Critique Reflection #2
Take some time to reflect on your critique, and the critiques of your peers in Senior Seminar, as well as the gallery show critiques we’ve been doing each Tuesday for the past few months.
Answer the following questions to guide you in reflection on the dialogue we have been having around your work and the work of the Senior Seminar and Culmination community this semester. Use your critique reflection post to collect your thoughts and reflections on these conversations in one place.
(I will grade the critique reflection as part of your final blog check, due on May 5th.)
How would you summarize the conversation we had around the work you presented for your last critique? How did you feel about the conversation? What did you like about what was said in relationship to your work? What didn’t you like? What do you wish was said?
What critique had the biggest impact on you? What critique conversation was most related to your art or art practice? What critique conversation challenged you? What critique conversation surprised you? What critique conversation taught you the most about art? What did you learn?

installation view of current exhibition at Big Pictures Los Angeles called “Airtight Garage” curated by Laurie Nye. The show is on view until May 12, so there is still time to check it out...
From the press release:
“In 1976 The Airtight Garage, conceived by French cartoonist Jean Giraud aka Moebius, began appearing as a comic strip in the French magazine, Métal Hurlant. The garage refers to an asteroid contained in the constellation Leo, which houses a pocket universe of developing worlds, overseen by a space colonist. Collected into a graphic novel, Airtight Garage has been described as a “map of creation”, which goes beyond world-building to explore the creative act itself. The fantasy world of the Garage accommodated any idea and welcomed any representational style of self description.
Like the interstellar garage, holding an interconnected multiverse, the artists assembled for this exhibition represent a microcosm of visionary modalities. Each has developed a singular vision and created a new world born from various experiences and influences such as primitivism, psychedelic abstraction, and neo-symbolism. The artworks range from sculpture, painting, and drawing, and convey shifts between fantasy and reality. By being so thoroughly concerned with the worlds they describe these works create an interesting tension at the fringe of the contemporary art sphere, while being wholly modern in their timeless abandon.”

Visiting Artist: Meeson Pae Yang
We are so excited to welcome Meeson Pae Yang, a Los Angeles based artist to lecture about her work coming up on Tuesday, April 24th, at 7:30pm in Rood 51.
Meeson Pae Yang’s work explores the convergence of science, technology and mythology into a thickly layered stratum of images and objects reflecting systems within nature. Intersections and parallels in systems become unfolding metaphors and imagery to dissect and explore. Much of the work begins by extracting simple elements and then expanding, repeating, and extending these components into transmuted conglomerations.
The process of the work involves a methodical collecting of artifacts, images, and sounds to synthesize and compress into expansive visual fields. Working in a variety of media from painting, video, sculpture and installation, each medium is a tool to process natural phenomena from the microscopic to the macroscopic. ____________________________
Meeson Pae Yang was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. She received her B.F.A from the University of California Los Angeles and an M.F.A from the California State University of Long Beach. Yang’s solo exhibitions and projects have been shown internationally and nationally at Galerie Kashya Hildebrand (Zurich, Switzerland), ArtHK (Hong Kong, China), ARCO (Madrid, Spain), Contemporary Istanbul (Istanbul, Turkey), Peter Millard & Partners (London, UK), Artertain (Seoul, South Korea), LAUNCHLA (Los Angeles, CA), and Angels Gate Cultural Center (San Pedro, US). Her group exhibitions include FuXin Gallery (Shanghai & Miami), Galerie Agentur 162 (Essen, Germany), Eli Klein Fine Art (New York, NY), Kala Art Institute (Berkeley, CA), and Harvard University’s Carpenter Center (Cambridge, MA). Yang is a recipient of the James Irvine Foundation’s California New Visions Award, the Durfee Foundation’s ARC award, the Hans G. and Lordis W. Burkhardt Foundation Award, AHL Foundation Award, and the Beverly Alpay Award. Her work is in the permanent collections of Ace Gallery (Los Angeles), Dallas World Trade Center, as well as many private collections. Yang’s public art projects include Le Meridien Hotel (Zhengzhou, China), Royal Caribbean International Ltd (Papenburg, Germany), Phoenix Biomedical University Campus (Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture), M&D Properties (Pasadena Arts & Culture Commission), LAX International Airport (Department of Cultural Affairs), Ontario Airport (Department of Cultural Affairs), and Mobile Exhibits (Arts Council for Long Beach. Yang has been featured in Sculpture Magazine, Art Ltd Magazine, Vice:The Creators Project, Theme Magazine, New Scientist, the Korea Times, and the Los Angeles Times.
___________________________
After her lecture, Meeson will be available to meet with a few artists for studio visits. Please email me ASAP if you are interested in having a studio visit with our Visiting Artist.

Things to Learn in Senior Seminar
Meaning does not exist in the singular / 98
It is a transaction between two or more conscious minds. Your work is an attempt to bridge understanding between you and others. For this reason, there is no such thing as private symbolism. Meaning derives from communication.
Understand the implications of the “intentional fallacy” / 88
Once your work leaves your studio, it will be judged on what viewers find there. If you intention is not manifested in the body of work itself, it is of little consequence. You will not be present to explain it and defend it. Viewers and posterity, have the last word on the work’s meaning.
Perception is a reciprocal action / 12
Viewers bring to the act of seeing individual sets of conscious and unconscious reactions that affect their response to the visual stimulus put before them. This is the beauty of images, even in their most minimal form- such as a single line. All marks, smudges, pictures, forms take on a life of their own and accrue meaning under the gaze of a viewer. Viewers activate the thing perceived. You can control the artwork, but not reaction to it.
