The Art

The three art pieces I chose are pictured to the left. I chose these pices for their variety of size and levels of transparency-- they inspired me to play with interaction without physical touch. Whilst Hanging Arson and The Privet are stationary, 1.8 Renwick is mounted on a motarized pulley system and is outfitted with LED lights. I decided that this piece must be the final stop: it’s movement and emission of color would pull guests through my gallery if they could see the light from other moments in the gallery.

Below are sketches of a visit to Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. The purpose of this exploration was to experience the MFA’s contemporary art wing to theorize how a person would interact with my chosen art pieces.
