Over the break, take another look at the Alternative Exhibition Format slideshow. Think about which artist's work was the most interesting to you in terms of format. Make a post and talk about what the artist does with format, and why you think it is interesting. In addition talk about what you think the focus of your exploration will be in the weeks when you get back from break. Are you going to play with a specific process? Do you want to experiment with materials? Is there a theme you want to explore?
The exhibit that I found to be most interesting was Cai Guo-Quiang's piece called "head on." I liked it because it was obviously very eye catching. This piece takes up a lot of space, and I thought it was cool because it trails into the next room. When someone looks at this piece I can imagine lots of questions running through their heads about the meaning, or the process of creating the piece. It is extremely creative, and I like how the glass wall was incorporated into the piece. It looks like time was stopped in that room.
When I return from break, I hope to explore more with space, and different shapes. I would also like to continue with the paint like I was before the break. I am not looking at a specific theme, other than abstract shapes, and spaces. I am still having a hard time coming up with an overall concept, especially since we are given so much freedom. I just need to continue to gather more ideas, and hopefully get started on something soon.

this interest in space and how things function in space seems nicely connected to your interest in architecture J. maybe you could spend some more time thinking about why you are so interested in architecture? how does design influence our experience of space?
ReplyDeletedo you think it's real space (like cia guo qian) you're interested in or the illusion of space (like in a painting?)
