Imagine Howard Carter entering king Tut's burial chamber, squeezing himself between the walls and the shrine, just to open it and find the cyberfiminism index over the sarcophagus.
got a huge kick out of the tangent re: chinatown signage/keeping the old awnings---very well put, & something i've joked about with friends for a while. it reminds me of occasionally seeing hipsters in FDNY or dept. of sanitation gear. a vision of "authentic" nyc, reduced to an enviable wardrobe piece. why not go all the way? take this NYPD t shirt and go hang out with my uncles at the knights of columbus in sheepshead bay. i'm sure they would think you're swell.
Really like some of ur takes + I learn some new words every vid. What general course of action did you take to come to learn about art and philosophy and all that? Fine arts uni? Books? Trying to learn more
Escape pod pessimism peanut. Until the actual end it's a pretty bulky book shelf; and I don't think it will weather well, but I like the inconvenience of both pieces. Thanks for the video, I was just thinking about you yesterday hoping that you would put something up
The architectural cocoony peanut thing made me think about a period when I was in art school in NY and was affected by seeing the organic architecture/organic architecture concepts of Eugene Tsui, Hermann Finsterlin, Gaudi, and Frederick Keisler. This was stuff I saw in magazines and books, it wasnt something I was exposed to in school, and it didn't have much to do with the New York City environment I was in. Seems like the piece is more connected to African structures though. Watching the video, I imagined that the piece was a collaboration, the cocoonitecture was done by one person and then the corny pretentious boyfriend put in a mirror face skeleton and some books and stuff. Then I realized it was one person, and I imagined that he had dissociative identity disorder, and one personality was a cocoonitecture personality, and that personality was dating the pretentious green skeleton boyfriend personality. This made me wonder how often people's multiple personalities date each other, and how often it results in art getting messed up.
Maybe there’s good reasoning behind the monument being joined together with cheap wood screws outside of simple utility, but I think it reflects the genuine lack of know-how of technique in true craftsmanship. Doweling maybe far-reaching, but a seamless bonding with an adhesive of some kind would’ve made that piece have a greater impact on the viewer. Even a smaller gauge nail. What’a ya gonna do though? I’m not expecting to be impressed these days.
I just watched the entire series up to current episode. I wasn't sure if what I was watching was good initially, but the fact that you went into several exhibitions and basically called them crap piqued my interest. As a layman, I almost always have this same experience, but after another recent frustrating experience at Chicago's Art Institute I began to inquire on why I can't often can't appreciate art. Your series put a lot of those feelings into words. Obviously you are well read on art and have thought about it for years, but how did you develop your point of view on visual art? I saw you had The Story of Art by Gombrich...
It's funny when Taylor and Stephanie are talking about the Peanut work towards the end and then he walks out while Stephanie stays for the shot, but since they were just talking it feels like Taylor's going like "see ya"
@@TheYearbookCommitteeNYC She is transfixed, staring at the cliche mirror face, pondering the juxtaposition of her transcendental mortality. I mentioned 'juxtaposition' so now it's "art speak"
I can't say for certain that Fall isn't just throwing those books at us to say ‘read this to understand my art,’ but I had a different understanding. In conversation with the piece's apocalypse, their inclusion seemed to be gesturing towards the texts' futility.
yeah, i got a lot more of the impression that the books were akin to the skeleton with the mirror for a face. also i think it may have been intentional that most of the books were unread, uncreased, without underlines / annotations ( i saw the work in person )
I guess Richard Serra really is dead. Good thing his work is built well enough to fare pretty well through an apocalypse due to its poor carbon footprint.
Nut shell write up went dummy.
But the comment about hip gallery signage took the cake for me.

0:34 I thought this stairway more interesting than either exhibit. Maybe the pieces are very good, but it's a very interesting stairway.

the inner personalities being distinct but not inseparable from one another, is the only reason the art is expressed in the first place

Your videos are my art education

She decided she wanted to live inside the peanut.
Legend has it that she’s still filming

Lol R.I.P.
I feel fine
what about ruins of empire 2 did you find lacking?
Anti-Trump hysteria as sculpture. Mainstream liberal discontent. Art posing as politics in a totally ineffectual way.
@@TheYearbookCommitteeNYC christgau in the comment section
@ I follow you! I read You Mi article and it made me think about how ineffective the political art of the last two election cycles have really been.
Chopsticks for giants
Nathan? Is that you?
I hate reading
