Your contemporary art fix



So I saw on my friend Nicole's blog helpful little work out tips, and I thought to myself, what a great idea. I like that she is imparting her wisdom on the less educated on the subject, like my scrawny self. Maybe now i'll buff up. Anyway, I thought I would also share my knowledge and periodically post some cool stuff going on in the mysterious world of contemporary art.

My first featured artist is Daniel Buren. He is an amazing artist who challenges the notions of perception by constructing works of art that can be experienced as a place with the body as well as the eyes. The works cross the border of sculpture and painting and break the tradition of painting being relegated to the wall. They are actually quite theoretical in their design, but still quite effortlessly visually engaging. I love it!
