Anne-Marie Watkins


















Artist - Anne-Marie Watkins

An alternate means to forcing the spectators to interact with the piece, whoever looks upon any surface of Anne-Marie Watkins's 'Monument', sees his or her own reflection, immediately making them apart of the work.

Measurements: height: 15 cm -width: 13 cm -depth: 9 cm
Style Period: contemporary art
Subject: object, architecture, recurring motif
Technique: sculpture, painting

Description: A series of objects and paintings. Selectors’ comments: ‘Great interplay of objects and paintings. Which is the detail? Where is it going? Very obsessive and rewarding. Inside the sliced mini mountain is a wall, a hole-less cave. The troglodyte forgot to make a door and was worshipped as an Aztec jumping has been. The feeble blue castle turret did offer scant protection to King Gerry the Gerbil for republican rats.’

Title: The First City
Work Type: sculpture
Date of work: 1998
Style Period: contemporary art

Does it matter at what scale i construct my installations, how would they be best represented in terms of size, and would they be more successful as a different size? test my accusations by experimenting with scale.

Jackson Webb's 'Hippopotamuse' among other things represents the close link between sculpture and painting. Would including more than one creative technique add anything to my practice? How would it effect it, and how could I incorporate multiple medium's succesfully into an individual piece?

Youngmi Chun






















































Title: 2nd floor
Work Type: installation
Date of work: 2005
Materials: medium: cement, sand, carpet
Measurements: area: 5
Style Period: contemporary art
Subject: interior architecture, floor
Technique: sculpture

Description:
the space where I was showing my work had terrible floor paint that I was not allowed to remove. I therefore decided to make my own floor for my pieces and named it “2’nd floor”.’

Entering a site with the intent to exhibit existing pre-created work, then adapting your ideas to better suit your exhibition-al circumstances is a strong skill to possess when thinking about how to get the best from the site you are exhibiting in. Chun is a perfect example of this, when he came to present his work he found it degraded by an inappropriate flooring, and instead of sacrificing the fundamentals of his work in order for the exhibition to proceed, he constructed a new piece, covering the previous unwanted flooring with what he was now exhibiting.

Kentaro Chiba














Title: Life Scroll
Work Type: drawing
Date of work: 1998
Materials: medium: offset lithograph print
notes: from drawing
medium: video projection
Measurements: length: 17 ft
extent: scroll
Style Period: contemporary art
Subject: life drawing, human figures, fantasy, creativity, detailing
Technique: lithograph, drawing

Description:
Kentaro Chiba's work is a continuous pursuit, a circle of life and creativity. The Life Scroll is the evidence of a painstaking process, the time spent creating a detailed vision in the full knowledge that this will never be seen in its entirety. This relation between association and image; subconscious quotation, recognition and slowed snails pace, delivered over his lifetime, is an extended multi-angled sense of visual and creative inevitability.
