Artistic integrity has always been an ongoing topic over thousands of years as art itself has developed. Subsequently, this article has brought a new light to the meaning of an artist’s purpose in the creative world. In. particular, Mr. Song’s choice to rebuild artworks out of demolished fragments or lost memories is both beautiful and invigorating. I sincerely appreciated reading this article, because it reminded me that art can be achieved through any means of producing. Mr. Song went through unimaginable strife, after losing his childhood town to desolation and his mother’s uncontrollable grief. The MoMa’s exhibition sends out mixed signals to the audience, which is integral to passing on the artwork’s message clearly. After his proposal to turn their emaciated home into an ongoing art project, I have gained a new appreciation for Mr. Song, because his willingness to carry the Conceptualist practice through his strife is considerably admirable.

Joan Jonas video review

Jonas plays up her use of body movements and sound in her videos. She translates her thoughts thoroughly in these videos and she uses her work to communicate her thoughts and emotions. She often uses the space itself to convey these feelings, like in her video Wind. On the windiest day of the year, Jonas used the weather to create emotion in her works. She often uses multiple artists as well to make a collaborative effort on her work. Overall, I respond well to these videos, and I respect Jonas as a creator using the medium of film to convey herself.

Matthew Barney video reaction

The video I watched from Barney, Cremaster Cycle Trailer, was extremely odd with its imagery and symbolism. There were different shots of unrelated things, and the entire video seemed surreal at times. Because of its oddness, this video reminds me of the video examples we were shown in class. I can possibly take inspiration from this video, if I wanted to make something extremely abstract. It was difficult to find the true meaning of this video, but nevertheless, I still appreciate it.
