Prompt 23

Pick any three works by any of the photographers/artists listed on the assignment sheet. Describe how you would recreate/remake/reinterpret a work of theirs "in your own way". How would you use their work as inspiration for your own projects? For this prompt you should describe three different corresponding recreations that derive from three different works.
In general, the spatial art on gluekit.com is awesome. I really like the way that they incorporate different shapes and bright colors to make patterns and words. I also really like the ideas for the black and white photographs. The installations are very interesting and I like the use of perspective, photography, and physical objects. If I were going to recreate any of these, I would probably try to recreate ends with disaster. I think the idea is clever, so I would use something other than matches that gives the same sort of idea, and have it say "ends with..." something other than disaster. I also really liked most of Jonas Lund's work.  I especially liked the Shakespeare project (Jonas Lund). If I was to recreate this I would probably choose a song and find a place that went along with or reminded me of the song, then somehow incorporate the lyrics in that space as video. Finally, I really liked the Ipsum Planet photographs (Ipsum Planet).  I was especially interested in the photographs where the women have yarn for brains. I think it would be really cool to do that with different parts of the body, using different materials as the insides of whatever body part was being photographed, like using meat for muscles.
