Jannis Kounellis: Gray is the Color of Our Time

[@alexanderson3837]

Loved his atmosphere!

[@amarlimboo2484]

It's beautiful conversation. I love it.❣️

[@lisengel2498]

The art seems very contemplative and et also seems somehow to be about stillness, the space as rythms of lines - i wonderedwhy inside should be better than outside since to me “Everything can inspire a work of art - its all about experience as ways of being present and as doors to the breath of life.” It is en experience of significance and ways to express that something is observed - and that you can make it special if you give awareness. And as such the human mind is what its anout.

This man died in 2017, 2 yrs after this video was recorded in 2015. I remember moving to NYC in the 1980s at the time it was being said the painting/art is dead, and fashion designers were thriving producing clothes in multiple shades of gray. Artist either stopped working or were working with low chroma/grey. This first 20 years of this century has had a certain grey cloud hanging constantly.

I look at 'the Greek letters' of your statement. I always loved 'the Greek letters' as an ART FORM. I needed to find translation to your Greek comment. I am simply amazed to 'the Greek letters' this day.

[@edwardwhittaker5728]

Great artist.

[@Acquavallo]

His art is amazing, and he has so many insightful things to say. But the way he speaks just puts me to sleep every time. It took me like three tries to watch his talk to try to get all his knowledge.

Well go listen to David Hockney. Foh!

[@suzannedesylva3805]

Beauiful...

[@anniecasaer721]

Heel interessant!

[@robertspies4695]

I like the work, but I had a devil of a time understanding much of what he was saying. There were real words used but often they did not seem to convey much to me. Perhaps much was lost in translation. Maybe it is like some poetry where you have to imagine what is between the words.

[@lara6944]

i blame it mainly on the editors that decided by removing the questions, which made his answers float in the air.

[@Emmbedd]

It’s mostly his way of talking; he stops while he speaks as he suppose the listener understood; it’s a very Italian way and hard to translate on the fly

[@darylcumming7119]

😊.

[@albertoballocca]

'Is not a big deal, to see it rust over years' is a wrong translation of what this master is talking about. He is saying 'It s not bad to see it getting rusty over years'. The exact opposite.

non esiste dialogho ma solo chiacchere se siamo tutti di base uguali o identici. Viviamo in un epoca di chiacchere. Non esiste la verita ma solo accertamento e confermazione se siamo tutti d'accordo.

[@ertrtrttrtretrt7342]

I am Greek and was like wait he is speaking Italian lmao but he said some Greek words like drawing lol.

[@chewingstring]

Grandpa, you know better. Never discuss or attempt to describe your work, no matter how hard they push or admire you.

[@liverpoolvseverybody3257]

Facts! Best Comment I’ve read so far on this video

[@higgsmerino3925]

@@liverpoolvseverybody3257 And we still love the work. (if it is possible to love inanimate objects?)

[@mayaayana2606]

youre so disrespectful

[@TheKarlgiovanni]

Look out in the ciry streets then everything is grey

[@bobsmith3931]

Wow, stuff hangs down. I think they call that GRAVITY. I’m going to do an exhibit on water being wet.

[@albertoballocca]

Potenza Greca. Ho capito fino in fondo cosa si intende, perché in fondo sono un greco

[@latetodagame1892]

This guy needs to go back to art school!

[@valmontina]

[@johnmekites7701]

HIs works are weak.
