my only issue with the Rothko On Paper exhibit is the curators did not talk about paper
like the fact that these Rothkos are On Paper is significant enough to be included in the title. A lot of the plaques mentioned that Rothko thought very highly of his works On Paper (he would gift them to friends and display them in his own house, and made some commissioned pieces on paper too)
there definitely is an idear in museamy art that paper=practice=not as important and on the one hand it pisses me right off due to papercraft being my primary medium (i'm a generalist but if I had to pick just one I'd go with paper) but on the other hand I get it because paper is cheaper than canvas and Museams Are Full Of Canvasses From The Old Masters. See also: the Cezanne Drawing exhibit at the NYC MoMA in 2021, a lot of those were legit sketchbook/practice/unfinished pieces unlike the Rothko On Paper pieces which were all (except for four) finished pieces
I legitimately don't think this is from my bias as a papercraft or science person, I do think this is an oversight on the curators that they didn't talk about the paper. The plaques would say wove paper water color paper or just like not mention the type of paper. The paints were tempura or oil or water color or ink and all of those sit on top or soak into different kinds of paper in different ways
idk I just think that the material that the art is on is part of the art, it's more than just a holder for the art. and I think that's especially true for Rothko's technique of diluting and layering paints. There's a clear disconnect that the works being on paper is important enough to be part of the title of the exhibit but not important enough to be talked about within the exhibit.
the selection of the pieces was great, the order that the pieces were presented in was great, the quotes from Rothko and his personal history that was included on the plaques were great but like why even call it Rothko On Paper if you're only going to talk only about Rothko and nothing about paper. Like ok he thought there was no hierarchy between paper and canvas but WHY? what are the differences between paper and canvas?
is there any like break up songs in enstars Like ones with lyrics of a heartbroken break up I think that should be a theme for a shuffle unit it would genuinely be so interesting
I think something with the sound of if you do by got7 would be fascinating tbh because enstars doesn't really do love songs that are romantic that often so i'd like to see how they'd dig at the more depressing cruel unhealthy (possibly toxic) side of love
I don't think enstars would ever go down a route of having a song that's about a manipulative toxic relationship like whatevers going on in if you do But. enstars music has a lot of potential for whatever and anything I want to hear enstars' sound and it's limits
