Tim Hawkinson

Bird, 1997
(Made of artist's fingernail clippings)


Corner Clock, 1996


Emoter, 2002
(Moving articulated artist's face)


What I still like most about Tim Hawkinson is explanation of why his image is the source material for a lot of his work. He says that his face is "readily available" and that he "owns the sole copyright to his face", but also that in the end, the work is too abstracted to look like it even started as him.

Katharina Fritsch

Katharina Fritsch, good stuff.




I first saw Kind mit Pudeln last year at the sf moma, and have been waiting to find more of Fritsch's work until now. It stuck with me for sure.. I've said it before and I'll say it again - the art world would be better if everyone could pull off the cleanliness that the minimalists did.
