The coherency between the works was really hard to discover. Each work had so many different things going on in it, that it was very hard to strike conversations between the works. The playful use of colour was nice, and the stark use of acrylic to hold a drawing in was really good. nice and clean. I didn't really understand the use of the commercial racking to house the projector, it made me think of an industrial warehouse where they would stack goods. The projection was incredibly light too, and I'm not sure it was meant to be like that. The curation was slightly predictable too. I have been to many shows at Limoncello and they all seem to use the same formula, except, Vanessa Billy, who actually used the ceiling. Its not that i didnt like the work, i just feel that it was poorly set out. When i have looked at some of his other work on the limoncello website, it got me really excited, and i was very keen to see it in the flesh.

Gupta chooses signature objects of the Indian sub-continent and relocates them as art objects in monumental installations of stainless steel and tiffin-tins. Spill is an overbearing work of great scale that has at its centre a larger than life stainless steel water vessel, with many smaller steel utensils spilling over the edge like water pouring out.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong class="titleG"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" ><span>These works were of real importance to me, when walking in the room, the sensory experience was really striking. You could not helo but be drawn to them as objects due to their shiny surface. The visual appeal of these works was really strong. The use of domestic objects, such as kitchen utensils was slightly predictable and expected but they way in which they had been transformed into somethings else was really interesting, like in UFO, 2007. This eliptical shape is like my microwave plate peice and this struck me straight away. The way in which the title completly changed the way i looked at the work. The fact they were kitchen utensils was not important anymore. The shiny surface became really the main point of interest. The surface took over. The fetishness of the bright, high-shine surface was all you could look at. </span></span><br /><br /></span></strong></span>Russell Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15171108395543068247noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020064767912685368.post-21506222568469539372010-04-10T03:16:00.001-07:002010-04-10T03:20:46.122-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdWVn6h6x-qyguIJNw51o6WcR1A1JJZwaz2nFhlRfjXuYuogR5aZzUxtIH3GiO5tZ7WuixK2q5LZDyYU2ksF_lidJjtZ9exvn65Dd0Y5EEuNZQpGzZVnmAUG1GTYDymt0OUpn6ERPBuKA/s1600/Picture+1.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdWVn6h6x-qyguIJNw51o6WcR1A1JJZwaz2nFhlRfjXuYuogR5aZzUxtIH3GiO5tZ7WuixK2q5LZDyYU2ksF_lidJjtZ9exvn65Dd0Y5EEuNZQpGzZVnmAUG1GTYDymt0OUpn6ERPBuKA/s320/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458450764830211298" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Visit my Showtime Profile at : <a href="http://www.arts.ac.uk/showtime/RussellHill">www.arts.ac.uk/showtime/RussellHill</a>Russell Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15171108395543068247noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020064767912685368.post-18189672411304552532010-03-31T10:53:00.000-07:002010-03-31T11:01:22.047-07:00SURREALIST ADVERTISING<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVUOOa9aEYE7AFRJ5O9PIbOtNuH9wDesD4LFxYQ20Jo3-EUEwLZ5v_IIOtKEpU-XGCUsJNAhxhPcuzWknPtsFUiZ_LSDcyPTLEFQIuc6OoxqB3DplfR0dkTsKZuSMHCsZmyQALI9zkoJ0/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVUOOa9aEYE7AFRJ5O9PIbOtNuH9wDesD4LFxYQ20Jo3-EUEwLZ5v_IIOtKEpU-XGCUsJNAhxhPcuzWknPtsFUiZ_LSDcyPTLEFQIuc6OoxqB3DplfR0dkTsKZuSMHCsZmyQALI9zkoJ0/s320/Untitled-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454858369914131890" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Images taken from:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">These images depict adverts in the 80's for Benson and Hedges.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Consuming Passions : The dynamics of popular culture By Judith Williamson</span>Russell Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15171108395543068247noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020064767912685368.post-43191338548649271812010-03-30T10:54:00.000-07:002010-03-30T15:17:13.597-07:00COMMON CULTURE<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihTiweCrEjAYChuhErZBomKQy3ZqHFntxMAApI-GN_1tYnlSxGgx74FDr7Vh_yz0H8qaaZgbxQTsfHCv4zZNwhwvnR2wtffXTdj1q8-kvfoQcwZKDV_O_zYJX9a9FEuEwoE16zOi5DS2c/s1600/Picture+5.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihTiweCrEjAYChuhErZBomKQy3ZqHFntxMAApI-GN_1tYnlSxGgx74FDr7Vh_yz0H8qaaZgbxQTsfHCv4zZNwhwvnR2wtffXTdj1q8-kvfoQcwZKDV_O_zYJX9a9FEuEwoE16zOi5DS2c/s320/Picture+5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454487209554197122" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt4jpZ3qVquZTx3CdMmqlBfAIJQpnkOuYqdYpb8K2shIz3vlxPcKhq983xsOE8ihDI0n1hV7ShhGh0GUU1b9i_nIL9W5NU0m7a9iLBk1cNGSNy-7lNPHNkR7pR02Ps2iYOJX5XJR8XoZM/s1600/Picture+4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 302px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt4jpZ3qVquZTx3CdMmqlBfAIJQpnkOuYqdYpb8K2shIz3vlxPcKhq983xsOE8ihDI0n1hV7ShhGh0GUU1b9i_nIL9W5NU0m7a9iLBk1cNGSNy-7lNPHNkR7pR02Ps2iYOJX5XJR8XoZM/s320/Picture+4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454487004744467682" border="0" /></a><br /><br />'Menus' explores the process by which issues of taste, class and notions of 'Britishness' are negotiated through the transaction of commodities in popular culture.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Came across 'common culture' whist looking through a book called 'variable capital' by David Cambell and Mark Durden.Interesting to realise how noticeable and identifiable a vehicle liek this is.

