A large charcol drawing of a photograph i took, produced on a large scale white paper

sculpture in progress

i started by making my hand and gate using wire

then i covered it with a frosty white coloured tape that made it more life like.

Using an image i took i painted simular colours to this is seen below.

James Casebere

I like how this artist explores spaces that almost looks like there's no escape ,no way out (confinded)

Experimental film and video art

i found this photograph vey interesting as she makes the shape of a volin and uses two television with motion pictures present

Abramović has used her body as both subject and medium of her performances to test her physical, mental, and emotional limits—often pushing beyond them and even risking her life—in a quest for heightened consciousness, transcendence, and self-transformation.

I like the way she shows she confind to an area packed with animals (lambs) but she as as human feels different hence the name of this painting black sleep

this shows a door way where three people are confined- this interests me as it applies to my brief.

Laurie Anderson

The art scene of the early 1970s fostered an experimental attitude among many young artists in downtown New York that attracted Anderson, and some of her earliest performances as a young artist took place on the street or in informal art spaces. Anderson has gone on to create large-scale theatrical works which combine a variety of media—music, video, storytelling, projected imagery, sculpture—in which she is an electrifying performer.

William Kentridge

Kentridge brings the ambiguity and subtlety of personal experience to public subjects that are most often framed in narrowly defined terms. Using film, drawing, sculpture, animation, and performance, he transmutes sobering political events into powerful poetic allegories. In a now-signature technique, Kentridge photographs his charcoal drawings and paper collages over time, recording scenes as they evolve. Working without a script or storyboard, he plots out each animated film, preserving every addition and erasure. I like how he creates clever short videos with sketchy drawings but are really effective.
