In the book, New Media in Art pgs 28-38, one of the things that I thought was interesting was how performance art got its start. And it was Jackson Pollock Lucio Fantana, and Shimamoto (36). The action was art. Canvas and painting were part of the medium of the performance. And some artists would record there performance and play them during the show. Which i thought was smart of them to do because it gives the audience a chance to see how the artist works. And perhaps the paint on canvas or whatever material was painted on was not the main focus. I love to splatter paint when I'm feeling anxious, angry, or even sad because its fun to get it all out on the canvas.
K Foundation's performance K Foundation Burn a Million Quid , Aug. 23, 1995 Andrew Ruesseth mentions a couple artist including Andy Warhol, and the infamous banana on the wall piece of art. And how much is art worth? A comment on society's values of high art which raises the question of what makes using money in art wrong. Burning it to make a statement that we put so much value in a piece a paper that all it is a piece of paper. Or using precious gemstones that valued high rate already why make a ridiculous medium out of it. Because why not that how most people live their lives thinking about money. Either you have a lot of it or live paycheck to paycheck. And if you live middle class all you do is hope you live to move up or down.
