One think I am looking into at the moment is placement of installations and how they are displayed. I feel this is a very important point within textile art and I have become increasingly critical about this.
at the Cloth and Memory exhibition I was looking at different ways the work had been displayed and why.
Large Scale
Chalk markings
Clean and obvious
Large scale, multiple components
In this piece the artist had put a chalk sign and a piece of string around the work on the floor, I noticed that this was not seen and the person in this picture immediately walked upto the piece and walked over the line. This form of audience placement did not work in this case!
Small and hidden, have to crouch down
Plinths, walk between the pieces
Large scale and reflection
Small and intricate
Other senses, sounds and touch
