Art 21 Holzer/Jaar "protest"

I took a look at some of these artist projects and I have to say that they are both extremely serious about their work. I'm not that serious but maybe I haven't had a big inspiration yet. Jenny Holzer says she has to believe in her work so she really takes all of the subject matter in and she says after words its physically exhausting sometimes to put yourself in a project so much. Alfredo Jaar is also very serious, in his interview he even said there is nothing funny about his work. I saw the piece on "100 Acres" I thought it was a great idea to have a park that artist can create in. It can touch on multiple subjects and really get the public to notice in an active way. I would like to visit this place sometime. Over all I think these two artist have a depressing feel to them and kind of take the fun out of art.
