Candice Breitz

I attended the Candice Breitz artist lecture. I thought her work was conceptually stunning while at the same time having more to do with other peoples views on subject than her own. Although she was obviously observing and making statements on modern pop culture, the subjects themselves each seemed to tell their own individual story.

I believe the works besides her Legend, Queen, King, and Working Class Hero was a better representation of just her views on modern society. The isolation of personal pronouns in the Four Duets seemed to bring out the individual artists own feelings on the emphasis they placed on either the You or the I values. I did not see any of them place the same emphasize on both. They either seemed to have more passion about themselves or about others. Atleast thats what I saw, and according to Breitz it's more about what the viewer see's in her work than what she originally conceptualized.
