I recently took a trip to the Walker Art Gallery and the Tate Liverpool for some general inspiration. apart from getting told off for taking pictures I managed to see some interesting things.
The Tate has some very interesting sculptures as a part of the DLA Piper Series: This Is Sculpture, these two especially took my interest.
(left) This piece first interested me because one of my friends had done something similar not to long ago. Then when I took time to look at it properly I noticed the quality of the painting of the clouds upon the face, this is quite a strong piece without being to aggressive, and yet the notion of there being a head mounted on the wall is actually quite aggressive.
(right) The way the light bounces off the walls gives quite a air of awe to this piece and the shape of a cross instantly connects this piece with an other worldly aura. still unsure about the yellow paint it was bouncing off, but over all i felt this piece as simple as it is has good standing and holds a distinctive feeling to it.
Also part of this; is A room made up by Wayne & Jack Hemingway as a huge dancefloor. For this room you take some headphones in and listen to music whilst walking past sculpture with discoballs and mirrors surrounding. This I felt really did bring the sculptures to life, definatly lets you look at the pieces in a new way and i felt like it was done in a way that worked. The only problem i had with this room was i didn't see any pieces i havn't seen before, i felt the selection of the pieces was a little uninspired.
