DADAISM-2

DADAISM

REPRESENTATIVE: MARCEL DUCHAMP ， 1887-1968

Dada or Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in Zürich, Switzerland, during World War I and peaked from 1916 to 1922. The movement primarily involved visual arts, literature—poetry, art manifestoes, art theory—theatre, and graphic design, and concentrated its anti-war politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. Its purpose was to ridicule what its participants considered to be the meaninglessness of the modern world. In addition to being anti-war, dada was also anti-bourgeois and anarchistic in nature.

MY OPINION
Dadaism by a group of young artists and anti-war leaders, they though oppose the beautiful arts to show their values.They wanna tell us, unattractive arts also is an good art.

cubism-2

I'm not sure this is cubism or not....

cubism

In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. The background and object planes interpenetrate one another to create the shallow ambiguous space, one of cubism's distinct characteristics.
Synthetic Cubism was the second main movement within Cubism that was developed by Picasso, Braque, Juan Gris and others between 1912 and 1919.

angles

high angle-- like a person raise his head to see something

low angle-- like a person to lower his head to see something

level angle-- look at the front horizontally

3

Blind--This is called blind road. Blind people can only touch, so this road is concave-convex.





Infinity--This is a circle, run follow this circle, never stop. Never.





Absolute--100%

Symbolism

I think Symbolism means use one thing to instead the other thing.



















MAN























POWER





















WOMAN AND MAN

















FREEDOM

Artist details:

Born: Lhasa, Tibet, 1971. Lives and works in Tibet

Gade is half Chinese, but it’s the Tibetan tradition that he embraces, and “Tibet’s anonymous ancient artists” that he reveres. In his quiet way, however, he also rebels against the rigidly religious nature of tradition, and the chokehold it retains on many outsiders’ view of Tibet. For Gade, Tibet is not a changeless museum of mysticism. It is TV and KFC, Levi’s and Budweiser. Rather than trying to depict a fantasy Tibet of gods and monsters and sacred ritual, Gade has always striven “to paint my Tibet, the one I grew up in and belong to.” He uses traditional iconography, cotton cloth, and pigments. But his scroll-format paintings are as likely to include Ronald McDonald or Spiderman as the Buddha. The 300 lotus thrones in Precious Objects (2007) hold cigarettes, thermos flasks, gas masks, instant noodles, and sewing needles. “Many people simplify Tibet,” Gade says. “They ask, How can Tibet have things like Christmas trees or fast food or Nikes? But young Tibetans have already accepted these things … I am interested in the state of people who are living in this ever-changing society.”

I like this one, some details inside. If you see every small image, you will find some interesting things. All the small images are different. So I think this artist is a prudentially man.

“Art was a secret haven for me, it gave me a chance to live with all the things I had seen.” —Ai Weiwei, interviewed in Die Zeit, 2 Oct 2009

Born: Beijing, 1957. Lives and works in Beijing

Ai Weiwei is one of China’s best-known artists, as much for his outspokenness on social and political issues as for his protean creative output. His website is titled Fake, and the themes of his work often circle around questions of authenticity, value, and their construction and destruction.

I think this made by stone, it looks like sunflower and the smell is good. But I don't like this style, I think this just put them together and do not have some personal idea, also do not give us something can take away.

How you felt while you were at the White Rabbit Collection?

I feel so nervous, actually I am Chinese. These recycables 98% are from China. I hate these rubbish, and I hope one day I can contribute to the environment.

If you found the excursion to The White Rabbit beneficial and why.

I think it's very useful and necessary to go to White Rabbit Gallery. We can get some art information and some thing can take away to your education.

Also, what is the history behind The White Rabbit Collection, who is it for, and how often do they change the collection?

The White Rabbit Collection is one of the world’s largest and most significant collections of contemporary Chinese art. Founded by Kerr and Judith Neilson, it focuses on works produced after 2000.

The White Rabbit Collection did arise from a series of chance encounters. The first was in 1999, when I came across a wall sculpture by Wang Zhiyuan in the storeroom of a Sydney art gallery. It showed whimsical fusions of humans, animals and angels, and I was immediately struck by the artist’s inventiveness and technical mastery.
That discovery led to a meeting with Wang Zhiyuan, who became a family friend and regaled us with news of the exciting changes taking place in the Chinese art world. A few years later, as a surprise present, I took my younger daughter to China. We met up with Wang Zhiyuan, who had moved to Beijing and opened a studio.
That led to perhaps the biggest surprise of all—seeing the extraordinary art he had been raving about. The best of it had all the qualities that had made his work leap out at me. It was bursting with ideas and energy, vibrant, often humorous, imaginative, technically superb and utterly compelling. I was hooked, and wanted to start collecting at once.

It is for everyone.

The entire contents of the gallery are rehung twice a year.

Gaze

Gaze--pay more attention to see something
see something carefully
a kind of eye contact





Indirect gaze--you can see lot of things at the same time




Direct gaze--
you only can see one thing at the same time and to take long time to see it




uncomfortable-- I feel so nervous. The boy's eyes looks sad. Maybe he hates something.

week2

intimate--extreme close up

personal--close up
social--long shot

public--extreme long shot

Framing

In my opinion, the framing means structure.



30cm intimate zone
1m personal zone
3m social zone
3+m public zone

A story of "The melting of ice"

One day, a man put a champagne glass into fridge to make the glass cold. Then ice meet glass, he thought she was so beautiful and he fell in love with glass.
Ice wanted to stay with glass forever, but he doesn't know when he left fridge, he will be dead. The man brought out the glass, and he also brought the ice, and put the ice into the glass. Ice was so happy, he thought he will stay with her forever. Then the man poured some champagne into glass. 5 minutes later, he fell bad, she fell sad and she knew that she will lost him. 10 minutes later, he turned small, she cried. 20 minutes later, he was disappeared, she will never see him again. She's tears stained her body.
Actually, before he died, he said "I would like to wait you 500 years but only for stay with you one second, this one second means forever, forever".

winter-impressionism

I use Photoshop.
-Filter Gallery, change to a style which I like, but actually I use two styles.
-Levels, turns dark
-Color balance, change to blue.
I think winter will be cold, so blue means cold.

Impressionism

This is a rainy day. The producer draw the picture from indoor to outside. I think the producer must be sad. Because in the whole picture, all colours are similar with gray. But the rain looks amazing. It makes you can not see outside clearly. That is the main point of this picture. The producer don't want you see it clear.

1)viewer

When I first time see this picture, I have seen a tall building and not only one moon. Even though i think the left top is a sun. It looks strange. I think producer want to tell us, in the world, not only moon and sun can give us bright.

2)producer

I am not sure who is a producer of this picture.

But if I am a producer of this picture, I want to show people this is a evening, it looks quiet.But actually it quiet? No! The answer is NO. I want to show the wind, the terrible wind. And at the front, there is a strange plant. So this evening is terrible and strange.

3)represented participants

If I am a strange tall plant in this picture. I know almost people will see the moon at first. But if people see it carefully, then people will find I am the main point. I am strange, so I am a plant or a tall building? People wiil guess and discuss me.
