  1. Hello,
  2. My name is Alejandro Rodriguez and I'll
  3. be presenting spirit cooking by marina Abramovic.
  4. The exhibit,
  5. the video was a promotion art slash exhibit for spirit cooking
  6. and it displayed some of her past artwork as well.
  7. This I referred to pass our work because it
  8. contains many media's of art, such as performance art
  9. literature
  10. and
  11. videos as well.
  12. I wanted to include a warning because it does
  13. visually, it does show some blood,
  14. real blood
  15. and her art. So yes,
  16. this is a video
  17. more about the art and how I relate to it.
  18. Spirit cooking.
  19. Spirit cooking was originally a series of art made by Marine Abramovich
  20. and has been known by some as a demonic ritual.
  21. Some have called marina Abramovic brahma Vich in which due to uncommon artwork,
  22. her artwork is more experimental and never seen before.
  23. She plays around with um
  24. blood,
  25. many graphic scenes such as bones
  26. and
  27. Nike,
  28. she's very spiritual. So she like likes to include like more realistic
  29. things in her heart.
  30. And
  31. in my opinion,
  32. if a group of people think
  33. as you as a crazy demonic witch,
  34. just because you have a unique art style that you are truly have,
  35. that you truly have a gift because
  36. like
  37. the
  38. the way you could like make people think that you're different or
  39. even demonic just because you have
  40. art style that not really really
  41. like gets into. It's like really unique and
  42. and it shows how unique you are and
  43. like people are not used to seeing this type of art.
  44. So they might think like it's wrong or it's
  45. I'm not okay with society
  46. because it's
  47. like
  48. different
  49. and weird
  50. but like
  51. good because it's like
  52. not seen
  53. anywhere, it's like barely seen and nobody really does art.
  54. Like Marina Abramovich because
  55. she like involves many like
  56. ways to do it, such as
  57. performance art and like
  58. cookbooks and stuff like that experiences people can experience
  59. info
  60. spirit cooking. I selected spirit cooking because I love experimental art
  61. that is risky
  62. and tests the boundaries such as performance art. Spirit cooking.
  63. It's weird different in a unique way because it's like
  64. not really seen as much because performance art
  65. I guess weird in a way, but like
  66. I find it interesting and I love to
  67. view like stuff that nobody really nobody really does
  68. and like to see it and experience it in like videos or in real life even it's just like,
  69. it really inspires me into like viewing more
  70. unseen art and stuff that people don't really
  71. see or like to admire because it's like nobody really
  72. like has like done it really good.
  73. Not good, but like has really done it
  74. like
  75. in like a mainstream way,
  76. details about spirit cooking. Spirit cooking was Abramovich's
  77. first artwork involving printmaking since this artwork is a cookbook
  78. detailing a ritual like recipe.
  79. This is us
  80. one of her sections of series of
  81. spirit cooking because it is like,
  82. it has many series and like
  83. ways she has done it,
  84. but I want to focus more on the book and
  85. the experience which is in the past video that I showed
  86. a cookbook was prepared with soft ground so
  87. that Abramovic couldn't scratch straight into the surface such
  88. with her fingernails doing so it made her work with spit bite
  89. painting on the plate with her own saliva and nitric acid.
  90. Like the
  91. the first because there's pictures of it and it's
  92. really unique on how she has composed this art piece.
  93. Mhm
  94. And it really shows her uniqueness and how she involves
  95. gets herself involved into her art
  96. and really like experienced it since she is a performance artist
  97. and to the left, I included the cover of her cookbook. Spirit cooking
  98. about the artwork.
  99. Spirit cooking with essential after Asiatic recipes
  100. and it was finished and
  101. 1996 Inside a Brahma Vicks Amsterdam Studio.
  102. Although spirit cooking is a series of performance art,
  103. that detail is more of a of what
  104. Abramovic visualizes and wants her audience to interpret
  105. spirit cooking
  106. exhibit slash experiences
  107. was
  108. which was done in 1997 uses many arts
  109. media such as engaging senses, visual texture
  110. with clumps of the
  111. clumped blood which is seen in the video,
  112. one of the most important ones which is light
  113. because she was just lighting like in the video,
  114. it's like dim makes people feel like lonely in a way
  115. mysterious to like it makes up
  116. the environment
  117. like mysterious and like
  118. kind of scary in a way
  119. since Abramovic likes to experiment
  120. with her artwork, she's
  121. seen as crazy was an exhibit
  122. spirit cooking
  123. it was done in and because it was done in an empty room
  124. so its viewers
  125. we're experience minting was experiencing
  126. called loneliness which is more of a disturbing feel
  127. due to a group of people finding a Abramovich's work
  128. disturbing is what makes her controversial in a way because um
  129. like her art is like I guess it's close to her
  130. and like Sheila it means a lot to her of course,
  131. because she is the creator of it. But like
  132. the way people interpret it makes her feel like I
  133. guess it empowered because she has the power to like,
  134. like make people feel a certain way that they
  135. like maybe don't like maybe do like but like
  136. it's like it's like really special how she like makes
  137. people feel and like how people interpret her art.
  138. It's special because like
  139. that's what an artist basically wants to people experience
  140. there are
  141. and interpret it in their own way because that's what art really is.
  142. At least in my opinion,
  143. my artwork, my artwork titled with la morada.
  144. I used my own eye as a reference and
  145. I wanted to make a visual representation of my depression
  146. in a way.
  147. La morada is
  148. an expression of how I feel when I am isolated and
  149. feel the disassociated with the world. Like
  150. I guess when I feel lonely
  151. in a way and like
  152. I guess like
  153. I want to include like many like
  154. themes in a way, like the sadness with the
  155. black
  156. yeah
  157. drooping down the cheek
  158. and like the the way it's like the eyes looking up.
  159. I just like felt like that was appropriate with this artwork since it's
  160. detaining like
  161. a sad emotion
  162. in a way.
  163. I didn't include some things that keep me happy in a way.
  164. Like the rose and the top
  165. and like the colors around.
  166. I kind of feel like bugs I guess
  167. in a way it looks like it.
  168. And
  169. I want to include like the
  170. abstract feel of art and like, like random swatches of
  171. are and
  172. like the shading in the back
  173. Which took me like around like 10 minutes to do. It was really easy. And for me
  174. and I did drew the draw that I
  175. it sketched it out first in my sketchbook and I sketched it on the
  176. canvas and it came out like how I wanted honestly.
  177. And
  178. I always have Nicholas um it's called a logo, that's what we call it,
  179. that's how I call it.
  180. And like I wear every day and I included it
  181. in the bottom left
  182. in the,
  183. in the painting. It's like
  184. I wear every day. So it's close to me. It means a lot to me too
  185. are elements themes
  186. wait
