I want to start off by saying that the two people that came in and talked to us were very talented and very descriptive in everything. They help us understand the entire thought process behind their work, while most other artists just tell us what they wanted to happen. This is my third art showing here at OSU Mansfield and this is definitely my favorite one, so far. The work, to me was interesting and it really made you think about what you were actually looking at. There was mystery in their art and it made me think.
There was one piece that REALLY stood out to me, and that was that big long one as soon as you walk into the gallery. I forget the name of it but, to me, forgetting the name makes it even more of a mystery. I liked this one so much because it had a sinister side to it. It was dark and creepy and a little grungy. It also kind of reminded me of one of those "ISPY" books. I used to look at those all day, and in the piece there is stuff all over the place. I actually found myself looking at the piece for different items, to see what all i could find.
My interpretation does not differ from the artists intentions, except for once concept. I did not really understand the political point in the picture. All i saw was the bird and all of the objects surrounding it. Although, i do not deny his intentions, but i did not see the political viewpoint in the picture it self.
All of my questions that i thought of were answered during the lecture. There were all answered without even having to ask the question. Overall, I feel like this is the best showing that has come to OSU Mansfield. The artists were very down to earth and their pieces were really interesting and made you actually look to see what you are seeing. Very good job to the artists.
Thanks for your comments, Austin! I am so glad you enjoyed the exhibition.
