The antiquated art includes a line in its label of the
culture where the pieces originated, and also the period that it's from, in
this case the piece is Korean, and it is from the Goryeo dynasty.
2. The most recent
Gallery that I have visited is the Northcutt Steele Gallery. The current exhibition is a showcase of the
faculties work, so the mediums range from painting, ceramic, mixed media, and
new media for example. The flat works
are hung on the walls at a visually comfortable height, and various three
dimensional work is laid out, but not in a way that makes it difficult to move
around the gallery space. The lighting
is bright, and the temperature wasn't too hot or cold.
3. Jenny Holzer's
instillations are different from other artist's instillations. Because her truisms aren't confined to a
gallery setting, and they're displayed in areas with a lot of foot traffic throughout
NYC, it makes it so that her work is accessible to a wider demographic of
people. She uses simple vocabulary and concise
relatable statements that are applicable to the people who see them, and to whom
might not otherwise be going to gallery spaces.
Hi Meagan:
ReplyDeleteThanks for your responses. I like the comment about Holzer's work and am curious to hear more about how installation work that interrupts public space in NYC might be different than the same type of work here. I am also wondering if there are times, spaces, etc. when you feel there should be limits to the types of liberties that installation artists often take with physical spaces. Thanks!
