Happily Ever After



Group 3 had their installation this week.


Great picket fence leading into it and the grass was a lot of fun to walk on and eventually sit on. They also had images projected onto screens made up of paper airplanes and giant paper airplanes swooping through the entire gallery.



Unfortunately there where to many complaints concerning the smell of the
grass and it had to be removed.



A shame, but still a great job by the final group!

Wednesday

Art 21

Hulu now has 16 episodes of the PBS series ART 21. If you haven't seen or heard of it check this out from their description, "...the only series on television to focus exclusively on contemporary visual art and artists in the United States, ... Fascinating and intimate footage allows the viewer to observe the artists at work, watch their process as they transform inspiration into art, and hear their thoughts as they grapple with the physical and visual challenges of achieving their artistic visions."

One of my favorite artists featured is Cai Guo-Qiang in episode one of season 3 Power-see below. He is the first artist in this episode, some of you may recognize some of his work I've linked to before like this.




Art 21 also has there own blog here. Now go forth and be enlightened.

LOOK



The first group installation went up this week titled, LOOK. Showing this week at the Exit Gallery located on campus at Cal State Fullerton. I think they did a wonderful job. Loved the curtains and how they intersected the projection image and divided it up into layers.

The installation consisted of two rooms with this first room having projected voyeuristic videos through curtains and onto a built wall. Yes they built the wall, pretty cool.


The second room was like, for me, a carnival House of Mirrors.


With mirrors surrounding the viewer and a projection of video that consisted of people staring at you. All of this reflected off the mirrors and placed on more hanging curtains. Oh did I mention the peep holes in the wall? Nice touch.



Nice work Group 1, my group is next with "Enough".


Friday

Simple Installation


On the Cal State Fullerton campus this last Wednesday, students (including myself) presented Simple Installations all over campus. The first one on the right was done by Melaney Schmidt. It ran down the entire hallway.









Tammie Rothstein was making bubbles.

Miho Aiba changed a campus bench.

Tanaz Shirazian hung out to dry.







Ricky Yarnall changed our perceptions.



Stephanie Lundstrom was sick but still managed to get her installation hung.





Adding some color and growth to the drab campus.


Kataoka Megumi had an old style alarm inside the can with smoke billowing out.

The string and many little crystals looked great in the sun.








Tiffany Slagle incorporated a sculpture garden for her web idea.


Kelly Rice placed these in the entrance to the men's bathroom, creeped some guys out.

Notice the huge mouths over the urinals in the men's bathroom, also notice the entire class (including females) was in there- "hellooo ladies".




Jesus Lozano "chewie" had some great light
modifications in another building.

This one was a salute to Duchamp, with a sort of reverse on taking and changing the object into the museum to taking the museum to the object.

"I am not your doormat"




Romiro did a wonderful installation with string.







The men's bathroom was very popular, this shrine was created by the artist in the refection .






Even though it was using sound I didn't want to miss at least mentioning this one that sounded earily like being in a strange airport with all the different and garbled voices.



Okay mine is last, I'm putting two images so you can read the text, see whats in the box and becuase it's my blog. :)

Thats me in the reflection, notice the professional elbow action.


Please let me know if I did not give you or gave you the wrong credit and I'll jump back in here and fix it.
