apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

thanks for the link. love lewitt walls. never thought of trying an "a la lewitt" but it looks more time intensive then difficult.

I don't get it. It's just a bunch of stripes and doodles.

And a Van Gogh is "just" globs of oil paint.
And furniture is "just" a bunch of wood.
And fashion is "just" fabric.

What I mean is, this is something I could do. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of talent necessary. Whereas I could never create anything close to a Van Gogh.

Perhaps you should go visit this exhibit and see if this is still how you feel. Maybe you mean "this is something I could have thought of" (which is still lame), but I know for a fact that the installation requires a team of highly skilled artists, one of whom happens to be a good friend, who have been working for months on this exhibit. The pieces are installed flawlessly, showing levels of skill that I've always been awed by, in particular for the pencil work. Sorry, I think you're severely overestimating yourself.

Similar to Bridget Riley and of same generation of artists. I saw an exhibition of her works which included her detailed plans for them. The pencil work was just as stunning as the completed pieces. She also doesn't execute her works. The **precision** required for this cannot be underestimated.
