I especially enjoyed your description of the speakers against the wall as a "horizon line", because I think that added another subtle layer to the presentation of the work that other viewers may not have perceived.<br /><br />My main criticism has to do with wording. In the first two sentences you use the name of the gallery twice, which felt awkward to read. You do it again with name of the show, ending the second sentence with the name and immediately repeating it to begin the next sentence. I think if you substitute your second use of "303 Gallery" with "the space", it might flow better. Same deal with the show title. <br /><br />Also, I think the last paragraph could be re-worded to more effectively convey the connection between the spacial and aural elements of the show and the viewer's feelings of curiosity and anxiety.<br /><br />All in all, the review was concise, understandable, and well put-together. Good job.Sara Blazejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16484821432393492070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466314672723988836.post-35542219623587547112011-10-14T07:53:51.539-07:002011-10-14T07:53:51.539-07:00Good juxtaposition of conceptual scale of the work...Good juxtaposition of conceptual scale of the work - an intriguing way to start off your introduction. Very good description of how a particular piece in the show appears and how one's perspective changes upon closer analysis. You present the reader with the idea of objects that possess a particular function, lose their functionality through repetition or negation of their original/foundational structure and gain the title 'art'. However, i wish you would explore or add, what exactly the artist meant with these objects. Does he indeed conceive of them as art? Or is he making a pun? Does he wish to address the irony of utilitarian objects acquiring the name 'art' in everyday use? Or is he commenting on the need for an artist to step in and call something art? Is there an artist's statement? what are his goals? what does he want to achieve/say with these installations? And how is the viewer meant to respond/react? I think your analysis would be much strengthened if you could address some of these points.Elizaveta Ivanovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310862447433391397noreply@blogger.com
