    You should do an episode that is a case for tattoos. I believe that tattoos are a form of art and self-expression, but also a collaboration between canvas and artist. An interesting art exhibit you could talk about is the whole glory tattoo project by Scott Cambell that takes away that collaboration.

    • @cattymajiv
      @cattymajiv Год назад +2

      Another very valid question is... What is land art and what is environmental destruction?
      I'm not making a judgement. Just asking. And it's a question all land artists should ask before starting on any large scale project. I can see how this could at times, in a few specific places, become a problem. Some environments are much too beautiful to have man's hand laid on them. I would hope that artists would be more sensitive than the average person to this issue.
      But what about the people who only think they are artists, but are not? There are already too many of them! A permit should be required for anything large scale. I realize that would spoil things to a certain extent. But in my mind and heart, protecting the land, sky, and water comes first. The vast majority wouldn't need a permit anyway, and the majority of those applied for would recieve one anyway. Just the very large and damaging things or eyesores would be refused. The more natural the project, the less likely it would be to get refused, or to need modification.
      And before people jump all over me, I'm sick to death of hearing about your rights to free speach. Your right to wreck a beautiful pristine landscape doesn't supercede my right to keep the landscape untouched. If it's public land, I have as much right to enjoy it untouched. If it's private land the owner has the right to choose.
      In most cases I think land art is the coolest thing ever, and the most beautiful art ever! But I can also envision idiots who saw this going out and hiring bulldozers, and ripping stuff up. So in any case, the owners of bulldozers or of companies that have earth moving equipment, or that can place huge peices of stuff, should be liable for damage, and criminally charged for disturbing nature if permanent damage is done. (Concrete is extremely toxic, and very ugly IMHO.) That still leaves a lot of leeway. Remember the old adage for camping and hiking, take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but... ? What was it? Footprints?
      Because as well as the increasing amount of garbage tossed out tossed all over the place, there has actually been an increase of "art" peices installed in natural spaces all over.

      I agree whole heartedly! I love the Art Assignment series, but excluding Andy from this topic… I know, I know… there are far to many to mention all, but for me, Andy Goldsworthy is the finest example of “Artist in the landscape” he’s one of my personal favorite of all artists, sans categories!

    My great aunt who is an artist made a book with pages made out of chunks of dirt and mud and rocks (like if you had taken a square cookie cutter and ripped a piece of turf out of the ground) and I think it was literally called land art! My cousins had one of the ones she made hanging out in their dining room for a long time. I don't think I understood it until now (nobody ever really explained it to me) so thank you!

    • @alanawolf1556
      @alanawolf1556 3 года назад

      That's true - these terms are pretty narrow! Such a painting would probably need to be: 1. Comprised largely (if not entirely) of materials that an artist sourced from the original "site" and 2. Refer directly and specifically back to the site from which those materials came -- that is, the site (versus, say, a storyline about a princess or a bank or a cat) would be THE central subject matter of such a painting. That said, non-sites don't NEED to cover a lot of, ah, territory... there's plenty of room for other kinds of art in the world ;-D
