Final artwork : "Constraint"

Acrylic Paint on Cardboard

Artist statement:

As an artist who’s color blind, I have always had the tendency to shy away from color throughout my high school years, sticking to what I knew best and was comfortable with black, white and grey, pen/ pencil works with some variation in the color of Ink I was using, if I felt brave and bold enough to go for it at the time. My curious and hungerful search for progression and development in my artwork has finally gotten the better of me and I now feel intrigued and compelled to incorporate a sense of color and the different techniques associated with color in art that may help me grow as a more matured and more wholesome artist. I feel that this year, my ambitions to succeed in incorporating color into my work and the exploration of all other avenues of art, have outweighed the fear of losing comfort in the intricate and confined lines in the realm of just a pen that I dwell.

Gallery visits Tut questions

SMAC:

1- what mood or sense of culture did the background music/soundtrack evoke for the viewer?

2- why did the artist choose commonly used and thrown out materials, and could they have presented the same idea through different mediums?

3- why has the artist chosen to free hang the artworks off the wall, how does this help with the interaction between viewer and artwork

BLANK:

1- how does the artist allocate time for each of the large artworks as they are all knitted and woven by hand, does the artist have a team of people helping create the work?

2- what correlation do the photographs in the far room have with the sculpture and wall artworks in the other room?

3- As the artist is openly gay, does this help him with more people engaging and looking into his work, if so what pro's and con's come of this for the artist?

GOODMAN:

1- what made the arrest choose to write the poems in black permanent marker and is there further meaning because of the medium in which the text is written?

2- was the artist trying to create a pattern with the portraits, if so is there any further reasoning for this?

3- what is the significance of the small pictures centred around the middle of the the portrait drawings and does this resemble a cultural relation between portrait and place in the photos?

Part C

3 personal related objects on Nuetral and two other chosen surfaces. Personal objects consist of a (fork, small mirror and a watch) all similar in that they are somewhat reflective and shiny.

Image 1: Objects on a Neutral surface

Image 2: Objects on a different surface, rearranged. This changes the style from something simplistic to something different conceptually, the patterns and rugged look of the carpet brings a different presence and feel to the image.

Image 3: objects rearranged on a 3rd surface. This again changes meaning from the first and second image as the already visually pleasing aesthetic design (marble like appearance) of the back pack, and the slight reflection of the phone in the mirror give a more appealing feel to the image also giving a sense that there is a fourth object in the image.

Part B

Question 1: what do you think an art curator is, and what do they do?

An art Curator to me is someone who keeps and presents works of art in a particular manner of choice, someone who decides how art works should be displayed and where. Curators to me are often people usually found in museums, library's and in the case of an artistic point of view, exhibitions and shows. To me a curators job in the case of an exhibition is to find the most appropriate and effective way to present either a single artists, art works, or a range of artworks from various artist usually sticking to a particular theme throughout the show, to give the viewer the best possible experience of the artworks.

Question 2: Find and write down THREE points from HU Obrists section that you find interesting and engaging, say why you think so after each point.

Point 1- "Curating comes from the Latin word curare, meaning to take care. In Roman times, it meant to take care of the bath houses. In medieval times, it designated the priest who cared for souls. Later, in the 18th century, it meant looking after collections of art and artifacts." This is interesting because is shows the evolution of the word and helps express its historical value.

Point 2- "Being a curator means to preserve, in the sense of safeguarding the heritage of art". This is interesting because it gives another perspective of the word, as my first thought was just someone who decides how to display the work aesthetically, this adds value to the word.

Point 3- "Before 1800, few people went to exhibitions. Now hundreds of millions of people visit them every year", this is really interesting as it gives a sense of how over the years more and more people started to engaged with art and art expression, also as similarly mention in point 1, the historical presence that comes with the word curator and curation.

Question 3: Find and write down the central point in each of the above curators’ position on their work-practice. Write down 2 points of difference between any 2 or all three of These points may not be between all three curators, so indicate between which of these curators the differences are relevant to.

Part A:

1) 10 Curation ideas for art Exhibitions:

1- suspended art exhibition whereby people either walk over hanging bridges for the artworks high up or aswell as artworks hanging down.

2- mini game exhibition whereby people play small mini games to gain access to other rooms or levels of the exhibition (in building)

3- slow coaster exhibition whereby people are taken around exhibit in a slow rollercoaster like manner.

4-virtual reality exhibition whereby people walk around a space looking at artworks through virtual reality goggles.

5- dark rooms exhibit whereby people are forced to use other senses such as touch and sound to get to areas where artworks are illuminated.

6- cave exhibition whereby the art is displayed in caves or tunnels.

7- geometric exhibition whereby artworks are displayed through various shelving shapes in a aesthetic manner.

8- steampunk/ futuristic exhibition whereby artworks are met with new and old technologies.

9- rotating art exhibition whereby artworks are suspended and rotating around a space so the viewer does not have to move if they dont wish to.

10- maze exhibition whereby the space is made in a maze like fashion with various artworks hidden within to try and find.

2) 20 roles of an art show/exhibition:

1- achrchivists 2- technicians

3- security 4- artists

5- information staff 6- education department staff

7- artwork handlers 8- art critiques

9- curators 10- collectors/buyers

11- gallery manager 12- administrator

13- art historian 14- art auctioner

15- cleaners staff 16- aquisations specialist

17- waitors/chefs 18- bar men/women
