Hello,
00:01 - 00:03
My name is Alejandro Rodriguez and I'll
00:03 - 00:05
be presenting spirit cooking by marina Abramovic.
00:08 - 00:08
The exhibit,
00:09 - 00:12
the video was a promotion art slash exhibit for spirit cooking
00:12 - 00:15
and it displayed some of her past artwork as well.
00:16 - 00:19
This I referred to pass our work because it
00:20 - 00:24
contains many media's of art, such as performance art
00:25 - 00:26
literature
00:26 - 00:27
and
00:29 - 00:30
videos as well.
00:31 - 00:34
I wanted to include a warning because it does
00:36 - 00:38
visually, it does show some blood,
00:39 - 00:40
real blood
00:40 - 00:43
and her art. So yes,
00:43 - 00:44
this is a video
00:54 - 00:56
more about the art and how I relate to it.
00:58 - 00:59
Spirit cooking.
01:00 - 01:05
Spirit cooking was originally a series of art made by Marine Abramovich
01:05 - 01:09
and has been known by some as a demonic ritual.
01:10 - 01:15
Some have called marina Abramovic brahma Vich in which due to uncommon artwork,
01:17 - 01:21
her artwork is more experimental and never seen before.
01:21 - 01:23
She plays around with um
01:24 - 01:25
blood,
01:26 - 01:29
many graphic scenes such as bones
01:29 - 01:30
and
01:31 - 01:31
Nike,
01:32 - 01:36
she's very spiritual. So she like likes to include like more realistic
01:37 - 01:38
things in her heart.
01:39 - 01:40
And
01:40 - 01:41
in my opinion,
01:41 - 01:43
if a group of people think
01:43 - 01:45
as you as a crazy demonic witch,
01:46 - 01:51
just because you have a unique art style that you are truly have,
01:51 - 01:53
that you truly have a gift because
01:53 - 01:54
like
01:55 - 01:56
the
01:56 - 02:01
the way you could like make people think that you're different or
02:02 - 02:05
even demonic just because you have
02:05 - 02:07
art style that not really really
02:08 - 02:12
like gets into. It's like really unique and
02:13 - 02:16
and it shows how unique you are and
02:17 - 02:21
like people are not used to seeing this type of art.
02:21 - 02:25
So they might think like it's wrong or it's
02:25 - 02:28
I'm not okay with society
02:29 - 02:30
because it's
02:30 - 02:31
like
02:31 - 02:32
different
02:32 - 02:33
and weird
02:33 - 02:34
but like
02:34 - 02:36
good because it's like
02:37 - 02:38
not seen
02:38 - 02:42
anywhere, it's like barely seen and nobody really does art.
02:42 - 02:44
Like Marina Abramovich because
02:45 - 02:47
she like involves many like
02:48 - 02:49
ways to do it, such as
02:50 - 02:52
performance art and like
02:53 - 02:57
cookbooks and stuff like that experiences people can experience
03:03 - 03:04
info
03:07 - 03:11
spirit cooking. I selected spirit cooking because I love experimental art
03:12 - 03:13
that is risky
03:13 - 03:17
and tests the boundaries such as performance art. Spirit cooking.
03:17 - 03:20
It's weird different in a unique way because it's like
03:21 - 03:25
not really seen as much because performance art
03:25 - 03:28
I guess weird in a way, but like
03:28 - 03:32
I find it interesting and I love to
03:32 - 03:35
view like stuff that nobody really nobody really does
03:36 - 03:42
and like to see it and experience it in like videos or in real life even it's just like,
03:43 - 03:46
it really inspires me into like viewing more
03:47 - 03:50
unseen art and stuff that people don't really
03:51 - 03:56
see or like to admire because it's like nobody really
03:56 - 03:59
like has like done it really good.
03:59 - 04:01
Not good, but like has really done it
04:03 - 04:03
like
04:03 - 04:05
in like a mainstream way,
04:08 - 04:12
details about spirit cooking. Spirit cooking was Abramovich's
04:13 - 04:17
first artwork involving printmaking since this artwork is a cookbook
04:18 - 04:20
detailing a ritual like recipe.
04:21 - 04:22
This is us
04:22 - 04:25
one of her sections of series of
04:25 - 04:28
spirit cooking because it is like,
04:28 - 04:31
it has many series and like
04:32 - 04:33
ways she has done it,
04:34 - 04:36
but I want to focus more on the book and
04:36 - 04:39
the experience which is in the past video that I showed
04:40 - 04:44
a cookbook was prepared with soft ground so
04:44 - 04:48
that Abramovic couldn't scratch straight into the surface such
04:49 - 04:54
with her fingernails doing so it made her work with spit bite
04:55 - 04:59
painting on the plate with her own saliva and nitric acid.
05:00 - 05:01
Like the
05:01 - 05:04
the first because there's pictures of it and it's
05:05 - 05:08
really unique on how she has composed this art piece.
