Viewing single post of blog Painting and theory

In the following weeks, final fine art students have to come up with an idea to exhibit in a space thats surrounded by our studios.
My ideas
– create a performace, still image, text and a painting responding to the theme of emotion.

(this is a still image of a possible moving performance, where I will be changing emotions throughout the video)

There are few ideas that are in my head. I want to connect a little bit to the ideas of Jenny Holzer. I want to create a space with many artworks connected to one another like she tends to do herself. I visited one of London’s galleries, where her works of a sign, a bench and a text all connected the room together (can’t find the picture at the moment, will add later if its found again).
JENNY HOLZERĀ 

Jenny Holzer is an American neo-conceptual artist. The main focus of her practice is the delivery of words and ideas in public spaces. Her work consists of installations, advertising billboards, projections on buildings and other structures and illuminated displays. https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/jenny-holzer-1307

Although I am not a big fan of her paintings, I found my love for her light installations that have been in the Tate modern till 2019.
These are some of my favourites from Artist Rooms. Dont really know the titles, but it all fell under her webpage folder titled LEDS.

This work titled New Corner 2011 belongs to one of my favourites as well. Dont really know the 100% reason, but I could stare at it (maybe because of the colours) for ages.

Many ideas, many possibilities

These are the ideas that came out of my tutorial with Jane Watts. I will consider working more openly without being stuck onto one specific idea or placement of my works in the studio space/gallery room.
