MEL CHIN ARTIST LECTURE
Mel Chin was very interesting, he had many "trades" He is a conceptual artist focusing on politics, culture, and social circumstances.
He does sculpture, animation, installations, and is a the leader of Operation Paydirt (FUNDRED).
Over all he was a very enjoyable speaker to listen to and answered questions well. He made it a point to have the audience involved in his lecture.
I was really amazed at how much research he puts into his ideas, he not only learns the basics for his concept but he'll also research greatly in depth and teach himself things instead of relying on others.
I found it very interesting he worked with behind the sense of Melrose Place(GALA Project) -trying to make are effect people giving TV more to offer - It didn't slam the idea into peoples faces but subtly questioned things
I really would like to view his animation9/11-9.11 -It surprised me that he created an animation, and it looked good showing his range of technical abilities.

This was very boring to me. It was extremely hard to follow
along with what she was talking about. She’d get behind on changing slides and
stumble through what she was saying. The most I got was that the Middle East
events have wholes in the output of the information. And then she showed images
of people and buildings from the past.
I feel like she could have presented
this in a better and more interesting way. I understand that as a historian she
would not be talking about art she made, but I still expected her to sound interested
in what she was talking about. Most historians are so enthused by what they
research it carries over in how they talk about it, but with Mitra i just lost
that connection.

I really enjoyed seeing her work. It was all very inspiring
and beautifully crafted. Though I wish her presentation had more life to it. I
got rather bored, as her speaking style is a little monotone and she mostly
read facts about each piece. I
really enjoyed her combination of Victorian and industrial influences in her
work.
Her presentation was very well organized and very easy to
follow along. Each work was well photographed and presented along with the info
about it.
Work of hers i like:
