ART REVIEW: family matters

Northlight Gallery Oct.21-Nov.22, 2014

On one of the last days Northlight Gallery, located at the Arizona State University School of Art,  had an exhibition up this month I decided to go visit one of their photography shows called “Family Matters” which was a revisited show. The concept of the exhibition was to gather similar work and similar ideas from various photographers and display them all in one show. The gallery had multiple rooms throughout, all which had work from different artists all separated by room. The first room had many photos on the wall of different familial situations such as group sport pictures, family dinners, activities you might do with your family, etc. Underneath all the photos in the first room was a brief one paragraph description of the photo and how the conceptual idea of family was tied in with the photograph.
In the other smaller rooms throughout the gallery there was various different work all very different from one another. One of the artists themes showed more so the relationships within family showing how different family values can be and how far boundaries can stretch within your own family. One photo that really stood out to me was a portrait of a mother and a daughter laying in a bed completely bare and hugging (artist: H Jennings Sheffield). This photographers work was from her series Tethered. I found her concept very intriguing and also made me feel more aware and open about other familial relationships.
The show not only had work from many photographers, there was also 2-D sculpture of four mannequins dressed with what seemed like hand made dresses made out of paper emphasizing the whole show in general. These mannequins were placed as you walked into the show greeting the viewers in a way, and the ideas of hand-made dresses went with the theme of family quite well. There was obviously a lot of creativity put into the exhibition with many different artists and photographers involved.
Overall I enjoyed the idea and concept of the show but the experience itself was not what I was expecting and somewhat dissatisfying. It seemed like the artwork was put up on the walls randomly with no effort to display the work for the viewer to enjoy. In one of the rooms the exhibition was knocked over obviously not doing its purpose and nobody cared to pick it up nor maintain the exhibition whatsoever. When I first walked in with multiple other people we were briefly greeted by a rude woman while she quickly turned her back and walked into a back room while her and other workers were making loud noise listening to music for the remainder of the time I was present. The artwork had potential to make a great impact on viewers but easily failed simplify because lack of maintenance of the exhibition.

Art Review

11/9/2014

0 Comments

 
    The first art review I read was on an exhibition held in Portland, Oregon by Dan Attoe written by Sue Taylor. Some of the things that really stood out to me about the review was how much Taylor described the artwork that it gave me a very distinct image in my mind about how the artwork looked. I feel as though this is a very important aspect in writing an art review. Something I did not like about the art review was how much Taylor picked apart the meaning of the art leaving no mystery for the viewer. The second art review I read was on Tony Greene held in Los Angeles written by Kate Wolf. Something I liked about this review that wasn't in the first review was a great amount of background information about the artist and artwork. I liked that Wolf informed the reader about the artists background and how the art came about. Overall I enjoyed reading the second one better merely because it left mystery about the artwork and didn't give too much opinion like the first one did.

Great Sound blogĀ

Sound artist: Jacqueline Kiyomi Gordon 

Sound artist, Jacqueline Kiyomi Gordon, takes a different approach on sound art by taking the auditory factor of sound art and mixing it with visual art. She explains on the website: Creators Project that sound art is typically boring to the naked eye which inspired her to make her sound art visually stimulating to her viewers, or should I say listeners. This obviously makes the creation of the art more complex considering you want the sound and the physical art to mix well and essentailly complement each other. Many of the viewers were quite satisfied with the finishing product. Check out some pics below!

Sound artist: Joel Cahen

Respected sound artist, Joel Cahen, takes sound art to a completely different level when he makes sound art a little more unique by bringing it underwater to his listeners. He calls his art Liquid Vibrations, clever right? His underwater art has been traveling to pools all across Europe "wowing" his listeners since 2008 and continues to do so. Cahen says he really tries to reach out to the visually impaired, hard of hearing, and special needs because you can still enjoy the art through the vibrations for the hard of hearing, and the sounds for the visually impaired. This seems like a great use of art if you ask me! Check out some pictures below of some of the more famous exhibitions featured in Europe. You can also find some of the sounds on SoundCloud called 'Wet Sounds'.

    Mark Dion is a well known art school graduate that isn't just your ordinary artist, painter, or sculptor, however he does something much different from other artists. Mark creates artwork out of regular every-day items and arranges them in a way that creates it into a piece of art. You name it he will create something amazing out of it. Mark graduated from University of Hartford, School of Art, Connecticut, and continues to live happily there while still creating his work on a daily basis. Not to mention, Dion has won countless awards throughout his career while having many pieces of his work displayed in various museums all across the United States.
    In the biography about Mark, they say “Dion creates works that question the distinctions between “objective” (“rational”) scientific methods and “subjective” (“irrational”) influences.” This was very inspirational to me making me realize there are so many different mediums of art that are endless. Watching the video makes me really believe art will never die in our society. It also made me realize that going outside of your comfort zone and really expressing yourself will help you create the best pieces. Mark Dion is an inspiration to many people, and so many people, including myself, are drawn to his abstract sculptures making anybody really think twice about what art really is and could be.

Here are some of his pieces below that really caught my eye.

Respectable artist Alberto Seveso, born and raised in Milan Italy, is an amazing digital artist that uses tools such as photoshop to make most of his artwork. Alberto was inspired as a young child fascinated by things like the artwork on skateboards, music albums, and so much more. He started young with computers, cameras, and other gadgets turning his fascination soon into a passion and later a very successful career. His work is now featured on and in magazines, websites, billboards, and so much more! If turning your passion into your career isn't success I don't know what is! Here are a few examples of some of his artwork that really caught my eye that I myself was fascinated with. After seeing some of his work you will realize adobe photoshop has endless opportunities for anybody with a little bit of effort!
