An fMRI experiment in healthy participants was designed to identify the common and specific regions in three different tasks from a common set of object drawings (manipulable man-made objects (MMO) and biological objects (MBO)): the generation of action words (GenA), the mental simulation of action (MSoA) and the mime of an action with the right hand (MimA).
Highest accuracies (89% correctly classified trials) were attained when classifying object drawings.
Contrary to the original experiments that used a reduced set of isolated object drawings, these latter studies involved trial-unique stimulus presentations as the very varied target natural scenes were presented only once.
Children had to use 10 incomplete figures to make a figure or object drawings to the incomplete figures, avoiding usual and obvious completions.
Mr. Tirelli considers himself neither a figurative nor an abstract artist and draws on a vast archive of accumulated objects, drawings and photographs to build his images, which are finally elaborated in his imagination, rather than taken directly from nature or actual objects.
Since Fischer first began showing his work, in the mid-nineteen-nineties, in Europe, he has produced an enormous number of objects, drawings, collages, and room-size installations.
The interior objects — drawings, dioramas, mannequin heads, flowers — had to be small enough to be boxed up, though Mr. Sokoloski was not to know what they were.
Mark Dion, the New York installation artist, will create an "Urban Wildlife Observation Unit"; fashioned after a 19th-century wildlife refuge viewing area, it will be filled with objects, drawings and props that pertain to the park's surroundings.
This grande dame of the art world is six kinds of fascinating when performing for a camera, especially when at work on her objects, drawings and paintings, but equally through her intensity and nuance of voice, pose and gesture.
The models, objects, drawings, photographs, media and installations in the exhibition will be organized around ways to describe architecture, graphic design and product design -- like fluid, physical, minimal, branded and narrative -- that cross disciplinary lines.
Later installations, like the 2003 "Legality Is Not Morality," above, combine architecture, objects, drawings and sometimes music to embody a connect-the-dots web of historical references -- Kurt Cobain, Robert Smithson, the Black Panthers, Isamu Noguchi, Kent State and Public Enemy -- that places art, race, popular culture and politics on a complex activist continuum.
