Ok, I tried it and maybe it wasn’t really successful (not this time around) but it sure beat sitting there and taking notes…oh wait, kind of the same thing.
I attended the Triangle Arts Workshop panel discussion on “Eternity?: Do you imagine your art as lasting into perpetuity or do you make it to exist only for its time?” and let my thoughts/tweets/notes flow unfiltered (which has its pros & cons)…hope I don’t live to regret it.
This is what I tweeted chronologically from first to last (Twitter links included):
- Going to try twittering a panel I’m attending at Triangle on the longevity of art and its materials (link).
- Photographer asked about role time/longevity plays in her work since photography is about stopping time (link)
- Answers: Photog answers technology often becomes fetishizes over time like daguerrotypes (link).
- Another panelist/artist: Topic turns to death. Longevity is about mortality? Brings up Eva Hesse & eventfulness. {not sure what that means} (link)
- Critic panelist: more about the artists ‘system’…this one is confusing but there was a fight on the panel…gettin’ good (link).
- Another panelist: says he is a 1980s doom generation kid & can’t stand creating in ‘permanent’ materials….what a freak (link).
- Doom generationer says it’s more about ideas and not objects (link).
- Some just lobbed the white male bomb into the conversation (link).
- Good question: did the cave painters think their work would last (link)?
- One panelist thinks Nan Goldin won’t last as time goes on (link).
At this point I got up to take some pics and realized how tough it is to tweet during a panel…let’s see if it gets easier…
