The Delightfully Disturbing Conceptual Art of Michael Joo | Brilliant Ideas Ep. 3

- Michael Joo is an artist who freely explores genres of sculpture, performance, video art and installation. His experiences dictate how he approaches diverse topics, with keywords spanning from identity, nature, humanity and even politics. His art radiates from a singular identity to a universal identity, and at times reaches out to something else altogether, making him one of the most enigmatic artists in contemporary art today.
The third episode of “Brilliant Ideas” presented by Bloomberg and Hyundai delves into Joo’s insight and fierce passion for art. It’s a passion that is expressed in layers, just as his works are thick with meaning, and subject to deep and wide array of possible interpretations.
The nietchze quote about people who want to seem profound strive for obscurity, and profound people strive to be clear comes to mind.
You just don't see little gems like this anymore on TV. Thank you.
I feel sort of comforted that being a late bloomer to things is okay. I am so to everything I have done.
one thing we can learn from the reception of some modern art is that many people are cruel toward what (read who) they don't understand.
@@syb2965 Spot on! Contemporary art are tokens of obedience.
I think you are partially right, but shouldn't it be the artist's job to make the person want to understand it?
11:11 now that's how you explain a conceptual art piece! I can't go and tell anyone what someone else's art piece means, only the person who created it can, everything else is speculation. But having said that, i like that (it may be) the idea that a lot of the anger in the world stems from insecurities that people have of themselves, that they're externalizing this internal self-hate.
This guy just bought speakers off me.. mentioned he’s an artist so I looked him up.. what a trip!
I believe people hate modern art because art has been so abstract to simple elements, some people don't see the skill in it. But art is so diversified, it can't be defined by just one art style. If anything, blame Paul Cezanne for the intro of abstract modern art, he's one of the originators!
Curty Langston Better call it 'contemporary' art.
Michael Joo, What an amazing artist
Wonderful documentary about a great artist. Thank you
Conceptual art works when photographed and presented in print. When viewing gallery installations I find the materials used to be my first focus and secondly the overall form and meaning. Viewing a conceptual piece inside the pages of a self published book, my thoughts are... what is this configuration?, what is it's purpose, where is this? The impact varies but the interaction is much more interesting. Not my cup of tea, but put it in a black and white xerox-copied limited-run book and I'm in.
Great art needs no explanation
but I like hearing this man talk
Excelente!!!
i suppose he shows us more of the ramifications of scientific work
This fellow is sincerely true blue. coming from hid personal experiences he danced into a development al job of becoming artistic..in another time he'd be a farmer using all his birth born tools to sustain his world creating ways to enlarge his crops..
I didnt start artschool until my mid 20's but in europe i guess we work and travel for a few years, then usually we do a Foundation year or two in alot of techniques before we get into art school
Wow!!
Very cool
Didn't understand his explanation for why he dissected the antlers.
Request you to feature upcoming artists
Rewired Antlers on a wall made me think. A daring exhibit to do in Asia would be to have the form of a man with a rhino horn in place of his manhood and elephant tusks extending from his jaw to form an X.
I appreceite you introducing me to this fine artist and I feel greatful for that, however, have you ever considered changing your signature tune?
I think we could be friends Carla because I think the same !!
I think one of the ills with post-modernity or post-modern art is an irresistible temptation to extrapolate ideas to the fullest, and in short; one can totally make art 'work' as long as you use some interesting BS explanation that will intrigue the current art critics, collectors, and galleries. Even in the 'Western' view of art history, there were ideas that actually made sense, but now, it seems rather confounding, esoteric, preposterously intelligent, abstruse, etc...
Contemporary art is about ideas
Modern art is about the current ideas witha combinations of artist perspective, understanding about the knowledge they've learned and have that innovates the common previous art and the way people think about art.
What's bad about that?
Your comment resonates - though I detect a tad of envy - I like his work and him -
He is very attractive though
The I in ideas looks like an illustration of putting a tampon in
I like about make things something to do Art My Life
Elizabeth he is really good.
i like bacon texture
6:18 this exactly what humanity believes they can improve on nature. At best we destroy it.
