This first day of the Easter school is comprimised of a trip to the Yorkshire Sculpture park to see the Kaws exhibition. The weather was uncharacteristically good, although it did hail for a minute or two. As a group we discussed the postures of the figures, and how they seemed similar to that of awkward children or moody teenagers. There was also a sense that the poses were often delibertely composed to suggest the chracters were 'aware' that they were on exhibition, as if some did not like being stared at all day in a field.
In this image all three strangers make eye contact with the camera.
We also visited the Bill Violo exhibtion, which was amazing. The video installations were part of a maze of pitch black rooms, which inhanced the effect of the sound and light being used. The high definition sometimes created the impression that they were windows or live feeds of something that was presently happening.
(Much darker than this)
