Women Fashion Power Exhibition and The Tate Modern


I personally did not find the Women Fashion Power exhibition that inspiring. It didn't relate to any of the concepts and themes I was looking into for the project. However there were a few items in the exhibition I found interesting. One thing I really liked that was slightly random and different from things I am usually attracted to was a handkerchief. It had prints of how the world would be if women ran it. I thought this was the cutest/coolest thing. It really made me want to put some of my drawings onto material and create prints of them. I may be a promotion student but I think it is good to experiment any way.

At the Tate we looked at Nam June Paik's work. I absolutely loved his work. I've always been a fan of when people use magnets to distort video images.  I think his work was so inspiring for me because I love video but his work takes video further. He inspires me to try and be more experimental.

I have been thinking about using installation style work, or 3D visual work and using it for shoots. Because I find this style of art very intriguing and I want to be able to try it out but then also use it for  projects. I think I just have a desire lately to create something that is more than just photographs and moving images.
