In this post I will give a response to the author of the post Creation in a room of obliteration. The author, kunstinteressertmenbarelitt, has compared Kusama’s work with Kant’s definition of aesthetics. The blog post is easy to read because of the well-portioned paragraphs and the sentence structure is very good, making it easily understandable for the reader. This is a good quality in blog posts.
The author describes the artwork by Kusama with words and a photograph from an exhibition. If the reader is not familiar with Kant and his philosophy, it is difficult to see the comparisons the author refers to. This confusion could easily be avoided if the author presented Kant’s definition of art in a clearer way from the start.
The author’s voice is clear from the start and their own reflections brings a nice touch to the blog post. Personally, I like how the author presented the three necessary elements when creating art. The author also discusses whether the artist has created art or simply staged an arena for the visitors to take part in the artmaking. This is an interesting topic and can be discussed from many points of views. Art comes in many shapes and forms, and including the public in creation of artwork is just as creative as making one specific work of art.
Whether it is performance art or art in its normal form can also be discussed. Kusama has no involvement in the execution of the art making, but has rather come up with the concept and could be considered a performance artist.
