Joseph Beuys And The Iron Room

The artist of whose work I observed was Damien Hirst. He was born June 7 1965 and is an English artist, entrepreneur and art collector. The piece of art I observed was “Bring Forth the Fruits of Righteousness from Darkness”, it is a gloss covered canvas covered by real butterfly wings and household paint. It is set up to resemble three stained-glass windows from a gothic cathedral. The piece is on display at the Cleveland Museum of art and on loan for five years. The work of art showcases Hirst’s theme of death that is shown in many of his pieces.

James Baldwin’s novel, Giovanni’s Room, follows the protagonist, David, as he embarks on a self-journey to establish an identity, personal and sexual, for himself. David is trapped in an American ideal of masculinity and homosexuality that does not define who he truly is, a homosexual male. David tries to pull away from his true desires and constantly struggles to embrace the heteronormative American life instead of being honest and accepting his true self. Throughout the entire novel, David associates darkness, filth and containment with homosexuality, queerness and different spaces that represent sin. Towards the end of the novel, at the end of his self-journey, David, although not literally contained or confined to Giovanni’s room or other dark spaces, does not truly resolve his issues with his true identity and internally will never truly be free.

When controlling reality, everything is easier, such manipulation consistent of lies and deception. However, who in reality who is being deceived? The individuals believing the performance, or, believing the role you presume to have? Only for a moment will this version last causing reality to longer be contained. Rather now, reality is now confronting you, bringing into light the true enemy; the person you truly fear, yourself. Such internal struggle is seen within James Baldwin’s novel Giovanni’s Room, though Baldwin’s depiction of the protagonist David and his escape from America in hope to discover another identity that he associates with, even if the association goes against his internal desires. Baldwin’s use of self-deception and the internal struggle of the man within his novel demonstrates the resistance in accepting a homosexual lifestyle resulting in the manipulation of the self in order to transform such homosexual mentality into a heterosexual one. However, committing such change leads to a void within the self, creating pain and disappointment.

In this particular Artwork of Ann Hamilton, I notice that she constructs a fabricated environment that was labor intensive and it consist of humans with animals. Most of the Materials used drew my attention. According to Ann Hamilton's website, Hamilton and assistants laid 750,000 copper pennies on a honey-coated floor. Behind the pennies sat an isolated figure in plain clothes, wringing its hands over a honey filled felt hat. And behind the figure was an enclosure of grazing sheep. The pennies looked like the scales of a gigantic fish. Hamilton used a lot of materials in this installation that gives the viewer clues to the meaning of the work. For example, She used pennies; the pennies were laid by hand, by laying out the pennies it looks

The experiences of people living in ethnic enclaves have long attracted the attention of many scholars, journalists and writers because they want to understand how these communities are formed, and how the residents of these neighborhoods perceive their identity. This discussion included in this paper will be based on the analysis of literary and scholarly works. For instance, it is possible to refer to such authors as Nella Larsen and Yomme Chang who describe isolated ethnic communities. Furthermore, one can examine the novel Giovanni’s Room written by James Baldwin who examines the reasons why the representatives of the LGBT community can form their own enclaves. Overall, these people can be affected by different factors such as cultural segregation, poverty, linguistic barriers, homophobia, and so forth. Nevertheless, the critical issue is that they feel marginalized and isolated because some aspects of their identity are not accepted by the society. Moreover, these traits can be viewed as the signs of a certain deficiency.

Pictures are used throughout literary work to assist authors in portraying an idea. “A picture is worth a thousand words,” which is why Lila Quintero Weaver decided to use images to support her ideas in her graphic novel, Darkroom: A Memoir in Black and White. Her graphic novels looks back at her childhood when she moved from Argentina to Mobile, Alabama during the era of Jim Crow’s laws and the Civil Rights Movement. Weaver uses a variety of images to support her idea that racial segregation continues even after segregation had been ruled illegal.

The exhibition was an idyllic location for the piece to be shown as it encapsulated the theme of “Collecting.” A extremely common theme through photograms is collecting, from the early blue tinted cyanotypes of Anna Atkins to the black and white “Rayographs” of Man Ray, photographers have consistently used light sensitive emulsion to capture found items and items of significance. This is no different in “Love” although the objects are animals rather than scissors, rulers or other inanimate objects they are still being treated as though they are simply another collected piece. The rabbits have been posed delicately as though they are a pair of children’s dolls being set up for the next game of “Mommies and Daddies” with their paws outstretched yearning for the intimacy and embrace of their spouse. Their innards have been intertwined with precision and purpose signifying the entanglement of their deep-rooted desire to be a part of each other, even in death. However, despite the symbolism and past lives of the lovers, the rabbits are still treated as mere objects to be exhibited as part of a

Nailon strolled from the store, popping two aspirin before settling inside. He grimaced, rubbing his forehead and let out a low groan. “How far away are we?”

Of course, every poet has their beginnings. Edward Estlin’s life began on the 14th of October in 1984 in Cambridge, Massachusetts to well-educated and liberal parents, and Rebecca Haswell Clark. The biggest influence that Cummings had as a child was from his mother, who always encouraged him to write poetry and she helped ingrain into him a love for literature too. Cummings went to Harvard Later after graduating from Harvard he volunteered to serve in France in the Norton-Harjes Ambulance group where he was later imprisoned for suspicion of treason because of the letters he wrote that were suspected of espionage and treason. During his jail time, he writes an autobiographical novel, The Enormous Room which was published in 1922. His father

James Baldwin’s compelling book ‘’Giovanni’s Room’ has over the years been sitting on my bookshelf among other books, looking rather dishevelled and to my shame, has not been read until now. But, as they say ‘good thinks comes to those who wait’ and without a doubt this is probably one of the most astounding book I ever have read and I can’t wait to read more James Baldwin Novels.

Society’s biggest accomplishment is not its ability to construct ideas about people that force them to mold their being into those ideas but rather it is society’s ability to turn the same groups it marginalizes and subjugates into the enforcer of social norms and rules which are enacted to their disadvantage. We wonder how society is able to do this. Well for one, it deters individuals from having the freedom to allow their individuality to flourish and contains them into a position where they are forced to conform to social norms. It does this by associating heavy costs to the transgression of social norms, these costs include losing the safe of one’s socially accepted identity—in terms

To Room Nineteen and The Story of an Hour are two excellent pieces of literature that reflect the position of women in the entire world. Since the twentieth century subdued women have struggled to have a voice. Not only did they look for equality as regards position in society, but also to be happy without depending on men. Moreover, if you continue reading this essay you are going to find how oppression due to lifestyle affects the main characters of the stories already mentioned as well as how they are dependent on men. Besides, you will notice that escapism from reality is present in both stories.

Most movies these days are overlooked if the title isn’t interesting enough, however if it’s given a chance it could end up becoming a favorite. “Room” starring Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay is the movie adaptation of Emma Donoghue’s fiction book of the same name. While keeping viewers on the edge of their seats, Room shows the audience a staggering battle between horror and hope.

Three hundred years ago, there was a great treasure, which was built by human hands. It is called the Amber Room. Art experts from Germany said it should be the 8th wonder of world due to its beauty. History, when recorded, is evidence that shows that the past actually happened. However, the Amber Room did not have the fate to stay in a physical form and became one of the interesting mysteries of the century. Many researchers are interested to discover the mystery of the Amber Room, however the mystery is still under the veil of mystery. It is because of “misplacing” due to World War II. It has a huge contribution to the interesting mystery. Although, the turmoil of World War II
