ARTH 103 - Earth Art/Performance Art

How To Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare
|
|
Joseph Beuys, German, 1965, Performance Art. Sat in Dusseldorf gallery for 5 hours speaking gibberish to a dead hare in primitive-looking mask while pointing at his paintings. Also had vehicle parts attached to body -- spiritual radio. Expresses idea that people understand modern art as well as a dead hare.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial
|
|
Maya Lin, American, 1982, Earth Art. Simple slab of polished marble with names of all the men who died in war. Looks like a crack in the earth. Symbolizes meeting place between the living and the dead with its seemingly infinite list of names.
|
|
Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Bulgarian/French, 1972-1976, Earth Art. Fence of fabric run across the California farmlands. Farmers took offense to -- thought they were being mocked, but were really trying to respect them. Took years to build but was only kept up for 2 weeks -- artists feel that transience creates the attention it deserves.

|
Robert Smithson, American, 1970, Earth Art. Located in remote area of Salt Lakes in Utah. Defies purpose of breakwater in that it's not shaped the conventional way. Viewer intended to walk the length of it to get a full idea of its size. Crystals in lake are spiral shaped, also mythology about spirals by local Native Americans. Natural world affects viewing experience.
