Screenshots From Videos For 'The Third Degree'
Mika Rottenberg at Nottingham Contemporary
The installations that were created to view the video work in led to the viewer feeling like they were in another environment other than that of the gallery.
The piece which most caught my attention was one whereby the viewer had to peer through a small circular hole in the gallery wall to view the video. Similar to the idea of the installations, it was easily forgotten that you were in a gallery context.
Below are some images of the exhibition:

Is It Really So Strange?
This exhibition by second years appealed to me due to the choice of displaying work in a van. It links to my practice not only through the van but also through selecting the location of just outside a gallery to place it.
How important is the physical context which art is shown in and does art need a link to an institution to determine it being art?

Versus
This quote displayed at the exhibition was of strong interest to me:
"artistic intelligence is no longer governed by the conflation of making with the traditions of mark-making but rather with conceptual acuity"
John Roberts, The Intangibilities of Form.

The Radev Collection: Bloomsbury and Beyond
The curation of this exhibition at The Collection caught my attention due to the use of L-shapes. I am also planning to build an L-shape within my space for 'The Third Degree'. Through adding extra walls to create these shapes, as well as using exisiting walls, I feel the space was well divided and the work effectively hung.

Discussion With Rob (3D Technician)
I have just been in my space for the degree show with Rob to discuss the construction of boards so I can place an order for the materials I will be needing. We have decided to construct a hatch which I will be able to climb through in order to get to the Macs. I shall also need to blackout the window with suitable blackout material.
Statement For Catalogue
“The artworld network is the ground of possibility for anything to appear as art for us today.” (Arthur Danto)
Is it purely the physical context of the gallery that determines an object becoming a piece of art?

Lee Yongbaek
The screens showing my videos will be level with the boards. This idea reminded me of some work I saw at the Venice Biennale last year by the artist Lee Yongbaek which was shown in the Korean pavilion. Below are some images of his work and also a video which documents his work at the Biennale.
Decision For Layout Of Exhibition Space For Degree Show
I have decided to use the layout in my third idea (the L-shape). This is because the space created will be smaller and thus more intimate. The excessive nature of the videos will be revealed to a greater extent as they will be shown over a smaller area and therefore they will be able to be viewed together at the same time as well as separately. Obstructions (such as bulky lights and smoke alarms) will also be out of sight and as a result will not become distractions.
Third Design For Layout Of Exhibition Space For Degree Show
The third idea consists of creating an L-shape out of boards and using the section of the room close to the door.
Second Design For Layout Of Exhibition Space For Degree Show
The second idea involved spacing the Mac screens around the room as opposed to being placed all on one wall.
First Design For Layout Of Exhibition Space For Degree Show
The first idea I had was to have all the screens showing my videos on the back wall. A corridor will need to be built to enable me to get behind the boards to reach the Macs.
'Revisitations'
Recently seen an interesting selection of work at the Ipswich Art School
gallery. The exhibition ‘Revisitations’ featured artwork from the Saatchi
Gallery, London.
Aleksandra Mir’s piece (‘Newsroom’,
1986-2000) particularly grabbed my attention due to it being text based and the
curatorial decisions. Mir originally created this work for an exhibition
at the Mary Boone gallery, New York
in 2007. For the duration of the exhibition, a Manhattan newsroom environment was created in
which she worked.
Exhibition Space For Degree Show
Photographs of the space I shall be exhibiting in for my degree show (currently being used as a studio):
Reflection On Mini Exhibition
This was an excellent opportunity to work with my peers to produce a show. It was challenging having to share a fairly small space between a large number of people. I found this particularly frustrating as I believe my work to be most effective when shown alone. This has clarified the need to have an exhibition space to myself for the degree show.
Positive feedback was given about the video shown. The fact that the writing isn't portrait, having the speed quickened, the fact that the video was reversed and the sound were all of interest.
Mini Exhibition
Below are some photographs documenting my work produced for the mini exhibition. This exhibition was held within the Greestone building, Lincoln and showed the work of everyone in my year. It was a good experience in preparation for the degree show.
