Paul McCarthy Response
Here is my response to some of paul McCarthy's work... I scrapped four or five other projects because he was really hard to respond to.
Check some of his work out if you have a second:

Great work Nick. I love the camera's following nature. Your work kept me thinking "how did he do that?!". You really capture a cold feeling, and rather mechanical, to the piece. Probably experimenting with monitors would of served good as well which, as you know, Nauman used in the Public/ Private space installation. R.T

Great work Ryan - you have really struggled with the piece and come up with something that speaks to both Paul McCarthy and your own response to his work.

I enjoyed this video. I think you really stuck well the simplicity but eccentricity of Paul's work. Paul tends to be a bit ambiguous with his work at times and I think you did a very good job a maintaining that in your response. Nice work Ryan.

Ryan, I love your work!!! My reading is that it is a strong piece inspecting the relationship of what things should be and what things are. Ketchup and whistles and smiley face are all icons indicating happiness. But here you created a whole new situation, giving them new meanings. I am so drawn to the tragic failed attempt to be happy shown through the blood like nature of Ketchup and whistles which cannot maintain themselves.
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome! Keep it up.
