Ten Works of Art
Blah blah blah. I’ve done the ten books meme. I may have listed ten movies, ten albums, ten of everything several times; but I’ve never really gotten to thinking about ten works of art that got me into doing what I’m doing now – with the writing and the MA.
Anyway:
- Orlan, The Reincarnation of Saint Orlan, 1990
- Isabel and Alfredo Aquilizan, Mabini Art Project, 2011
- Robert Longo, Men in the Cities, 1979
- Chto Delat?, The Tower: A Songspiel
- Cindy Sherman, Untitled Film Stills, 1977-1980
- Colin Gray, Heaven and Hull, 1990
- Olafur Eliasson, Take Your Time SF MoMA, 2007 and MC Chicago, 2009
Not so much a single work as an entire exhibition that took up several floors of each museum, but what the hell:
- Tania Bruguera, Tatlin’s Whisper #5, 2008
- Gerry Alanguilan, Wasted, 1998 (1994-1996)
- Jun Yang, A Short Story on Forgetting and Remembering, 2007
