After having watched the Art 21 dealing with these two particular artists, there is definitely one that I am drawn to more. And that would be Mark Dion.
First of all Mark has a piece that I find more interesting in that tree ecosystem that is in the sculpture park, I have always been drawn to science and tend to use it in my own art so it was very easy for me to appreciate, I think he did a very nice job designing the housing as well which would have been no easy task especially to try and create that forced perspective.
Another reason I prefer that piece is that anybody, man, woman, or child has the ability to walk into that room and appreciate what they are seeing weather the see it as art or not, personally it seems more like a biological experiment than a social one. But on the other hand we have Janine Antoni.
While I don't feel that either of these individuals are great traditional artists (from what was shown) The main problem I have with Antoni's work is that if she isn't right there in the gallery telling you what its about like she is in the video, the viewer would be at a loss, and the only piece I found aesthetically interesting as a stand alone no explanation piece was the rawhide sculpture, she uses alot of completely different non traditional media and seems to have alot of different talents she tries to utilize but seems to fall into that old adage "Jack of all trades, master of none"
