man & beast
sylvia:
besides cuteness and grossness i think i also have some kind of obsession with the relationship between beast and man. is there even a line? it reminds me of the guy who lived with the kyote and had the felt? if anyone knows the name of the artist i would really appreciate it.
im hitting a few birds with one stone here, so lets get started...
"the world is a dangerous place" 2004
this is the work of kate james and i found this image really powerful. the horse could kill her if he wanted to be spiteful of all of the times people have pulled on his poor mouth. i guess thats the difference between animals and us, they are less spiteful. um, i like the connections this piece makes. she is an australian artist / craftsperson, a graduate of RMIT. probably not pivotal to our knowledge but i just like this image allot. interesting use of media aswell. discovered her in a small section at the back of Artlink vol 25 #1
so, the art scene is totally going off in Lisbon at the moment. Portugal is where its at. had heaps of crazy artwork exhibited in a new gallery which recently opened called "Graca Brandao Gallery".
found this in Contemporary issue 54. Pilar Albarracin did this performance art titled "she-wolf" it has the cuteness of red riding hood and the scary-ness-factor (which is another thing i like) of having a luncheon with a wolf. um. i like it, something about being in a room with an animal which can kill you is a total adrenaline rush. the performance would have been wicked. i like the images because they look so... peaceful? and like chill. i cant explain, bad at all this art interpreting shit, but feel free to help me out g-units. oh yeah its like whos the lunch the wolf or the lady. and like the wolf doesnt even eat her after he sees she is wearing his friend. totally proves my theory that animals arent spiteful.

Hey Sylvia I believe that guy who lived with the coyote was Joseph Beuys. The 1974 work was called I Like America and America Likes Me where he spent five days living with a coyote in a New York Gallery. Forgot to mention in my blog on Oleg Kulik that his piece "I Bite America and America Bites Me" was a play on this title and was also looking at the blurred line between man and beast.
