I was really fascinated by Robert Irwin’s work and the way his “final goal is inherently light.” I was especially drawn to the installation made up of florescent lights that spanned the space of an entire wall in his show. The unexpected use of traditional lighting was really striking.I also liked Irwin’s definition of art….

I really enjoyed Robert Irwins’ video and how he emphasizes that the key role if art is humans. I completely agree on his views that art should be something that brings you to a point where you’re aware, and connected you to something you are around all the time but not focusing on that object…

Robert Irwin Had very interesting ideas when it came to his works. He metioned that “art is art and so is everything else”. I thought this was the most interesting because technically art is all around us. We just never notice it because we see it all the time but just not aware of it….

I really loved the video we watched about Robert Irwin and hearing his philosophy on art/life. He wants to make art that makes you aware you’re around it all the time. He stressed the point of not having a frame so that the art is everywhere, it has no end and the viewer is surrounded…

Irwin brought up the topic of art and how it is almost always viewed through a context. In history this context has mostly been conventional. He explained that art has come a long way from political positions and religious topics to art becoming a tool to focus the viewer’s attention. This makes me think of…

I find the documentary on Robert Irwin, and his works, very interesting. He wants to eliminate imagery to make his paintings more interesting. When often people try to have their art resemble or relate to things and he is avoiding it. He doesn’t want to have his art have a beginning or an end. His…

I think that Goldsworthy and Pollock had similar thinking in how they made their works of art. Even though their styles of creating art so greatly differ, they both started off a piece with out a solid, thought out plan. Pollock did not know where every splash, line, or stroke was going to be placed….

I found the way the author of this article described Pollock’s work very interesting. It seems that Pollock’s work either caused intrigue or some feeling of darkness, or maybe even confusion. The article also says that he created magnificent paintings, but also destroyed painting. Because he was creating things people had never seen before and…

Our project related to the environment by letting the person entering the augmented space become like a force of nature. Just like wind, although you can not see it you know it is there, you can see moving tree branches and know that wind is there. This makes it like our project in that that…

With applications from the previous texts and the documentary, my project too reflects the surrounding environment we create for ourselves. That environment is one that is purely artificial and almost techno-organic in some regards. Our lives are more melded with technology rather than the natural world. Like Goldsworthy, I too use objects and materials that…

I think the Goldsworthy Documentary and the Pollock article have similar ideas. Goldsworthy stated in the documentary, “make something that is effortless.” I think Pollock was going for that same idea in his artwork, but he was doing it on a canvas instead of in nature. Neither Goldsworthy or Pollock represent the artists who have…
