Comments on: Talking with Janine Antoni, Part Two http://blog.art21.org/2009/10/14/talking-with-janine-antoni-part-two/ The Official Blog of Art21, Inc. and the Art in the Twenty-First Century PBS series Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:40:46 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Joe Fusaro http://blog.art21.org/2009/10/14/talking-with-janine-antoni-part-two/comment-page-1/#comment-15934 Joe Fusaro Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:24:26 +0000 http://blog.art21.org/?p=10334#comment-15934 It looks like Janine titled the piece "Moor" because the first time she exhibited the piece it was in the center of a harbor and that's where the original idea for making the rope came from. She tied the rope to a column in the space and then it went out the window, over the balcony, over a street, to a lifeboat that was floating in the center of the water. I suppose this is a lifeline of sorts that connects to the idea of moorings- connecting things and securing them. Hope this helps. Thanks again.

Great interview. In part one really enjoyed reading about her teaching practices, that she has the students be aware of the dialog that is going on perhaps on a subconscious level with an audience member that can be a mentor, favorite artist... whoever. Good stuff. Also liked hearing her discuss her evolution in her own education. I think I will be constructing an installation lesson grouping her with some Los Angeles artists, John Outterbridge, Jane Castillo, Dominique Moody and a few more artists from Art21. I was curious on why she titled the installation in season 2, "Moor". Have you any idea? June Edmonds Thanks, Joe. Great interview.

This was such a pleasure to do, especially since Janine can speak to some of the challenges educators face introducing contemporary art. Giving students the chance to experience works like "Lick and Lather" or even the new installation, "Tear", as well as the stories that go with them, can be really powerful starting points for students thinking about art differently. She also reminded me to consider (reconsider?) Richard Long! Thanks, Nate.

How artists bring their personal lives into their work is fascinating - so much of contemporary art SEEMS to lack a personal connection. But, often times the contrary is true. Art:21 artist, Jeff Koons, talks about how the custody battle for his son has lead to some of his large scale, playful sculptures being created...it is very interesting stuff!!!
