There was a lot to reflect on in these three artists’ work. I thought that Judy Pfaff’s progression into the sculpture work was interesting– she used to paint, and then her professor encouraged her to try something new, and now she’s welding (by the way I felt extreme anxiety watching her weld without gloves on). I really love Liz Magic Laser’s discussion and commentary on politicians and their lack of decorum as a performance piece and I really enjoyed watching her work with the actors on trying to get the delivery correct. I think the one person I was particularly unnerved by was Jeff Koons. I think going into these videos I wasn’t entirely aware of how many assistants are involved in sculptor’s work, and it feels weird that they aren’t really credited. The painting stuff was also weird–– they mentioned it’s 3 real-life painters to a painting that Jeff rendered on a computer, which felt unusual after Jeff mentioned he doesn’t run a huge factory to produce his work… but given the shots of at least 30 or more people working on his stuff at a time, I don’t think I entirely believe that.