The number of canvases corresponds to the varieties of soup then sold by the Campbell Soup Company. Warhol assigned a different flavor to each painting, referring to a product list supplied by Campbell's. There is no evidence that Warhol envisioned the canvases in a particular sequence. Here, they are arranged in rows that reflect the chronological order in which they were introduced, beginning with "Tomato" in the upper left, which debuted in 1897.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">I feel like i cant really think about my Airwick peices without at least recognising that i am aware of the above peice of work.

In this work two monitors are placed at head height, so that the performers stare out directly at the viewer. Two professional actors recite the same series of one hundred phrases, beginning in a flat tone but becoming more emotional. Because they are talking at different speeds, the actors fall out of step with each other, and the continuously looped videos become out of sequence. Many of the statements imply moral judgements which, through repetition, seem increasingly threatening.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">This video has the sort of pace i could never achieve.

It must feel like anticipation in terms of when the glass plate is going to move, the more people that are in the room the better, pressure.</span>Russell Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15171108395543068247noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020064767912685368.post-71264843999112055462010-03-29T17:10:00.000-07:002010-04-17T03:36:37.821-07:00HARRISON AND WOOD - Wimbledon Gallery<span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">EXHIBITION VISITED</span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwYf3-7HNf4y9GxICar0YvewIHfIEb3ejOauETapqsXniPxFvuqS7rWMflaZa1v9GpDTsUlU14M1gvhzs71KlhcrWHD0wU3Ix4I9JnAavuMr12fa_Eu1KXs2XuSDx55mCV9o-VymPNz9Q/s1600/DSC_0349.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwYf3-7HNf4y9GxICar0YvewIHfIEb3ejOauETapqsXniPxFvuqS7rWMflaZa1v9GpDTsUlU14M1gvhzs71KlhcrWHD0wU3Ix4I9JnAavuMr12fa_Eu1KXs2XuSDx55mCV9o-VymPNz9Q/s320/DSC_0349.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454214896343830114" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOzvoKqNhTb3GQ57Yonc-cnzjIWxY2CjzyS257FW_RbJ8Z1PdOP3SONfv8pf5s0I8SndjvSLXnEoH00U7W5Ov4IOsUx3r3B5q-2_jzA8lZaihkmqUlqupxXbkciamJLlctUJHcJ0zs-zE/s1600/DSC_0232.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOzvoKqNhTb3GQ57Yonc-cnzjIWxY2CjzyS257FW_RbJ8Z1PdOP3SONfv8pf5s0I8SndjvSLXnEoH00U7W5Ov4IOsUx3r3B5q-2_jzA8lZaihkmqUlqupxXbkciamJLlctUJHcJ0zs-zE/s320/DSC_0232.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454214448424210066" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXDm6Jmy6BM3o75nV4-0uptuvLAvrGzvLhbpHNZJdWM_B3k8wTUNCTGzWvtNmsv8cA1vOsM8dQfF5YFgJXllcIxowseTJWUDK7Bj9hp2t-9Nny8n55ic8GKODtqTlGEHV1OzG46H_2eW4/s1600/DSC_0215.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXDm6Jmy6BM3o75nV4-0uptuvLAvrGzvLhbpHNZJdWM_B3k8wTUNCTGzWvtNmsv8cA1vOsM8dQfF5YFgJXllcIxowseTJWUDK7Bj9hp2t-9Nny8n55ic8GKODtqTlGEHV1OzG46H_2eW4/s320/DSC_0215.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454213587652728498" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span id="PrevLink" title=""><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">These are two people that i could never get bored of. They were recently shown at the Wimbledon Gallery and i sat and watched there filsm over and over again. The simple graphic display of John and Paul as objects in there own right interests me everytime i see the films. There were quite a few that i had seen before. Irony was more obvious to me now. I met them on my foundation, liked there look, but now looking back, i really understand there videos much more. I read about them a lot too in books and articles. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /></span>Russell Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15171108395543068247noreply@blogger.com0
