Project 1: Three Artists (or, one I care about and two others)

To reduce my selections to a mere list, I've selected my artsits:

•CHRISTIAN MARCLAY: A multi-talented artist, who works in both audio art (mostly through vinyl records and the deconstruction thereof) and video art ("Clock", a 24-hour exhibition of selected video clips, is still running in England).

•ALFRED STIEGLITZ: A legendary American photographer, who revolutionized photography as art as we know it today.

•ANDY GOLDSWORTHY: A Sculptor who works almost entirely in nature, inspired by nature, and works only WITH natural materials.

My choice, or the way I lean so far, is Christian Marclay. In addition to his own unique approach to music and sound being a subject in which I'm immensely interested, he is also steeped in a great deal of imagery that would prove useful to the project itself.
