To All:
I've had a short back&forth post with a fellow fluxlister
about art/study - my first thought was that, as a visual
artist, I couldn't think of anyone I'd like to study with.
Got me to thinking - most of the artists I would invisage
tutelage are no longer around: to wit;
Marcel Broodthaers: (nothing short of hero worship there)
for his ability to transmit his thoughts into the visual,
for his dimension that never tires, in the visual, & the
other senses, and which will live on and inspire me.
Imogen Cunningham: for her innovative and inspired vision.
Tina Modotti: for her intellect, her romance and talent and
beautiful imagery.
Come to think of it, the living artists would be:
Nigel Poor: for her vision that transcends what I see and
makes me see again
Rebecca Bollinger: I will never forget her digital imagery
of children transmitted onto an entire gallery of cookies.
Invoked all the senses - love, art, home, cookies!
David Ireland: Capp Street Project. Impossible to
describe. He is loved. He is the best.
Glen Baxter: I'd study with him in an instant, just for the
laughter.
Hiroshi Sugimoto: Hmmmmmmmm. (Make that a couple of hours
of exposure for one take)
Cluck Close: I'd just like to talk with him for a couple of
days. He's courageous, and talented and much more.
That's my list for today...
What about yours?
Best,
PK
