· The most interesting quote Alexadre Singe lecture was where he compare drug production with alchemy, in particular meth production. I think this could be used across the board with the creation of any drug, legal or designer. It is this effort to create a substance that can cure, dampen, erect whatever you desired effect that drives both one for gold or the universal solvent the other for something that is worth its weight in gold. It is more over the form of learning that would particularly parallel alchemy in that there is no formal school no institute it is taught individually from teacher to apprentice.
· I would describe Singhe’s work an experiential, psychological, and aware.
· I was unaware of the physical nature of this performances, I believe that it would be in slide form not transparencies that must be changed manually. It was this physical element that makes a performance a unique event in junction with its unscripted nature.
· I did not have any specific question because I found that it was hard to find concrete examples of his work just the discussion. I just wondered how all these various groups of subject matter interplayed together, and what the underlying connection between his groups of work. To be honest, I’m still confused. I guess it is the interplay between fantasy and reality that remained unchanging between the talk to installation of talking everyday objects.
· The most compelling piece of work was his performance itself. It has a life of its own and challenges the role and practice of fine art. Although his collages and images may be viewed individually they are connected and brought to life with Singhe’s dialogue. The art isn’t really in the images, but in the reactions and consequences that result from the story uniting the images. That is the most powerful element.
