The Exhibition

The exhibition was completed last friday, and the private view was a great success. I’m very pleased with how my work has been displayed.

We had our critique yesterday and I got some new responses to my work. People were suggesting a new edge to the work, adding something more contemporary (like a small part of the picture). People suggested using a different liquid for the milk, such as a coloured paint or a different earring.

However I’m critical of this element because of earlier in the project, when I had forgotten to take off my nail varnish and used a biro in one of the pieces, I was advised that this was the wrong route to take, even if some people would think this the best part of the work.

I’m going to experiment with doing some intentional changes to the performances.

This painting was really hard to re-create as the angles in the painting seem to be unrealistic when you actually start trying to move the camera into place.

I’ve ended up bleaching it our a bit too much as well.

Time

Time is pressing on, the critique is in less than two weeks and I’m finding it impossible to book out a studio and rent camera equipment this week. The exhibition has started being put up today and everyone is very focused on that.

Hopefully I will be able to book out a studio..

Raeda Saadeh

I was introduced to this artist today by my tutor. She is working with a very similar idea, re-performing the classical masters paintings herself. However in her work she’s dealing with a lot of political things, to do with her home in Palestine.

“In this first monograph of her work, photographer, installation, video and performance artist Raeda Saadeh conveys the many paradoxes, ironies and frustrations of daily life in her homeland, Palestine, with captivating humour and charm. Drawing from influences as diverse as the European great master painters and ancient fairy tales, she presents an upbeat strength and positivity that encourage the viewer
to do a double-take and reconsider entrenched opinions.”
