I'm looking back through my original notes I made during class. It's good to keep looking back at notes, to know how you came to certain conclusions and to help with progression.
Here is a thought trail that I wrote down in my note book:
'MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH'--> IS--> IS MEANING '=' --> MODERN LIFE = RUBBISH-- MODERN LIFE CREATES RUBBISH--> NEW TECHNOLOGY--> OUT WITH OLD (RUBBISH)--> IN WITH THE NEW--> NEW BECOMES OLD--> ETC.
I came to the conclusion that modern life is all about rubbish in a way. I can't answer the question 'Is modern life rubbish?' but in this sense, of modern life IS rubbish, Modern life CREATES rubbish. I can Answer the question. Does modern life CREATE rubbish? and I can look at what can be created out of rubbish.
Vik Muniz, an artist I studied Back in my A-levels is an artist that used rubbish to re-create existing masterpieces, and create masters of his own.
Edward Burtynsky
Richard Billingham
Elliot Erwitt
Fischi and Weiss
Nick Gentry, an artist I've studied also in A-level, and whom I've had contact with is another artist who uses 'rubbish' to create his works. He Focus' on using past media such as floppy discs, videos, tapes etc. and paints portraits of 'memory' or 'data' over the top of them. He is one of my favourite artists because of the thought he puts into his work.
