When first looking at this performance I was very confused to a why. I though he was burning artworks that he had (not only his own) maybe because he was running out of space or wanted to make a critic. Then I understood that he was burning his own work.
Baldessari took paintings from 13 years of his earlier carrer to a crematorium and performed the whole ritual of when a person is cremated, including getting a bronze plaque for the burial.
The performance was a metaphor for the death of his old style (abstract) in order to ''free'' space for his new one. Also it is said that the artist was moving, so it was very convenient to get rid of the pieces he no longer considered relevant.
After researching more into this performance, I actually respect the work he put into it and the metaphor of burring an ''old self'', but although I understand and know that many other artist did similar I'd probably never do such thing.

This mini documentary states something I already suspected: everything is a copy (a copy with an addition if well done). That's a fact worthy of an existential crisis. Is it worth creating when everything has already been created? How do I avoid making more of what already exists? This questions often disturb me.
Nevertheless I like his take on creativity: it comes from inspiration and the ability to transform and combine what already exists.
To create something that matters it's needed to recognize what has already been done and figure out how it can be done better.

One of the most important artists of the 20th century in the realm of color and Kinects.
It's very refreshing to see how his Chromosaturation installations took different forms throughout the years. While maintaining the concept, the way it's applied changes but still produces the same effect on the person who experiences it.

Each work notes how colors manifest themselves depending on the circumstances they are presented. Like the Tranchomie, composed of colored transparent strips, deals with subtraction according to the position of the viewer and the other colors surrounding them as well the intensity of the light.

Although I'm not super fond of Murakami's work, his paintings are truly amazing. All the paintings featured on the exhibition were full of layers, characters and stories, even the simplest ones --like the black skulls below -- were full of complexity.
Like an organized mess, all the elements in the frame have a reason to be there as it is noticeable in his sketches.
One admirable thing about Murakami's work is the ability of being applied in all sorts of medias, from animations to paintings and sculptures. I wouldn't expect to see many 3D works from a modern pop culture artist, but he really doesn't limit himself, often collaborating with other artists and brands, he flaunts his art in every way possible.

''Harmony can be defined as a pleasing arrangement of parts.''
Analogous and complementary colors are color schemes based on harmony.
A color is perceived differently depending on the color with which is combined. It is very interesting to see how their shape seem to change size and saturation.
Although color harmony is very important, there are always exceptions to these rules. Color combinations that shouldn't be made, but might look good are a worthy discovery.

Looking at this CMYK colored puzzle and the 3D globe made up of 540 colors it gives me an idea of how the colors of my puzzle would behave with each other.
The globe puzzle with gradients is much more fun as it allows to assemble it in a different way from the template. I really liked this format and now I'm thinking about going for the globe. The thing is I'm not really sure if I'll find a supplier for that and it would probably be expensive.

Elisa Riemer is a Brazilian collage artist, having female and mysticism as the main subjects of her work.
Tired of seeing mostly male characters in Tarot's decks and not being able to see herself in them, the artist decided to explore female energy when creating her own cards. She also renames them, using female terms and pronouns instead of male ones.
There really is no pattern for her collages(digital or manual) but the artist usually looks for her female figures in postcards from the 1890-1930, having that Belle Époque look.

Daniel's minimalist work is very resembling of dadaists artists, in many projects there is an ironic tone to it and he is also constantly doing experimentations, like with the felt pens that resulted in abstract ''paintings''
In this collaboration with Andy Holden for a rock band, people would draw onto the picture disks while the band's vinyl was playing. Some people would move the pen, while others would just let it sit through the songs and the results were different for each and every one of the pictures disks.

It's amazing to see how books are able to transform and morph into so many different things. These books became circular objects for a site-specific sculpture.
I don't know if it was intentional but looking at them from above -- like they're placed -- reminds me of nature or some sea element, like a coral. The reason for that being not only their shape, but also their browinsh color, which creates some nuances from the newer books to the aged ones.

At 1950's the artist, influenced by Duchamp, started working with chance and randomness.
Just a few of his many works related to color, Spectrum colors Arranged by Chance is a series of eight collages made up of hundreds squares of color randomly placed on paper. Each collage used a different system to be made and the artist said that he wanted to learn more about color relationships.
I'd like to work with color as it's very interesting to see how they react with each other, especially when they are picked out randomly.

