For my last entry for now i found the artist James coleman to be extremely interesting. In this articles it was written by Tim Stott from After All magazine in the most recent issue. James Coleman works with film, as well as sculptures. He just recently finished his trilogy of slidtape projections. I had the chance asside from reading i also got to view pictures of his sculptures.After viewing a few pictures of the three pieces in the trilogy Tim described his work as
"the concern processes of reconstruction and examination, the documentary potential of photographic imagery and the uneasy proximity of voice and image; but also, unavoidably, remembrance and the uncertain and fascinating passage of the dead amongst the living" ( Tim Stott, After All magazine)
Not only does James create art he puts even more into it than that. He creates a story, gives them names and personality. This makes the art just that much more realistic. His work is more contemporary and not so much as international as the pervious artist i mentioned in my last paper. But he is pretty well known. You can view his work in a gallery, it never really stated where so much. i would highly recommend looking for it online to. Even just seeing the pictures you are blown away.
The reason why i choose this article is because as lame as it may sound. just by looking at the thumb nail online, your first intential thought is that they are real people. Then when you read the bigger article you can see that they're not real at all. Sure they all have names, and a conflict going on between the four. Then you go on to read n how it's a slidtape, images, as well as a sculpture! So it's a trilogy art. I really haven't seen sculptures as life like as these and reading the name of the piece as background i couldn't help but read on.

Samantha - again this a good start, maybe even a stronger one that your other post. (I am reading this maybe in the order they were posted. This is at the top of the page but I read it second.)
What I like about this post is that it has a lot of you, a lot of your reaction. I'd still like though to read you take it further, past the initial intrigue and enthusiasm and interest.
Why does it interest you so, what do you think Coleman is doing by taking his subjects through so many media, why does he deploy realism so? What kind of address do you think he is making to the viewer?
All to say: you were clearly struck by the work: what do you think Coleman is up to that engages you so? Tell me more!
Thanks, i apreciate your insight and i'll try and work on that more when i write my next blog.
