Alternative Space

Take another look at the Alternative Exhibition Format slideshow (on the class site). 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, and if you think you might be considering using an alternative exhibit format write about that too.

I really like all of the exhibits that played with the relation of the pieces to each other. In a lot of them, however, the subjects of the art were similar, which is not something that i am doing. i do think that even though my own work is much different each other, i would still be able use the ideas. I think that if the locations of the pieces are different than in a normal museum it would be able to create a more cohesive exhibit. for the work that i am hoping to do during the class, there are a lot of somewhat related topics in all of them. Most of the stuff i am doing relates to nature but i also want to do a few things that portray people and man made things. the questions i have to think about is weather or not it would be more interesting to pair all the nature things together and all the human things together or ignore the topics all together. Another aspect of what will hopefully be in my exhibit is a projected image. That in itself has a lot of things that can be done with it. I have been thinking a lot about what the movie should be projected on. My fist thought would be to just have it straight on a wall but it would also be interesting to have it projected on other things. Another thing that i really liked in the slide show was the image of the three men in the gold frame. We talked about how there is a certain strangeness in having such a classical looking frame and a more modern image. I think it might be cool if the video is in a frame because the it was not the first thing that i thought of when i thought about how to show the video. it almost seems like a frame would be confining the video.
