'Making Traces', 'Poetry and Dream' and 'Energy and Process'
For the Contextual Studies unit of our Foundation, we were asked to visit the Tate Modern in Southwark. Given a list of 9 rooms, we walked around for a while to get a general feeling before settling on 6 of the ones I particularily enjoyed and I felt had potential due to either the layout of the exhibition or just the work being displayed.
With looking at so many pieces, I was able to produce a decent amount of primary research and valuable notes on the overall feeling of the exhibition. Above are four of my favourite images (clockwise from top left
- To Unroll One's Skin (1970) - Giuseppe Penone
- Big Blue (1996) - George Condo
- From 'Beach Portraits' collection (1992) - Rineke Dijkstra
- From 'Adam's Apple' collection (1983) - Paz Errazuriz
White Cube, Bermondsey
Robert Irwin; Cerith Wyn Evans
A drastically different environment to the Tate, the White Cube Gallery felt like one massive installment. The tranquil atmosphere complimented the pieces of Robert Irwin and Cerith Wyn Evans very well.
The notes I managed to take from this gallery extended my idea on difference in galleries and I feel it was not just a excellent exhibition but also a very good collection to compare and contrast to what I saw at the Tate, both in method of artistic expression and exhibition. One large part of this is due to the artists both being heavy influences on the set up of the exhibition at the White Cube where as in Tate, the artists would have very little to do with it.
Below are my favourite parts of the White Cube's space from both artists.
