This is horrible
This is not how to understand or find the value in art. Engagement obsession is a sickness. You’d think “we” would have figured that out by now. https://t.co/GeSVT6VJlE— Mike Rugnetta (@mikerugnetta) July 17, 2021

The cameras are ugly as shit and that could be redone but I don't see the idea as necessarily horrible? This seems more like something to help study and plan exhibit flow and crowd maintenance.

i guess it depends on what the museum is for: the best art, or the most popular art
― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Sunday, 1 August 2021 19:40 (two years ago) link
or, replace "popular" with eye-grabbing, controversial, or even "has figures in it"

xps - Museums have a pretty good idea of the most popular art already, I expect (and this kind of work has been done forever just with actual people doing the observing)?
From the researchers -
Some of the researchers’ findings have been unexpected. Examining observer data from the two sides of a 14th-century diptych by Vitale degli Equi, data showed that “attention was immediately attracted to the ‘busier’ representation of Saint Peter’s blessing, to the right,” said Bologna Musei President Roberto Grandi. He was surprised to find that many visitors simply skipped the diptych’s left half.“Does it have to do with the fact that while someone observes an artwork, a glimpse of another one works its way into the corner of the eye?” Grandi asked. “Or is it a question of layout logistics? We have no magic formulas, but the more objective information we get, the more we can improve our offerings.”The data could lead to changes in lighting, staging and placement of artworks in relation to one another, Grandi said, with findings suggesting that museums and galleries might want to rethink how to make some paintings and sculptures more visible and accessible.

That doesn't seem objectionable at all - if this research does help with spacing to get people to spend more time looking at art they'd glance at and then get distracted by something else, that's good right?

the Olafur Eliasson One-Way Colour Tunnel in the Oculus Bridge at SFMOMA is also beautiful
― Dan S, Saturday, 28 August 2021 01:55 (two years ago) link
someone did an installation throughout the entire length of Woolwich tunnel in the 90's. I can't vividly remember what they did. Possibly it was luminous squares in repetition or something. At the time it grew on me and was like ..wow you really get some cutting edge public art in the big smoke. Now I'd have this bitter old cynic voice in my head cursing all the posh, talentless Goldsmiths cunts who did it to hell!
― calzino, Saturday, 28 August 2021 02:17 (two years ago) link
I haven't seen any of Eliasson's stuff in person to the best of my recollection, even though i'm pretty sure he's had a million solo gallery shows in NYC.
Was the "One-Way" part strictly enforced? Do you have to wait in line if you want to walk through it again? Were people taking selfies in it? I'm just wondering what trying to see a piece like that involves these days.

There was a show of Helio Oiticica's penetrables here a few years ago, they made you sign a wavier but once you did that, it was pretty much anything goes. I think I did running jumps onto one of the penetrables. There was another one that could be described as a "color tunnel" but obv a very different kind of thing, and you got a cup of orange juice at the end.

That is so fucking shit!
geez, so it's not ok to just "like" some paintings that do not attempt to push the boundaries of art, but simply exhibit an appreciation of past techniques by applying them to a subject the artist wanted to paint? it's not like they were raving about those paintings as pure genius.
If those paintings are "fucking shit" then what distinguishes your dismissal from the French Academy painters who dismissed the original post-impressionists?
― it is to laugh, like so, ha! (Aimless), Saturday, 28 August 2021 02:31 (two years ago) link
I can't imagine how that would work now.
Also there was the James Turrell show at the Guggenheim around the same time, which was amazing obviously and it was like this deeply meditative experience of lying on the floor for ages until it broke you, like Lazer Floyd for grownups.
― The 25 Best Songs Ever Ranked In Order (Deflatormouse), Saturday, 28 August 2021 02:34 (two years ago) link
xp i believe those are "original" works of post-imprrssionism and that the judgement that they're shit has nothing to do with any failure to push boundaries
― The 25 Best Songs Ever Ranked In Order (Deflatormouse), Saturday, 28 August 2021 02:37 (two years ago) link
So you've formulated objective criteria for judging a painting as "shit" and presumably can communicate these so that anyone may see precisely where they attain shitiness as opposed to merely failing to attain the higher reaches of art? I'd be very happy to have you share this superior knowledge so that I amy no longer be taken in by liking something I ought see a pure shit. It would be a public service!

David G. Goodman - Angura: Posters Of The Japanese Avant-Garde
This is specifically posters for theatre from 60s-70s. It's a very slim book but an interesting overview of the time, along with the posters and there's photos of performances. There's a lot of focus on the rejection of modernism and designs that would be internationally accessible, because they wanted to reclaim things like the disreputable side of Kabuki and other parts of japanese culture that were getting buried. We also see what parts of western culture they were embracing.
Some of it leans towards psychedelic, some photo collage and there's several famous manga artists. My favorite is Oikawa Masamichi because of his detailed rendering style. Goodman gives commentary for each poster and he sees lots of sexual symbolism I don't. There's a bibliography at the back including plays that have been translated into english (this book is from 1999 though).
I know next to nothing about avant-garde theatre but I was intrigued by the ideas: distinctions between very different seeming things fading into chaos; a play's second act having a real bus journey that takes the audience to an apartment to interview the people who live there; a Shuji Terayama play that none of the audience gets to see the whole of, so the different segments of the audience has to share what happened in the parts they did see to construct the whole story.

Questionable thread to put this in but I couldn't think of a better thread: The Last Family (2016), a biopic about Zdzislaw Beksinski and his family (his radio DJ/music critic/translator son Tomasz gets the second most attention) is great, doesn't follow the usual biopic patterns either (or I didn't notice them).

During lockdown, I got a bit addicted to Sotheby's and Christie's Youtube channels, the auctions can make you a bit queasy but before each auction livestream they often float out these short films, dedicated to the painter and painting for sale, and they can be very illuminating.
