The Progression of Masks – Mapping Comparisons
Masks have evolved from being tangible in early cultures to something intangible in contemporary culture. Social uses differ in present context as compared to earlier context of time. A representation of this could be drawn from the structure of the tree of life, which laid is roots in Dogon culture and African cosmology.
Action: Mobile installation
For this part of a project, I’d like to make a mobil installation to represent the cosmos but could still map out the comparisons between the tangible and intangible. If there are space constraints, I would probably document the process and the installation which would be housed at a bigger space via video. It would be an added bonus if I can find a special site – making the work very site specific.
Objects in Orbit by Chrissie Macdonald Collaboration with Andrew Rae.
Detroit Gallery, Stockholm, 2011
This installation has a constant object that ‘revolves’ around different elements. Instead of making it literally revolve/orbit the constant object is placed in different environments.
Mobiles made from everyday objects by Hanna Sandin
The simplicity and elegance of the mobiles are quite an irony to the everyday objects that were used to make them. The artist has a gift of curating these objects, placing them together to create a visual symphony. From this I learn that balance is an important element for a mobile installation. It is pretty much a floating sculpture and the manipulation of air space is important. Mobiles are constantly moving so there are multiplicities when viewing the art work.
