Jan Handrix, Lamento (Lament) It's an installation inside the Memory and Tolerance Museum in Mexico City. It's a memorial for children killed during genocides. It's what looks like thousands upon thousands of glass bubbles suspended inside a cube. It's overwhealming when you think of them as children. Like tears suspended in time. It's a beautiful representation of tragedy.
‘Massacre of the innocents’ was kind of like that to me at the AGO, I don’t even go to see to that part of the space because of that feeling when I go there. That whole Thompson exhibits got that feel, I think. I just stand there with out going in thinking this feeling, i guess. Mind you, I have spent a good amount of time in there. I didn’t know there was a word to describe something like that, haha.
I'm interested in the concept of "abject art." So many artists incorporate Julia Kristeva's concept of the abject in art, artists like Cindy Sherman, Loise Bourgeois, Kiki Smith, and Judy Chicago to name a few. PLEASE do a video on this topic. My classes don't cover it and my teachers are repelled by it. Is this art?
Yes! It’s time to give sublime art, especially abstract, a chance to comfort patients instead of hanging cliches in waiting/emergency rooms.
You are thinking about this to much, it is a visual experience unique to every individual. Thanks for sharing, I like.
