It has been far to long since my last blog and I didn't realise quite how long so I must have been busy. The next show is moving on well and we are now confirming Artists, it is exciting times. I do enjoy the blogging so thought it time to get back too it no matter how busy I am.
I saw this Article (CLICK HERE) on the ARTnews website and it got me thinking. The article talks about being as specific in exhibiting works as to use only the correct white, this is something we do not always have the luxury of as we appropriate space for our exhibitions. Many of the sites in York are far from 'white cubes' but often this can add to the Art as much as distract. White walls are good but if you read 'Inside the White Cube' by Brian O'Doherty you begin to see the fall out from this prescribed way of showing work.
With Revolving Gallery exhibitions people are going to interact with the surroundings and this is all part of the event and why we pick certain venues. With closely curated exhibitions we have work able to draw the viewer in and these are the works you live with. Art that demands your attention, work you can see everyday and enjoy no less each time means the background should make little difference and the work pulls you in.
