Soowan An- Conversation Pieces - Week 1 Assignment

Three pieces of text that I particularly found interest include…
  • The presentation of three different artistic projects, WochenKlauser boat talks, The Roof is on Fire, and the Routes project, and the comparison of how each project had their own stylistic method of presenting their message and how it impacted the audience. I think it was interesting that the article makes a connection between the three separate projects. This is the idea of conversation, and although the “idea” of art is to create conversation, it explains that the three projects create an unintentional way to create a conversation and thought about thinking beyond the limits of how people are treated with limitations.
  • The concept in which the artist makes the audience interact with the art (referring to the works of James Turrell and Robert Irwin) and experience the aestheticism of the work that the artist presents through a duration of time rather than an instant and short viewing. 
  • The concept of the “new genre” of public art that is pretty much the hybrid of  named littoral art and relational aesthetics
Three questions I have are…

  • For clarification, is littoral art just another name for dialogical based public art or is littoral art a small faction of of dialogical based public art?
  • If a community had the desire to create art to transfer a certain critical message that they wanted to be known to the public but didn’t have the resources, what possible strategies could they have?
  • The article talks about the art produced by an individual compared to the art produced by a community. Is it wrong or inappropriate for the individual to produce art about and/or representing a community?

Issues that have been impacting my life and the ones around me mainly revolve around environmental issues. One of the pressing issues that affects the agriculture community in California is the State’s distribution of water. Now a tactic that the State Government has had for many years is to take water from Northern California and send it down to the South. The south is in need of water as they do not get enough to support themselves, but the issue is a bit larger and encompuses the states refusal to create more reservoirs to store water to be used during the dryer months. But the main issue is that the focus is uneven and falls heavily on the side of sending it to the south instead of distributing it evenly so farmers in all regions but mainly central and southern california have the proper amount of water to grow their crops. California is one of the leading states in the production and exporting of agriculture products due to our vast and wide scale of geological environments, but ...
