Claire Hock is an extremely unique woman. Her art work consists of going out to her local community by feeding them some homemade RV food, handing out a newspaper with eye catching headlines, or planting trees in the community.
I thought her project she did at CMU with crickets was very "different" I would have never thought of such a simple idea take a turn into a great art project. She referred playing the cricket noises from the stadium speakers as "bringing up sounds from the underground." Which made an excellent point, we really don't listen to the smallest parts of nature that is around us.
With her project RV Eatin' it was a question of is this a business or art project? It was clearly stated that once the health department called, it WAS an art project.
I really like Claire's way of thinking: taking a risk. Although her art work may be spontaneous, it is the peoples responce in the public that creates a "different experience" with each project. She also told the class that "I'm not interested in doing art for a gallery" she's interested in art for the interaction with people.
I feel like Claire Hoch is very open minded and is enthusiastic with her ideas to see what will happen with her art.
What I learned from her visit was How to deal with your own creativity. Out of all the artist we have had come visit so far this semester, She really opened my mind on taking a real risk with an art project.
