Christopher Burden

    When we started watching Christopher Burden in class I honestly was bored by his "art". It didn't catch my attention I didn't think it was that great, I felt like almost anybody could've done what he did if they were crazy enough to allow someone to shoot them or nail their hands to car. However as his life progressed and unrolled and we saw some of his more recent pieces I started to see what he was about. With the wheel their was a sense of engineering which was attention grabbing and gave you a sense of awe. Then with beam drop you could tell that his intentions were to change the way people think on how some of the most beautiful things, that can end up being timeless, are just so simple.
