learnt in class today:
1. Andy Goldsworthy, British sculptor/photographer/environmentalist.
our tutor showed us some of his artwork from a photo book, where most of the pieces involved wool and Great Britain's landscape.
"There is an ephemeral quality locked into Goldsworthy's work just as surely as it is locked into nature. Many of his pieces only last a few hours, though they achieve an afterlife on film or in photographs..." from an interview with The Observer.
2. Lucy McRae, Australian artist/designer/body architect.
her homepage has gorgeous videos of her performance art and also a blog with behind-the-scenes footage.
classmate showed us the video entitled "Liquid Experiments".
above is a screenshot from it. cool shizz
and she's a speaker on TED, which is a nonprofit that shares ideas about Technology, Entertainment and Design.
3. there's another 'sculpture by the beach' event at Fremantle, Bathers Beach, called Sculpture@Bathers. 16 march - 1 april.
thinking of going this weekend...
