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.
