installation and performance artists

Elaine Miles

The installation artists I like the most have to be Eva Hesse, Jessica Stockholder and Christian Boltanski.

Eva Hesse- I think Eva made really amazing pieces of art. They look so raw and simple but at the same time can appear really complex.

Jessica Stockholder- I love the idea of going into a space and filling it with colorful objects based just on the way the room makes you feel. It's so spontaneous and strange but really cool.

Christian Boltanski- His work has a very haunting quality to it that is really captivating. I like how he uses light and old photos to bring out a mood that can make you incredibly sad or frightened sometimes even at the same time. I like the idea of using lights and simple objects to make a person feel really strongly about the space and work.

Andy Goldsworthy

I love how passionate Andy Goldsworthy is about his work. All of his work takes so much patience and none of it lasts for very long. It's really impressive how he can stay so calm even when his work falls apart before he can admire it. His connection with each piece of natural material in the art that he uses is really coo;, I don't think all artists have that same connection with their work like he does. I admire the fact that he understands that not all his pieces are going to work out and that eventually they will all be gone.
