THINK BEFORE ACTION

Now that performance art and all kinds of “incomprehensible” art are prevalent, I still think that, art should be thought first and then acted.

The emergence of this idea was the first project at the beginning of last semester. At that time, Harry and Rina were in a group. The three of us were not familiar with it at the time, and our respective directions were different. The discussion and planning of the project was not very positive, so we finally made a project in a hurry at the end of the period. We found some materials and red paint, went to the gallery to play freely, and after doing some things. 1 hour after, we packed up and went back to the dormitory. My thinking about this project was born after the “finished product” came out. I originally thought that such a work would not bring much, but I didn’t expect that the reaction of the students during the presentation made me have certain doubts and strangeness about this process: Why does such a Last Day Work feel very good, and the thinking after the finished product makes the whole process seem very reasonable and smooth.

Here are the final work that with red paint.

It is undeniable that there have been many such “incomprehensible” art in the history of art. The earliest Duchamp’s urinals, including Marina Abramović’s performance art, seem to be recognized as art first. product, and then understand and think about it. I actually like Abramović’s performance art, especially the “potential”, but my reason is more from her boldness and the texture of the photos, I don’t know if I witness this moment with my own eyes What emotions will arise, I think more is still fear and worry, maybe half a year after this performance art took place, when I think about it, I will still be afraid and worried.

There have been a lot of art exhibition unexpected incidents in the world. It probably means that the participants put their own things, or some things that are not works of art because those unexpected things were placed in this exhibition, causing these items to be regarded as art. People covered it with a glass cover, stopped in front of this “artwork”, looked at this unexpected exhibit carefully, and even picked up a camera to record such a “rare” artwork. In fact, it’s hard not to let me think about the so-called performance art, whether it is the artist’s own thinking and expressing it to the public, or whether we tacitly accept that this is art and generate thinking and awe.

My answer is that I think art should be thinking before action. I think that way, the artwork we see is more convincing.

Now that I have come up with this idea, and think it’s true, I’ll definitely follow the steps of thinking before acting. I think this is also the reason why I like design, not only can it bring a better experience to the world, but also the combination of rigorous logic of design and the expression of final beauty, whether it is product design, graphic design, or something new The fields are interaction design, experience design, etc. The well-designed logic makes me feel that every adjustment choose is reasonable and specific.