The narrative runs a little longer than that, IMO. The antler piece is notably periodic (cyclical), and only expands what was found. it's all gonna end up something like landfill, as are we. Is our understanding of that destructive? How much of our expansivity is destructive, and how much of our destructive action is expansive? How do you know?
That, and every Jack in MN has a pair or five on his wall. Rich collectors don't want one. They want one with wires in it that makes them think and feel something.
The wired rack is the one i relate to. Its not so abstract as to be confusing or meaningless. I love that it make us ask 'why put antlers on a wall' - did you kill something to capture some of its essence? A daring exhibit to do in Asia, would be to have the form of a man with a rino horn in place of his manhood and elephant tusks extending from his jaw that form an X.
Conceptual art is, essentially, a 180 degree departure from what we have traditionally thought of as “art”.
And by art, I mean the visual arts: painting, drawing, sculpture architecture etc.
The big problem is that while the traditional visual arts have a millenniums long history, this new kid on the block does not.
Sculpture has evolved from The Venus of Willendorf to the Great Sphinx, the Venus De Milo, Michelangelo's David up to Rodin, the Statue of Liberty and Alexander Calder.
The arts of painting and drawing can be traced back to the cave paintings of Lascaux in France to The Sistine Chapel, Monet and Degas, Mark Rothko and beyond.
And through all of the changes, these art forms have stayed essentially the same:making marks on paper, canvas, wood, plaster etc. and building up forms in three dimensions as sculpture and architecture.
Along with the evolution of these art genres has developed a language and a set of criteria that form standards by which such pieces can be critiqued, evaluated and placed in historical context.
And while some people might like the lurid landscapes of Thomas Kinkade, his paintings are not and should not be hung alongside the landscapes of Church, Cole, van Gogh, Cézanne and Thiebaud.
There IS such a thing as bad art and we know what it looks like and why!
It is called esthetics.
This cannot be said of Conceptual art.
All sorts of crappy, bogus and hare brained stuff is piled up or strewn across the floors of museums and exalted as art because no one knows or can know what is worthy and what is not.
So you get pieces of blank white paper crumpled up in a ball, three basketballs suspended in a fish tank and cans of human excrement.
Welcome to the wonderful, wacky world of Conceptual art !
It seems the "concept" has been lost.
Nice description🌀
Smashed my nose on ipad
I had a Mexican neighbor who could be the son of this dude!!! 🤣🤣🤣 exactly the same hope the kid is doing better he was a landscape worker living with his jehova witness grandparents.
quienes son los 61 que disgustan de esto?
terribly clever innit?
Who pays this guys bills?
This ain't conceptual, it's Pop.
I was also extremely confused this was described as conceptual art... I mean maybe if you don't think too much you about it could call it post-conceptual but it definitely has nothing in common with artists like Sol LeWitt or Victor Burgin.
Art is ( these days ) very smart, and free and explorative, but also ridiculous and essentially useless. It is rather a reflection of how high the artist's ego is and how skillful it has become in the "art" of manipulating the perception of the masses. Contemporary art is a religion.
Especial 2X1 why is it necessary to have utility purpose?
And entirely subjective. ;)
It depends on the observer
Can you explain what you've meant when you said useless? I'm an artist myself so I'm open to know what the public thinks.
Please stop plagiarizing
Jesus he is hot 😍😍😍 how old is this guy. Like wtf
ali N He’s Japanese so probably around 90 haha
Korean
Nearly 30 minutes of talking and he doesnt say a fucking thing..and did he really say that as an artist he improves upon nature? Be careful you dont hurt yourself patting yourself on the back.
Kormericanean
Don't do drugs kids
late bloomer? early 20s? is this a joke, lol. grow up
min 8:50 Here we go again...Caucasoids triggered by non-albinos 🙄
i wonder if you can be a Trump supporter and a ' bloomberg ' artiste at the same time ?
You can't be an artist and a conservative. They are incompatible.
Yawn
I wouldn't call this art,
modern art sucks.
This video is not about modern art.
