pull the plug



The finished piece, im so happy with this! i wish i hadnt doen that stupid bared wire bit on the cable it looks stupid. The concept behind this is she is a cyborg/ robot and she is pulling the plug out of her head which is actually hurting her, hence the oil pooring out of her.

Modernism

Roughly 1860-1960 was the modern period


Pre-modern - Traditional
Post-modern - roughly 1960's - turning point




Crystal Palace (1851) year of great exhibition
Joseph Paxton - based on greenhouse
Pre-fabrication - factory produce elements for building so it is cheap and can be taken down and re-built easily.
Modernism attempts to be universal.

1860's beginning of modern Paris. All got re-built to accommodate commercialistation.
  • Capitalism
  • Commercialisation
  • Comodity 
All kicked off by French revolution and industrial revolution.
Modern - about the present rather than the past.
