Gillian Wearing and Spencer Tunick


Gillian Wearing had an interesting concept behind her artwork. A lot of the people who wrote on the cards had ironic sayings. For a man dressed like this to have his card say he is desperate is ironic. I do not know if I consider this artwork, but I do find it extremely creative and interesting.



I enjoyed Spencer Tunicks work mainly for its shock value and message. I liked his campaign against the rising climate and melting icecaps. I find it interesting that he thought up this idea of hundreds of naked people in places where people are usually clothed. He captures the beauty and vulnerability of the human body and turns it into something more.
