Okay, for the next few weeks, we are returning to the RSA open exhibition at the National Gallery of Scotland, which Mac1 and I visited in March. Art is present in our lives for all sorts of reasons. First, for the artist, expression and experimentation. Then, for the viewer, interpretation and amusement... or, occasionally, disgust. The Damian Hirsts and Tracy Emins of the world do not appeal to me, but for many people they are worth the hundreds of thousands of pounds they command. Then again, some of the things of which I am greatly fond fail to impress others. This is the wonder, the conundrum of art. It is so very much in the eye of the beholder.
People often say, "I don't 'get' it". That's okay. It's not necessary to 'get' something. Find what you can for yourselves, I say in return!
Anyway. First, the moving sculptures that caught my eye and had me lingering, watching and listening for a little while. This demanded a little video rather than a still photo.
That thud-thud sound is quite eerie, especially since I played the video at about 5 in the morning. Very still and dark outside.
ReplyDeletewe like the names of the art pieces... it fits
ReplyDeleteThere are some very clever pieces of moving art about in the world.
ReplyDeleteThere was an exhibition of sound art in Aberystwyth at the same time as the ceramics festival.
ReplyDeleteDon't dismiss Tracey Emin completely...along with Dali, Klimt, Picasso and many others....look at her drawings.

DeleteNone of which appeal, only apall (to me - but as I stated, that is only for me...) Yxx
They are fun to see but I would never want one in my home.
ReplyDeleteA fun exhibit! Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThere will never be uniformity in art appreciation. And that’s the way it should be.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting...almost as if art and science meet.
ReplyDeleteWell they surely caught my eye...love the motion it is relaxing and of course there is RED
