Artist Cornelia Parker Questions the Rules That Govern Us | Brilliant Ideas Ep. 2

Cornelia Parker is an internationally acclaimed sculptor and installation artist best recognized for her unique subject matter and large-scale works. Parker’s works are presented in various global art events as the 10th Gwangju Biennale and the 16th Sydney Biennale and in 1997 she was short-listed for the Turner Prize. Her work often features found objects used in everyday life, often presented in new contexts, bringing with them a unique perspective of the past, present and future.
While Parker only minimally alters these ordinary objects, she draws upon their historical value by presenting them in the context of art, juxtaposed next to other artwork. “Brilliant Ideas” introduces Cornelia Parker and her world of ambiguous objects that continue to intrigue and captivate.

another kindred soul that experiences parts of their practice through mundane everyday stimulation. Love it!

[@TheDreadfulCurtain]

Thank you for this. I love Cornelia Parker’s works. In particular I love her mind and the way she thinks about universals but then whittle them down into specific actions on particular materials and objects and their underlying narratives . Her way of working is just so inspiring.

[@rev_vive389]

Cornelia Parker's work is astounding. I never really thought about her as a found object artist, because the way she uses the objects is so impactful and emotional, and arranged in a way that is so thoughtful.

One of my favourites!

Hope to see more from this series. Cornelia Parker, wow! How good was "The Distance (A Kiss)"? Loved it.

Lovely lady who makes so much sense..I really like her art...and understanding what's behind it makes it all the more interesting. A very gentle woman who is a true artist. She has to do it to feel right and all she ever wanted to do. Respect and appreciation due here not criticism, but all entitled to their opinions

[@jonridley]

I was lucky enough to see the exploded shed when it was first exhibited, it’s an excellent piece of work and very powerful

[@CarlEuegene]

She is astounding!

She is brilliant!

What's wrong you can't smash a trumpet with a car?

[@cliffdariff74]

Could do without performance and installations, including remaking the Magna Carta, can you say hubris?

[@JimOverbeckgenius]

No, love - to paraphrase CS Lewis we're ALL immortal & that's why not knowing this is tragic. They kill to maintain mortality & torture to sustain this living death. Everyone you've ever met & those you rub shoulders with - your own screwed-up mortal pseudo-self > the gods that fell.

In the war room they should have changed the floors

[@mrwilliamdmoss]

Out of all the loonies in this series and as nutty as she looks. She actually makes the most sense.

[@cliffdariff74]

Haircuts should be a privilege, not a right 😄😄😄

[@vealgangains6314]

Wow she put string on somebody elses sculpture

[@ericruffalo5118]

Old people... can't use a computer so they embroider what they see on the screen. This is like when you get a cake decorated and ask them to put a picture on the cake. you hand the baker a USB drive and they print the picture of the drive on the cake

[@uknol]

Eric Ruffalo cant agree more. I appreciate a lot of modern art pieces. A lot of things she does just seem redundant...

[@uknol]

Eric Ruffalo the meanings behind the work are also kinda... The logical order of it bothers me: she finds something, does something abt it, then finds a meaning for it. There's one bit on the sewing Wikipedia page in which after talking about how the words looks like Latin when reversed, she says "it's also political i think". Wt...

Clown Hair Gimmick

[@vealgangains6314]

Wow she hung stuff

[@europeanroyalty4778]

And I question her hair

[@Evan-ke2lo]

that hair should be taxed

Lessons in futility ,humans spending an enormous amount of time doing something that is time consuming and laborious and ultimately completely useless to show other humans they have spent an enormous amount of time making something that is laborious ,time consuming and useless .

Ah...the "i'm an artist" haircut. It screams "pretentious" and "I have my head in my ass." I instantly hate people with this haircut.

Too obvious, too self centered, too selfish.
