Hennessey Youngman
Art Thoughtz on Institutional Critique
The youtube
vlogger Hennessey Youngman is a young man with a perspective that’s different
than most artists. He appears to be a young thug who talks in slag yet his insights and critiques are presented in an interesting way. In his video institutional critique he uses slang and curse words to express
his feelings on the subject. By using slang young adults who also talk with
slang or are more "ghetto" understand what he’s saying from a point of view they can relate too.
He uses irony, humor and exaggeration which make us more open to what he is
saying while critiquing certain institutions. By using satire we focus on what
he’s saying in a way that keeps us interested and his slang makes him seem truthful
because we know this is how he really is, he isn't just painting a picture for us of what he wants us to believe.

ReplyDeleteThis is a very accurate description of Hennessey Youngman's style and way of expressing his point of view about artists and what it takes to become a successful one.
ReplyDeletehey i like that you describe the way he talks to people and the last sentence you said, that he isn't painting a picture like other artist but that he is using his words to express his feelings.
