My VA Case Study Assessment Task 1....
Part 4 of it asks me to discuss Post Modernism in relation to Barbara Kruger, Jeff Koons & Jenny Holzer (parts 1, 2 & 3 were individual case studies on each), using a list of questions supplied as stimulus for the discussion. Trouble is, I'm having trouble answering some of the guide questions.
Things like
  • How do the artworks challenge the authority of history?
  • What conventions are being critiqued by the artist?
  • Do the artist's recontextualise the source of the image to create a different meaning?
  • Have there been mulitple reinterpretations of the artworks? ---->how am i supposed to find this out?
  • Do the artworks seek to the highlight the issues of marginalised groups in society?
  • How do the artworks destabilise the audience's expectations?
  • How do the artists show an anti-authoritarian approach in their artmaking?
These have got me so confused. I had no trouble with discussing the artists in their case studies (involving themes, issues, techniques, meaning, production, exhibitions, influences, frmaes & the conceptual framework)...
but this has got me stuck.

suggestions? help? anything?
grasping at straws here


peaceout:)
