I understand what Gude is saying about contemporary art and she does make good points about the true fundamentals of art! She expands through ideas (eg. layering, gazing, hybridity) that offer multiple perspectives to interpreting art. I do feel however, that after reading so much of Gude and her principals I have a pretty good handle (Beth made sure of that!) I am sick of advocating and having to explain to people how imprtant art is in schools....and its not just math and science that are the core subjects!
Jenny Holzers work combines some principals of representaion and hybridity as seen in the two examples below, WORDS CAN BE A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK!
Holzer uses text in her art to open up thoughts and perceptions about social issues. Violence, war. media., sexuality and morality issues are a common thread throughout her work.
