Sir Ken Robinson Quotes & Marco Reichert - Feature Artist of the Week
Marco Reichert: Berlin-based Marco Reichert is an emerging abstract painter who is challenging our ideas of what contemporary art is by using traditional painting techniques in conjunction with experimental “painting machines” to create multi-layered artworks. On the one hand, there is a classical pictorial methodology linked to materials and painting in the way we traditionally think of. On the other hand, there is an overtly technical-digital component through the construction of homemade machines as “robot designers” made by the artist himself. Reichert’s work is reflective of today’s society, a society that is increasingly dominated by computers and technology. We may like it or not, but technology’s influence on our everyday lives is undeniable. https://youtu.be/bf5_7-qIsCc https://bendergallery.com/artist/1290-marco-reichert SIR KEN ROBINSON.

You have to go looking for them, they're not just lying around on the surface. You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves.” ― Ken Robinson By Judy: This is precisely applicable to visual art. “For most of us the problem isn’t that we aim too high and fail - it’s just the opposite - we aim too low and succeed.” ― Ken Robinson, “Imagination is the source of every form of human achievement. And it's the one thing that I believe we are systematically jeopardizing in the way we educate our children and ourselves.” ― Sir Ken Robinson “Curiosity is the engine of achievement.” ― Ken Robinson “Creativity is as important now in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status.” ― Sir Ken Robinson It’s about discovering your self, and you can't do this if you're trapped in a compulsion to conform. You can't be yourself in a swarm.” ― Ken Robinson, “Human communities depend upon a diversity of talent not a singular conception of ability” ― Sir Ken Robinson By Judy: That talent is precious and to discover this is not easy because there are no roadmaps. You have to search for this yourself. Anyone who shows or says “ follow me” is a disservice to you. “The arts especially address the idea of aesthetic experience. An aesthetic experience is one in which your senses are operating at their peak; when you’re present in the current moment; when you’re resonating with the excitement of this thing that you’re experiencing; when you are fully alive.” ― Ken Robinson “To be creative you actually have to do something.” ― Ken Robinson, “We stigmatize mistakes ( in art ). And running a systems where mistakes are the worst thing you can make - and the result is that we are educating students out of their creative capacities.” ― Ken Robinson “Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler did not solve an old problem, they asked a new question, and in doing so they changed the whole basis on which the old questions had been framed.” ― Ken Robinson By Judy: “So ask questions related to our class subject. There are not enough questions asked. “Young children are wonderfully confident in their own imaginations ... Most of us lose this confidence as we grow up” ― Ken Robinson, “Never underestimate the vital importance of finding early in life the work that for you is play. This turns possible underachievers into happy warriors.” ― Ken Robinson,
