I appreciate traditional architecture, and mostly abhor modern architecture since most modern architecture is just about making a box of varied sizes (depending on how many people or conveyor belts you wanna fit in it) and more advanced architecture is mixing and matching more boxes (kinda like minecraft)
I once went to a rural village in china that was primarily (almost exclusively) populated by old houses utilizing traditional chinese architecture, it was heaven, you don’t properly realize how oppressive and dystopian the atmosphere that modern architecture creates is until you get a break from it.
The galaxy soho and heydar aliyev centers lok cool, but they’re missing a certain warmth and care that went into traditional architecture, it’s probably the dull flat and boring white color scheme. Maybe also the plain concrete and glass construction materials.
That last one you linked is honestly just butt ugly, museum of art? Well i’m not really surprised that a museum of art has an ugly design with no heart; it fits, most art museums these days are soulless husks. (Actually as far as I can tell, they’ve never been anything else in the first place)
Ah… sorry, I didn’t notice you had replied to another post further up.
I feel just ashamed now if I gave the impression that I had made “the piece” myself.
I wish I had the creativity and patience to do it but that is just a photo I made from a public bulletin board on a rainy day I did though some post editing, if that counts as an artistic contribution Sorry!
You read my mind Now i have to find something else
Small contributions might be akin to standing on the shoulders of giants. Anyway, great piece to look at, regardless of how many authorships it has, and the concept of art for the art’s sake could well push the limit of linearity in authorship. I love Pollock, especially since having seen his works in front of me (which also happened to me with works by Van Gogh and Rodin in a striking fashion).
That is an interesting way of looking at it. It reminds a bit of “participatory art” which invites the audience into the creative process, transforming them from passive observers into co-creators. But perhaps not fully applicable to photo I made from a part of public bulletin board on a rainy day.
Anyways, interesting to ponder about what could be art and what Art could be.
Now you made me jealous I have never had the opportunity to see his work “live” so to speak.
“Live”, the texture and relief give it a whole more depth. I remember feeling this at the time, and this was almost 20 years ago. I was awestruck, which is what art you connect with makes you feel, isn’t it? And if that feeling endures, there’s something wonderful about it. I can compare it to travelling, in that both leave an unforgettable image, feeling and situation for a whole lot of time. That’s also in the depth of a work of art. Is this thread also a bit about digressing?
May be one for Marcel Duchamp next time
