I appreciate art as much as music. I just wanted to know what artists you think are intersting especially cutting edge, controversial artists(that are still alive and producing right now). My favorite artists are: Damien Hirst (visual, installations etc.) Daim (german graffiti artist) The Mac (graffiti) etc. There are many more, cant remeber names will post later. You can look up Damien Hirst on the internet, unforunately it doesn't show his best stuff online :( and you can find work by Daim, the mac on www.artcrimes.com. |

actually architecture is the real art I think... funcionalism and visual emotions all together towards future... read this book: s,m,l,xl (by OMA) architecture is the total art. look for koolhas, mvrdv, thurmton... |

Thanx man=) i had a look and i must say i liked Rebbeca Horn's and Panamarenko's stuff the best. That "Areomodeller" is crazy. Should be used in a music video me thinks. |

no,I don't know that. I saw her work for the first time in the href=http://www.serpentinegallery.org>serpentine gallery< in london It was a free exhibitin,and it was sooo cool! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
... This was one of the works they showed, You could walk through it,you could sit in it,and that's what I did for 2 hours! It felt so special. |

i like escher, van gogh, and picASSo |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
my all time fav' would be francis bacon , Manet,Paul strand (photographer) Alexander Rodchenko (photographer) they are all kind of linked with the way they see things its all a bit different or twisted way of seeing the world . i guess thats why i like them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

What do you think of this? The photographer is called Joel Peter Witkin. He is very controversial. Not all of it is real,but it does look real. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
supreme : i know his work really well , its amazing. i saw his work in an exhibition in Glasgow. wow! most of his work is real . he borrows corpses form morgues(sorry) and the strange looking people in the pictures volonteer. the worst (best) one is penis stretch with possiblitity of face crush ....!!! ouch. (appologies about spelling) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
omg! My teacher told me it wasn't . (maybe he didn't want to shock us,we were 12 years old,and we found this book in the school library) I really don't know what to think now..... Actually it doesn't change my appreciation for his work. |
||||||||
|

supreme ; do u just like art , or are u an artist or something? |
||||||||

I like art I don't know I'm an artist. I went to an art school since I was 12 years old. I can draw,I can paint,I can make sculptures,I can make and develop photographs,.... (I made one sculpture and a photograph based on the Beautiful story of Izanagi and Izanami . Uzim knows that story ) Then I went to study Fashion design ,in the Royal Academy of Antwerp,Fashion Department. This school is known all over the world. I had 6 (!) Japanese people in my class, And a lot of other foreign students. About 20 % of our class was Belgian. ...but I didn't pass the first year. =( Next year I'm going to study Theatrecustumedesign,in the same school. so Am I an artist? I don't know. I'm probably not good enough to make it.... |

|
|
...whoa! I gave you guys my whole biography! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
supreme; wow thats some pretty impressive biography... try not to put yours self down . i totally know the feeling. im always doing it myself , its really hard to think about doing well for yourself in the visual arts world. im trying to convince my self that i'll be ok too. im studing at Glasgow school of art doing photography, its scary sh*t |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yay! I'm 20 years old and I already have an impressive Biography! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont' give in to the bullshit . you've got this far, not many people get to where u are now. belive in your work. and other people will too. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks! I'll think about it. =o) Good luck with the photography! ;) |

Supreme... that Erwin Olaf stuff is some crazy shit. Really kitsch like David Lachapelle. I liked some of it, lke the Royal Portraits and some of the ads where the people look like Cabbage Patch kids. Is it all straight photography or digital also? you know who you probably like a lot, Matthew Barney, seems totally your style. Joel Peter Witkin is powerful as fuck. You can't look at his work without having a reaction. I go to art college too and also am 20. I am not going to make it either. We had a portfolio review at my school where magazines and businesses came to look at our work, and those people totally made me feel like my work sucked. They said my type of photography wasn't what they were looking for and I showed them videos I've done, and they didn't know how to react. It sucks, because I'm not good at BSing and selling myself. And as artists that's what we have to do. |

do any of you know the organizations iCE, ACiD, FiRE, etc.? for many years i used to head PHUX, i might bring it back again in the summer. if i do i'll let you guys know; so many of you have amazing talent and i'd love to have you contribute to the group's releases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Never heard of them... but I'd be interested. Phux sounds interesting, and I'm from Baltimore so DC is really close. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is really cool. i've actually never met half of my (former) roster; one half were real-life friends and acquaintances, the other half were internet acquaintances. i'll post you a message if/when i bring PHUX back this summer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But What is it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's original artwork compiled. people make whatever they like and i assemble everything together in "packs" (group releases) and put them on the (now non-existent) web site for everyone to look at. every artist gets credit for his or her work and is expected to be original/themselves. sometimes i try to get people to follow a certain theme but it's not necessary. the art is mostly photoshop stuff but we've published everything from paintings to pen doodles to silk screen designs to collages to photography. i had planned to bring in a lit section before the site (unexpectedly) went down in jan 2000. |

Regital: Thanks for the tip. I'll check Matthew Barney. ... I did a google search,and It looks like I have a favourite artist more.... Thans very much again! I know exactly how you feel. After I didn't pass in the fashion academy,I was so confused and disappointed,.... There's nothing you can do .... I'm going to give it one more try(with theatrecostume..),and if I fail,I just accept I'm not as good as I wanna be.... |

matthew "mr. bjork" barney.. yea phux was great, and quite successful too. i think it peaked at 30 artists. i'm interested in bringing it back, though i don't make art nearly as much as i used to. anyone here is more than welcome to contribute, it's supposed to be fun. |

Titsworth... I'd be interested in contributing, just post when you are ready. Supreme, Don't give up. 96% of the people who graduate from art related colleges don't go on to be artists. There are many reasons why, such as need for money, lack of support, lack of art community, etc. I do art not because I want to but because I need to. I couldn't just stop doing it. There is a really good saying that goes, "The only person that cares about your art is you." And that's true, but that's all that matters. If you do for you, other people will eventually see what you see, but it takes time, and that's the toughest part. Even if no one ever does at least you'll be satisfied. At least this is what I keep telling myself. Being unsure and doubting your art is natural and good. I don't think any artist is confident in what they make, even Witkin and Olaf. That's the exciting part. Art would be so boring if you knew people were going to automaticly like it, and stale if someone didn't hate it. Yeah, anyway Matthew Barney is good, but it's almost impossible to see his films. I think he just finished the series of 5 films centering around the theme of Cremaster and the testicles descending in men through puberty. They've screened his videos at my college and that is the only reason I've seen them. They are elaborate, with costumes, theatres, fashion, sculpture and huge sets. They really remind me of Olaf's Royal Blood Series stylisticly and you should check them out. |

I forgot some artist: ORLAN!!! Orlan is a French performance artist whose most recent work is herself. Entitled The Reincarnation of Saint Orlan, she has since May 1990 undergone a series of plastic surgical operations to transform herself into a new being, modelled on Venus, Diana, Europa, Psyche and Mona Lisa. This is the result: I'm going to look for a link for Amanda LePore too,she's also a body artist. |
