micol Hebron. DeLappe explains what he's trying to say in his gallery. On the other hand, Hebron isn't afraid to post nude photos of her, and she hasn't done much campaigning. DeLappe did not present art based on social media. If Hebron had used social media well, Hebron's awareness would have been greater than it is now.

 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.
