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 missed the day of school when we first looked at the sideshow of Alternate Exhibition. Looking at the slideshow now, I find the artwork very interesting. I like the idea of mixing themes, like Kehinde Wiley. In her picture she has a beautiful fancy frame, with bright sophisticated colors, but her subject is three ordinary teenage boys. They are wearing simple clothes, just hanging out. She is taking a very simple moment, highlighting it, and therefore, making it beautiful.
In this slideshow there is a lot of abstract artworks that really make me think. Example of those artworks are Kiki Smith, Cai Guo-Quiang, Joseph Grigely, Christian Boltanski, and Sarah Sze. I enjoy abstract art, because the message is not that clear. This leaves room for my interpretation. I really like Sarah Sze art with all the tape. I enjoy math and science, and her artwork has a sense of those subjects in them. I also feel like I'm looking into a different world.
I wish I had seen this slideshow earlier because I would have liked to explore other way to express my ideas than a 2D picture. I enjoy painting, but I didn't push myself to express my artwork in different way this term. However, this is probably because I took sculpture last term. I was ready to not make 3D artwork anymore, since I had done that last term.
