A joined exhibit within the college which was held at the old hairdressers in glasgow. The theme that we had all agreed on what to appropriate lampshades. So we all had to make individual work representing our own work and integrate that into a different form of lampshades.

My own work

Examples of other works from the others in my class.

It was really fun and a new learning experince to figure out where everything would go and to rearrange everything so it would look great.

We had different roles that we took part in and each role helped to run everything smoothly.

The day its self was a good learning curve as I learned how to set up my own work and how to work in an open area with other people as well, but to also figure out problems when some turned up.

It has helped me prepare for the future if I decided to display my own work or even curate other artists work.

INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT

Instagram account= shay_arts_

I created this account at the start of semester one because I wanted to start to become more confident and a bit more independent with getting my work out there. My account consists of mutliple different versions of the work I have done over the past two years up until now. My goal with my Instagram account is just to be more confident in the work I create, but to also show others the work I create. At the moment I'm entirely sure where I am taken my Instagram account but I am taken my time with it and learning as I go.

I really enjoying look at their work because they try and transform objects that we classify as trash and make them into free standing sculptures that resembles the human figure.

I do think I have the same process but I want to incase the objects that I found, to give the impression that there could be a solid object inside of the materials that I use. To make people question how the structure I have made are possible and have them think if there could be something inside, something they cant see. It then makes my work become interactive, because I want the audience to get closer and see if they can work it out

"The artist Nikolaus Gansterer has a deep interest in the links between drawing, thinking and action. While having had an ongoing practice of mappings and diagrams, in his recent project he is focussing on the exploration of expanded drawing.

Is it possible to let the inherent dynamics of space be recorded, mapped and drawn by themselves? Therefore, dynamic things in public space such as trees, wind, insects, etc., are tested to become drawing tools, capturing unique described movements. Thus, for example, a writing tool suspended inside hardware inscribes on a paper the wave movement of a canal, drawing instruments held on stretched ropes are pressed onto paper by birds sitting on the ropes,  
papers attached to street cars brush through the city or even plain papers get buried in the park becoming a test field for microbial activities: All of these experiments offering a very specific insight on the otherwise invisible traces of the urban spaces. Each of the drawing stations distributed in the city is its own performative spot at which the observer can follow the process."

He works with a wide range of materials to expand his drawing to a complety new level, he pushes the boundries on what we classify trying to be bu working with his natural surrounding and uses what he sees.

He is an excellent example to follow. I want to be able to become more in tune with the world around me and try and push my drawing abilitys further.

"Gilbert is interested in hyper-consumerism and how purchasing desired items in the ever-changing brandscape results in short-lived feelings of satisfaction. After the purchase, there is an air of disappointment; we are right back where we began, wanting more…and the cycle continues.

Joanna has recently explored the experience economy within the hyper-consumerist culture and created the brand ‘NOTHING TO BUY’.

Joanna Gilbert is exploring these critical questions: Are we consuming for the sake of consuming? What if we consumed a vacant space? How would that impact our desire to purchase if there is nothing to purchase?"

Such as the same as my work I want people to question why we are consuming so much products, how can these particular needs leave such a strong pull on us and why we have the need to keep going back. Even tho we dont really understand fully why and why we dont want to acknowledge the reason for it

"TRACES investigates the relationship between the hand, material and the paper. Through a series of process-based drawings, Leigh explores how Surrealist and Abstract Expressionist techniques of automatic drawing can be reiterated in a contemporary context. Leigh reprocesses the material qualities of her drawings using photo screen printing and other remediations, thereby displacing the mark and the artist’s subjective position with the performative gestural marks of the unconscious approach to drawing."

"To an outside observer, the creation of a work of art can seem like a magical process, with the artist dreaming up a concept and then transmuting it from pure ether into an inspired tangible object. But while the artwork can seem effortless when seen in its finished form, it is in fact the product of trial and error, honed skills, experience, and, in many cases, significant physical exertion—all taking place in the private laboratory that is the artist’s studio."

Her work consists of strong vibrant hyperrelatisitc forms. Her work is interesting and I also feel I little bit envious that she can create such amazing work of arts.

Her work does resemble rochesch tests, even tho they do show paint blobs you would think they would become unrecognizable but you are still able to make a connection with them.

There work represents the gap between representation and abstraction art, making and finding forms that are recognizable to the eye. They use day to day objects and scenerys to make our brains work in ways they usually wont. We are challenged to look at mundane things in a compleltydifferent way than we would have before. They create a strong and powerful meaning.

They enjoying creating new ways of seeing the world around us by recording instances in the moment.

I am going to use these artist as a starting point because I like how they find mundane objects to make us see. This will help me work with different/found materials, it would help me push my art to a new and exciting boundary.

He thought that patients were actually supposed to create ink blots for psychologists to decode -- not the other way around. He even thought about paying someone to decode his own blots, but never got around to it.

“I thought that when you went to places like hospitals, they tell you to draw and make the Rorschach tests. I wish I’d known there was a set," Warhol later explained.

But it was an unintentionally genius move. The paintings put an egalitarian spin on stuffy abstract painting.

I love how large he has made his composition and I want to be able to work in this large of a scale because i believe it will change the image and have a really strong impact. I am also pushing myself further to work in a larger scale that will push my art further.

As she travels, she collects, often cast-off textiles, or gifts of the old and the worn, mostly gifted from friends. These are painted, layered, collaged and stitched to capture fleeting moments in time respond to her environment, her experiences and the interaction between the urban, the human and the land.

Her work to me is interesting because of the multiple layering and mixed media materials on top. It makes you question and become curious as to what each layer is prevailing to you. I want tk be able to work in this type of mixed media by making my own dy of fabric and collab it together using embroidery. But to also embrace the over layering because I want to show those connection intertwining with each other

Haegue Yang seeks to communicate without language in a primordial and visual way: often complementing her vocabulary of visual abstraction with sensory experiences that include scent, sound, light and tactility. Combining industrial fabrication and folk craftsmanship, Yang explores the affective power of materials in destabilizing the distinction between the modern and pre-modern. Yang’s unique visual language extends across various media (from paper collage to staged theatre pieces and performative sculptures), and materials (Venetian blinds, clothing racks, synthetic straw, bells and graph paper) that are torn, lacquered, woven, lit and hung. Her artistic explorations stem from material-based concerns, accompanied by philosophical, political and emotionally charged readings of historical events and figures. Her ongoing research is empowered by underlying references to art history, literature and political history, through which she re-interprets some of her recurrent themes: migration, postcolonial diasporas, enforced exile and social mobility. As a result, these pieces link various geopolitical contexts and histories in an attempt to understand and comment on our own time. Yang’s translation from the political and historical into the formal and abstract, demonstrates her conviction that historical narratives can be made comprehensible without being linguistically explanatory or didactic.

I remember seeing this peice first hand in the NEW museum in New York. The photos dont do it justice. I found the art work very inviting and large. You could walk around the large room freely without feeling cramped, even with the sculptures all over the floor.

It was very fascinating because her display was smart because there was little holes around the second floor that allowed you to look down at the work. By doing this you where able to see her work in a new angle.

Magill-Oliver creates delicate, meditative collages, drawings and paintings that reflect and explore different elements of the natural world.  She has worked primarily on paper over the past several years but has recently expanded her work to include mixed media abstract paintings on canvas. 

Her work to me is so natural and explores a very strong concept when referring to the different elements in the world around us. I like her use has well with using paper because it helps me in this state because I only have the resources or paper and fabric. Her drawings are very abstract and organic that reminds me of the organic forms that I like to work with.

I want to be able to use her techniques with using mix media but also looking at different paints instead of arcylic.
