For the theme of Translation I was thinking of presenting them outside of the traditional white cube space. I want to put them in a real, existing location as these images are of modern life and so should be seen within such an enviroment.
I could present the paintings along a busy urban street in the space of or as billboards, advertisments in bustops, in shop windows or stuck to the wall like a fly poster posters. Would anyone notice them? Would they stand out or merge with the environment they originated from? They might become part of the everyday onslaught of imagery forced upon people in the public and in their homes.
urban street like these would work well as there are options with options to present work on different scales in a small space. |
People may be to consumed in their own world to look up and notice or maybe they will simply dismiss it as another advertisement and so not pay any attention. If they did notice they would have to work against the crowd and traffic to view the work which is out of snyc with the ease of access to imagery we are used to in this day and age.
I think that the Translation exhibition would also work well in a barren, deserted environment or a natural landscape like an open field where there’s no place for technology it is alien in this environment.
Nevada Present work alongside the road. |
Still presenting the work as big billboards, posters bringing the city/modern life into this natural environment. Comment on technology taking over. Seeing/watching/interacting with the world through a lens.
