Episode 136 | The Carnegie Institute: Fraud or Not?

Episode 136 | The Carnegie Institute: Fraud or Not?

In today’s podcast episode, Jolyn and Kristin will be discussing Sol LeWitt’s drawing at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh. The museum wants to “move” this painting, but what happens when moving a painting means creating a whole new piece of artwork? Would redrawing the painting still be considered Sol LeWitt's art even after it's "relocated"? Sol LeWitt was an American conceptual artist linked to various movements including conceptualism and minimalism. He is known for his contribution to the philosophy of conceptual art. Part of his contribution was his somewhat controversial way of creating and distributing his art. Sol LeWitt had a unique way of sharing his art, known for providing clear instructions to artist technicians to create and execute his wall drawings following his original blueprint. Does who draws the art matter as much as what is drawn? Does moving the art change the way the art is viewed? Does it change the value of the work? Is it fraud or not? Find out in this episode as Kristin and Jolyn dive in to discuss their perspectives on this topic.

Episode 134 | The Captive Cat: Just Chained or Art?

Episode 85 | Artistic Perspective of the Great Eastern Temple

Episode 85 | Artistic Perspective of the Great Eastern Temple

Buddhism’s impact was fundamental to Japan, just like Christianity in the West, in terms of politics, culture, and society. Apart from bringing the Buddha’s teachings to Japan, Buddhism brought groundbreaking technologies to the country such as writing, architectural advancements, metal engineering, and art. Buddhism artists were known to embody the religious teachings in mesmerizing works of art full of knowledge and meaning, the Great Eastern Temple and its magnificent sculptures being one of the many examples of such principle. Could a contemporary person depict, discern, and understand the meaning and importance behind Buddhist art without the necessary tools and knowledge? If not, would the artwork lose its essence and value if it is contemplated uniquely through the lenses of a subjective approach rather than one that solely considers its original intent? If that were the case, would that be an erroneous assessment, and why? Stay tuned in to listen to our opinions and conclusions on the matter.