05:09 - 05:09
Mhm
05:11 - 05:14
And it really shows her uniqueness and how she involves
05:15 - 05:17
gets herself involved into her art
05:17 - 05:21
and really like experienced it since she is a performance artist
05:22 - 05:27
and to the left, I included the cover of her cookbook. Spirit cooking
05:30 - 05:31
about the artwork.
05:32 - 05:37
Spirit cooking with essential after Asiatic recipes
05:37 - 05:38
and it was finished and
05:39 - 05:43
1996 Inside a Brahma Vicks Amsterdam Studio.
05:44 - 05:47
Although spirit cooking is a series of performance art,
05:47 - 05:49
that detail is more of a of what
05:49 - 05:53
Abramovic visualizes and wants her audience to interpret
05:54 - 05:55
spirit cooking
05:56 - 05:57
exhibit slash experiences
05:58 - 05:59
was
05:59 - 06:02
which was done in 1997 uses many arts
06:03 - 06:06
media such as engaging senses, visual texture
06:07 - 06:08
with clumps of the
06:09 - 06:11
clumped blood which is seen in the video,
06:12 - 06:15
one of the most important ones which is light
06:15 - 06:18
because she was just lighting like in the video,
06:18 - 06:22
it's like dim makes people feel like lonely in a way
06:23 - 06:25
mysterious to like it makes up
06:26 - 06:27
the environment
06:28 - 06:29
like mysterious and like
06:30 - 06:32
kind of scary in a way
06:33 - 06:36
since Abramovic likes to experiment
06:36 - 06:38
with her artwork, she's
06:38 - 06:40
seen as crazy was an exhibit
06:42 - 06:43
spirit cooking
06:43 - 06:46
it was done in and because it was done in an empty room
06:47 - 06:48
so its viewers
06:49 - 06:52
we're experience minting was experiencing
06:52 - 06:56
called loneliness which is more of a disturbing feel
06:58 - 07:01
due to a group of people finding a Abramovich's work
07:01 - 07:05
disturbing is what makes her controversial in a way because um
07:06 - 07:10
like her art is like I guess it's close to her
07:10 - 07:13
and like Sheila it means a lot to her of course,
07:13 - 07:15
because she is the creator of it. But like
07:16 - 07:18
the way people interpret it makes her feel like I
07:18 - 07:21
guess it empowered because she has the power to like,
07:23 - 07:25
like make people feel a certain way that they
07:25 - 07:28
like maybe don't like maybe do like but like
07:29 - 07:32
it's like it's like really special how she like makes
07:32 - 07:35
people feel and like how people interpret her art.
07:36 - 07:37
It's special because like
07:38 - 07:41
that's what an artist basically wants to people experience
07:42 - 07:43
there are
07:44 - 07:47
and interpret it in their own way because that's what art really is.
07:48 - 07:50
At least in my opinion,
07:55 - 07:59
my artwork, my artwork titled with la morada.
07:59 - 08:01
I used my own eye as a reference and
08:01 - 08:06
I wanted to make a visual representation of my depression
08:06 - 08:06
in a way.
08:08 - 08:09
La morada is
08:09 - 08:13
an expression of how I feel when I am isolated and
08:14 - 08:16
feel the disassociated with the world. Like
08:16 - 08:18
I guess when I feel lonely
08:19 - 08:20
in a way and like
08:21 - 08:22
I guess like
08:23 - 08:25
I want to include like many like
08:26 - 08:29
themes in a way, like the sadness with the
08:29 - 08:30
black
08:30 - 08:30
yeah
08:31 - 08:33
drooping down the cheek
08:34 - 08:37
and like the the way it's like the eyes looking up.
08:38 - 08:42
I just like felt like that was appropriate with this artwork since it's
08:43 - 08:44
detaining like
08:45 - 08:47
a sad emotion
08:47 - 08:47
in a way.
08:49 - 08:53
I didn't include some things that keep me happy in a way.
08:53 - 08:56
Like the rose and the top
08:57 - 08:59
and like the colors around.
08:59 - 09:02
I kind of feel like bugs I guess
09:02 - 09:04
in a way it looks like it.
09:04 - 09:04
And
09:05 - 09:06
I want to include like the
09:07 - 09:11
abstract feel of art and like, like random swatches of
09:12 - 09:13
are and
09:14 - 09:16
like the shading in the back
09:17 - 09:22
Which took me like around like 10 minutes to do. It was really easy. And for me
09:23 - 09:26
and I did drew the draw that I
09:26 - 09:30
it sketched it out first in my sketchbook and I sketched it on the
09:31 - 09:34
canvas and it came out like how I wanted honestly.
09:35 - 09:35
And
09:37 - 09:42
I always have Nicholas um it's called a logo, that's what we call it,
09:42 - 09:43
that's how I call it.
09:43 - 09:46
And like I wear every day and I included it
09:46 - 09:48
in the bottom left
09:48 - 09:49
in the,
09:49 - 09:51
in the painting. It's like
09:52 - 09:56
I wear every day. So it's close to me. It means a lot to me too
10:00 - 10:02
are elements themes
10:05 - 10:05
