Images used for the Crit:
I hadn’t though of working directly on the wall before like this I’ve written on walls before but this is a new thing so i might do that more.
I do prefer the white wall, magnolia isn’t great to photograph.
The group thought that the ‘Transcend the Cube’ title is good.
Webpage: professional, gallery, white background of the website. Video made you feel like you could interact with the works.
Film: flow between works worked well. Connections were formed between the work. Congruity. Made you feel like you were together/ in the same house or contained in a gallery, areas of one structure.
Claire: Clever construct of bringing the work together and contextual and appropriate. Suspense and anxiety latent feeling of things going to happen. Eerie. Spent the night in a haunted house. Mystery came out of it.
Susan: Setting within the art station website is elegant and works well. Moving image and still images highlights the different modes of communication to document and relay work to an audience through an online platform and shows how some work lends itself to be documented better through still vs moving image. It reads as a house full of artists using one space.
My work: a beautiful bright explosion of work. Colours and shadowing. Looks like a Phoenix rising from the ashes. Like the person viewing it was in the space, watched it so many times it is like you know where you’re going. It pulls you up the stairs. Organic and movement and movement pulling you along up the stairs. Is it fire or water what is it? Good use of colour, automatic an impulsive feels different going up or down. Spacing and use of the white background. Jim Kay. Angle you look at it you make new connections and continuous links as the work moves across space and still lines up. Living with the mural. Permanent ephemerality. amazing energy, coming out of landscape – rivers sea, mountain forest moving together. Playful the joy of paint and mark making. Making the confined space seem ‘other’. Cy Twombly four seasons. Purposefulness, not precious so it invited you to revel in the joy of the instantaneous ness mistake, error and drips. Courage and confidence in the scale and space. Based on chance and intuition. The words just came out. Expression through mark making and language. Makes you look more at it. William kentridge. Poetry and mark making.
