Essentially, I have been sorting through the library at MoCA to familiarise myself with the different types of literature in the art realm: art magazines, monographs, catalogues, guides, even business magazines were among the stacks I toiled with.
It goes without saying that I have been reading a ridiculous amount: everything is so fascinatingggg.
I found Art & Today by Eleanor Heartney particularly capturing, out of all the book I had to sort through (and I am not yet complete with sorting still!). It's a gigantic 450-page book, lovely for a newbie such as me, covering the subjects of art and..today, popular culture, politics, audience, the quotidian object, abstraction, representation, deformation, and more!
In the next post, I will touch on some of these more specifically, and share with you some new artists and their works that I've discovered. (Unfortunately, I am not able to at the moment since my router is giving me unpleasant attitude..). This coming week, I will be taking a break from the books and hitting it up with another department of the museum. Additionally, you will hear from me something about the Museum Studies in the next update. The first Museum Studies session is on this coming Friday afternoon, great for anyone who has any interest in museums. (Check it outtt.)
Also, way to go, everyone! From what I've read, everything is sincerely impressive, interesting, and not-a-disaster! Really, all are doing an excellent job, and I'm not just sayin' :] Keep at it!
Until the next,
Axk
