Mid-Morning Art Thread

Current Disturbance
Mona Hatoum

Referencing both the human body and rigid systems of abstraction, the installation Current Disturbance 1996 is made from an immense grid of over 200 cages, light bulbs and the amplified sound of electric currents. As the bulbs light up and fade out at irregular intervals, they sporadically illuminate the surrounding gallery. Inside each of the cages rests a single lightbulb, all interconnected via a central convergence. Another single bulb is suspended inside the structure, illuminating the junction box at the centre. The grid of metal cages sets up a contrast between the sense of systematization and the chaos of randomised flashing lights and the mess of wiring covering the floor. The tension arising from this juxtaposition of elements serves to intensify the feeling of suspended energy and instability, inspiring a certain discomfort in the viewer.

There's more at this link, but even I am not cruel enough to subject you to it.

This would be a mildly amusing installation if it were not taken so seriously. The description is laughable, using the post-modern technique of obfuscation by vocabulary. None of those descriptors make any sense in the real art world of evocation of beauty and emotion!

13 I could see actual art created by using lighting but this is not that.

Hell I've seen examples where you set up lighting in such a way that you can play out a scene through shadows created by your lighting.

It does seem that in the past ages that art became famous for beauty and technical talent and in the modern era it becomes famous for ugliness and a lack of technical talent.

I suspect the answer to that for most people will be something from 50 years ago or more. Perhaps something from hundreds of years ago like the Sistine Chapel, the Mona Lisa, or a Rembrandt.

92 Wife and I went to NYC for one night last week. One of the places we went was the Guggenheim. The current installation is modern and some of it was decent. A lot of it was inscrutable to me. (wife is an Art Historian, she seemed to get the gist). But, apart from the current show, there was the Thannenbaum Gallery which seems to be permanent. That was very cool. I actually recognized the names of all the artists. Quite an assortment. Picasso, Manet, Degas, Van Gogh, Renoir, etc. Made the 30 dollar ticket worthwhile.

Worst of all, they're installed in places no longer accessible by a manlift, and so they strobe like a fucking disco.

147 Trying to be somewhat serious which is f'ing impossible.

Classical music went through something similar to this f'ing retarded concept art. After Beethoven every composer, to prove their artistic chops, kept pounding at blowing up tonality and harmony until they reached peak absurdity with the 12 tone system that essential had no tonal center. It is f'ing unlistenable. This is when God got pissed off and gave us 20th Century American Music and the backbeat.

There is plenty of modern art (or art from that last 100 years?) that has artists producing solid works that communicate something about a certain time, place, and subjects that make your mind and heart go somewhere; that make you stand in awe at the originality, the singular vision of a particular artist. This whacky concept art has no discernable artistic center that I can find. It is goofy public masturbation. It is the visual art version of the unlistenable 12 tone music.

I make my case with this 12 tone composition.

193 147 ... "After Beethoven every composer, to prove their artistic chops, kept pounding at blowing up tonality and harmony until they reached peak absurdity with the 12 tone system that essential had no tonal center."

I took a music composition course in 1972. One clown's 'composition' was to light a candle and wait through a few minutes of silence. No kidding. The professor gave him an A. I wasn't the only one who dropped that course.

And I would love to own a boater. I've looked, but haven't found one that really suits me yet.

If I had the money, I would hire the costumier from Jeeves and Wooster and have all my clothes made to early 1920s London aristocrat style. I'm too old to give a fuck what people think anymore, especially since I learned just how damned shallow several 'friends' are.

284 OT from hats:

This looks like the beautiful little star shaped wildflower spouse and I saw on our walk along with several large orange butterflies near some purple bee balm and some lovely orange colored rocks in the stream nearby .

I seem to have the most luck on a desktop PC

iPads can be a challenge, mostly as the day progresses and more content is added

287 267 "Benny and the Jets" was probably Elton's gayest hit.
--------------
I'd say all of his recordings are totes gay. Just watched the HBO Documentary on Billy Joel. Highly recommend. Other than they both play piano and sing Billy is clearly the real talent on song writing. Amazing amount of top 10 hits. Great story teller.

288 >>>RFD television, yes the same channel that brought back HeeHaw,

>Damn, I miss the Hee Haw Honeys. AOC could be a regular on Hee Haw but she'd be wearing a straw hat with holes in it for her ears.

289 Have an LED yardlight that started stroking after less than a year.
The HPS yardlight still working after more than 10 years. Same bulb.

Chinese quality control. All the ones I've seen don't guarantee what they claim, which is usually 12-13K hours for a "60W equivalent" LED bulb.

290 What is DU thinking this morning, you ask?

""Trump just posted a "Wanted" poster of Dem politicians on his social media page.

It has Obama, Samantha Powers, Comey and others with orange jumpsuits in "mugshots". I refuse to link to it. It is dangerous propaganda.

If you are interested you can see it on bluesky in a repost by Aaron Rupar who points out the elephant in the room here: he is trying to normalize arresting your political opponents.

The corporate media should not ignore this. On the contrary, it should be the lead story. Ignoring is normalizing."

291 UGH.
I do the same every Christmas except that my lights change color and sequence themselves in aesthetically pleasing patters in time to music.
That's rookie shit.

292 I didn't get the art at first, but then I realized "mona hartoum" is anagram for "am no ur motha".

It's really obvious once you realize it, and it makes the artwork so, so beautiful.
