Steve Lovett

On the 13th October we had a lecture name Steve Lovett, he came to talk to us about his development through his art practice works, where he has been exploring the formal qualities of the point of art and that the point of his Art relates back to sending people an message with Art, or the message is to be send in some kind of Art form language in my opinion. Steve has already made or printed; he printed images that are about the history of representation and the polilitics associated, his primary concerns are with the time and narrative forms and that his practice has been about history and story telling. It is how we participate in public space that surrounds us to become part of Steve practice what he calls it public discourse and historical record. His motivation for his own practice is the people that he communicates with for his practice. On this picture is an Artwork form Steve, it is called the Millennium walking. His artwork on the billboard is a transcription of series and he has been interviewing a lot of his volunteers, which had participated to his practice. Steve has engaged into his practice because his practice relates to what he had been about in my opinion history and telling story. While Steve was collaborating he spent time listening to stories and having a conversation, and in that billboard is the people that volunteered to tell there story. The reason why I choose this billboard that Steve has created is that his Artwork theory makes me understand about how he works with identity too in his practice. And how his movement through his Art practicing increases with the motivation he has of collaborating with other people that would volunteer in his practice.

  1. Thanks Lio,

    I feel like you are really trying to get a grasp on Steve's work, and it's not easy! But don't forget, further research is the way to get more marks, which includes quotes, website addresses, etc... And since you have already got your 10 entries, unless you are going to go hard out and do an extra special entry, I would stop now, and concentrate on your essay.

    Cheers,
