Why Is Jon Rubin Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Jon Rubin is a contemporary artist based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Projects Fruit and Other Things Fruit and Other Things is a project created in collaboration with artist Lenka Clayton commissioned by the Carnegie Museum of Art for the 2018 iteration of the Carnegie International. The project pulls from the specific context and history of the Carnegie International, which in its earliest years, selected artworks for its exhibitions from an international competition. From 1896 to 1931, artists submitted artworks to be considered for the exhibition, and the museum kept not only detailed records of the accepted works, but of those that were rejected as well. Over this 35 year span, 10,632 artworks were rejected from the exhibitions. In this project, Rubin and Clayton have hired a team of sign painters to meticulously render the titles of each rejected work, one by one. Each text painting is exhibited for a day, and then given away to visitors, totaling 10,632 paintings created, exhibited, and given away to the public over the course of the roughly six-month exhibition.
