Janine Antoni

She confronts issues

such as materiality,

process, the body,

cultural perceptions of

femininity, and her art

historical roots.

Janine is a contemporary artist whose work focuses mostly onprocess. She

often uses her whole body or different parts of it, such as her mouth or hair

and with them performs everyday activities to create her artwork.


11/25

In these works, she has formed a bust of herself from chocolate and a bust from

soap. As part of the artistic performance/process she then licks the bust until

the face is erased and washes herself until the face on the soap has dissolved.

For Janine, the artwork really is about this kind oflove-hate relationship we

have with our physical appearance.

Janine spoke a lot about the evolution of her ideas for making art and about how

creativity is not linear. How do we nurture the creative process? Can

you make an idea come? How is introspection a part of creativity?

Sculpture Ideas

This workshop was

awesome! The retired

educator worked with

high school students to

create host forms from

cardboard. Then, they

glued other objects to the

host forms. In this slide,

the students constructed

their own building

blocks from cardboardand then assembled

those together. Paint was

added to unify the piece.

Evocative and Provocative Pedagogy: Toward a Culture-

Changing Curriculum (by Olivia Gude)

Super Session: In Conversation with Chuck Close

A visit to MOMA

ISU art alumni reunion


17/25

Olivia Gude:

Respects non-linear thinking

Engages students with the world

Allows students to explore vital issues in their life

Reaches students where they are (For example,

altering the images common on street signs for

students who are in Drivers Ed)

An Evocative and Provocative Pedagogy

To make meaning in art, students should be able

to evoke and share significant memories and

arrive atfresh meanings in their art. (For

example, creating art about school horrorstories a place where students can share their

feelings about social/friendship issues) They

should explore a wide range ofaesthetic

practices. How can students participate in

contemporary issues?


18/25

In Conversation with Chuck CloseHe was learning disabled and had a life long

neuromuscular disorder. He was a failure in

school He cannot add, subtract, multiply or

divide. He couldnt run and chase kids, so he

tried to entertain them with magic tricks.


19/25

Ease is the enemy of the artist.

Inspiration is for amateurs, the rest of

us just show up and get to work.

"Self-imposed limitations are always good to move you to a new place."

22/25

TASK Party (with Oliver Herring)-a performance art experience-

TASK is an improvisational event with asimple structure and very few rules.

All TASK structures, the events, parties

and workshops rely on the same basic

infastructure: a designated area, a

variety of props and materials(cardboard, plastic bags, pencils, tables

cling wrap, tape, markers, ladders) and

the participation of people who agree to

follow two simple, procedural rules: to

write down a task on a piece of paper

and add it to a designated TASK pool,and, secondly, to pull a task from that

pool and interpret it any which way he

or she wants, using whatever is on (or

potentially off) stage. When a task is

completed, a participant writes a new

task, pulls a new task, and so on.
