Describe the work of one of these artists and how you see their influences affecting their work.
From a conceptual standpoint, I found Robert Rhee's work to be very intriguing.Also, I found him to be a compelling speaker and was very interested in his process. However, Robert Campbell's work I found to be much more visually stimulating. I have little understanding of video production so I was interested to hear about the unique ways he manipulated video and incorporated it into works of art. For instance, the work Interval Two, was less like viewing a painting and more like an "experience". It was reminiscent of the sensation of sitting down and listening to an entire album like Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. The triptych style also seemed like reading a story or viewing three narratives in one setting. I was also very interested, and wish he could have further elaborated upon his Polaroid transfer methods. This is a process I have seen before and have attempted to replicate but with little success. I think his work would inspire me to branch out and try different methods I haven't before and keep pursuing ones I have been unsuccessful with in the past. It is important to note that Rob's work has definitely impacted me in terms of considering my materials in their original raw form conceptually when producing something. These vastly different artists provided an excellent lecture with differing approaches to art that created a very wholistic view of the age old question of what makes a good artist.
