chronicles 5yrs of installation work by new mexico artist collective keep adding. the theme for the installation was damage & devastation through art. they used adobe structures, spray paint murals, light boxes & richard devine music.
there was one mural where a layer process with masking tape was used. i did a lot of this in the late '80s > early '90s. saw the technique again a few days ago at a open studio tour. natural cycles i guess. kinda like women's shoes & handbags.
brought to mind one of my mfa project ideas. these guys are spin offs of the original school of this genre. not an insult > just historical reference. like most schools they spin off & then break into some new hybrid.
no new ideas/inspirations for my project through view this
downtown 81
about the new york downtown art/music scene in 1980-81. sort of a punk/graffiti thing with kid creole, blondie & basquiat
it was lame. i would not recommend it or watch it again. it tried to avantgarde & failed. did not show much of his work or him working & offered no enlightenment on his art. wonder if this was"profound" at the time it was made/released. said the music was punk > but it was more latent new wave (post new wave???). punk was pretty much over by '78.
i got nutt'n from this.
