Scott Grieger

Questions:
  1. What is behind the "be here now" installation?
  2. What work does he typically do and why?
  3. why does he do what he does?

Answers and insights

i really am intrigued by his stuff. the sheer size of his installations kind of show that is very important. i could sit there for a while and just look at his stuff trying to figure out what is going on, unlike i would with kinkead. I love how he took symbols and logos, important beliefs, relationships between military and religion, and things someone really wouldnt associate together and he juxtoposes these images to make intriguing work. i think his work is based on anthropological/cultural things because thats what he knows and what calls out to him.

other questions

  1. is his stuff controverial?
  2. would his stuff be so moving without the juxtopostions?
  3. what if he did them on a grander scale like in an open park rather than in a gallery?
