Response to Now That I'm A Woman, Everything Is Strange

The first thing that came to mind when reading this article about Shana Moulton was - this is really strange. But i'm pretty sure that's the whole point of her Whispering Pines series. She focuses on the niche products and entertainment in todays societies that have to be curated for people or else they don't stand a chance against their competitors.

After watching portions of the whispering pines series, the point of aesthetic accomplishment within ones life became more aware to me. Her character puts extensive time and money into creating her world around her, yet after completing all of these tasks / arrangements she sits down on the couch and remains empty inside. The surface level of tranquility is something that everyone attempts to show others, in hopes of convincing them we are completely ok and calm in life - when in reality we are constantly in a panic underneath the surface. Moulton does a good job of representing both sides of this equation.
Moulton,

I'm in an Arts Management and Entrepreneurship class about cultural policy right now, so I found this to be and interesting exploration of how Policy affects the creation of art. I always subconsciously figured that no matter what, people would continuously create art, which I still believe. I just never considered the ways in which policies about art would influence it's creation. Like in the same way that political changes would influence the tone of art, policy changes involving the commissioning and support of art and artistic spaces would affect they types of art produced. I've had a few conversations about how much art related to racial identity is borne of desire to create the type of art and how much is a result of a belief that that's t he type of art that sells most reliably for artists of color. It makes me wonder if there are policies that I don't know about that have impacted the amount of a particular type of art being produced, like museums

Response to Beard - Jack Davis

A quote from Sirk says that you can't make a film about things, you can only make films with things. These works by Shana Moulton seem to solely focus on specific objects, or "things". The subject of these works seems not to be her, but rather, the different whimsical and random objects that seem have a personality of their own. Puzzles, crystal light, artificial waterfalls. All of these objects seem to interact with Moulton, and are more than just static objects. They become alive and are just as much of a character as she is. She also uses different icons and imagery that seem to bring in ideas of institutions, but these seem to be very separated from the "objects".

Response To Thomas Beard

A quote at the end of the article resonated with me " So what’s changed? In short, the archive has exploded." Works like Whispering Pines are drawing from an archive of pop imagery, domestic patterns, new ageism, psychedelics, and domestic patterns to create a new hybrid commentary on our daily lives. Such a mixture, with so many various elements, would not be plausible in any other age but the digital one we are currently inhabiting- how could such a mish mash of elements possibly come together into a single body of work. The archive has allowed for an artist to draw from a diverse array of sources and to construct intersections, hybrids, and new ideas like never before. Whether an attached cushion, or a video portal, we are living in an age where there is more flexibility in the elements utilized, there is now a more abstract definition of what something means, and our own interpretation of it is more easily skewed,
