I was really interested in the interview with Thomas Hirschhorn. It was like everything he said coincided with what I believe about art, yet a thousand times more eloquant and he even went deeper than what I have been treading in.
Unlike a lot of the other readings we've done, I was really pushed to research what this dude has made.
I got a taste from this site : http://www.gladstonegallery.com/hirschhorn.asp?id=1410
It was weird, because I expected us to have real similar aesthetic, but we reallyyy don't. In fact, I have trouble making sense of the works he made- so much clutter! Universal Gym is like on the polar opposite end of what I like art to look like. I generally am not attracted to collections of ready-made objects and shitty craft construction. But, I still love his ideas about the nature of art and would be eager to use him to help me sort and vocalize what I want to do.