Beshty produces glass boxes the size of FedEx shipping boxes and then uses the service to ship them to galleries and exhibitions.
Each time the sculptures were exhibited in a different location they would go back to the boxes and shipped again, resulting in a constant changing sculpture, which  might arrive without a scratch or totally shattered at the destination.
He uses chance and movement to create this work and is filled randomness and uncertainty.

Callan seems to want to explore every aspect of a book and I can't blame him, books are indeed a very interesting object.
His sculptures that mix books with other materials, like silicone or plaster, have a very intriguing result that is the contrast between such a organic matter like the paper of the books with a synthetic material, like the rubber.
These relations between materials is what I plan to explore, filling the solid books with liquids.

Being fond of geometry, circles are constantly present in Reynaldo's pieces, these being collages, objects or books.
The artist states that one of the reason he likes working with books it's being able to explore the sense of memory that they arouse, which can be associated with the circles as well, being that they represent timelessness and the infinite.
His outcomes look very beautiful and polished, I didn't intent to do something pretty but when I saw Candia's books I saw this was a possibility.

Filipe is one of my favorite letterers, he works with old school elements and also simpler lettering.
Painted letters and handmade signs are a very classic custom which recalls traditional establishments.
Some lettering would benefit both restaurants, but Paladar da Vila especially, which is more traditional and reminiscing of old days.
Nevertheless, Ilminha's white car would look great with some hand painted lettering and elements, such as the Churros cart below.

Cecilia's vibrant color scheme is extremely important to set the tone of the room - meant to look like a beauty parlor - but what also pops a lot are the shapes used, which the artist translated some of  the 18th century architectural details by James Gibbs, found in the historic square at Barts, into a colorful arrangement of flat geometrical shapes.
But bear in mind that the artist studied Theatre Design, so she has a great scenographic eye.

In her series ''Paleta'' the artist relates animals -- an usual subject in her work-- with our XXI century modern world.
The use of the colors, which was one of the first things that caught my eye, produces a very plastic feeling. The taxidermy animals and the meat look very out of place in front of this monochromatic pink and blue scenario, which is remindful of a doll house or some plastic toy.
The animals, next to the ultra-processed meat makes the composition quite disturbing, something uncomfortable to look at. That's probably because we are not used to seeing the meat we consume next to animals, we tend to dissociate their figure from our ''food''. I don't think she is actually making a vegetarian critic but it just can't be separated from the work.
The ultra-processed meat she chooses to display is another reminder of the plasticity of our modern world and the fact that we take these living beings and make them into almost synthetic products for our consumption and often times is the closest we get from nature/animals.

Danish-Icelandic artist, recently had an exhibition at Tate composed of 40 works.
Olafur's installations are undeniable beautiful and very Instagramable, which can be an issue because it attracts many people just for a picture and end ups leaving others questioning the artist's intentions with them.
Nature often is a subject in his work, it seems like he wants to take his experiences (what he feels in nature) and expand it to share with others. What he does greatly, producing huge installations that fill up the room they are in.

The artist first set fire to a piano in the streets of Hobart, Tasmania to use it for her grand installation, entitled ''In Silence'', in which she reflects about the absence of sound.
I'm not really sure if the burning of the piano was meant to be a performance itself or if it was just meant for the installation, but I know that it resulted in great pictures.
The black thread attaching the piano to the chairs intentionally resembles smoke and arouses a feeling of emptiness as if a concert was meant to happen but for some shared reason people couldn't show up. It also evokes a sense of loneliness as a collective, even though people are sharing something they are still alone.

Inspired by Shiota’s own traumatic memories as a child, having witnessed her neighbor’s house burn down. The charred piano is a direct memory of her neighbor’s grand piano blazed up in smoke.

It's astonishing to see how she maintains this palette of black, white and red through out her work. The artist usually addresses the human body and her own experiences, with her sickness often being part of the subject, which explains the great use of red, relating to blood.

Kruger uses the techniques of mass communication and advertising with B&W pictures and impactful texts, which became her signature look.
Having a style that people automatically recognize when they see it it's great, it helps the artist to become remarkable. It might not be fundamental but I do believe it's important and it's what I aim to do some day.
Her use of black and white imagery and short phrases is enough for the viewer to grasp the message, which is very important for street art or protests, at least if you want to impact as many people as possible.
Simplicity is one of the best ways to pass a message through, that's why I intend to do something that is as straightforward as Barbara's collages.

