Martin Creed pushes us to explore and see art in a different way. One of the biggest questions that he asks that surrounds that theme is “What is Art?” What is a piece of work that you know about but others do not consider it art? Why is it art to you? Why should others see it from your perspective?
Taylor Mac uses color, fabrics and textures. If you could have your ideal outfit designed for a summer Cookout, what would it look like? What energy would you like to evoke?
Community is a strong theme for Theaster Gates. From connecting with his art or creating Artist Retreats, he is always finding a way to connect with his community. What is one thing you would love to do for your community?
Theaster Gates encourages us to look at things we normally wouldn’t look at. What is one thing you feel should become more popular and well known? Would it be on the mainstream media or would it be something that is known like traditional storytelling by word of mouth?
Lynn Nottage looks to the past in order to inspire her works. With that in mind, think of your favorite summer memory. What was happening? What sounds did you hear? What flavors did you taste?
Martin Creed has a fun way of exploring art. He takes the normal and makes it exciting. What is one thing that you wish to add some fun magic flare to? The world is your playground.
Taylor Mac explores the theme of identity. Judy is always expressing Judy's identity through masks, costumes and much more. How would you share your identity? What makes you the amazing person that you are?
