Josh and Kristen's Presentation

Lillian Schwartz and Robert Lazzarini

They both presented a lot of good background information for both artists.

Schwartz is really interesting. She started her work in the 70s, i believe. I really like IT IS I (Mona-Leo). It's a very interesting concept and I think it's really amazing how she did this before photoshop or anything like that. I also really liked how they kept her photo up in the background while discussing her work. Simple observation but I think it's a very good approach. Night Scene was also interesting because its so new and so advanced (for that time period at least). Her UFO piece, though kind of seizure inducing, was really an amazing technological advance. I actually like the second, and earlier, video they showed. I feel that the music and everything really fits together. It doesn't make me want to shake around all over the floor.

Lazzarini is also really fascinating. i actually like him better than Lazzarini LOVE the tea cup work. I think its really fascinating and cool...tempted to buy them from MOMA... the Knives piece is also really cool. I do agree that seeing some of the images live is very important because you can really get the effect of it. Pay phone was also really cool.

I liked how they compared the context and how one has effected the other. To see two different artists form the same area, and how she helped him come to the point where he is, is very interesting and I would most definitely go to this exhibit.


This group was really quite excellent. They gave a lot of great information and more importantly, made it all very interesting. I really liked how they organized and set everything up. VERY well done.
