Mining the Museum Tess and Quinn




Fred Wilson took different pieces from the museum and arranged them to create and new work of art. We have taken three objects that we feel show some sort of inner darkness or struggle. Our first is called Woman's Wrapper by Kouadio N'Gri Bernard. This would open the instillation the pattern draws the you into an infinite darkness. The next is called Maja by Antonio Saura the variation in line weight adds to the darkness of the piece that we feel is emotional and intriguing. This would be on the next wall of the gallery. This would represent the total chaos of life. Our last is called Coffin Bank by Yone. This would be at the end of the gallery it would represent the box that humans put their emotions in. Our installation is meant to show emotion, fear and the sense of being trapped.

  2. Your installation is very visual compelling...I enjoy the dark and mysterious works you have chosen, which seem very apropos for the season. A little more information about the work (media, date, collections) would enrich our understanding/'readings' of the installation. It would be interesting also to consider the different times/cultures these works come from and how that information can work together toward a creating a new meaning, as well.
