Kenny Hunter, Lecture and Interview.


Today we had a lecture by Kenny Hunter. I like the way he spoke about the need to focus on your chosen medium to a certain extent. He said if one tries to use everything "You become a perennial hobbyist"
  • Value of monumental art, memorial.
  • Symbolism, apple, flowers etc
  • "If you stand still, they will dig your grave"
  • "STAND NAKED" Karl Marx
  • "GET DRUNK" Baudelaire
  • Feed Back Loop
  • Citizen role
  • Architectonic aspects of sculpture
  • Obsolete materials, predatory nature of commercialism
  • Pure monumentalism
  • "I have a love hate relation ship with the MONUMENTAL TRADITION" "It is tainted with dictatorship and control"
