Wow wow
wow. I still can’t get over how awful the Claire Oliver Gallery was. I 100%, no doubt hated everything that was inside of that gallery. I want to respond to the work I saw in my own
work and I still don’t know if I want to match the horrible quality and stupid
ideas… or if I want to recreate what should have been hanging on those pure
white walls. I’m still trying to figure
out if the artist Matthew Sleeth, was satisfied while looking at his work
hanging on that wall… because who could be?
I
personally have worked with a grid form before, and when I was in 12th
grade and found it very rewarding to connect the pieces and essentially, complete a puzzle. Obviously, I am biased against
my own work but my 17 year old self was more creative than what was in front of
my eyes at the Claire Oliver gallery. How? Why? I just do not know.
After looking at a piece of work I would like to have a small understanding as to at least why the artists did what they did. I do not believe that everything has to have a deeper meaning, I believe some photos should exists purely for the aesthetics and beauty. But these... my God. I stared at these grids on the walls for much longer than they deserved, and I got absolutely nothing from them.
So here we have umbrellas. And not just regular umbrellas but broken, tattered umbrellas. They're all shot looking down, they're all ugly colors and they all look abandoned.
Here we have the Chrysler building from different points of view seen throughout the city. From this image I learned that the Chrysler building is not only big but you can use it as a landmark. Oh, and the building is pointy, very pointy.
I've never hated an artist this much and I am glad to know that this is the kind of work that is being displayed in center of the art world.
