Apply and reflect week 14

 This week we dove into the topic of racism a bit by looking at the Concerto in black and blue. The process behind the Concerto in black and blue was to walk through a gallery, the same thing is true here with Olafur Eliasson piece The Weather Project. Only his was trying to relate back to climate matters. He took people and brought them into the space to experience the "new" world around them and form there allowed them to determine how they felt about it. He made the space available for interpretation. He wanted to talk about climate control and the effects but wanted people to create there own ideas with it. I love the way artist can do this. With 3D spaces you have the opportunity to physically bring in your audience and have them go through this experience with you to try and see what you do but also to allow them to see whatever they see. I would love to try to incorporate that kind of idea into my works. Allowing my work to be somewhat open ended to where the viewer can have a completely different experience, weather that is physical or emotional to the work then what I the creator has. I love it when artist ask you to come into a space and experience a kind of feeling that they want to convey. That means the audience is subject to a physical and emotional experience to your work. This makes the experience of seeing the work different from that of just looking at a painting or other traditional art foam. This needs peoples involvement to be conveyed, it needed to be walked through and experienced because a picture of a film of it will not do or have the same effect as physically walking through it will.
