J.S.G Boggs

J.S.G Boggs. Reading about Boggs, and watching the videos, I became very skeptical about his work. In one instance I doubt that he made his "art" for more than the love of art. However, we all know that artist are incomprehensible and after watching the video I kind of get some emphatic for him. I do believe he was an artist instead of a fogger. Nonetheless, the way he use his art as a medium of exchange violates some laws and not only because you are an artist you are above the law. In the video, it looks like a drawing instead of a picture, however, I don't considere that matters because any of the two is probably wrong. Finally, after understanding Boggs and his art I would only like to have one of his works in my living room. 

Beg, Steal and borrow.

Beg, Steal and borrow. "Art is theft," Picasso once proclaimed, and it's often said that much of the best and most ‘original’ new art involves an act or two of unequivocal, overt theft. However, in the book "Beg, Steal and Borrow" by Robert Shore we were able to read about seven different types of copy continuity. Over the lenght of this course we have talk a lot about Remix the art of taking someone else work and transforming into something different we our style. Nonetheless, remix is not the only way of copy someone else work. Between the seven types there are erasing which consist on deleting part of the job to create a different theme. Globalizing, defacing, resuscitating, revisioning, and adopting which very similar to erasing consist in taking a job change a part of it to create a new theme. 

The New Museum.

Song for Sabotage.  Looking at the title of this exhibition, I was expecting some really disturbing things going on. However, after see the whole museum I think that the biggest sabotage was a tourist running into a piece of art in the thirds floor and getting kick out. Seriously, I do agree with Holland Cotter when he said that they played safe. Aside of that, I actually had pretty good memories about the museum f rom a curatorial standpoint I personally believe that the fifth floor was the most successful because of the way the pieces were arrange making the floor go really well with the title "Song for Sabotage"  while the forth on was the least successful making the floor looks a little boring and to safe for the theme. I found the swing and the other pieces to be a really great grouping. Also, I found the Senzenian to be kind of misplaced or problematic and not going well with the other pieces in that floor.
