Report on my gallery Space!

If I was to exhibit my work in a gallery, there would be a lot of things to think about, such as the images that I want to show, the sounds I may be planning to play to set a more appropriate mood, I may also want to put some kind of item in the gallery to give it an extra boost, for example I could put pipes in a room to illustrate heavy industry. Also for the sounds of heavy industry I could use metal sounds. However I would have to also think about some of the more smaller details, which are still as important, such as the lighting, paper, frames, colour for the walls and the floor surface. These are as equally important because they could change the way someone viewed my work. For example if I was to exhibit some modern work and I was to put it into an old gallery space and use an elaborate and patterned frame, it would probably look out of context.
 
If I was to exhibit my work in a modern gallery I would probably use some of my Photo shopped images of kaleidoscopes. I liked these because they can trick the eye very easily and they look very nice and colourful. If I was to do this I would put them on large canvases at around about A4 size.
Also I would have the walls in plain white or maybe even black because then they would stand out even more and you would look directly at them. I think that there wouldn't need to be any frames as the detail would be all in the images and it would look too much if I was to have a frame also. However, it could look okay if I was to use a thin border in - black if the walls are white or black if the walls are white.
If I was to have some kind of music  playing in the background I would probably use some kind of techno music that would be as entrancing as the images themselves.
I believe that if I was to have any props I would perhaps like to use mirrors so that the images would be reflected around the room. I think that this would have a good effect on people as they would feel a little like they were in a mad house that they used to have. However I would make it more obvious that the mirrors were there as I would put outlines around them.
This is how I would present my images if I was to exhibit in a gallery

Julian Beever

Julian Beever has a completely different way at showing his work, as he does 3D chalk drawings. I think that this is a very good idea as its something totally original and up-beat. This doesn't need a lot of anything as you wouldn't need to be framed there would be normal sounds of the street as that's where he draws them. I believe that this would be loved by the audience as its something that they can interact with.

This is another one of Julian's images. I liked this because it looks very real. I also liked the idea of the viewers being able to physically touch the images as they are drawn on the street. This would give me some aspiration as I think that it would be a good idea almost like a Magritte painting as he has taken a small size object and turned it into a huge life size image.

Richard Serra

 This shows a new modern way to present ones work. I liked this because there is no frames or anything, so it's pretty simple to do you would just need some very large prints and a colour (or black and white pending on opinion) background. There isn't many lights, just ones on the ceiling aiming down on the image, but mostly skimming the image and reflecting from the ground.



These are other images of his work, but this is of a large structure which is in a spiral, and as the image shows people can walk around it. There is no way you could frame this as the frame is the building itself. Also the lighting was natural as you would go round it in the daytime. This is extremely contemporary and up to date. You could put really any sound to this as it has no specific theme such as flowers to it. However you could try heavy industry as the sculpture is industry looking. This is interecting very well with the audiance as you can walk around them and thus are very involved.
