Exhibition ideas

Photo Booth to showcase my art works.

Exhibition – ‘Monsters’

The aim is to create an emotionally stimulating static piece of artworks which should provoke one’s mind to question how we view others around us, these works will be viewed in an exhibition space. This controlled space should elicit the response wanted from the audience.
While looking up reviews of other exhibitions, key points were brought to attention. These points included how every piece of art there is brought into weighing of one’s own piece, within the exhibition. This brought forth the thought of making one’s display contrasting with the other pieces. Which in turn would cause a more memorable viewing. The importance of a memorable exhibition is extremely essential  when factoring in all aspects of the project ‘Monsters’, firstly the project is about grabbing attention and forcing the audience to make an emotional response, secondly the aim is for the project to stand out from other health campaigns, if successful the mock campaign should be worth talking about and possibly provoke questions, or opinionated conversations.

Aiming to create a dated 1980’s-1990’s photo booth to frame and showcase the art works, reason behind this strange showcase is as mentioned before the overall viewing experience will be more memorable, other than that it will stand alone and stand apart from the other exhibitions. One would walk in and sit (where one is meant to have a picture taken) instead of a screen showing one’s facial expressions, there will be a screen showing the static art works. The art work will be on a loop, so the viewer can go in at any time draw the curtain and see all the work connected with the project. On the outside of the photo booth there will be plaques explaining the works, their importance and the connection between the subject and personal experiences.
The rough dimensions of the photo booth are as follows, door 6ft by 4ft, the booth itself should stand between 4ft and 5ft wide and just taller than 6^ft length wise. On the outside of the booth, where one would normally collect said photos, the audience will be able to collect business cards. The booth will have a panel of plastic imitation wood running down the front as well as a small mirror for retro authenticity; the reason behind this retro style choice is that photo booths are rare in this modern society being that younger generations can take the same type/standard of photos at home with the use of such digital hardware as webcams, digital cameras smart phones etc.  If the space needed is provided further planning and proper measurements will be made. Further graphic plans will be made so that the construction will be simple and legible. As for the flooring within the booth, the retro style will be continued possible with a black and white checked floor (which is a mix match of styles but hopefully will add to the retro/out of date feel) The curtain will be a heavy velvet curtain, which the viewer will be able to open and close at will. The colour of the curtain has not been agreed yet.
Overall the rough summary of the plans for the exhibition have hopefully been fresh and exciting.  

Dadaism

'Dada (English pronunciation: /ˈdɑːdɑː/) or Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in Zurich, Switzerland, during World War I and peaked from 1916 to 1922.^[1] The movement primarily involved visual arts, literature—poetry, art manifestoes, art theory—theatre, and graphic design, and concentrated its anti-war politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. Its purpose was to ridicule what its participants considered to be the meaninglessness of the modern world. In addition to being anti-war, dada was also anti-bourgeois and anarchist in nature.'

Hieronymus Bosch

famous painter, he created some interesting creatures. He's also known as the first heavy metal painter.

Chris Landreth

'Ryan, directed by Chris Landreth, is an animated tribute to Canadian animator Ryan Larkin. Thirty years ago, at the National Film Board of Canada, Ryan produced some of the most influential animated films of his time. In Ryan we hear the voice of Ryan Larkin and people who have known him, but these voices speak through strange, twisted, broken and disembodied 3D generated characters... people whose appearances are bizarre, humorous or disturbing. Although incredibly realistic and detailed, Ryan was created and animated without the use of live action footage, rotoscoping or motion capture...but instead from an original, personal, hand animated three-dimensional world which Chris calls 'psychological realism'.'

Fantastic piece of emotion stirring work.
