Corner House and CUBE Gallery

The Interactive Arts group went to these two galleries. The Corner House gallery was ace. It was film based and had a wide range of pieces starting with cartoon strips and leading to collages and video pieces.
The gallery started off with more first hand illustrative art work that you could really get close to and feel a connection with and the further up the gallery you went it came to what seemed more of a professional background of work and not as personal to the viewer. The collage itself which was at the end of the gallery seemed as if it has been designed as a film board for the behind the scenes film directors to be looking at, as if it were a script. Here is an image, It was my favourite piece in the gallery:
It's not a clear image because it was taken on my blackberry.

I really liked this exhibition, especially since I'm passionate about film, especially horror and it had a few artworks that I really enjoyed because of this.


The second gallery that we looked at was the CUBE gallery. I felt that this gallery was layed out in a way that shows the environment, and then onto how people affect the environment and then moving onto the end where the environment effects the person. I felt this because of an animation of a bird in a cage. That was its environment and it was confused and trying discover what it was all about.
Next to the animation was a layout of builders hats. Each one of the hats was decorated to represent a part of the environment that a builder had affected/altered.
This piece also supports my idea that the exhibition was influenced with how people affect the environment.
I felt encouraged by the helmets in this art gallery to continue on with the way that I work. Sometimes I feel discouraged by a lot of work in galleries because I simply don't like it and I don't have much interest in trying to like it. I work in the same kind of way, by making models to portray an idea that can seem more obvious that a splodge on a canvas. It is not because of any ignorance it just what works well with me because it is fun and adventurous.
