I went to check out the Senior Art show this afternoon. Some of it was really impressive. Someone of it was fairly boring. It was all good work, but compared to the instillations, it was very hard to just look at the photographs or paintings. I really liked the giant painting of main street when you first walk in, i didn't notice the projection of the cars till a little bit after I looked at it. I found it to be a beautiful merger of the two art forms. My favorite piece was the Wonderland instillation by Emily Gilbert. I loved every little detail that she put into it. I may be a bit biased being a photographer myself, and also seeing the begining stages of what was to be. but I love how it turned out, every little detail from the tea cups to the broken time pieces is just lovely. I love the photographs, and how each one tells a story, frame by frame. I did thing that some were a bit dark for my liking, but that could have been for effect. It changed my mind on how a photography instillation could really look. I also like Nicole Totaro's alter piece. At first I was afraid to go in a see it, something about a closed off space, really made me nervous and intimidated. Perhaps that was the whole point, was to scare the audience, to make them nervous. Then I read the artist statement and was at ease, she didn't mean to scare us, just instill the fear of God. Good. I really liked it, especially how she had the coverings hanging up inside the instillation. It was a very interesting vibe.
I was totally in awe of the senior show as a whole, perhaps because there were not as many pieces as I have seen in the past, but I think everything in there was really well done. Well printed, and painted and presented. I was fairly impressed.
