Gallery visit
i went to the Manchester Art Gallery yesterday and whilst looking at art I was interested in what didn’t captivate me and what did, why did some art get my attention and other pieces I just wanted to walk past?
I have never felt inclined to look at art when it doesn’t pull me and some of the rooms I passed through where as others i spent time in.
Sometimes knowing what you don’t like pushes you to understand what you do like and why you like…because it is opposed to what you don’t like?
I am pulled to bright colours, or black and white, I like moving images, I like a good back story, what the artist is/was going through, what the creator is trying to comment on, i like sound.
I am considering this when making works for the upcoming exhibItion.
