Artist Statement for Simon Kavanagh
|
|
|
Why is it, or how is it that after the most incredible artistic revolution which occurred at the beginning of the last century, Art has become the most static of all the arts. Considering, that experimentation into the use of computers and technology in artistic expression started proper in the 50’s, why then is art not catering for increased social awareness and using the tools that are currently and for some time have been at their disposal. What would the Futurists, Cubists, Constructivists etc. have made of this advanced technology, if you consider for example what the Futurists did with cinema in 1916, and the cubists with painting and sculpture. Lets not, belittle all the very unique and ground breaking work that was created in the 50 years that followed, Fluxus, OP Art, pop art, kinetic art, happenings etc. It seems after Nam juin Pak, everything went horizontal, even his work...What is next? What has happened to the modern day artist? Commerciality perhaps! Lack of inspiration? Skill? Time?
