The piece above Room 2 came about after presenting my art history presentation that year where we entered the room as such in to show off our selective talks and then we all left. This automatically linked with my ideas and themes I had been flowing and as such resulted in this piece of work.
It’s a simple piece showcasing an individual’s (me) walking up to the front of the room bowing to and applause and the action repeating. The fading figure helps reassured this idea of the room being used in a shorthanded sense producing the feeling of faded and repeated use of the same kind.
This piece was shown in the same room it was recorded in for the final presentation.
Let me know what you think down below. Thank you.
Brief extract:
Site: Specific & Reactive will see you making art work that is specifically for a particular site; it will, in short, be site specific.
Site specific work is that which is developed for, made for and seen at or in a particular site; as such, in some cases, (but not all), it is the antithesis of art work which we often encounter in a gallery or exhibition space.
The latter can often be nomadic, appearing in one exhibition space after another, and relating to one curatorial perspective after another in what might be called the ‘white cube’. Such work does not tend to take a lead from, or be informed by any particular site in which it is encountered. Importantly, site-specific work appears in one space or place and one space or place only. Its link and relationship with that space or site is integral and unequivocal.
