John Baldessari: Wrong
John Baldessari is a famous contemporary artist. He is sometimes referred to as theFather of Conceptual Art. He sometimes uses photography in his work, often images that he has found and changed in some way. This video is a great introduction to his work and ideas. Mr Nicholls showed us one particular image by the artist entitled 'Wrong'. We were asked to look carefully at the image and suggest why we thought it was given the title 'Wrong'. |
We were asked to write on the picture why we felt it might have been given the title 'Wrong'.
We were then asked to make a list of the hidden 'rules' of photography and what might make a photograph 'wrong' .We attempted to take as many pictures as we could that deliberately broke as many of these 'rules' as possible.
