reaction and reflection upon abigail solmon-godea's essay:
godea's passage ardently references sherry levine's notorious case where appropriation was approached at an extremely inventive, yet unorthodox manner. this approach however, is most simplistically described as reconsideration of an art in order to birth a new art form. of course the visuals are nearly, or exactly the same, but the intention, symbolism, represenation, and inspiration, may be completely autonomous. "making the invisible visible,(160)" by resconsidering, and reconsidering [the subject] again and again to further question the finished work- to conjure thoughts, questions and ideas about the art-- not to dilute, but to readdress and strengthen the potential of the art. some may argue this is embellishing by fabrication but instead, it stresses a lesson that explains it is, "most important, to see how a complex, theatrical, and new-feeling art can be made from ideas and materials already there." Referencing Martin Kippenberger's grand demonstration of this phenomenon is the installation called “The Happy End of Franz Kafka’s ‘Amerika,’ ” which fills the MoMA atrium. (NY Times. Clotter, Holland). I am going to the city on sunday march 1, to see this exhibit. how coincidental and convenient?
