Tuesday 30th September 2014 - Notes

An artist represents the time they're living in.

Brancusi, Tino Seghal, Jeff Koons, Pipilotti Rist, Helen Martin (look her up), Ed Adkins, Hito Steyen, Hannah Darboven

"Every artist's problem is to invent himself." Roger Motherwell

Andrea Zittel.

'Con-artist' - don't understand, it's all just a trick.

Having a ritual... 'The victory over the sun' artwork.

Table Coffee - Painting is the top and added legs - Is it a joke? Interesting, thought provoking.

Point of being able to alienate yourself from day to day.

André Cadere - Series of 'bars of round wood' - about 1,000 of them. Coloured wood. A system. Always included an error within that color system. Always turned up with his stick (his own artwork). People got pissed off. Picture of his and his stick at an Andy Warhol exhibition/private view. Always displaying his artwork.

Art and non-art have always been connected.

Donald Judd - body buried under a blanket.

Hunt out empty space.

Theaster Gates - video. 12 ballads for Huguenot House. Ambitious project involving renovation of an abandoned house in Kassel, Germany for the exhibition dOCUMENTA. Materials deserve a new life. Re-activate them. Made from remains of Chicago building. Beauty of the decay of the house. 'Rebuild foundation'. Living in the building has brought love into the space. Own concerns.
