According to chatgpt:
Tania Bruguera
Jeanne van Heeswijk
Thomas Hirschhorn
Theaster Gates
Marinella Senatore
I feel I want to interview the people if that is possible. Must be possible for Rotterdam based artists (Jelmer Konjo, Kamiel Verschuren, Jeanne Verhees)
And I like to research two bigger artists such as Rirkrit Travanija, Tania Bruguera, or Thomas Hirschhorn.
Approach to the assignment:
- Write down artists from the top of my head and , look up artists that chatgpt recommends, and brows the 'twenty first century art book'
- Choose 4 artists. 2 local 2 big.
- Make repositories on all 4, collect and document the research.
- Make collages on all 4 in the style of Thomas Hirschhorn.
- Hand in.
During the ruangrupa research a friend introduced me to reinaart vanhoe. He has been working with ruangrupa since 2002. I decided to change the narrative from only ruangrupa to a more reflective interview about ruangrupa and the praxis of reinaart. I share this interview integrally on the ruru page in this document.
