SA245:Write about the exhibition at the Art & Music Library
For the exhibition at the Art&Music Library, I selected my second project ‘SE7EN’ to present, because my first project is to personal, I don’t want to show such personal work in public. And I also want to rework my second project, because it is interesting theme. I want to appeal more people to notice seven sins, and encourage people to confront these sins, and flight back the guilty and shame when they experience these sins.
My exhibition in art the Art&Music Library is totally different with my original installation in Level B of Rush Rhees Library. My original installation contains a game, so it needs enough space. But there has limited space in Art&Music Library, I have to consider how to instal my art work in limited space and how to cooperate with other pieces. I want to instal my piece in a corner and near to floor. Because ‘seven sins’ are in people’s deeper heart, it is a incisive and deeper topic, people rarely talk about them and notice them, but these definitely influence people a lot. Thus I want to instal my piece in a quite and secret space, and to create a quite feeling for audiences, so a quite corner is my best selection. Finally, I instal my piece as an order of seven in the wall, it is an implication of theme. I felt that it is a successful exhibitions. From this exhibition, I learn about that exhibition of art work can be different form, sometimes artists exhibit their work in an exhibition as totally different way with their original idea. Exhibition is integrated process, artist need to consider a lot of parts, such as location, the size of space, light, and audience’s preference. This exhibition definitely gives me valuable experience in this semester.
