What exam question did you choose? Why? How'd you find it? What artists did you use?

I chose question 8, I like either the structural, P.M or cultural Qs and the other two were too specific for my liking. I used Ai Wei Wei, Andy Goldsworthy, Anselm Kiefer and Ricky Swallow. I think it went well... better than section 1.

I did question 3, agreed that inspiration is the only thing that can't be imitated or copied. I used Warhol, Munch, Calle, Moffatt, Uprock and Duchamp.
Would have liked more time to go into depth, an hour and a half isn't long enough!

I chose seven which was similar to my prepared answer and talked about how avant guarde 'artworks caused changes in the artworld'. I included Monet & the Impressionists, Duchamp and the Dadaists, Jill Orr, Munch, Paula Rego and Doug Aitken and his video art.
Found the essay much easier than section one. Everyone I spoke to said it was a really hard paper but I'm quite happy with it... happier now that its overrrrr wooo

Question seven, about artworks and exhibits changing the perspectives and practices of the art world (well, pretty close to that, it was over a few hours ago, after all)

Wrote about some individual Stuckist artists and their exhibits in general, as well as mentioning Hirst and Emin :mad: and I don't know if gallery directors count, but "Sir" Nicholas Serota and Charles Saatchi, too :vcross:

I think that I should have used some different artists, but it ran on for almost the entire booklet and I just wanted to leave.

Also, to those people who used Jenny Holzer (or just know who she is): goddamn, I love you.

Wouldn't it depend on the way they're used? Though I agree that not a lot of necessarily "artistic" skill goes into her works, she's still bloody brilliant, even if just as an intellectual figure... or something (it's too early for internet arguments, but I just can't help myself)

Arguing about art is pointless, some people like certain artworks, others don't, its a purely subjective thing shaped by personal experience and taste.

I think it comes down to what you value in art - the meaning or the skill involved, i prefer to appreciate works which have taken countless hours of skill and refinement to create rather that something like Holzer's work which is all about its 'meaning'

But yea, what may-cat said - its all subjective. Im just sick of listening to how brilliant Dada and Postmodern artists are because they had unique 'meanings' behind them lol. And anyway, i never have to do it again, woot! :D
