Complaints

I still as of yet have received an emails back concerning my poster. I still have no idea if you have found it yet.

Research – installation

Looking at an extreme end of installation photography Erik Kessels makes it a hands on experience.

Reseach – installation?

I began to search what makes installation art, would a method like Chloes be referred as installation?

It seems like it would but i wouldn’t be so set on it as it seems like pretty much anything can be installation art.

Reseach

I was hoping this website will give me some sort of definition on what an art gallery actually is. instead it became more of a bitchy load of comments to inexperienced photographers of what not to do when concerning a gallery.

Research (c/ w. Mathews)

We had a guest speaker at uni called Chloe dewe Mathews. A photographer who told us about here solo show she created in 2009 called banger boys. here she exhibited in a garage and used a bashed up car to add to the atmosphere in the images.

she is a great example on how the photograph in a gallery can be transformed!

research

I thought this text would help find an easy explanation to what defines an art gallery as Jonathan James seems so direct.

although interesting this article is more of a document on the Saatchi gallery.

research

quite a corny website. in looking for written material that explore what a gallery actually is i found this:

http://www.onekindesign.com/2013/10/11/58-stylish-ways-transform-ordinary-walls-art-gallery-walls/

More of an interior design blog but in their view a gallery seems to be a space to hand images, you can call it a gallery or not ?

Reseach

jonathan jones argued that image viewed on ipads will be a much greater platform for images. i agree with this greatly! so i found Andres Gursky who is claer evidence that an ipad cant always work to benefit the photographer.

Andreas Gursky interviewed

Gursky – “The pictures are not so small that you can’t recognise anything; and they are still big enough that if you approach them you can get many details. But there are also images like Kamiokande which can’t be read in  a small size – it can only develop its power in a bigger format.’”

Reseach

In looking at images that i found particually lifeless within a gallery i reminded my self of David Lynch’s exhibition in the photographers gallery 2014.
