Roni Horn

Water.
Roni Horn is like water.
ever fluid, constantly adaptable, and ever changing while still maintaining her true self.
i think out of the pieces shown in the documentary, the piece that i could actually connect with was the locker room piece. like the rest of her work, the pieces of the collage flowed and intertwined with each other like water. not only was the flow amazing, but it was strategic and held this ambiguous story within it as well. I think what ultimately attracted me to the piece was the ambiguity, the voyeuristic style that was hiding in the piece. As Roni Horn said the people entering and leaving the lockers were just "traces". and i think thats all we can do is just leave the smallest trace of ourselves in the places we inhabit in our lives.

To Do List

Stefan Sagmeister

Don't write on paper or parchment but on yourself is the message he gives.

No, but in all seriousness its just to say that you don't have to give your audience text in its traditional styling, but it can be done in the medium outside that can be used to express those messages which much more then the text behind it. I think what Sagmeister is doing is showing a physical representation of the persons life story by making them a living canvas on which to use typography on. This gives the piece a more personal and even vulnerable look at the person depicted.

It just reminds me of writing on your forehead your social standing mine would be "average"

Whats yours?

What to write what to write what to write.
Well.
I think that what he was trying to say is that you can convey the same message that you hear Over ad over again instead through a means that may be conceived as unconventional.
Just because something has the proper grammar proper spelling even the right type of jargon Doesn’t mean that it will convey the message trying to be spoken.
I mean I think its smart what is being done. If you put something on paper.
YOU WANT IT TO BE READ.
Or at least seen.
And when you have black lines on white paper with all the ducks in a row it doesn't really seem To catch anyone’s attention.
Typography is almost like a slap to the face.
Catches your attention can put you and shock and awe and just leave you there to think of what Has just happened.



Also on a more artistic outlook sometimes what society sees as normal just cant convey your Message.
How many times can you see happiness, sadness, or redemption till you've seen them all when Everyone is following all the same rules?
Sometimes you have just have to change it up and go by your own rules.

 

P.s.- I think what David Carson just reinstates is that you should think outside of the box. Don't Look at your mistakes or errors as things to be deleted, but things that should be stepped Backed and reflecting on what it could be.

And if people accept it then hey go for it.

Service Worker Protest

"20,000 STRONG!" Thats what's written on the plastic button that sticks outwardly on my flannel shirt. Never really understood it actually, since this is my boyfriends shirt and just put it on from waking up late, until actually going to the protest that my boy had been actively participating in for about 6 months. My boy being "bred" a protester through his major of ethnic studies I didn't really give it a second thought other then it being some ethnic studies thing. But actually being able to hear the issues, the injustices, and the practices of the University finally made me understand why the importance. Still I have yet to find something I fight for like him, and thats why I post this. Here are people who risk their jobs, reputations, and even safety for something that they want to fight for. I need to find something that I can be that passionate about. So here's for them.
