Re: [meteorite-list] "Meteorite" Sculpture by Katie Paterson
Imho: At the end of the day an artist can do what she/he wants with her rock, good luck to her if she can make a living from it. But personally I would categorise it as nothing more than tacky sensationalist 'shock art' with no great intellectual or artistic merit. (probably in the same category as people who saw cows in half, or leave their knickers on an un-made bed and call it an 'art installation'). But it wouldn't do if we were all the same, (I am sure other people may say the same about my modest attempts at painting!). :) Mark -Original Message- From: Meteorite-list [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Galactic Stone & Ironworks via Meteorite-list Sent: 08 August 2014 02:44 To: la...@copperwired.com Cc: i...@moonmarsrocks.com; meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] "Meteorite" Sculpture by Katie Paterson Hi Laura, Peter, Anne, David, List, Honorable Chairpeople, In generating discussion, the artist has succeeded. If that was one of the goals, then the artwork was a success in the eyes of some. We are still talking about it, which I am not sure says more about the art itself or the state of recent affairs (or lack of) in the meteorite world... (sales of all remelted non-widmanstatten iron artworks is hereby suspended until further notice.) I believe that we are all temporary caregivers for these cosmic immortal rocks (and irons). They have existed since the birth of our Sun and they will exist long after that same Sun is dead. We are a part of these meteorites complex exposure histories. To far-future researchers, we will be distant biological contaminants that briefly influenced the chemical and physical weathering of these meteorites. I feel it is our duty to curate our meteorites with a level of respect and regard that is due to any creation that is billions of years old and will exist for billions more. We should not make cutesy trinkets from them lightly. Considering that, the artist used a "common" meteorite and it's destruction is no loss to the body of scientific knowledge. This is not a case of someone grinding up Sutter's Mill stones to make balding-cure snake oil. So, we can disagree with the artwork or the treatment of the meteorite used, but we should not be completely dismissive of it because it is causing no great harm to science or meteoritics. I wouldn't do that to any meteorite. It seems pointless to me and artistic goals could be met using meteorites in a more respectful manner. I have sold meteorites to artists and craftsmen who intended to use them as a medium or part of the works, but I would not sell to someone to planned to completely destroy the unique nature of the meteorite. Attitudes vary, but art will always be art. I cannot say what is art, but I can say that I do not particularly care for melting down meteorites completely. They can never be restored and that does represent a loss, if not to science, then to the cosmos as a whole. (And a failure in our jobs as temporary guardians!) Best regards, MikeG PS - I have seen some very artful use of meteorite, with some examples by others on this List. So it can be done properly. -- - Web - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone Twitter - http://twitter.com/galacticstone Pinterest - http://pinterest.com/galacticstone - On 8/7/14, Laura--- via Meteorite-list wrote: > Ok, so now I have to give my two cents...sense!
