For this week's homework watch the second episode of Matthew Colling's " This is Modern Art: Shock! Horror!" But be warned that the video contains explicit images of art meant to disturb and possibly offend. And because of this I want to hear your true gut reactions to the artists and art that you see even if you are disgusted. This is work that is not about being beautiful, its about something else entirely. Some questions you may want to consider while you watch. Why do you think these artists choose such subject matter, and what role do this work fulfill? How does the meaning of this work change over time? Also should public funds go toward paying for art that is offensive to some (and if it it who decides what is offensive or not?)
the video was very explicit and could not even look at this video without with children around you. CHILDREN COULD NOT AND YOU WOULD NOT WANT THEM TO LOOK at it anyway. This artist seem to want to shock his audiance, and he got his wish.
