Julika Rudelius Artist Lecture Questions

Artist lecture October 5th, 2010



http://www.rudelius.org/




- What was the most interesting quote of the lecture and why?
I very much enjoyed that she noted that her projects were "triggered by anger or discomfort" 



- Using three words, define the core of the artist's practice and artwork.
predetermined, untrue, controlled

- What is the most interesting thing you learned about the artist that you did not know before?
I did not know that her subjects were prompted to behave the way she thought would create the known reaction, or a reaction.


- What image or artwork do you find the most compelling and powerful after hearing the artist describe it?
Compelling and powerful maybe an overstatement but I found the women of the Hamptons to be pretty shocking.

- Do you have any new questions in regards to the artist?

what would happen if they behaved the way they did normally? I wonder how compelling they would or wouldn't be...or if the spontaneity would be interesting. 

Two Questions:
In past interviews you said your work is about body language and feeling uncomfortable. do you do things in your videos that creates an outcome that you intend to happen? or are things organically created?

it was very clear that she had a decided outcome for her videos so she would direct the subjects or prompt them with questions.

What is the purpose of splitting the video up into multiple screens of information? (like in the first work you show in the attached lecture?)

She mentioned the use of multiple screens and each having their own subtitles, but I did not catch her logic behind splitting them up.
