I all this image..... "Bilbo Finds The One True Ring"

[MrChupacabra]

Holy shit...unreal.

[Overtime]

his ice shit is awesome, but i think i like the twigs in water the most, this guy is amazing...

[inkblots]

goodshit

[imported_b0b]

Love his work so much. I have all the coffee table books of his photos at home.

He seems quite "writer"ish in his approach to art: he creates something site specific that he doesn't expect to last and he isn't precious about his work wither - unlike so many artists.

He is a creative genius.

[slave_one]

i feel so uncultured sometimes,
i never heard of this guy until now.
those photos are beyond awesome.

[imported_El Mamerro]

Somewhat related... Robert Smithson (http://www.robertsmithson.com/earthworks/spiral_jetty.htm). I dig Goldsworthy more though.

[gatita]

I saw the film on him last year at the film forum. Hes so amazing, his work is so fucking beautiful beyond words. He inspired me to do an outdoor installation, but I did more of an urban meets rural spin on it.

All and all.. his work is breathtaking.

[SteveAustin]

really fucking dope shit.
I'm gonna bite the shit outta it and shoot some polaroids like that.

[porque]

...i ripped apart a thesis talk by a grad student a year or so back that used goldsworthy as an example of what she thought art should be(...she was a 'craft' person)...i think some of his work looks great, but when i think about it critically some of the stuff contradicts itself...

thats why i love the board, brings insight and shit to you that you would have never seen before, this point of view is almost dead on. its like he does it for the flick and that is it. Lets whatever happens to it happen, but his work is simply amazing

onesecondple/needs to remember his damn password...

[SteveAustin]

I understand and fully endorse ripping 'craft' people apart. there was some sorority slut in my sculpture class in college. the first project was clay. she made some cheesy ass wheeled horse on a string that also served as a picture frame..the professor nearly imploded...shit was hilarious. never saw her in that class again.

I dig the dude's work simply because some of it almost looks photoshopped.

[CIPHER_one]

what's a "craft" person?

[ledzep]

that is awesomeness.

[Overtime]

i cant get over how amazing some of his stuff is...

...in my school there was a distinct difference between 'craft people' (...ceramics, woodworking, furniture making, textiles, glass, etc) and 'real art' (...painting, sculpture)...then there were the design kids, which we considered to be just 'different' so there was no real hate...this isn't just a seperation that exists at some schools (...and from what i've seen it's pretty prominate at a lot of schools) but it also exists on a very real level in the gallery world and art criticism...right now there is a real argument going on as to whether crafts are fine art or something else...

[bodice_ripper]

I have the Fine Art/Craft argument in college with lectures all the time. They see craft as something pleb commoners do, whereas Art is this godlike creative act. They say the artist should come up with the cincept, and then hire craftmen to build it....

Fuck them, shower of stuck up self important twats

[porque]

...the prominent arguement between the 'fine arts' vs craft distinction in contemporary theory and aesthetics is not so much that crafts are lower or less important than 'fine art', or as you put it, 'the work of plebos'...but that the distinction arises from a different history for each that leaves them uncomparable...a piece of pottery doesn't need to reflect the history of sculpture, it needs to reflect and be infromed by the history of pottery...it relates to other pottery and should be critiqued in that fashion...one is not better or worse than the other, they exist on differnt planes...

[bodice_ripper]

nope. says you, and various others. I simply don't agree. and nothing you said there would convince me otherwise.

"they exist on different planes"? too much art college man.

[wiseguy]

i dont really care for the fine art vs. craft art debate, i dig andy goldsworthy however.

[imported_b0b]

In my local bookshop they have a new Goldsworthy book out for christmas; all these stone egg shaped things in various settings and loads of upwards pointing icicles. I hope I'm getting it.
