THE BEAUTY OF DISTANCE:
Songs of Survival in a Precarious Age
As a class we attended Sydney
The title Beauty of Distance explores the fact that the Distance between one and another allows each individual to be different in their own way. Distance explores the condition of art itself in that for art to be art there must be a distance between itself and real life. There must be a distance between art and life in that no matter how terrible, abstract, beautiful or alluring an artwork is unlike real life nobody can get hurt.
Posted below are some of the artworks viewed threw out the day...
These artworks were very overwhelming and freaky... really made you think about the meaning and artists thoughts.
These wax made figures were amazing... so life like that you actually were compelled to touch them. This one above in particular was very life like in that the mouth moved as the figure "slept" and breating noises were played to add to the realism.
These screens left a very memorable impression on the viewer as the large scaled images ran threw the slides and movies... The artwork was very overwhelming in that as you looked around the room the images were impossible to escape from.
This artwork very inspirational was made out of tupperware baskets... like a plastic forest. I loved the artwork because as you look at it you dont realise what its made out of... the work just looks like an aesthetically pleasing feature, although when you realise what its made of the artwork takes on a whole other meaning.
This artwork a four sided pilon covered in this texts really challenges the viewer and makes them think into the meaning in a great deal.
This artwork is a little hard to see from the photograph although it was an antique piano which was on levers that slid up and down the pylons while making blunt, loud noises.

The last viewed artwork for the day was these cars... a personal favourite and a favourite for numerous other individuals aswell (obvious threw reviews) the artwork was amazing... had a massive influence on me due to the large scale of it and was very inspirational.
Overall the exhibition was very inspiration and really made myself as an artist think.
