Qoute:
He was talking about all art when he said this qoute..
"Everything is understandable even if it takes 1000 words to describe a picture everything is understandable, mystifying art is bullshit"

3 Words: (about his work)
Original
Complex
Narrative

One person in audience said his work to be about dreams and uncognitive association.  I agree along with complex story telling that is what I would say most all his work is about.  I would say he is a very educated intelligent artist who researches his work heavily and makes complex pieces either about uncognitive associations or complex story telling.

Intresting thing learned from lecture:
I found Alex a very interesting artist.  At first in the beginning I did not realize he was doing a performance piece and that his work was about associations but once I figured that out his work made sense became very interesting to me.  I would have to say what he does is very original which is hard to say about many artists currently time that along I found fascinating.  I think really interesting he makes his work complex either with storys or his work with uncognitive associations an dreams.  At first you or lost when or if you do not realize what his work is about or that it is performnce piece but once all of that is realized his work easy to understand and keep along with as he talks.

Answers to Questions:
What interested you in making work about dreams?
From what I gathered what interests him with making work about dreams was about how your dreams have uncognitive associations or explanations for what you dream about which is really interesting. 

Where did you get your inspiration/idea for unclehead from?  
I do not believe he showed this work.  But his inspirations and Ideas for all his work are either about stories or uncognitive associations with dreams and making his work show that in way people understand how that works.

Most Compelling Piece:
His very large complex space he built that started from walking into room imitating a meth lab and leading you all the way to room imitating very nice imitation of art gallery and last walking into a bunker containing all the ingredients for the show.  I believe it was called Hello Meth Lab in the Sun.

New Questions:
Does it take  you long time build diagrams for your complex pieces such as making layouts with all the associations that you want it to contain?
How long did it take you to create Hello Meth Lab in the Sun from start to finish?
