Simon Tarr Lecture November 9, 2010
- What was the most interesting quote of the lecture and why?
I really enjoyed his description of his work or his work ethic as being that of a " hunter gatherer" this creation from something found or something not manipulated.
- Using three words, define the core of the artist's practice and artwork.
multiplicity, found or reused, manipulated
- What is the most interesting thing you learned about the artist that you did not know before?
he altered the video trying to achieve a performance piece every time he showed it
- What image or artwork do you find the most compelling and powerful after hearing the artist describe it?
After learning more about what he did and watching the performance of his altered Tia Mak video I wasn't really impressed by anything. I don't fancy video. it seems to be simplistic and repetitive.
- Do you have any new questions in regards to the artist?
Could you talk a little bit more about 'Tia Mak' this video seems to have associations to other videos?
he talked about the relation to Nanook of the North, I have never seen the film but feel I really need to.
Tia Mak from Simon Tarr on Vimeo.
Do you use time based media to facilitate an idea or focus of your creative thinking or does the medium itself call for the works to be made?
I feel he does video, and then does projects to use video. The subject matter doesn't call for any other form because it is intended for film.