This short movie consists of a black screen playing several nearly extinct and/or endangered  languages.
The movie is extremely touching, while watching it everyone was paying close attention, partly because of it's sentimental value, partly because of the curiosity it piqued on us for hearing languages that we never even imagined existed.
While at it I was also thinking how hard it must have been to find these recordings and people, which makes the work much more valuable.
If the video had actual footage of the people we hear the interpretation would be totally biased. Not seeing how these people look is fundamental in this work. Their appearance is all left to our imagination or not at all, maybe those voices don't really need a face.

Feminist activist group of anonymous artists who prefer to keep it that way so the focus is all on the issues that they address and not on themselves.
Since 1985 they have been exposing gender and ethnic bias on the art/pop culture industry as well calling out museums, galleries and collectors for unethical practices.
The group is very important for the pop culture  and art industry which are supposed to be progressive, but as they reveal often it is not.
I admire how they make themselves easily understood, most of the times only using short texts and very simple design.
They also use stats and facts  without making them sound boring. Stats serve to validate their protests in a way, they are important to give the causes credibility and to show how serious they are.

Folly being located in the middle of nature far away from other installations and having to walk trough some ''trail'' to get to it endorses the magical feeling it's supposed to have.
When looking at the gazebo from the outside you have no idea what awaits inside. Right when entering it's like stepping in some other dimension.
Folly is and invitation to enjoy the moment and let go, be fully present with the dancers and people accompanying you, really listen to the music and let ourselves loose. Me and my colleagues all left there feeling weightless and hoping to come back soon enough.

Polka dots and repetitive patterns are Yayoi's thing. She has a sort of obsessive way of making art, caused by her mental illness probably.
In this immersive installation she creates a ''familiar'' environment, a living room, filled with furniture, where it seems to have everything but paradoxically there is nothing.
As the artist said she translates her hallucinations into art works and thinks only about herself when doing so.

In this untitled installation, the artists puts alongside 30 tvs and dvds playing videos of animals in their natural habitats (nature) and videos of animals doing something that is not of their nature purely for human entertainment and to go viral on the internet.
Even though we think these animals on home made videos are cute, when looking at the other videos we realize that they shouldn't be there and be explored and made fun of simply for our amusement.
I am really fond of video installations. The way this one is presented, very symmetrical and in the middle of the ambience is spot on for the message it wants to get across.

The artist took a classic thing -Marseille's tarot cards - and made a contemporary rereading, in which he criticizes capitalism by using pop culture symbols(ifood/scooter) that are very recognizable. The card illustrates the journey of precarious work, social inequality and the collapse of capitalism we are living.
Taking appropriation of classic elements to relate to modern days is usually a success, having something you already know with a twist.
The choice of using primary colors is fundamental to deliver the message, being very familiar colors, red, blue and yellow are greatly used in publicity.

Although some of his predictions concretized, such as Napoleon's and Hitler's Ascension and the 9/11, they were very vague and were made for the next 2000 years, which is a pretty long time.
Since they're really vague is not very hard to relate them to such happenings and considering the time that Nostradamus lived in (during the plague) disasters, famine and death were a reality, the time being definitely influenced the astrologer and his predictions

Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king?
What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer
Who don't believe in anything?

Will he make it out alive?
Alright, alright
No church in the wild

''On face value, these lines refer to ideas such as Great Chain of Being, a hierarchy of life with God at the top and kings above all other humans. Asking “what’s a god to a non-believer?” is a way of subverting the chain. Not only is the non-believer not ruled by god, to him he doesn’t even exist.

The subtle message is that power derives from belief, something Kanye and Hov have both discussed in their solo work. Humans in a mob are only less powerful than a king because they believe they are. The same can be argued with the other comparisons; political and religious systems thrive only as long as we continue to believe in them.''

After studying at the Royal Academic of Music, Cardew worked as a graphic designer, that's when he composed Teatrise.
He took 4 years to compose this 193 pages of lines, symbols and shapes meant to be open to the interpretation of whoever is playing,  where each performance is unique.
''While at Aldus, Cardew says that he became “occupied more and more with designing diagrams and charts” and became “aware of the potential eloquence of simple black lines in a diagram”.''

Looking at graphic scores, Cardew's was one of my favorites, minimalism art was prospering at the time he composed this and is a type of art that I'm very keen on. The black and white lines and their fluidity make Teatrise elegant as an usual music sheet but much more interesting.

Besides the several problematics on the topic of the video, the 60's aesthetics is beautiful.
It's always interesting to look at the past, but what fascinates me is how people behaved back then and how it changed over the years.
This type of material might be useful in the future, not sure how or why yet, but it might.
