Jennifer Lavonian- Animated Clip

Buffalo Milk Yogurt

I recently read about this work in Bomb magazine. Lavonian's art deals with the gentrification of our culture. I was just in a Whole Foods grocery store today which is why I chose to post this particular video. William Kentridge has been mentioned in this class and is referenced on the side bar on this blog.  I prefer Kentridge's drawing and think that his work has greater impact albeit his subject matter is much more serious.

Andrew (? - not sure who posted this),
I liked the video's comment. The pace and gentleness of the illustrations made it bemused rather than bitter.

That's true, people can laugh at themselves a bit.

Few artists combine poetry and politics with the ease of Mr. Kentridge - his background is in theatre, which results in a man who is keenly aware of the viewer's response. Alice Anne hit the nail on the head - Bemused is definitely better than bitter...
