Day 8 - Set task

So pick a favourite piece of art work and discuss or analyse it.

The video sort of says it all....

1. What is the medium?

The medium is video projection.

2. Why do you think the artist chose this medium?

I think it was the best way to show or 'rebel' the idea of putting works (of art or advertisment) on public walls but at the same time, not liberally applying it.

3. Do you think it communicates effectively the curatorial premise of the show/how?

I don't know how to answer this one really.....

4. Are there any elements that give a sense of place and not from Australia? What are they?

Yes as the footage is taken in/from a remote place in Vietnam. The artist must have known that posters or advertisments or even art work like graffiti was not allowed to be placed on walls in public. I could tell it was Vietnam as there was some signs with Vietnamese language and that one of the guards on duty in that area of the museum had let me in on the fact.

5.Can you see a global thread in the work that gives you a greater understanding of the work, what is it - or are you having difficulty reading it? why?

I don't know how to answer this one really.....

6. Is there something about the work that you don't understand and that you might seek out the answer by research later?

Probably a further understanding of the culture, which I come from, as to why the society is like that.
