Interdisciplinary
Interdisciplinary
encompasses things made of parts to become whole, which are related and
interacting.
The nature
of interdisciplinary is endless, molecules and atoms, animals and plants, stars
and planets, everything is interdisciplinary by some means. Not exactly listed
with other more well known movements and practices, nonetheless its hardly a
recent or new category. Considering artist-scientist Da Vinci, poet-print maker William Blake, poet-painter-designer William Morris.
Many
schools now approach it as a means of integrating many mediums and practices.
Video, performance art, installation, book arts, digital, theater, music,
creative writing.
Being a
mix of so many different techniques I feel it would be difficult to categorize
an artist so simply. Though upon hearing interdisciplinary the artist that
comes to mind for me is Joseph Beuys. A sculptor, installation, and graphic
artist from Germany and celebrated artist of the 20th century.
He caught
my attention by his drawings and prints. As I can relate to the simple yet
surreal, less is more type of style.
