Clown Torture by Bruce Nauman is right on the money with the title. This form of art is very scarry and distrubing. It consists of videos in which clowns are in very weird positions and the video is replayed or looped over and over again. It gives the viewer a sense of going crazy or insane. It also wasn't just on one screen, this video was being played on many monitors. Some were sideways or upside down and were all different acts from clowns. I actually found this form of art very disturbing and frieghtening. I hate clowns and while we were watching the video in class I was getting very freaked out . I'm glad I didn't have to sit through the entire thing, but on an artistic scale it is very creative of Nauman for what he made.- Owen
This interesting piece was done by Jeff Koons. He is an American artist and was known most for his giant ballon animals that were made of mostly steel. His work is very unique because he doesn't try to single out one particular group. His audience is very broad and he trys to relate his work to all types of people. I found the video in class very interesting because the objects he makes actually reminded me of childhood. He uses bright vibrant colors and even cartoon characters I could have related to when I was much younger. I really enjoyed his work and am for sure a fan. - Owen
