reflections (final project)

the final instalment...

this last post in the 'reflections' category talks of my final project in the course 'art installations'. titled 'little bundles of imagination' the installation seeks to represent the free and unrestrained nature of one's imagination. partnering with a Rhea Iyer we coupled our love for words and interest in interacting with the art, and as a result ended up with a hanging installation that comprised little 'bundles' which were little bits of paper with words printed on them, tied up in scraps of newspaper. 

underneath all this was another larger scrap of newspaper with the above-mentioned pieces of paper spilling out of it.

i sought to put the concept note in a poetic format as is shown below :

in a corner

by myself.

amongst the hustle bustle of the world,

i sit

excited,

like a child

on christmas morning,

opening my little

bundles of imagination.

reflections

art that inspires.

sorry i couldn't come up with a more interesting title but this particular post talks about an assignment i was faced with. amongst the thousands of artists across the centuries, i was to choose five artists that that most piqued my interests and i ended up with a satisfactory bunch...

4. Anish Kapoor

 

this is the 'sky mirror' by Anish Kapoor. the reason i have chosen this installation is that it amazes me how he has brought the sky and fit it into a little circle on the earth. 

3. Janet Echelman 

the size of her work really captures the serenity and flow of her giant woven sculptures. they reminded me of the auroras in the poles.

2. Berndnaut Smilde

i find myself with very little to say when it comes to these 'clouds' that Smilde has produced by blending art and science so magnificently, displaying an enormous feat of human ingenuity.

1. Florentjin Hofman 

this giant rubber duck put up by Florentjin Hofman, i have found, is the most effective of the art installations that i have explored. it perfectly brings out the simplest of emotions within people and makes the world one happy place, without intimidating its viewers with the complexity and mumbo jumbo of Art.
