Gallery Space

 These two images show how you can present a 3D model in a gallery using lights, and a photo of the city so that you can build it. This is placed on a round table in the middle of the room with no lights at all just them from the model itself. I think that if you were going to put any sounds to it you would have to think about something along the lines city sounds such as cars beeping and people yelling. Also this model is done in wood, which gives it its 3D effect, whereas paper wouldn't have looked as good or as real. To achieve the high level of detail desired in the wooden model, Strausfeld worked with a fabricator to produce the model that is eleven feet long by nine feet wide and contains over 250 individual buildings. Due to its size, the model was divided into three separate sections so the Center can easily reconfigure its space for special events. Using Macromedia Flash, Strausfeld also developed a content management system, so Wall Street Rising can quickly update the model’s information about current developments and special events.
This is a very good and original idea, as it is something that the viewers probably have never seen before, so it would be very remembered by the audiance. This has given me some ideas that instead of simply hanging photos up in the traditional way, you could have some sort of 3D design in the middle of a room which will capture someones attention as soon as you walk into the room.

Gallery Mood/Atmosphere

There are many different ways to present your work in a gallery, for example the mood or atmosphere of a gallery has a very big effect on the viewers opinions. For example you could improve your atmosphere simply by adding some sounds to do with the images, lights that compliment the pictures, the colours including the wall so that it adds an effect. But you could also go a little more eccentric and have the smells of the images, for example if you had displayed flowers then you could have some sort of flower perfume as if you really were where the image of the flowers were taken.

This image shows one eccentric and modern way to display some work that you have done. This cube was designed by the Eames company and was done so that people could view and understand complex mathematical theory in simple terms and to also engage and entertain the gallery viewers. I think that this is a good piece of work as it is unusual so people are much more likely to want to view it. 

This image was designed by Wolfgang Tillman, and it depicts his idea on how to hang up your images in a less traditional straightforward and parallel way, Tillman has made them look more hectic. I think that this is a very good idea as it would make the viewer look more at it as they would need to stop and look for a lot longer in order to be able to see the whole set of images. Also his images are very bright and colourful, whereas the background is very white and clean so that the images stand out alot more. This would be good in the centre of the room and depending on the images with some kind of music.

Context

I have learnt that the term context means the effect or meaning of something, also it can mean the situation, for example the gallery space has a very big effect on the context because a traditional gallery such as the Graves, which is an old gallery with older ideas such as the traditional gold and elaborate frames and simple colours, this would be out of context if an item form the site gallery would be placed in there as it would look out of place, being so modern. So the context has a very big impact on the way you place your work and also where you place it.
 To carry on from this, I believe that the Millenium gallery is a very modern gallery and wouldn't look right with pictures from the Graves gallery in it as they woul look too traditional and not at all in place, however the Millenium gallery has some exhibitions that are for the older items, such as the mini version of a cinima showing very old films. I believe that this has a very big effect on the audiance as the more older people would probably like to see the more traditional portraits and scenes, whereas, the more young moudern people would prefer to go to the site or the Millenium as it is a lot more up to date.

I chose this image because i liked the idea of simply leaning the work against the wall without much fuss around it. However i didn't like the idea of leaning it against elephant dung, but that is what makes it link to Africa. Also i liked the large wooden space and lack of lights simply focusing on the work. However the images on the floor and the wood background make it seem very spacious and light.
